James Pierce
My coco is sleeping in Thalia' room, she stayed over at our place after watching movies the whole day, but is sleeping in Thalia's room, I'm so annoyed, why did mom have to clear out all those storage boxes in Thalia's room at least then, Collette could have slept in my room, actually she wouldn't have, now that my mom knows we are dating she would never let me and her sleep in the same room. it's killing me that she's not next to me right now, and I know I can't do anything with her, cuz well, my parents room is just downstairs and I definitely do not want to get caught and be embarrassed in front of everybody but at least I can kiss her and hold her and sleep with her in my arms. I really cannot sleep like this, alone and thinking of her. Im so glad we sorted our fight, I had no idea what to say to her, after she what she told me in London and i felt really terrible that all of the past memories were still in her head, so i thought it was best to give her some time to figure shit out. And although that time was only 2 days it felt like 2 centuries to me, but that doesn't matter anymore because it's all over now and we've made up. And i need to make up for being away from her for the past two days by being with her all the time. So I decide to go to Thalia's room, and just kidnap Collette.
When I gently push the door open, I realise that Thalia is still awake and talking to someone on call, probably Will and my poor baby is already asleep, she must have been exhausted. Thalia notices me and flinches, "what are you doing here?" She whisper screams
"I'm kidnapping my girlfriend" I whisper back
"Your girlfriend?" Thalia says mockingly and gestures me to do whatever. And so, I do,
I carefully turn her over, put one hand below her waist and one hand below her knees and lift her up, really slowly, making sure her head doesn't fall, and she doesn't wake up. I take her to my room and put her on my bed, and finally she's with me, she's still fast asleep, but at least she's in my custody now, and I can finally sleep with her at my side. I lie down next to her put her head on one of my arm and wrap the other around her waist inside her oversized T-shirt. She wakes up for like a second, wraps her hands around my neck and falls asleep again. This is probably what heaven feels like, a warm embrace of my angel and her lily smelling hair falling on my face, I don't ever want to let go. I fall asleep holding her in my arms, and don't wake up until my alarm wakes me in the morning. I jolt awake at the sound of the alarm and wake up Collette too.
"Mm" she says
"Shhh, I say, go back to sleep, it's still early"
"Mm" she opens her eyes, looks at me and smiles and then scrunches her eyebrows in confusion, "how are you-" she looks around the room, "how am I- am I dreaming?" She says sleepily
"No sweetheart, you're in my room"
"But I was, I was with Thalia"
"Ya but I got you here, I couldn't sleep without you so kidnapped you"
She laughs and hugs me and we fall asleep again.
When i wake up later, i see her standing near my window, looking outside.
"I hate that damn window" i say
She turns back, "huh? Why?"
"Because if it weren't for that window, I wouldn't ever have hated you, and i'd probably have asked you out ages ago, like even before we shifted to New Zealand"
"What?" She laughs, "you hated me when we were young, you have ALWAYS hated me!"
"No I haven't!, whoever told you that?"
"Nobody needed to tell me, you used to bully me all the time!"
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did!" She exclaims, "remember that day you made me do you your homework for you? And i was already having such a bad day, i'd just fought with Lia and then you just pulled me away and took me to your room and made me do YOUR homework!"
"I didn't make you do my homework, i was with you, it was a combined effort, actually mostly just my effort, all you did was get every single answer wrong and then i did the whole thing again"
"What are you talking about? It took me two hours to get that done and you were talking to me the whole time, I couldn't even concentrate"
"You really think any sane 12 year old would get their math done by a 9 year old?"
"No… then why'd you do it?"
"Because, i heard your entire fight with Thalia, and she was being so unreasonable, and you were about to cry and I didn't want you to, so i pulled you away and made you do really hard math so that you'd be distracted while I talked some sense into her, dont you remember her coming and apologising later?"
"I do…She did… you did that? For me? Why?"
"Because…" i get out of bed and walk toward her, then i wrap my hands around her and say, "you were really precious and i wanted to protect you"
"No I don't believe you" she says and turns around to face me, "what about the time you hid my bicycle and I couldn't go to Stephanie's birthday party"
"Well Stephanie was bitch and I didn't want you to be in her vicinity, and I told you not to go, but you still wouldn't listen, so I had to take tough measures"
"She was not a bitch, she was really nice to Thalia too, you didn't stop Thalia from going to the party!"
"Yea that's because, Thalia can fend for herself and Steph wanted to get to me so she wouldn't do anything to Thalia but that's exactly why she could have done things to you"
"What ? I did not get a word of that! What things?" She pushes away from me but I pull her close again, "and did you just say 'steph'?"
"Uhh no, you heard me wrong, I said Stephenie bitch"
"No you didn't… oh my god I remember, you two did have a thing"
"We didn't have a thing, she wanted to"
"Wait but why would she have a problem with me?"
"Because she thought of you as competition"
"Why would she think that?"
"Babe, how slow are you? I just told you, it was very very obvious that I liked you back then too"
"I just can't seem to comprehend-" the door of my room swings open and Collette swiftly takes my hands off of her and pushes me away.
Thalia enters with one hand covering her eyes, "hope everyone's decent"
Collette sighs, "thank god, it's just you"
Thalia takes her hand off her eyes and closes the door behind her, "uh huh, you should be thanking god it's just me, mom was this close to coming in here, and then I remembered that you were here and told her I would wake James up"
"Thank you darling" coco says to her
"You've never called me darling!" I say offended but the two of them just ignore me.
"I just saved your asses" Thalia says looking at me, "if mom found out what you two were doing in here, she would chop you up into tiny little pieces and then roast you up for dinner."
"We didn't do anything, literally, didn't even kiss!" I say
"Forget that, lia, was Stephanie a bitch?" Collette asks
"Who's Stephanie?"
"oh you know, the one in school, our senior"
"Ohhhh James' Stephanie… wow I had totally forgotten about her" Thalia says
"I'm sorry but did you just say, James' Stephanie?" Coco asks
"Ya why did you say that? We had nothing to do with each other" I explain
"Oh please, you two totally had a thing!" Thalia says, can she not read the room, worst sister ever! Collette folds her hands and then stares at me.
"So she was not a bitch, and had a thing with James?" Collette confirms
"Oh no she was totally a bitch! I hated her, mostly because she hated you"
"See?" I say
"She hated me?"
"Uh huh, I remember that time at her birthday party, I was so glad you didn't show up, she was bitching about you so much"
"See I told you!" I add
"But why would she hate me? I'm nice!" Coco says in the cutest possible way and starts sulking and I just want to give her a big hug and kiss her but before I can , Thalia comes in between us and hugs her, "aww you are babe, I think she just hated you cuz she was jealous"
"Jealous of what?"
"Well, James always gave you special privileges and she wanted him to give her all that attention"
"What priveleges? What do you mean? He always hated me!" Coco exclaims and I want to defend myself but Thalia seems to be doing a better job at that.
"No he didn't, do you know the amount of times he's yelled at me because I wasn't being a 'good friend' to you! And I was!"
"No you were not! You were being stubborn and you even made her cry!"
"Like you haven't?"
"Don't you go there again"
"You started it!"
"Ok ok stop!" Coco comes in between Thalia and I, she turns to Thalia, "so you're saying James… used to… like?…or kinda.. like me?"
"Like is an understatement, he was obsessed with you, literally worshipped you"
"Don't exaggerate!" I twist coco so she's facing me, "babe, I've always had a thing for you, why can you seem to comprehend that?"
"Uh. I… um.. it's just… really?" Coco stutters
"Yes really" I confirm
"Umm ok I kinda feel like this is leading to a kiss, and that would be disgusting so I'm going down, you guys better show up in 3 minutes" Thalia says and leaves, closing the door.
I lean in to kiss my girlfriend, but she turns her head, "I haven't brushed yet" she mumbles covering her mouth.
I take her hand off, and whisper, 1 nano meter away from her lips, "I really don't care" then I kiss her and use up all my 3 minutes."
