It Started With Coffee

I do NOT own Degrassi

I'm Not Leaving

I woke up with someone curled up against me, and the smell of vanilla surrounding me...both would not be found in my apartment across town, my bed smelt like old spice and I sure as hell didn't have someone curled against me. Eyes still closed I tried to remember what had happened after me and those guys fought it out, my head pounded from the hangover I had. Breathing deep I smiled a bit as someone else who always smelt like vanilla drifted into my pounding head and then the body beside me moved again, my hand moved as they did and it was now resting on their stomach.

Then it hit me, I Jay Hogart was laying in bed with Ellie Nash. I'm not sure what I did to get in here, I remember us talking and me explaining things and her explaining things but the rest was a blur the pounding in my head making it all blend together. I smirked and opened my eyes only to grown as the light from the window pierced my eyes "Damn." I muttered as she moved again this time stretching I heard her yawn and sigh."Want me to get you some Tylenol?" her voice was soft and still tinted with sleep.

"If you would be so kind?" She chuckled and moved away from me, I almost grabbed her to me again the cool air touched my body where her warm body had just been. "Hurry back." I said as I heard her walk from the bedroom, she didn't answer back but she was back before I knew it. "Here, this should help with the hangover." Opening my eyes again I looked at her, she had her hand held out and I reached out taking the white pills from her and popping them in my mouth, next I took the water from her swallowing them down.

I watched as she started to walk away and I made a split second choice and grabbed her hand pulling her back with enough force that she landed on the bed. "Jay!" She said startled as she fell onto the bed and in turn on to me. "I said for you to hurry back." I said wrapping my arms around her, while I ignored the startled look on her face. "I did hurry back hence the fact that you've already taken the pain pills." She said pushing on my chest, I couldn't help but smirk. "I meant hurry back to bed, you where keeping me warm." She looked at me with a frown on her pretty face. "I have to work today Jay, which means getting up and ready."

I frowned, it was Sunday I didn't work today but she did. Sighing I let her go. "Fine, but I think you should call in sick." I said resting my hands on her back and then moving them up so I was rubbing her back and I almost cried out in happiness when she melted into me. "I wouldn't have to work if you hadn't scared away my potential roommate." She said scolding me, but I ignored that to in favour of allowing my hands play over her pajama clad body slipping one hand under her shirt to feel the soft skin there. "Come on Jay, I have to get up." I shook my head and fisted my hand in her hair bringing her face down for a kiss, she was hesitant at first but after applying a little more pressure and using my tongue to lick at the seal of her lips she sighed and joined in opening her mouth for me. I deepened the kiss smiling when hands fisted in my shirt, my hands where moving up her back under her shirt, her skin was like silk under my palms. Her tongue met mine and I had to hold back a groan it was a great feeling, she was hesitant almost unsure of herself. I smirked and turned us so I was now on top, breaking the kiss to place my lips on her neck nipping, licking and sucking on the smooth column of her throat she rewarded me with a moan that went right to my groin.

"Jesus Red." She was so responsive, arching into my seeking hands as I explored her body under her shirt. My headache was all but gone now, but the thought that she had to go to work lingered in my head. I'd already started something I knew we wouldn't be able to finish right now. Her hands tangled in my hair as she pulled my head up to hears, sealing her lips over mine in a needy kiss. "We. Need. To. Stop." I said against her mouth. "I know." She murmured her voice husky with desire. I placed a soft kiss on her mouth before rolling off so she could get up, I admired the view, her cheeks were flushed and her chest rose and fell as she sucked in air.

I watched as she composed herself again, flashing me a smile. "Come on, get changed and I'll drive you." I was being so nice...damn she was getting to me, although the bruises on my face clearly said that I still had an anger problem but I was getting better considering and well I didn't drink nearly as often now. I watched Ellie get off the bed and gather her work clothes before disappearing out of the room and in to the bathroom. Sighing I pushed myself up and out of bed, coffee I needed it.

Slipping my feet into my shoes I headed out of the bedroom. "Red, we got any coffee?" yes I said we, I wonder if she'll correct it. "Should be some above the microwave." She said as she walked out of the bathroom, her hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail; she was in her usual work clothes. "But I'm gonna be late...so can we pick one up? Please." I glared at her stalking towards her, what I hoped was a look of intent on my face. "What do I get out of it?" I asked getting closer to her. "I'll let you kiss me goodbye." She said with a smirk and I grinned. "Sold, let's go Red." Laughing, probably at me she grabbed her bags and the keys as we headed out of her apartment.

Change to Ellie's P.O.V

I kissed Jay good bye as he dropped off for my shift, I had a small smile on my face as I grabbed a box and headed to the front to start restocking. I was here until four and I was ready to go home already...he was going to be coming to get me at the end of my shift so at least I wasn't walking today. My head wasn't in my work as I went about doing it, I was busy thinking about Jay...everything there was so weird, I had hated him and now I know I defiantly like him.

Sighing I looked at the CD in my hand and set it with the others, I couldn't get him out of my head...I don't think I have slept that good since Sean left and it wasn't that I missed the other, it was strictly the fact that I had gotten used to having someone beside me. But I don't want him just to sleep beside me I actually like Jay Hogart...lord help me. I just finished stocking the new stock when started to get busy, I was usually cash so I went to the front and did my job.

Half way through my shift I got an unexpected visitor. "Ellie!" Looking up I smiled as Marco came walking into the store with a smile on his face. "Hey Marco, what brings you here?" I asked coming around the counter to give him a hug. "Was in the area and remembered you worked today." He said shrugging. "Seems to be the only way to see you, but I have a question." I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded. "What's up?" I asked frowning as I waited. "Well I called your cell and to my surprise, someone who was not you answered."

I frowned and cursed, I must have left my phone in the car. "Yeah, I must have left it in Jay's car." Silly me, I looked at Marco as he took in the name of the person. "Jay? As in Jay Hogart...you're still hanging out with him?" He sounded slightly surprised. "Yes, Marco I am...I think we're seeing each other." I said not really sure what we were or weren't, either way I was okay with it all. "Seeing each other? El this is Jay." I glared I knew who it was, and he had been the one person who came to see me whenever possible even when I was busy. I heard the door chime and looked up. "Speak of the devil." I muttered but a smile settled across my face.

"Red, you left this in my car." He said holding up my black cell phone, like it was a bug. "It's been going off since you left, and it's driving me nuts." I chuckled and took it from him as he pulled me into a hug, not noticing or not caring that Marco was there. "I'm at work Jay." I said shaking my head as he let me go, I finished in less than two hours. "Couldn't wait to give this?" I asked putting the phone in my pocket. He shrugged and stepped away. "Could'a but didn't." He finally looked towards Marco when he cleared his throat. "Oh, sorry...ga...Marco." he said saving himself from my verbal abuse by being polite.

"Jay, how are you." I rolled my eyes and walked behind the counter, I could check out the few costumers here as those to chatted. "Ellie tells me you guys are hanging out." I frowned listening in, leave it to Marco to try and find out what was going on. "Yeah, we are...most people like to be around the person their seeing." He said flashing me a smirk. I guess we're seeing each other. "You're seeing her and how many others?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest. "Marco!" I hissed glaring at my friends.

"Just her actually, I don't usually see more than one person when I want to be in a relationship with one of them." I felt my eyes widen but did my best to look busy. "Oh yea? What about Alex?" I closed my eyes and sighed as Jay growled. "Guys, not here." I looked at Jay and noticed he was clenching his teeth; he turned to look at me, the muscle in his jaw twitching. "I'll pick you up in an hour." He said before turning and walking away. "Marco, what the hell was that?" I asked when Jay was gone.

"Well it's the truth, he's a cheater, and I don't want to see you hurt." He said frowning at me like he didn't understand why I was upset. "He's been the most consistent person in my life right now." I said with a sigh. "I like him Marco, that's all that is important right now. So you'll have to deal with it, because I want him around." There I said it; it was just too bad that he hadn't heard it. Damage control would be fun.
