Rule 7

Rule 7 (As per usual, not proofread so please ignore any errors, they will be fixed on the final edit).

            I was woken up in the morning by the feeling of a shirt landing on my face. I jumped and twisted, squinting in the light. Ash was going through the chest of drawers and grunting under his breath. I took my time admiring his body in just his jogger bottoms before throwing the shirt back at him.

            "What are you doing?" I asked groggily.

            "Looking for my jacket," he replied, not looking up from his piles of clothing.

            "Fancy looking for it a little quieter?" I grumbled. Ash straightened and shot me a look, picking up the pillow and battering my head with it.

            "You have 'college' remember?" I cursed under my breath and pushed myself to my feet. After running my hands down my face, I started to make my way to the bathroom. Ash, however, had other ideas and positioned himself into my path

            "Get out of the way. I have college, remember?" I mimicked and he smirked, glancing down at my baggy shirt and trousers.

            "Yeah, I know, I'm your ride." I frowned and attempted to look over his shoulder.

            "What about Dev? I thought I was going to the garage with him?" I asked. Ash shook his head and rested his shoulder on the doorway.

            "No, Dev is driving Mel to the convention thing and you're coming to the practice tracks with me," he explained. I rolled my eyes and started to shove him out of the way. As soon as my hand touched his warm, soft chest, I drew it back and crossed my arms over my chest.

            "Move."

            "As you wish, your majesty," he teased.

            I'd managed to get myself ready in a pair of jeans and a large jumper before grabbing a breakfast bar from the fridge.

            Melinda soon sauntered in to the living room, a skin tight blue dress on show. Ash walked in after she did and smirked, looking her up and down. Rolling my eyes, I shoved past him and went back into my room to grab my mascara.

            Ash and I had to leave before the other two and we had another argument about the motorbike. It didn't take me long to work out that I'd either have to walk 10 miles to get there, or stay standing on the pavement outside the building when my sister came out, effectively proving that I'd flunked out of college.
