Chapter 6: Busted

We stopped the car to eat drive-thru food. 

"You do know that Axel will murder me now, right?" Blaze nervously tells me. 

"Who cares?"

"Um, me! I'm doing to die, don't you care for me, Cat?"

"I do, even after that fun and scary shit you put me through. I meant I didn't care cause I'll cover for you anyways."

"You'd do that for me?"

"Yeah, who else would complete my list with me?" I smile.

"Anais?" he acted innocent.

"No, you. You're dumb enough to get into a police chase with me" I laugh. After a while, I notice that he was quiet, just looking at me. 

"What? Is there something on my face?" I ask, still smiling.

"Yup, hold still" he said, taking a picture of me. 

"What was that for? Delete that!" I shout while reaching for his phone. 

"No way! You looked so beautiful." I shut my mouth, unable to reply. "Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Aside from my bestfriend, brother and dad?" I ask and he nods. 

"Noone" I shrug, finishing my burger.

"Then let me be the first to say it" he smiles, turning the engine on. Soon enough I was  back home at 4 am

As soon as I opened the door, we were greeted with a fuming Axel. If you focus hard enough you could see the smoke coming out of his ears. 

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" he growls. 

"4 am?"

"Where have you been?!" he turns to look at Blaze. "What did you do to her?!"

"I did nothing! I swear!"Blaze lifted his hands in defeat. 

"I think you should go to sleep, Axel" I push him away. "I'm alive, aren't I? You can go and rest now"

"But-"

"No buts, go to sleep" I groan while he mumbles stuff, heading upstairs. "And as for you, you should sleep over" I turned to look at Blaze. 

"I'll take the couch then"

"I have an extra mattress in my room"

"Why?"

"I set it up whenever I have sleepovers with Anais." I laugh, heading upstairs. 

We head upstairs, I go straight into the bathroom to change clothes, changing into my pajamas--onesie. I head back into the room, ready to jump into bed. 

If only I hadn't seen Blaze shirtless. 

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I said and immediately close the door. 

"You can come back in" I hear him chuckle. I opened the door, slowly, and went inside, jumping into bed. "What are you wearing?"

"An onesie, don't judge me" I pout at him. 

"You look adorable" he says as he pinches my cheeks.

"Oww! Stop!" I pout again. Then he starts tickling me. 

"Oh, so you're ticklish?" he grins evilly. 

"Blaze, stop!" I laugh uncontrollably.

"I don't want to" he says while he keeps going. We lost balance and he was soon tickling me on the mattress. 

"W-Wait, stop!" I said, this time he does and I catch my breath and looked up at him. I notice what was happening and the intimate position we were in. I felt my cheeks flush. 

"S-Sorry" he stutters, getting off. "We should sleep, it's really late"

"Yeah," I agree, getting up and climbing onto my bed. 

-*-

After tossing and turning in bed, I finally concluded,

I can't sleep. Don't blame me, it was cold as hell in my room. 

I groaned and peeked if Blaze was awake, he looked sound asleep. I wonder if I could sleep better if I warm. It wouldn't hurt to cuddle, right? 

We aren't doing the dirty so it's not bad right? 

After debating in my head, I decided to go down to the mattress, dragging my blanket with me and using Blaze's blanket too. I moved my body closer to him and sigh in relief, finally feeling warm. 

In an instant, I felt sleepy. 

"I knew you loved me" I hear Blaze whisper next to me. 

Busted. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was just really cold" I said as I start getting up. 

"No, stay. It was so cold here," he stops me and wrapped his arm around me. 

I blushed. He had his arm around me and he pulled me closer. Am I being weird to find this comfortable?

My train of thoughts kept going until I fell asleep in his arms. 

-*-

I woke up, feeling like it was the best sleep I've ever had. I looked around, confused of why I was on the floor. I looked to my right and saw Blaze. 

What I did?

I pushed him and screamed, climbing onto my bed. 

"What the crap?" he cussed, rubbing his eyes. 

The events of last night, or this morning rather, went back to me. From the rave, the graffiti and the car chase to the cuddling. 

"I'm so sorry!" I shout, running to him and plopping down next to him. "Does it hurt?"

"Nah" he laughed. "You hit like a girl"

"Maybe because I am one" I frown. 

"Sis what's wrong?" my brother come into the room. As soon as his eyes landed on Blaze, his mood switched. "What the fuck are you doing here?" 

"I asked him to stay over since it was late" I answered for him. 

My brother rolled his eyes and closed the door, but not before shouting, "You better get down here for breakfast or else"

I looked at Blaze and he looked back at me, and after seconds of silence, we burst out laughing. 

"You should smile more often, it looks better than your smirks" I point out. 

"But you love my smirk" he pouts. 

"It's contagious. I call it Germasmirk."

"I think Smirk-itis would sound better."

Again, we laugh. We made our way downstairs and ate cereal. Just plain cereal. 

"Should we do the jigsaw thing today" Blaze suggested. 

"Yeah, I think yesterday's excitement is enough, so yeah. Let's solve the jigsaw today. Axel, want to join us?" I turned to my brother. 

"Sure, why not. I need to watch Blaze anyways"

"Why me?" Blaze whines. 

"Because you always flirt with my sister" 

"You have a point" 

I stood up and let the two argue some more. I search the closet where we put games in for game night and found a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. 

I went back and poured the pieces onto the table, grinning at the both of them. 

"Let's finish this" Blaze exclaim. 

-*-

"10 more pieces to go!" I shout, feeling proud. 

"Don't jinx it, Sis" 

"She's the lucky charm here, you're going to be the one who jinxes it. "

"You better shut up, Weston" 

"Yes sir!"

And so, we finish the puzzle and cross another thing off of my list. 

19 to go..
