Chapter 3: The Morning After

When Lonnie woke up, she was instantly aware of Jay's arms around her and the fact that she could hear his breathing and his heartbeat. She was just as mad at Audrey as she was last night, but she was glad that this was how her night ended. She lay there for a few minutes, just enjoying the feeling of Jay's embrace. She was curious as to what time it was. Lonnie was usually an early riser, waking up at around six or seven on school days and usually getting up around eight on weekends. She really wouldn't be surprised that even though she had gone to bed at three if she had still woken up at a relatively early time.

She vaguely remembered putting her phone on Jay's bedside table before stumbling into bed. She looked over to the table, and sure enough, her phone was lying on it. She carefully reached over to grab it, not wanting to move too much and wake up Jay. She unlocked her phone and saw that it was almost ten. So not that early, but an acceptable time to wake up considering she had gone to bed at three.

Jay was starting to stir next to her. He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Good morning, beautiful," he said, pulling her closer to him since overnight and when Lonnie had gotten her phone, his embrace had loosened from when they had gone to sleep.

Lonnie giggled as he kissed her cheek. "Good morning." Lonnie let him have her for a few seconds as he continued to kiss her cheek and began moving down her neck. Lonnie loved the feeling of his lips on her neck, but she had things to do today, and none of them could be accomplished if she stayed in bed with Jay all day.

"As much as I would love to lay in bed all day, I have to deal with the mess that is my hair." Jay groaned in disagreement and tightened his grip around her. "And I'm starving, so breakfast would be nice." Lonnie seemed to have won because although Jay had let out another groan, he did loosen his grip and allow her to get out of bed.

Lonnie leaned back into bed and kissed Jay's lips. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She went to their bathroom to use their shower.

While Lonnie was in the shower, Jay got up and started to get dressed. He also searched for clothes for Lonnie to wear since he figured that she didn't want to go back to her dorm. There was a fair amount of Mal and Evie's clothes in their dorm. Both Mal and Evie were shorter than Lonnie (although it was hard to tell because Mal and Evie both wore heels or heeled boots often making them appear taller) so jeans were out of the question. He did manage to find a pair of Evie's shorts that looked like they would be long enough and he found one of Mal's shirts.

He threw the clothes on his bed and then went to wake up Carlos. He knew that if Carlos woke up and discovered that they had gone to breakfast without him, he would be very upset.

He walked over to Carlos's side of the room. "Carlos," he said. Carlos started to stir but he wasn't really awake. Dude was awake now, though, so he started jumping around the bed and licking Carlos's face.

"Dude, stop," Carlos said as he sat up and pushed Dude away. Carlos noticed Jay standing near his bed. "What's up?"

"Lonnie's in the shower. When she's done, we're going to breakfast," Jay explained to him.

"Okay," Carlos yawned as he got out of bed and stretched.

Jay heard the shower turn off. He went over to his bed to grab the clothes and then over to the bathroom door. He knocked on the door. There was a couple seconds of silence before Lonnie called, "Come in!"

Jay opened the door and saw Lonnie standing by the shower with a towel wrapped around her. She was wringing out her hair.

"I found you some clothes," Jay said, holding out the shirt and shorts.

Lonnie walked towards him and grabbed the clothes. She was about to question him about why he had girl's clothes in his room, but she quickly realized they were Mal and Evie's signature colors. "Thanks."

Jay left and closed the door to allow Lonnie to change.

When Lonnie was done, both Carlos and Jay were dressed and ready to go. Lonnie's hair was still wet and she slipped her flip-flops on. Jay grabbed her hand as they left the dorm and Carlos locked the door. They made their way over to the cafeteria.

Lonnie wasn't feeling like a big breakfast, so she just grabbed a bagel and some fruit. The boys would be busy piling up their plates for a while so Lonnie went to find a table for them to sit at. She spotted Mal and Evie sitting at an empty table so she went to sit with them.

"Hey guys," she said as she put her tray down on the table.

"Hey," they both said, but Mal's eyes were fixed on the shirt that Lonnie was wearing.

"Is that my shirt?" Mal asked.

Lonnie looked down and remembered that she was in fact wearing Mal's shirt.

"I've been looking for that! I thought I left it in…" Mal's eyes widened and she trailed off.

Evie was interested now, as before she was scrolling through her social media on her phone. "What is it, Mal?"

"…Jay's room."

Evie gasped. "Oh my gosh! You slept in Jay's room last night!"

They were both shocked at this point. They didn't even know that Jay and Lonnie were together yet.

"Yes, I did, but it's not what you guys think," Lonnie tried to explain to them.

"So, you didn't sleep with Jay?" Mal asked.

"Well, I slept with him, but not like that. You're wearing Ben's hoodie, why don't we talk about that?" Lonnie said, just now noticing that Mal was wearing one of Ben's school hoodies.

"The difference is that Ben and I are actually dating, this is Ben's hoodie and not one of his friend's, and Ben and I did sleep together last night. True, nobody would suspect anything since you aren't wearing any of Jay's clothes, but it's suspicious to us because you're obviously wearing my shirt, this is seriously the weirdest walk of shame I've ever seen."

"First off, Jay and I are dating –"

"Shut up! Since when?" Evie asked.

"Since like two this morning."

"No way! That's awesome!" Mal exclaimed, now a little less suspicious than she was before.

"I'm so happy for you!" Evie chimed in.

"Thanks," Lonnie said shyly, now that she wasn't being defensive.

"But, seriously, why did you sleep in Jay's dorm last night?" Mal asked, not quite done with her interrogation.

"And why are you wearing Mal's shirt?" Evie asked.

"I'm actually also wearing your shorts," Lonnie informed her, as she stood up so they could see.

"That's where those have been! Wait," Lonnie could tell that Evie was looking at something behind her. "When did Audrey get back?"

Lonnie didn't turn around but Mal instantly shifted her attention from Lonnie to Audrey. "Yeah, that's weird, I thought she was supposed to be gone for a few more days.

"Last night," Lonnie told them.

Mal looked back at Lonnie, "There's no way that's a coincidence."

"You got that right," Lonnie said as Jay and Carlos joined them. Jay sat down next to Lonnie and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Evie was still watching Audrey as the boys sat down and started eating. "And she got back together with Chad?"

"What?" Lonnie turned around and sure enough, Chad had his arm wrapped around Audrey and she leaned in to kiss him.

"What is even happening right now? I thought she was over him." Mal said.

"Me too, but I guess since she couldn't have Jay, she decided to get back together with Chad."

"What?!" Both Mal and Evie asked, taken aback by what Lonnie had just said. Jay was looking down at her, piecing together what Lonnie and Audrey's fight must have been about.

"Audrey told me that she was gonna 'make a move on Jay' and then she got mad at me when I told her we were dating," Lonnie explained to them.

Mal was glaring daggers at Audrey. "She is so lucky I don't have my spell book anymore."

"Ugh, it's whatever, she can date whoever she wants," Lonnie said, going back to eating her breakfast.

After they finished eating, Mal and Evie went back to their dorm to start preparing for some event that Mal had to go to. Carlos left to go meet Jane to do homework. This left Lonnie and Jay at the table.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jay asked her, turning towards her.

Lonnie sighed. "Not really, but I'll deal."

Jay pulled her into him for a few seconds. He placed his hands on her arms and leaned his forehead against hers. "No matter what Audrey does, I will never leave you." He moved his hands to cup her face. She nods slightly. Jay connected his lips to hers and kissed her for a few seconds. Jay felt a hunger in him, and he wanted to go further but he restrained himself. He wanted to do this right with Lonnie. He didn't want it to end up like any of his other "relationships" if you could even call them that. Not to mention, they were in public and Jay really didn't want them to be known as the couple who made out all the time.

When they pulled apart, Lonnie began cleaning up her place. "I need to talk to Fairy Godmother."

Jay gave her a confused look but decided not to ask. She'd probably tell him later. "Ok, I'm gonna go work out. You can join me when you're done if you want."

"That actually sounds really nice." Since Lonnie was on R.O.A.R. now, she'd probably have to get in better shape anyway, but it also sounded like the perfect thing to get her mind off Audrey. "Alright, I'll see you when I'm done."

Lonnie stood up from the table. She leaned down to give Jay a quick kiss and then she grabbed her tray and left the cafeteria.

Jay watched her leave before picking up his tray, putting it away, and then heading to his dorm to get changed.

Ooo, I wonder what she's going to see Fairy Godmother about. Just kidding, I already know. What do you guys think she's going to do?
