The sun crept through the blinds and against her will Erin woke. Her internal clock was so accustomed to waking up early she could rarely sleep in on her days off. It took her a few seconds to realize where she was, and then a few more seconds to realize her head was resting a Jay's bare chest. A shy smile appeared on her lips. Last night she had told him to stay on his side of the bed, but apparently it was her that needed the warning. She felt his chest rise and fall with every soft inhale and exhale, and could hear his hearts steady beat. She knew she should probably move but she was so warm and comfortable.
Jay woke up and noticed where Erin was laying. He didn't remember how they got there in the middle of the night, but he had no complaints. He closed his eyes and pretended to still be asleep while thinking about how easy and perfect it felt having her in his arms.
Erin finally decided to get up and head to the bathroom. The second Jay heard the bathroom door shut a huge grin came over his face. He threw on a tee shirt and some basketball shorts over his boxers and headed downstairs.
"Where is everyone?" Erin asked when she walked into the kitchen.
Jay looked up from the bowl of cereal he was poring himself. "They went to help with some last minute decorating. My mom left a note. Do you want some?" he asked referring to the box of cereal in his hands.
"Yeah I do. Fruity Pebbles were my favorite when I was a kid." She replied.
"What do you mean 'when you were a kid' they are still my favorite!" Jay said back laughing.
Erin smiled "That doesn't surprise me."
Jay looked up and flung a spoonful of the colorful cereal at Erin. She gave him a surprised look before reaching into the bowl of dry cereal grabbing a handful and throwing it at him. She turned quickly on her heels and took off down the hallway laughing.
"Oh it's on now!" Jay yelled chasing after her.
"Catch me if you can Halstead!" she yelled back at him over her shoulder.
Jay followed her into the living room where he grabbed her around the waist from behind. Lifting her up in the air he headed for the couch.
"Put me down!" she screamed while laughing and trying to wiggle out of his arms.
Jay dropped her onto the couch and she swiftly wrapped her arms and leg around him pulling him down. When he started to fall she rolled off the couch onto the floor. Jay turned around onto his back and Erin quickly straddled his waist and pinned his wrist down next to his ears. Catching her breath from the playful struggle she realized just how close her face was from his. Jay had already noticed, and was still as his eyes flickered between her eyes and her lips. He was surprised by how badly he wanted to lift his head and press his lips against hers.
Erin's breathing steadied out and she thought about what it would be like to kiss her partner. She was mustering up the courage to do it when the front door flung open. Jay and Erin simultaneously whipped their heads towards the door, but the rest of their bodies were frozen in shock. Just then Jay's sister strolled into the house looking incredibly hangover and exhausted from the bachelorette party she was just now returning from.
Erin jumped off of Jay and plopped down onto an open section of the couch embarrassed. She could feel the heat in her cheeks and assumed they were bright red. Jay quickly got up to greet his sister and give her a hug. Kayla was feeling to sick to really care, and headed towards the stairs. As she reached the bottom of the steps she looked over "Really on mom and dads couch Jay? Gross." She said teasingly before flashing a small smile and heading upstairs.
Mortified Erin covered her face with her hands. Jay sat down next to her laughing. She buried her head into his chest to muffle the sounds of her hysterical laughing.
"God that was embarrassing" She finally let out between laughs.
