Chapter 33: Tease the teaser

~Aoife~

My phone buzzed with an alarm. I cursed that sound, which disturbed me from my deep sleep. “Shut up.” I covered my ears.

I never liked winter days if I had to get up in the morning.

I pulled my warm blanket with the thought of taking a quick nap.

We all like that small nap after our alarm buzz; the sleep between the snooze time is purest.

“Just one more minute, please,” I whispered with my roll mouth. My phone buzzed again while I was trying to open my heavy eyes. I turned, and the next moment, I found myself on the ground.

“Ahhh...” I screamed.

THUD. I fell from the couch as my butts hit the ground. The next thing I heard was Matt laughing madly, looking at me.

He came to pick me up from the ground.

“Shut up,” I groaned, rubbing my ass.

“Areee..... youuu... ok,” he couldn’t control himself.

“Stop laughing. I am not used to this small couch,” I gruffed.

He pulled me up as it wrapped my body up in the blanket.

“Ahhh...my butt.” I massaged my ass.

“Would you like to have tea or coffee?” he smiled as he fixed my hair and helped me come out from the blanket.

“Coffee, please.” I jerked that stupid blanket.

I walked towards the bathroom for my morning business. After some time, I returned and felt delighted watching white coffee could come from the cup reserved for me.

“How come you wake up so early? Don’t you feel sleepy? Look at the weather, windy and chilly.” I gulped my sips.

He smiled, giving me a single look from his laptop screen.

“What are you doing?”

“Last day of submission of the assignment.” He got busy with his work.

“Is he still sleeping?” I questioned.

“Don’t know.” He answered.

“Let me go check him.” I grabbed my coffee mug and went to check on him. Slowly, I opened the door and saw him sleeping.

I couldn’t stop looking at him closely; I sat near him.

His eyes were closed, and I only wanted to stare at his sculpted face. I gulped my sip, looking at him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes; that made me cough with shock.

He got up and patted my back. I could feel his warm breath on my shoulder, then his hand was busy massaging my back.

“You scared me,” I said while coughing.

“No, I caught you; staring at me.” he husked in my ears.

“I came to check on you. Are you feeling better or not?” Matt entered the room.

“Morning buddy, how are you feeling now?” he stood beside me.

Xander backed himself onto the bed again.

“Better. Can I get some coffee?” he asked Matt.

Matt nodded and walked out to make coffee for Xander. I stood there, looking at him. He snatched the coffee mug from my hand.

“I asked you for coffee.” he took a few sips from it.

His eyes didn’t leave my surprised face.

“Hey, that was my cooo...ff...ee,” I whined.

“It’s mine now.” he licked his lips.

“Um... It’s a little sweet. Did it touch your lips? It has your sweetness.” His eyes looked upon my blushed face.

I rolled my eyes; he started teasing me the time he woke up.

“You don’t feel tired of flirting with girls?” I pulled my mug.

“I have to go; you take care of yourself.” I turned, but he clenched my hand hard and pulled me.

“I don’t flirt with girls. Girls flirt with me.” He circled the falling hair strands behind my ear and caressed my lower lip.

I was numb under his touch, but that was not what I expected him to do.

“Who will help me for the rest of my day?” He smirked. I backed up, practicing to compose my raised breath, and a perfect answer popped into my mind.

I licked my lips as I touched his cheeks, bending down towards his face to start the conversation he had left.

He closed his eyes as he was ready to accept my following action. I released a warm breath in his ears and said,

“Your sex friend.”

His emotions changed; he wanted to capture my neck, but I backed myself immediately. I laughed as I saw him getting angry at me. Matt entered the room with a confused expression.

“Why are you laughing? What happened?” He asked.

“Nothing. He is missing his girlfriend.” I pressed my lips harder to stop my giggles. Matt rolled his eyes at the thought of Zareena.

“She didn’t know about him.” He informed.

He extended the mug towards Xander as his killer look wanted revenge on me. I teased him again with a wink. After we finished our coffee, we came out as I was about to leave for my dorm and college. But before I went, I saw a mail on his laptop.

My eyes got popped out as I screamed with excitement.

“Matttttttt,” I hugged him thousands of times; jumped on my toes. It surprised them by looking at me. “Why are you screaming?” Matt asked.

“Breathe... breathe.. breathe..” he helped me to calm down.

I exhaled a heavy breath.

“They sent an invitation to meet the author!” I screamed as I hugged him again. Xander came out and saw the madness I had created; he was shocked.

“What is going on? Which author?” He interrupted.

I knew Matt didn’t want to talk about his financial problem.

And I couldn’t stop myself from showing my excitement.

Before Matt answered him, I interrupted and said,

“I wrote an article, and it got selected.”

My answer surprised Matt, but later, when I blinked my eyes, he understood I had tried to hide the truth for his sake.

“Can you come with me?” I asked Matt. He agreed immediately.

“What about me?” Xander interrupted.

“We will call Zareena to help you,” Matt and I answered him simultaneously. We laughed at his angry look as we left the dorm. He went inside.

“I am going to my dorm, getting ready for college, and then at lunchtime, we can go to meet the editor,” I spilled my plan while searching my bag.
