Chapter 43
♡ Lauren’s POV ♡
I woke to the sun streaming in through the curtains. I raised my hands to cover my eyes and realized my hand was trapped under Bella's weight. When she snored in front of me, she fell asleep with her mouth open. I was startled by the pungent smell of alcohol in her mouth, mixed with morning breath.
I had no choice but to wake her up by slapping her face with my free hand. I knew I could wake her up in a less painful way, but her reaction made me giggle, sounding like a dying hyena.
"Damn it, Lauren! Bella hissed, rubbing her cheeks. Is it too bad I don't regret it?
"Sorry, your breath stinks, I need to let go of my hand, which you're imprisoning under your heavy ass.” I laughed and held my nose, trying to tease her further.
She rolled her eyes.” My breath doesn't smell. You can wake me up by rocking me on your shoulder or something.” She whimpered before she came down from my trapped hand.
"But where's the fun in that? "I asked, more like a three-year-old whining. She looked at me as if I were dirt. Then she blew into her hand before smelling it.
"Oh damn, my breath stinks! ” She winced when I burst out laughing.
I nodded.” I told you so.”
"Damn you, why are you up so early? "Simon groaned wearily. His sudden sound made me jump because he was right behind me and I hadn't noticed until now.
'Blimey, I didn't even see you there! I gasped.
"It's nice to know my wish has come true, to become invisible.” He rolled his eyes.
"I wish you were.” Bella said rudely.
"One, shut up, Bella. I haven't forgiven you. And, two, your breath smells like dog shit, so go do something about it before I kick you out of your own bed.” He replied, and put the pillow on her face. She let out a cry of surprise, then got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
"You guys are mean. Don't worry about my breathing.” Those were the last words she said before closing the bathroom. Simon and I looked at each other expectantly, and I spoke quickly before he could say anything.
'You make breakfast!
He fell down in defeat and mumbled.” All right.”
When we got out of bed and went to the kitchen, I realized Simon was naked. I screamed in shame, blocked my eyes and walked face forward through the door. I mumbled and glared at Simon, who was laughing hysterically. He shrugged his shoulders when I saw him. He did not try to hide either his happiness or his naked self.
"Simon, you nasty bastard, why are you sleeping naked next to me? "I asked, pointing an angry finger at him.
He shrugged.” Lauren, this is the way I sleep. It's no big deal. I'm not straight.
"Simon, I don't care if you're gay or not, what you're doing is disgusting, how could you do that? To think of me sleeping next to you.” I shuddered with disgust when I thought of his naked body touching mine.
"You didn't complain when you touched me in your sleep. I even remember you moaning Magee.” "He sang loudly. I coughed awkwardly, trying not to cry with shame.
"I didn't.” I sobbed and tried to convince him. Maybe I did it. God, I hope not. It's so embarrassing.
Simon laughed.” You didn't, but you should have seen your face! ” "He said over hysterical laughter. As I turned to enter the kitchen, I rolled my eyes, trying not to look panicked. I could hear his footsteps following me as I jumped on the stool and sat down.
"I don't want to talk anymore.” I murmured.
"Oh, Lauren, don't do that.” "He joked. I just wanted to point a spoon or a spatula at his head, and maybe he would have some dignity.
"Please cover your dick, you've scarred me enough.” I let it out.
He saluted.” All right, captain.” He stepped forward, picked up a kitchen apron, and tied it around his waist. Then he opened the fridge and bent down to take the egg out, leaving his butt completely split open in front of my eyes. I lost my appetite and sighed in exasperation.
"That's not what I meant by cover-up.” I said matter-of-factly as he began to break the eggs and put them in the bowl. Then he adds salt and pepper, and he beats everything together.
"Hey, it's covering everything up! He answered.
"Your ass is still showing! ” I said, pointing to his ass. But the idiot just smiled and then slapped his butt and posed for me. Sometimes I wonder how I made friends with this totally stupid person.
"The sun is out, and you can't stop them from being free! ” He giggled as he saw the expression on my face.
Then, Bella decided to grace us by showing up. She sat on another stool next to me. She pointed to her brother naked and gave me a fucking look. It was just an apron over it, which, by the way, isn't fair, because we can all see everything.
I watched her with a shrug, waiting for Simon to finally fry the eggs. I've been starving. I can't remember the last time I ate. The smell of fried eggs reached my waiting nostrils, but instead of making my mouth water, I felt the opposite. Before I could think, I was on my knees in the bathroom throwing up what was in my stomach.
When I threw up in the toilet, I could feel a hand rubbing against my back. When I got up to brush my teeth, I was startled by the smell of bile. Bella helped me soothe my back, while her brother looked at me in bewilderment.
"What's the matter, Cami, are you sick? "Bella asked, checking to see if I had a fever.
"No, just the smell of eggs.” I said.
"Since when did the smell of eggs make you sick? ""Asked Simon, puzzled.
I shrugged.” I don't know, maybe it's because I haven't eaten lately and I'm a little nervous about everything that's going on.”
"Oh, maybe, I'll give you a cookie.” Bella smiled and tried to put me at ease. All I could do was give her a little nod, trying not to throw up again.
