Chapter 5: Early Morning Thoughts
Sam slept over that night so as to make the trip to school that morning easier. The boys slept in Danny's room while the girls slept in the guest bedroom.
It was dark outside…everything was quiet except for the crickets who were chirping peacefully outside the Fenton household. What made it even better though, was the secure feeling the four teenagers got from being wrapped warm and snug in the sheets on their nice comfy beds. It was perfect.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Okay, almost perfect.
'Damn alarm clock' Danny thought as he slammed his hand down on the 'Off' button. He looked over at Ben, who was asleep in a pool of drool with half his body hanging off the bed and his hair messed up. 'Wow, he does take after me…oh well, I'll go wake the girls then come back and get him.'
He trudged slowly over to the guest bedroom. He felt kind of bad for the girls…lumpy mattress, itchy sheets, dusty furniture...it was certainly the bedroom from hell.
He opened the door slowly and looked ahead to where the two girls were still sleeping identically on the opposite sides of the bed…quite the same way Ben and himself had been sleeping identically.
He walked over to where Sam lay, sleeping, and just stared at her for a couple of moments…just studying every aspect off her…taking it all into memory. For god forbid anything ever happen.
'Damn, I must be the luckiest guy in the world to have a girl like her.' He thought to himself.
Slowly he leaned down and planted a small, butterfly kiss softly on her lips and her eyes fluttered open to look up at him.
"Can I wake up like that everyday?" She whispered and pulled him down for another kiss.
He pulled away reluctantly and couldn't help but laugh. She was just so beautiful when she was half asleep. He helped her up and though they tried to wake Hannah…she was like Ben and couldn't be reached when in dream land.
"Oh well, at least we have some time to ourselves…come on let's go downstairs." Danny whispered.
They held hands as they snuck down the stairs and outside onto the front porch. They sat down on the swing that was on the porch and Sam pulled her knees up to her chin and leaned up against Danny. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they both stared off at the mountains where the sun was beginning to rise.
"I'm glad I can share this with you…like this…it's so tranquil, so…beautiful." She looked at him when she finished.
"Yah, It is beautiful, but no where near as beautiful as you." And he placed a light kiss on her forehead as she nuzzled her face into his neck.
