So, I love Valentine's day. And snow days. My school didn't get out for President's day... we were like the only school around us that didn't. But the snow day repaid that debt... yay snow days!
Chapter Ten
Mary-Lynette's POV:
It's well after 6 o'clock in the morning before we pass out. We managed to watch every movie and there's no telling how much junk food we ate. Suprisingly, none of the guys messed with us, they were probably afraid that Rashel would eat them alive. I stir when I feel someone pick me up.
"Huh?" I murmur sleepily. A voice shushes me. It's Ash.
"Go back to sleep," Ash whispers in my ear. I look over his shoulder to see Quinn carrying Rashel and James carrying Poppy.
Ash opens a door and lays me on a bed. He lays down next to me and pulls the covers up over both of us. I cuddle into his chest. Within a few minutes, I'm back asleep in the cocoon of his arms.
I don't know how much later it is when I wake back up. I stay still. Ash is still holding me. His breathe stirs the hairs on my forehead. He murmurs something in his sleep and his arms tighten around me slightly.
I lean back and take a closer look at his face. His forehead is covered in sweat and his expression is pinched in slight terror. My eyes widen in shock.
"Ash?" I whisper, putting a hand on his cheek. His eyes open, looking around the room wildly. When his wild and frantic eyes settle on me, he seems to visibly calm. He pulls me closer.
"Are you okay?" I ask, wiping hair away from his sweaty forehead. His eyes turn from a pale blue to violet.
"I'm fine. Just a bad dream," he whispers, pressing a kiss to my forehead. I look at him doubtfully," I promise."
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask, looking at the clock over his shoulder. its around 2:00 in the afternoon.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it," he says, burying his face in my hair. I sigh, knowing I'm not going to get him to budge on this.
"I'm hungry," he announces, sliding off the bed. I nod and get up too. He goes to find our bags. I change in the room while Ash goes to the bathroom down the hall.
Downstairs, I find a bleary looking Rashel making coffee. Ash hops down the stairs followed by a very peppy looking Poppy, a dishevled James and a blank looking Quinn.
"Morning Sunshine," Ash says to Rashel. She grumbles something under breathe and glares at Ash likes she's going to hit him.
Everyone settles around the kitchen table. James, Quinn, and Rashel are downing coffee like there's no tomorrow.
"So do we want Lucky Charms or Fruit Loops this morning?" Poppy asks, pulling said boxes from the cupboard. I wrinkle my nose.
"That's not real food," I say, getting up. Poppy glances at me.
"Well, none of us are very good at cooking," Rashel says with a shrug. She no longer looks like she's going to bite people's heads off, which I take as a good sign.
"I'll take care of it," I say, pulling stuff from the cupboard and fridge. 20 minutes later, I'm setting plates of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon in front of surprised people. I grab my plate of scrambled eggs and sit back down at the table.
"Only eggs?" Ash asks, raising an eyebrow. I shrug. ash, being how he is, decides to get up and investigate, discovering that there's actually nothing left.
"Here," he says, sitting back down and handing me some of his bacon. I blink in surprise as Poppy pushes half of her pancakes toward me.
"It's too much for me anyway," she says, smiling. I grin back and dig in. After everyone is full, we hear the doorbell ring.
"Who was supposed to come by today?" Ash asks, taking my hand.
"If I remember correctly, it was supposed to be..."
