Chapter 21

I wake up feeling someone playing with my hair and I nearly scream. Instead I elbow whoever it was behind me only to hear a groan.

"Ow that was my shoulder."

"Oh it's you"

"Who else would it be?!" Stefan says, rubbing his shoulder.

"Sorry"

"Anyways, miss sleepy-head," he says flicking my hair at my face to which I scowl. "You missed the little robot telling us that our crew is coming to" he uses finger quotes and makes his voice sound posh and high-pitch "make us suitable for the public eye" I laugh at this and he just pats me on the shoulder.

"Although, we are going to look like the power-couple of the millennium."

"Couple?"

"Aww, come on Anna-Banana, you know you wanna!"

"No. I don't" I say in the flattest voice possible. Steff scowls at me.

"Well too bad. It'll make it look cute. We'll have an entire romantic story about it and we'll gain so much support from the public eye!" I hate to admit it, but he has a good point.

"Ugh fine."

"Great. I can see it now, STEF-ASIA win's the tournois"

"Okay. Sure, Steff" I can feel my stomach start to turn as the subject of the tournois comes up again... It must show on my face by how Steff puts his arm around me and draws me to his chest, hugging me.

"Don't worry angel-face. I won't let anything hurt you."

"You can't promise that Stefan. One of us is bound to get—"

He cuts me off by spinning me around and pressing his lips to mine.

"I'd honestly rather not think of that right now" he whispers gently against my lips

"Okay." I reply, smiling against his lips. "Angel-face?" I ask, changing the subject and giving us both the break from the tension that we so desperately need.

"Would you rather I call you morning breath?" He says smiling against my lips and I pull away.

"I was kidding! Anna, come back!" He says as I get up off the bed.

"No more kisses for you!" I grin, seeing his pout, before shutting the bathroom door, against all his protests.

And so we're back to our joking banter once again.

A/N

Hey Guys,

Extra chapter. It's 1am. Just met an actual dude named Stefan. He got Wattpad. It's cool. I'm hella tired and I'm at a party and have nothing to do except update, so I guess you guys should be happy. I'm tired but I can't sleep nor think of a better author's note. This chapter was pre-written but I'm too tired to edit it so I apologize for any mistakes or grammatical errors. :)

Thanks for reading!
