Chapter 3
I wake up the next morning in Han's arms the TV is now off; Malachi must have come in and turned it off. I smile and hug Han tight before sliding out of bed and going to the bathroom, when I come out Han is looking sleepily at me. He holds his arms open and I walk over and crawl back into bed with him and into his arms. "Good morning sunshine." I whisper. He hugs me tighter and says playfully, "Nope, I'm going back to sleep now." I giggle and kiss his cheek. Han pins me to him and looks straight into my green eyes, his dark chocolate brown eyes made my heart melt they were so caring and tender. Then Han surprised me by kissing me on the lips gently when he released me I smiled down at him blushing. He releases me and grabs his pack of cigarettes and pulls one out and lights one, "Got something I can use as an ashtray?" I roll over and open the drawer for the bed side table fishing out my ashtray and my own pack of cigarettes I place the ashtray on his chest and pull one of mine out and light it, Han looks at me in surprise. "I didn't know you smoked." He says flicking his ashes into the tray. I take a puff before saying, "After last night I need one, or maybe the whole pack." We finish our cigarettes in silence and as I put the ashtray away Han asks, "Whens breakfast?" I close the drawer and roll over to look at him, "Well I normally cook so when I make it." We laugh a little then get out of bed we walk downstairs to find Malachi making pancakes. "Morning you two, did you both sleep well?" Malachi asks handing us both plates. "Probably the best night's sleep I've gotten in a really long time." I smile digging in. "Me to, it was really nice thanks for letting me stay over." Han said before starting to eat. Malachi finished making pancakes and came and sat with us, he looks at Han and smiles, "You know Han I like you, you're welcome to stay whenever you like." I drop my fork and look at Malachi in surprise. Han looks up from his food, "Really bro? You'd let me stay whenever I want?" Malachi nods as he chews. "By the way where are Christian and Pharux?"
We all continued eating in silence until the basement door opens to a groggy smirking Pharux who stumbled over to the coffee machine and got a cup of Joe taking a sip and rubbing his eyes he sees Han sitting there eating. Pharux looks down at his appearance which is just his boxers and his hair going every which-way and a fedora. I giggle and tease Pharux, "Looks like someone had a lot of fun last night? So how was it Ruxie?" Pharux snuffs at me. I giggle as I take care of my plate and Christian emerges from the basement as groggy as Pharux was. "What the hell happened last night?" Christian asks rubbing his eyes. I giggle and say, "Ask Pharux you went with him last night." Pharux then hides behind his cup of Joe whimpering, "I didn't do it, it was more or less an act of nature." Suddenly Han and Malachi both drop there forks and look at Pharux standing in front of them with looks of horror on their faces. "What did you do last night?" Malachi asks. Pharux points at Christian and says still smirking slightly, "I don't know ask him." Christian stands in the doorway blushing, "That's a secret." I walk up behind Han and hug him, he smiles turning around to hug me back and I kiss in front of everyone. After he pulls away he asks, "What was that for?" I smile up at him, "Just because I wanted a kiss." He smiles and kisses me again and we laugh as Pharux pipes in, "Aw! You two are so cute!" Pharux pulls his pipe out of his hat and lights it. He puffs it a few times before saying while smirking; "Now you two go get a room." Han, Malachi, Christian, and I all chuckle as Pharux continues smoking his pipe. Han then pulls out his pack of smokes and he takes one for himself before offering me one, I accept happily. He lights mine then his own then Malachi asks, "You started smoking again?" I nod saying, "Eric can't tell me what to do anymore." I look at Pharux adding, "What happened to Eric anyway?" Pharux shrugs puffing on his pipe, "One hit that's all it took to send him running like a little bitch." I nod as I continue to suck on my smoke.
After the whole fun at breakfast Han and I went and got dressed he was going home to get some clothes and stuff and hang out with me all weekend. He decided to take me with him I walked around his room as he threw things into a bag for him this weekend. I sit down on his bed and look at him before deciding to ask, "How much do you know about cars?" Han shrugs, "Enough to know what's wrong with my engine? You?" I sigh, "I know a lot about cars for a girl, I know everything from the way the engine works to what kind of engine is good in what car." He smiles and leans in to kiss my cheek before saying, "Come on lets go." We head out the house and get into his car before I ask, "Where are we going now?" Han shrugs, "Do you want to go back to your place and hangout and watch movies all day?" I smile and kiss his cheek, "Sounds great to me, I have a new teddy bear." He smiles as we drive back to my house we talk about cars all the way. We get in the house and the boys are all in the living room playing some game being loud. I walk in and hug Malachi as I ask the boys, "What you guys playing?" "Black ops, wanna play?" Chico says through a mouth full of chips. I shake my head, "No it's alright I'm gonna watch movies today." Pharux belts out, "ZOMBOOBS!" Then Han and I head up to my room. He sits on my bed as I ask, "How about a James Bond movie Marathon? I have all of them." He sits there thinking for a few seconds before saying, "Alright but were gonna need snacks and drinks before we start anything." I smile from ear to ear be for saying excitedly, "Lets raid the kitchen for drinks! There are snacks in the closet." Han sheepishly responds, "I think I'm in love." We then proceed to raid the kitchen for drinks, I stand there looking in the fridge for energy drinks but there are none I frown. Malachi then taps me on the shoulder handing me half a case of Monster, "Here I know you're looking for these." I smile and scurry up to my room with the half case of Monsters, not long after Han comes up with a half a case of beer. We settle in and start watching movies eating the various snacks from my closet. After 5 movies I pull out my sketch pad and flip to my most recent drawing, a heart with angel wings. I start working on it and Han just watches me draw he lets me finish before asking, "What are you working on?" I smile at him saying, "This is going to be a tattoo one day." He smiles and takes my pencil writing his name in one of the feathers then saying, "There now it's more special." I giggle and show him my other tattoo ideas and tell him my first tattoo will be the Green Day heart grenade over my heart. He smiles and kisses my cheek, he hugs me tight after I put my sketch pad away. We fall asleep watching the movies and do the same the next day before he had to leave to go home.
One week Han got kicked out of school, he spent that week with me. I called in sick each day so he wouldn't have to go through it all alone we sat around slept and watched movies the whole time. Han and I had a bond that was virtually unbreakable, I avoided conversations pertaining to the reason we all moved. Han helped me design another tattoo a heart with devil wings, and changed my idea for another different tattoo that was going to be angel wings on my back was turned into one angel wing one devil wing.
Week after week we spent together whenever we could, then came the Academic Decathlon Finals in Las Vegas. Pharux and I were sharing a room just down the hall from Han, Ben, Daric, and Virgil. I was keeping Pharux from gambling since he has a bad habit of it we sat on one of the beds playing Black Jack against each other. We had been playing for a few hours when we hear a bang on the door; I open the door and come face to face with Han who looks like he was at boiling point. "What happened?" I ask him concerned. "Virgil fucked everything up!" He storms into the room and flops down on the unoccupied bed. He then proceeds to tell Pharux and me about the hooker him and Daric hired and they made Ben go first. After Ben was Daric and then Virgil pulled a gun on her during his turn making her flee the scene, then Virgil threatened Han and Han stormed off. I sat down next to him and he pulled me close, I hugged him and asked, "Want to play a game of poker?" He nods and I get up and shuffle the deck of cards. We play for hours then decide it's getting late and head to bed, Han slept with me instead of going back to the other room. The next day we won the Academic Decathlon finals.
