|Shaylee Love| 

“No” I snapped.

“Yes!” he exclaimed. 

“Absolutely not!” I protested.

“But Shay!” he whined. 

I rolled my eyes “You are not leaving me alone in this tent Xavier! You made me watch those movies so now you have to pay the consequences! Plus I know you and you’re going to scare me when you come back” I told him with a defiant look. Xavier frowned at me “But I have to piss” he whined giving me the puppy dog look. I groaned and flopped backwards “Fine, but I’m coming with you!” I told him.

Xavier gave me a smirk “Kinky” he said, giving me a cheeky wink. I felt myself blush “I didn’t mean it like that! Now shut up and go!” I ordered, pointing towards the tent opening. Xavier rolled his eyes “Always so demanding” he muttered. I smacked his back as I followed him “Shut up I am not demanding” I defended. Xavier raised a brow but didn’t say anything as we entered my house.

“Think you can manage waiting for me without getting too scared?” Xavier asked as he continued to walk towards the bathroom. I rolled my eyes “Just go to the bathroom Xavier” I said. He laughed and vanished into the bathroom. 

I felt my phone vibrate and I saw Trevor had texted me.

To: Shaylee

From: Trevor 

Shut up would you? I can hear you from upstairs!

I rolled my eyes, “Don’t lie Trev, just come on out I know you’re there” I spoke. I heard a groan and Trevor’s head popped up from the couch. I wasn’t expecting that and I let out a little shriek of surprise. “Hey Shay!” he said brightly and snickering at my reaction. “Why the hell are you sleeping down here?” I asked, raising a brow and clutching my chest in fright. Trevor frowned “Because the couch is much more comfortable then my bed” he muttered. I laughed and went over to give him a hug “Aw Trev, no need to lie! It’s okay if you’re worried for your baby sis!” I teased. 

Trevor rolled his eyes “Shut up Shaylee, I’m going to go upstairs now. Don’t do anything… Connor wouldn’t do” he said with a wink before hastily running up the stairs. “What was Trevor doing down here?” Xavier asked as he walked into the room. I shrugged “Keeping an eye on us I guess” I answered. Xavier smirked and walked over to me “Why? Does he think we’re going to do something… naughty?” he whispered in my ear. I rolled my eyes and pushed him away, “Don’t be stupid, we aren’t going to do anything” I said emphasizing anything.

Xavier gave me a mock shocked look “What are you insinuating Shay? By naughty I meant eating all the candy and staying up all night, should I be worried with your dirty thoughts?” he asked cheekily with fake innocence. I blushed at his words “Xavier! Shut up! You-” I cut myself off and let out a frustrated sigh before I began to walk towards the door. “Come on you loser” I said before disappearing back outside. 

It was kind of cold outside and I wrapped my arms around myself in an effort to keep warm. I wish I wore my sweater, shorts and a t-shirt aren’t really clothes for a nighttime walk to the tent. I felt a warm arm wrap around my shoulders and I found myself pressed against an even warmer body. I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his waist and relish in the warmth.

I could practically feel Xavier’s satisfied smirk. 

“Shut up” I mumbled as we got to the tent and I quickly rushed inside so I could wrap my sleeping bag over my cold body. “I didn’t say anything!” Xavier protested, but the grin on his face told me otherwise. “No but you were thinking something” I countered. Xavier looked like he was about to protest but shrugged “Caught me there” he admitted with a grin. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Teddibea, hoping he would give me warmth too.

“Now what?” I asked once Xavier settled in his sleeping bag. He shrugged his shoulders “Let’s play a game” he suggested. I gave him a pensive look “What kind of game?” I asked warily. He laughed “Don’t get your panties in a twist, it’s not a bad game. It’s just 20 questions” he said with a shrug. I released a breath “I’ve known you for my whole life, what’s there to know?” I asked. He shrugged “Hey people change” he stated. I rolled my eyes “Fine whatever you go first” I said, lying down on the floor. 

Xavier lay next to me and we faced each other. “What’s you’re favourite colour?” he asked, I couldn’t help but laugh “Seriously Zave? You already know the answer to that one but yellow of course” I said with a smile. Xavier smiled back “I knew it!” he said happily. I rolled my eyes but smiled “My turn… let’s see do you still play football?” I asked curiously.

Xavier gave me a smirk “Course, I was the captain and quarterback back at my old school.” He bragged. “Always the modest one…” I replied sarcastically. “Don’t deny it, you’re impressed” he said with a smirk. I shook my head and rolled my eyes, of course I was impressed but I wasn’t going to let him know that. So instead I said “Whatever helps you sleep player.” 

Xavier smirked and said “As long as you're next to me, I'll sleep fine. Now have you ever gotten a detention?” he asked. I blushed at the question and nodded my head slightly ashamed but ignored his sleeping comment. I have only ever gotten detention once and in my defense the day before I had pulled an all nighter studying for a test only to find out that I mixed up the dates and the test was actually the week after.

To say I was cranky would be an understatement. 

“What did you do? Forget to do your homework?” he teased. I rolled my eyes “No, I always do my homework” I said before realizing how stupid that sounded. Xavier smirked and I blushed “Always the goody goody aren’t you Shay?” Xavier asked with a wink. I playfully shoved him “Shut up loser” I retorted. He laughed “But seriously Shay what did you do?” he asked.

“Ah, ah, ah my turn to ask a question” I reminded him. Xavier pouted “What? But you have to tell me!” he whined. I laughed “Ask me when it’s you’re turn” I said. He gave me a glare before nodding “Fine” he muttered. I grinned “So my question for you is… um… what is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?” I asked. 

Xavier gave me a look “Seriously? I am much too amazing to have any embarrassing moment” he told me cockily. I rolled my eyes and scoffed “You are so conceited, just fess up and I’ll tell let you ask 2 questions instead of one next time” I offered. Xavier grinned “Sorry kitten but I don’t have an embarrassing moment.” He said again. I rolled my eyes “Whatever, I don’t feel like arguing with you right now.” I muttered

Xavier grinned “My turn!” he practically sang. “So Shaybear what did you do that was so ‘bad’” he asked, putting air quotes around bad. I rolled my eyes, “It actually wasn’t that bad, I pulled an all nighter one night studying for a test but when I got to school I found out the test was actually next week. So I wasn’t in the best of moves and the teacher felt like it would be a great day to pick on me so I may or may not have talked back and I may or may not have called the teacher a… um… erm… dick wad by accident” I explained as a blush rose on my face. 

Xavier stared at me for a moment before he busted out laughing. I cracked a smile as he reached his arms out to bring me in for a hug, we were lying down so it should have been awkward. But to be honest it really wasn’t, I liked having Xavier’s arms around me, I liked the warmth his body radiated, I liked how his chest rumbled as he laughed and I liked the way my body fit against his like we were the perfect puzzle pieces.

Not that I would ever admit that out loud. 

“I am very proud of you princess! Who knew that you of all people could say that to a teacher?” he said with awe and I looked up to see a proud smirk on his face. I blushed and didn’t say anything, I liked the look he was giving me right now. The smile he was giving me made him look even more attractive and I felt some sort of pride knowing I was the one that made him smile like that.

We continued to laugh for a moment before we eventually calmed down. I was still in Xavier’s arms so I started to squirm to get out of them. Xavier’s grip tightened “Just stay here please Shay” he whispered. I froze mid-squirm, not knowing what the hell to say. Should I stay here? Or should I go back to my spot. I looked up and saw he was giving me an irresistible look. All I wanted to do was reach up and press my lips against his while- 

STOP RIGHT THERE SHAYLEE! Have you forgotten the bet? No kissing Xavier. I internally chastised myself.

I sighed “Please let me go Zave” I muttered knowing that if I stayed here any longer I would be losing the bet. Xavier let out a sigh and reluctantly let me go. I rolled over so there was a bit of space between our heads. “Fine, if you really want to stay over there all by yourself. Don’t come crawling to me if some mass murder comes and kills you” he said with a wicked look. I gave him a look “The hell are you talking about?” I asked.

Xavier smirked “I’m just saying, don’t you remember Wrong Turn? Or what if the grudge comes after you next” he asked, a grin forming on his face when remembrance dawned on me. I gulped “But that only happened in a movie, plus they were in a forest!” I pointed out. Xavier let out a dramatic sigh “Whatever you say Shay” he said sarcastically. “I was just offering to protect you- wait did you hear that?” he asked, looking around the tent. 

I froze and panic began to rise within me, I quickly tried to force it back down. Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of scaring me. I was one of those people who got scared really easily and Xavier knew that.  “Sh-sh-shut up” I stuttered giving him a glare.

Of course right now the weather decided it wanted to be an absolute bitch and it started to rain… hard. 

I groaned as Xavier gave me a look “Sweetheart I’m serious, I heard something” he told me looking absolutely serious. I clutched my bear closer to me “Stop scaring me!” I muttered. Xavier stretched his arms out and rested them behind his head and gave me a casual look “Hey I’m just speaking the truth sweetheart, I just want you to feel safe” he said with a grin. I rolled my eyes, what a dumb ass.

The wind picked up and I yelped when the rain hit the tent a little bit harsher. Well I was now officially scared. I gave Xavier a harsh glare while gave me a grin “Princess did you hear that? I think some one or something is out there…” he teased. I closed my eyes “Xavier shut up before I punch you” I stated. He let out a laugh but didn’t respond. 

These next events happened in a blink of an eye.

Something moved outside and hit the tent on my side, so of course me being my stupid self shrieked and I’m guessing you know what I did. 

Yup I jumped right onto Xavier.

I buried my face into his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck. Instantly his arms encircled my waist. I sighed and just lay there, unmoving. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, it always happened whenever we had a sleepover. 

“You’re such a jerk, I bet you had something to do with that” I muttered. Xavier let out a low chuckle “Kitten I can tell you right now that I had absolutely nothing to do with that but I sure as hell am glad that it did” he told me. I looked up and saw he was giving me a teasing smile, I rolled my eyes and unwrapped my arms from his neck and turned so we were spooning.

He kept his hands firmly on my waist as I reached for Teddibea. Xavier then wrapped the sleeping bag over us and I unconsciously snuggled into his chest. I was beyond tired and all I wanted to do at the moment was sleep. I smiled when I felt Xavier stroke my hair “I knew you would end up here sooner or later” he murmured. I rolled my eyes “I’m only here because I’m scared, which is your fault by the way” I reminded him tiredly. 

I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled “Whatever you say princess, just shut up and sleep” he muttered back. All I did was nod my head, I felt Xavier move and a second later I felt his warm lips connect with my forehead for a brief moment. I smiled lightly when he turned the lanterns off, we were plunged into darkness while the rain beat the tent. Usually I would usually be scared crapless but with Zave’s arms around me and his warm body clutching mine, but to be honest I was feeling the absolute opposite.

I was supposed to hate this guy, not give into him. But I found that no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t, but still I knew that if I was thinking straight and my mind wasn’t clouded with sleep then I would have never said the next words that came out of my mouth. 

“I missed you Zavey”

“I missed you too Shaylee bear, I missed you too” 

That was the last thing I heard before I succumbed to sleep.

* * * * * *

When I woke up I felt warm and absolutely content. I cracked my eyes open and saw I was face to face with a very bare (and very sexy) male chest. I let out a little squeak of surprise and I hear a chuckle, that wasn’t mine, fill the room. I look up and find myself looking into Xavier’s amused green eyes. I blushed when I realized the position we were in. I was still wrapped, tightly might I add, in Xavier’s arms. My hands were pressed against his chest and our legs had somehow intertwined during the night. There was almost no space between the two of us, even Teddibea had somehow gotten thrown from my arms and was somewhere in the tent. 

We were so close that I could count every barely there freckle on his face.

“Uh…” I stuttered not really knowing what to say. Xavier smiled a real smile. Not a smirk but a full blown smile, “Just enjoy the quiet Shay. It’s still early now go back to sleep” he murmured before closing his eyes. I stared at his face for a moment and I couldn’t help but smile, last night was one of the best sleeps I had ever had. I couldn’t help but listen to Xavier’s heartbeat as it began to lull me to sleep. I began to snuggle closer to his warm body and my eyes fell shut.

I really didn’t want to leave this position.

* * * * * *

Xavier and I eventually woke up a little bit later, but we didn’t get up. Not right away anyway, right now we were just talking. There was no real topic to the conversation we were just talking about anything that happened to pop up.

And before you ask, yes I was still cuddled with him. But in my defense it was still raining outside and he was the only warm thing in the tent okay? Don’t give me a look like you don’t believe me! It’s true I was only here for the warmth! No other reason! 

…Okay so maybe I am lying just a little bit…

ANYWAYS! Back to the conversation. 

“It’s a great movie!” I exclaimed.

“It’s a stupid chick flick” he stated flatly. I shook my head in disappointment “Just for that I am going to force you to watch it with me!” I announced. Xavier groaned “No” he muttered childishly, I laughed “Too bad Zave, I watch movies with you so you need to watch them with me” I pointed out. 

“Anything but the Notebook, please!” he pleaded. I laughed and poked his nose “Fine, Titanic will work too” I suggested. Xavier gave me a flat look “I don’t think so princess, I would rather-”

But he was cut off by my cell phone going off. 

I scrambled out if his arms and reached for my phone. “Hello?” I muttered a little breathlessly, I had to dig through all my crap to find it.

“Shaylee! Why aren’t you in the house yet? It’s already… 1:30pm! What are you and Xavier doing in there! It better not be anything bad!” Trevor’s angry voice filtered out. I groaned and blushed “TREVOR! We are not doing anything ‘bad’ just talking, and if you hadn’t noticed it’s raining outside. I don’t really fancy taking a walk and getting soaked, even if it is only to the house” I told him. 

I hear Trevor grunt “Why didn’t you bring an umbrella then?” he asked. I rolled my eyes “I didn’t know it was going to rain dad” I said sarcastically and Xavier gave me an amused look, I glared at him and through a skittle at his face. Xavier grinned and caught it in his mouth, and mine popped open. How the hell did he do that?

“Do that again Shay!” Xavier called. 

I rolled my eyes “That was just a lucky shot!” I exclaimed.

Xavier raised a brow “Do it again Shay, just like before” he demanded. I grabbed a skittle and threw it again and again he caught. I laughed when he gave me a cocky expression, “Don’t get to cocky now, even I can do that to” I lied. Of course I can’t do that! I would totally miss. 

Xavier smirked “Okay give me the bag then kitten” he said, holding out his hand. I tossed the bag to him and of course he caught it perfectly. “Kay bye Trevor, we’ll come in after it rains. Love you!” I quickly said before hanging up the phone.

I shot Xavier a grin “Kay I’m ready, do it now!” I demanded. Xavier laughed and grabbed a red skittle “On the count of three, okay princess?” he asked. I nodded my head and he began to count. 

“One…”

“Two…" 

“Three!”

Once he said three the skittle flew through the air and in my direction. I opened my mouth and tried to get in front of the well thrown skittle, but instead of hitting my mouth they skittle landed somewhere else. Of course fate hated me and couldn’t let me have this one victory, the skittle poked me in the eye. 

Yup you read that right, I Shaylee Love just got poked in the eye with a red skittle. That is what you call skill.

A wide grin spread across Xavier’s face and he started to laugh hysterically while I clutched my injured eye. “You did that on purpose!!” I accused as my eye started to water. Xavier laughed harder “It’s all luck kitten” he said in between laughs. I pouted “Would just come and check it out?” I huffed. Xavier chuckled one last time before clambering over to me. 

His hand firmly grasped my chin and I tried to ignore the tingles that were spreading from that single touch. “Open your eye princess” he murmured, they playful air evaporated and a slightly more serious one entered. Slowly, I complied with his request, slightly cursing when a tear fell from my eye. Stupid eyes watering when they get hurt, makes me look like I’m crying when I’m not.

“Looks okay to me” he murmured as he leaned closer to see. “Are you sure?” I mumbled, feeling the red blush rise on my cheeks, yet I didn’t break eye contact. 

“Close your eyes Shay” he whispered. Instead of protesting I closed my eyes, there was a moment of silence before I felt his lips on the outside of my eye. He kissed my eye briefly before pulling away. I opened my eyes in shock and another blush adorned my face, “All better” he whispered. I smiled, just like old times I thought.

“Thank you” I whispered before I reached up and kissed him on the cheek.
