Love You So: PART TWENTY FOUR

My eyes fluttered open, and I looked down at my bare arms and under the sheets to reveal that I was, in fact, only wearing my underwear. I turned my head to see who it was lying next to me and it was Nate with his shirt off. I struggled to remember what had happened last night, but as I did so I looked across at my love. His eyes were shut and he looked peaceful. The sunlight was shining on a patch on the floor, illuminating his face indirectly. His strong chest muscles rose and fell with his steady breathing, slow and deep. I loved him. I rested my head on my hand, with my elbow positioned on the soft mattress, and I watched him for a while. Before I knew how long I'd been resting there, one of his eyes opened and he chuckled, rubbing his eyes with one hand, and ruffling his hair a little. He looked up at me, and smiled. He leaned up and pecked me on the lips.
"Morning gorgeous" he said as he rested his head back down, "don't let me disturb your staring session" he added with a wink. I pushed him playfully on the chest, before resting my head on it. It was 6am, so we had plenty of time to get to school for out 2pm exam; why not enjoy this moment a little? As he put his arm round my shoulder, holding me closer to him, both of our breathing stopped.
Was that a noise from outside? I looked up at him, and decided that I should go and look. It was my house after all, so I threw on my white silk dressing gown, and opened the door, being careful to close it so no one could see Nate inside.
Mollie was here. My heart stopped beating for a split second. What was I going to say?
"Morning, T!" she said, bounding over with a mug in her hands, full of the green tea I had every morning.
"Thanks" I said, taking the mug and sipping at the scalding liquid. "What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Don't you remember? I stayed over last night after the whole incident we had." she said.
Oh god. Had she seen Nate and I? Had she seen him sleep in my bed?
"Oh right, yeah I think I'm starting to remember now. Yeah, crazy evening wasn't it?" I said, leading her into the living room to sit down as far away from my bedroom door as possible.
"T, I know he's in there." she said, with an expressionless face.
Oh god. What do I say now?
"Don't worry - we'd split up, and it was always going to happen. I don't hate you!" she laughed, looking at my pale face, and noticing my fevered breathing.
"Oh, okay. I'm really sorry M, I should have told you as soon as I came through. I just-"
"T, it's fine! Honest! As long as you two haven't been doing this behind my back when we were together?"
"No no of course not!" I said, feeling my cheeks go red. "Right, well I'm going to wake him if that's okay? Then I'll probably jump in the shower?"
"Sure! Remember to take him in with you" she winked at me, and laughed.
"Take me where?" he said, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. I elbowed him gently in the stomach, and laughed awkwardly at Mollie.
"I don't mind honestly, you two get up to whatever you want, it is your house!" she said, putting her feet up on the couch. "Go on, off you go!" she said, dismissing us from the room.
He held my hand, and lead me back into the bedroom, where he kissed me. Smiling at me, and reminding me that we could tell everyone we were together now. Isabelle had nothing left to blackmail me with, and Mollie and I were fine. It was perfect, and a huge weight off my shoulders. I kissed him more, allowing my hands to roam around his messy hair, and tipping my head back when he started to kiss his neck. His shirt was still off, so I started to kiss his shoulders, along his collar bone, which jutted out past his muscles, and down his chest.
Sure, I felt a little guilty about this, especially as his ex girlfriend was three rooms away, but she was okay with it, right?
He walked over to the bed and lay down. I crawled on top of him, on all fours, shedding my dressing gown as I went, and started kissing him again, allowing him to stroke my shoulder blades and my back, tracing my spine. As he flipped me over and we switched positions, the door opened, to reveal the third shock guest of the past 24 hours.
