better than this

Blair

"Ok I should get going." I say after two movies end. Hunter sighs and looks at me longingly. "It's 1AM Blair. It's dark outside. You should just stay over." He says and I laugh. "I live next door it's not like anything can happen to me in thirty seconds." I say to him and he frowns. "Please stay? Pleeeeaaassseee." He begs me and I sigh. "I can't stay over night." I whisper but make no actions to move from lying on his chest. I yawn loudly and he strokes my hair. "Stop that. I'll fall asleep." I say and he continues doing it. "Hunter..." I warn sleepily and he laughs and stops eventually. "You're exhausted Blair. Just stay." He says and I pick up my phone from my side and text my mum.

Me: Hi mum I never realised the time and I'm absolutely exhausted. Could I sleep at Hunters tonight? I promise to stay away and sleep in a separate room.

Mum: Hmmm. Yes I guess so but you have to come back in the morning. And text me before you go to sleep.

I wait a few minutes in silence before texting her again, barely managing to hold my eyes open.

Me: That's me in bed. Hunter is sleeping in the room next door. Night xx

Mum: Okay. Sleep well love xx

I struggle to keep my eyes open as I wait for a reply and when it finally comes I switch off my phone and toss it on the floor, feeling extremely uncomfortable in my jeans. "I'm gonna need a top or something." I tell him and he sits up, pulling off his own large top. I am immediately slightly more awake as I stare at his muscles, it'll be hard to get used to this. He smiles at me and hands me the top. I stare at it in his hands for a while before finally taking it and rolling my eyes. "Where can I get changed?" I ask him and he looks at me. "In here." He says and I laugh, standing up. Might as well. I face away from him though as I pull off my own top and replace it with his, which comes almost to my knees. Jeez how big is he? I can smell scent coming from his t-shirt and inhale it, smiling. I then pull down my trousers and take off my socks before getting back into bed. I fold my clothes and leave them in a neat pile for tomorrow. "Damn it. Never got any action." He says and I smile sweetly at him. I lie down on the pillow facing him as he gets up and simply pulls down his trousers, not getting changed into anything. I avoid looking down by shifting my position and looking at the ceiling. He closes his bedroom door and lies down on his back next to me. "Good night." I say to him and hear him frowning as he replies. "Are you not going to snuggle?" He asks and when I look at his face, lit up by his lamp, I almost laugh. He looks absolutely adorable as he looks longingly into my eyes. He holds out his arms and I shift over in the bed to lie at his side, wrapping my arms around his torso and resting my head on his bare chest. "I can't believe you just said snuggle..." I joke sleepily and he laughs from above me. "Me either. You do strange things to me nerves." He says and I blush as he leans over slightly to turn off the lamp. "Night night." I say and yawn, he starts stroking my hair again. "Goodnight Blair." He says softly and I smile into his chest. I don't have time to feel bad about lying to my mum because I'm asleep in minutes.

Hunter

She wakes up before me and when I open my eyes I see her staring at my sleeping face. I grin down at her and she blushes and looks away. I close my eyes and absorb the moment, feeling extremely happy.

"Hunter!! You can't give me ten minutes to get ready when my only clothes are yesterday's jeans and one of your tops!" Blair says, frustrated as she quickly pulls one of my tops on over her bra. I managed to convince her to just wear one of my t-shirts instead of having to go back to her house. Tessa, Poppy, Zoe, Ollie, Brendan and Jack all want to hang out today and we woke up late so didn't have much time to get ready to meet them. I laugh and watch as she bundles up my plain white top, huge on her, and expertly ties it in a knot just above her belly button. I wonder how in hell she can pull off my t-shirt better than I can myself and smile as I look at her as she rolls up the sleeves, looking great. "Calm down. You look amazing." I reassure her as I come up behind her in the mirror and wrap my arms around her waist. She leans back into the crook of my neck and smiles, closing her eyes. "There you go." I say watching as she instantly relaxes in my grip. "I'm still annoyed at you. But slightly less. And I'm going to need access to your mums perfumes." She says and I laugh quietly into her ear. "Whatever you want, babe." I say and feel her cheeks flush against my own. I kiss her neck gently as she stands straight and tries to detangle my arms from around her waist. I don't let go so she sighs and we do a weird shuffle across the hall to my mums room because I don't want to let go of her just yet. She picks up each glass bottle and looks at the label, putting down most of them without even smelling them. Finally she picks one up and smells it, smiling. I detach my arms from around her waist as she steps forward to spray her body. I immediately recognise the scent, sweet vanilla. "What are the odds that she has my perfume." She says distantly while up looking at me, taking in my outfit and smiling. "I need to see if I can find a spooly. I'm sure I saw one a second ago." She begins to scan my mums desk and I nod, as if I know what the hell a spooly is? "Don't worry. I don't expect you to know what it is but...this is one." She holds up a weird little black brush thing before leaning forward to brush through her eyebrows with it. Oh it's for that. "You ready?" I ask and she looks back into the mirror and pulls a face before shrugging and walking out with me. "What was that face for?" I ask her as we walk down the stairs. She shrugs, "Didn't like what I saw." She says as though it is a normal thing. I stare at her in disbelief, examining her gorgeous face and wondering what she could possibly see. "You look gorgeous Blair." I say and she smiles and when we get to the front door I stand in front of her and grab hold of her wrist loosely, dipping to look in her eyes. "I'm serious." I say and she nods. "Thank you. You look great too. As usual." She says and rolls her eyes as we walk out, knowing that I'm grinning widely at her.
