I wake up the next day feeling strong arms hugging my waist. I start to panic when a wave of a familiar cologne fills my nose. I relax and look at the clock.
FUCK.
It's Monday. I look over to the clock on the night stand which says 6:45. I try to get up when his arms tighten around my body. I lay there for a moment admiring his sleeping face. When I try to get up again he doesn't budge so I kiss him. Immediately he responds to my kiss trying to make it deeper. I smirk against his lips and pull away.
"I could get used to waking up like that"Chase says
"Sorry to ruin your little moment but we have school and I need to get ready"
"Yea yea I know." He says
He finally lets me go with a final kiss and I head over to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and let it heat up before I get in. I wash my body and move on to my hair. I tale no longer than 10 minutes in the shower and get out. I realize I don't have any clothes here so I wrap a towel around my body and open the door.
"Chase I don't have anything to wear" I say as I go into his room.
"You can borrow a shirt."
"Thanks.." I say thinking about what to wear as bottoms and shoes.
I remember that I got clothes from my house before I escaped.
"Chase can you get my bag from your car?"
"Yea . One minute" he responds
I wait for him to come back with my bag. I look around the room and notice a photo album on his shelf. Curiosity takes over and I walk to his shelf reaching for the album. I open it and look at the pictures of a cute little boy with the biggest smile in the world. He is sitting in a lady's lap. His mom. She is beautiful and has the same blue eyes as Chase. I turn the pages and see more photos of them together. I begin to wonder about his dad. Why isn't he in any of the pictures? I keep turning the pages and Chase walks in. He looks at me and them shifts his eyes to the album in my hands. His eyes darken and he drops my bag on the floor. I put the album back in its place and walk over to him.
My hands reach for his face and I cup his cheeks. I look into his eyes and see that they are becoming soft and caring. He turns his face so it's facing me and kisses me. So many emotions are let out by this kiss. Anger...care...love. I feel everything. Chase pours all his emotions into it and I know what he feels.
I like this about Chase. He isn't much of an open person but he lets me know how he feels in different ways. He tries to include me in everything and even in his weakest points, he shows strength.
We pull away and stare into eachothers eyes.
"I love you Marley" he says suddenly. Honestly I don't know how to respond. I like him I really do but I don't know how to love someone.
"It's okay.. I'll get you to love me" He says sadness clear in his eyes.
He walks to the bathroom and I hear the water running. I pull out some plain black leggings and I put the shirt Chase gave me. I get black socks and put on my vans.
I glance at the clock and it reads 7:20. School starts at 8:20 so we have an hour. I put my hair up in a high ponytail and pull out some hair to add a more messy look. I check myself in the mirror. After approving my appearance I walk downstairs and decide to make breakfast.
I make eggs with bacon and toast. I hear Chase come down the stairs and get plates. I put them down on the little island and get some OJ. I look over to Chase and take in his appearance.
DAMN! He looks sexy as fuck. He is wearing black skinny jeans with a white shirt and some black vans. The shirt makes his torso looked toned and it fits him perfectly. He turns around to look at me.
"Close your mouth Marley"
I blush a deep shade of red and look away. I feel hands wrap around me.
"Im all yours baby" He whispers into my ear making me shiver. He knows the effects he has on my because he starts to rub circles on my stomach.
"We need to go Chase. I don't want to be late to school." I say
"I know.. we will leave in 5" he tells me and begins to eat his food
"This tastes really good babe. I didnt know you can cook"
"This isnt hard but yea.. I took a cooking class to get away from my parents"
He continues eating and puts the plate in the sink.
+++++
Chase starts the car and drives to school. He grabs my hand and I turn up the radio. The song Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood begin to play.
All I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand in California with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves off my sweater
Lets have an adventure
Heads in the clouds but my gravitys centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high waisted shorts
Oh
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirts, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I really wanna tell you about no
Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides our minds
To move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watched your face
Put my finger on your tongue
Cos you love the taste yeah
These hearts adore
All of the other beats heart is for
Inside this place is warm
Outside it starts to pour
Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I really wanna tell you about
No no
Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
Cos it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now
So let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
I keep singing until the song is over. I look over to Chase to see his face in shock. I feel embarassed all of a sudden and look out the window.
"Wow Marley you sing amazing"
"Stop lying"
"Im not though. I never heard anything like it."
"Thanks babe"
"Any other talents you wanna tell me about?"
"You'll find out" I say as we arrive at school.
We get out of the car and Chase comes over to me to hold my hand. I fell everybody staring.
This is gonna be an interesting day I think to myself as we head into school hand in hand.
