The next morning was pretty quiet as Cailin and Shannon left pretty much as soon as the woke up Kayley left not long after them which just left me, Matt, Mercy and Jeff sprawled out in the lounge room "hey Jeff you awake?" I asked in a soft voice so I wouldn't wake anyone "yeah" he replied, "Can I ask you something?" I asked still in a whisper "yeah what?" he replied "well you know how you were over at Ambers practically all of yesterday" I said as I rolled over on the floor "nothing happened were just friends I was over there talking to her brother that's it" he replied "ok I was just asking.. I didn't know she had a brother" I said as I rolled back over to see Matt's arm draped over the top of Mercy.











"Good morning kids" Gill said as he walked down the stairs and I quickly sat forward and brushed Matt's hand away "morning" I replied with a smile "you going to work?" Jeff asked as he sat up "yep I wont be home till around 6 tonight so iv left you some money if you need it on the counter and if you guys decide to go anywhere call me first ok" he replied as he kissed the top of my head and Jeff's "bye dad have a good day" I said as I waved good bye.















"Morning Bubbles" I said as Mercy came waddling into the kitchen still wrapped up in her sleeping bag "morning" she replied still half asleep "I'm making coffee you want one?" I asked as I held the coffee jar in the air "yes please.. Hey where'd everyone go?" she replied as she shimmied out of her sleeping bag "well Cailin and Shannon left pretty early cause there doing something together today I didn't catch what she said they were doing um Kayley left not long after them cause her family's going away for the weekend" I replied as I handed her a mug and we walked back into the lounge room









"hey where's my mug?" Jeff said sticking out his bottom lip "right here idiot" I replied as I handed it to him "where's mine?" Matt asked from the other side of the room "oh here have mine ill make another one" I said as I went to hand it to him "no its ok I was just kidding" he replied and I sat down next to him.













"So what you got planned for today Mercy?" Matt asked with a smile "um nothing really cause mom's still rearranging the house and I don't think we'll be going anywhere soon" she replied with a little giggle "well you can hang around here if yah want" I said smiling "hey we could go rent some movies or something" Jeff said almost jumping off the couch "yeah but I don't want to spend Dads money "we don't have to ill pay for it" Matt said "ok then well id better get home so I can have a shower and all" Mercy said as she stood up and took her mug back into the kitchen and Matt followed.













"Hey Mercy can I talk to you for a sec?" Matt asked "yeah sure what's up?" she replied smiling "well I was wondering if you might want to go to the movies with me tomorrow night?" he asked nervously "id thought you'd never ask" she replied as he pulled her close and kissed her "whoa sorry" Jeff said laughing "what's going on?" I asked as I followed Jeff into the kitchen "well it looks like you went the only one who hooked up" I said laughing "um well id better get going ill be back soon" Mercy said blushing as she quickly exited the room "ok be back I say half an hour" I replied as I gave her a hug "oh and congrats ah" I added winking my eye and we both laughed.
