Chapter 5: Why do you bite your lip every time I push my hair back?
Destiny's point of view: When I woke up the next morning my neck was in a knot. My head was resting on Tenison's chest and his arm was wrapped around my waist tightly. As soon as Tenison started stirring I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I heard his yawn and he paused. I could feel his smile; he chuckled and said quietly "how did I pull this off." I felt his fingers push the blonde hair out of my eyes and fall back down to his side. I yawned and opened my eyes slowly. He blushed and pulled his arm away from my waist. I sat up and he said "sorry I shouldn't have fallen asleep here." I smiled and said "Its fine besides we both fell asleep at about the same time and Jack fell asleep before all of us." "I heard Adam walk back in and say that he was about to pass out on the floor outside to Annabelle and they probably fell asleep in her bed." I added. "So it's just you and Annabelle?" He asked. "Yeah, it's just us two living here." "What about your parents do you ever see them?" He asked. I averted my eyes from his and he said "I shouldn't have opened my big mouth." "No its ok I just haven't heard from my mom or dad since I was born." "They left you?" He asked quietly. "No, my mother died during my birth and my dad had left for sea only for maybe two weeks and never came back…the foster care said that he must've gotten lost at sea and passed." "Who are your foster parents then?" He said scooting back next to me. "I don't have any when I was around eight years old I escaped from the foster house and started living in an alley then I met Annabelle and her dad when I was about ten years old and it's been us two since then." I said. He pushed the falling blonde locks out of my eyes again. I stifled a laugh and he said "I shouldn't have done that sorry." "It's ok Tenison it's just that my hair keeps falling into my eyes." When it tried to fall in front again I swept it to the side and he bit his lip. "Why do you bite your lip every time I push my hair back? I asked. "First why are you looking at my lips?" He asked. "I'm not I just noticed that you bite your lip whenever I push my hair back into place." "No reason, I just bite my lips a lot." "Annabelle, the time has come! They're talking about lip biting!" Adam called into Annabelle's room. I threw a couch pillow at him and said "shut up before she gets an idea." "What kind of idea" Tenison asked. "They are!" I heard Annabelle ask. She walked out of her bedroom wearing her fuzzy purple robe and smiling like New Yorkers were the politest creatures that ever lived. She sat down on the couch next to me with her best bright eyes on. I pushed her playfully and whined "please no ideas today!" "To bad" she laughed pushing me back. I rolled my eyes and she said "I'll call in sick for you today at work ok besides you look really tired and you need to take pressure of your ankle." I huffed and said "fine but I'm not tired I'm doing it for my ankle." She smiled and went over to wake up Jack who was practically sleeping like a king all spread out on his side of the couch.
Chapter six: That wasn't supposed to happen
Destiny's point of view: When Annabelle and Adam left to drop Annabelle off at work Tenison started trying to make sure that I didn't worry over them. "Don't go I seriously can't have you go just yet…besides you really don't need to go back down to the alley in broad daylight do you." Tenison stopped because he knew I had a point. I wanted to smirk as he sat back down next to me on the couch. "Jack you know where the apples are right? Can you go get one for you and your brother?" I asked. He nodded quickly and ran to the kitchen. I turned back to Tenison and he shook his head at me saying "I shouldn't take your food Destiny." I rolled my eyes and said "It's just two apples not the whole fridge." He sighed and Jack handed him an apple. "I seriously shouldn't take this from you." He said. "Tenison what do you eat every night at the alley." I said. He didn't answer but Jack said "we eat what Tenison can buy from thirty dollars a week." I watched as Tenison turned the apple in his worn hands. "Tenison come on I know your starving inside." I said quietly. "Tenison says that he can't eat half of what he brings back…he says he would rather have me eat than him." Jack said quietly. Tenison tried to put the apple on the coffee table but I caught his arm and said "eat the apple or you will starve to death and be as thin and pale as Dracula." He looked at me and finally took a bite out of the apple. I watched him quietly and smiled saying "I'm glad your finally eating something." "Sure anything for you" he said getting up and tossing the apple core in the garbage. I asked "Jack do you want to watch a movie or something?" I tossed him the remote and his eyes went wide. "Uh, sure Destiny thanks…" he skimmed his eyes over the remote and I thought wow, it's like he's never seen a remote before. I watched as he turned on a romantic comedy and actually enjoyed seeing a dark haired, blue eyed guy fall in love with a blonde hair blue eyed girl. Tenison sat down next to me and as if in a trance he put his arm around my shoulders. I moved in closer to him also memorized and kept my eyes trained on the screen. He broke his eyes away and smiled down at me. "What's wrong" I whispered looking up. He shook his head but quietly he was leaning in. I looked from his eyes and to him biting his lip then started to lean in too. Then I heard the door open. We jumped apart from each other and I was blushing madly. "That wasn't supposed to happen I am so sorry Destiny." He whispered. "It's ok I just need Annabelle to help me with something" I lied getting up and limping over to Annabelle who was hanging up her coat. "Annabelle he was just about to kiss me what the heck!" I whispered harshly. "Oh dang I wish I had come in while you were kissing that would've made me happy!" She whispered pouting. I walked back to the couch and sat down next to Tenison again. I curled up still in my jeans, flannel shirt and jacket from yesterday. "The office said you have to work another eight hours tomorrow." Annabelle said. I groaned and closed my eyes. "I better fall asleep now so I can get my work done tomorrow." Tenison and Jack gave each other a glance.
