chapter thirteen

that night they slept in her room, cuddled together and watching the stars through the window from the bed. the next morning he went for a quick ride before she woke up and came back to her making herself some waffles.

"good morning beautiful." he said while sitting his helmet on the counter then kissing her cheek.

"morning." she mumbled. she looked cozy. even through she just got pajamas she still opted to sleep in his hoodie and her underwear, and he loved the way she looked in his clothes.

"where'd you go?" she asked, resting her head back on his shoulder.

"just for a ride." he cooed and tucked his his head down into her neck. she smelt so good, vanilla, but it was very faint.

"gonna make me some?" he asked, gently swaying their bodies.

"no, you left me here all by myself." she grumbled jokingly.

"i'm sorry baby, you just looked so peaceful this morning.. couldn't bring myself to wake you up." she smiled, turning around in his arms.

"i did sleep really good." he smiled, pecking her lips.

"here, you can have these, their fresh." she handed him the plate with two waffles but he shook his head.

"that's okay, go ahead and eat.. ill make my own." she looked up at him for a second longer before turning out of his arms. she got a few strawberries and placed them atop her waffles, pouring a little bit of syrup.

"i should probably take you home today." she glanced up to him with furrowed eyebrows.

"why?" she asked. she didn't want to go home. she felt like she was just always in the house. even though she was mainly staying in this house with him, it was a different house, a change of scenery.

"your brother probably misses you." she groaned.

"then he can come over." he noticed the slight attitude in her voice, turning to look at her.

"do you not want to go home?" she shook her head.

"not right now, i need something different.. i feel like i'm trapped in that house." he gave a sympathetic smile and walked to lean on the table in front of her.

"i'm sorry, we can stay here as long as you want.. alright?" she nodded, beginning to pick at her food.

"are you full?" he asked, looking into her eyes even though she wasn't looking at him.

"yeah." she muttered, pushing her plate forwards.

"want me to eat it?" she nodded. sometimes she'd go back to her food and finish it later but she didn't want this anymore, she just wanted to cuddle in bed. she waited for him to finish her food and rushed to his room, getting comfortable under the sheets.

"do you want to pick the movie?" he asked while pulling the blanket over himself, but she didn't answer, just simply cuddled into his chest.

"i'm sleepy." she muttered, snuggling her head into his chest some more. he decided on a movie and she fell asleep ten minutes later. rowan admired the brunette girl in hers arms, tucking the loose hairs from her ponytail out of her face. a little smile spread across her face but her face fell still after that.

"so pretty." he cooed, kissing her forehead before focusing on the movie.

later she woke up to the ravenette getting out of bed, walking to his closet. she just laid still, silently watching.

"are you awake over there?" he glanced out of the closet, her eyes were open but not much.

"mhm." she hummed, throwing the blankets off of her shoulders after noticing how hot she was.

"well, you brother invited us to dinner with him and ember.. and a few of the guys." she sat up, resting her head back against the headboard.

"i know you just want to lay down today so if you don't want to go we can just order some food for dinner and watch some movies.. i don't mind either way." she smiled and climbed out of the bed, stretching.

"we can go.. so my brother isn't freaking out if i stay here a little longer." he pecked her lips before she disappeared to the bathroom. she took a shower then went to her room to get ready. she decided on some black jean shorts and a oversized t- shirt. juliana towel dried her hair as she didn't have a blow dryer at this point but she didn't mind too much.

"jules." rowan's voice made her look up, smiling softly at the sight of him.

"wanna take the bike? it's nice out" he asked excitedly. she nodded and continued to pull on her underwear and bra. they were already so comfortable around each other, he barely noticed she was naked when he first walked in.

"well, guess i'm gonna have to get you a helmet of your own." juliana smiled at the idea.

"sounds like a good idea." she pull on her shorts then her shirt, pulling on her vans.

"you look very pretty, but you have to have something that covers your skin, even if you just put your sweats on over your shorts and take them off when we get there." he cooed and pulled her to his chest, kissing her lips.

"okay." juliana smiled and held onto him tighter.

"i'll go get my old gear for you to wear, it should fit better." this gear was his very first set, he hadn't worn it in a year or so ago but he couldn't find it in himself to throw it away. soon she came out to his garage, a small purse in her hand and her hair pulled back in a ponytail.

"you can put that in my back pack." she hummed in acknowledgment and pushed it down into his bag. he helped her get geared up and sat her on the back of his bike before pulling on his helmet and vest then climbed on the bike.

"you good?" he asked, rubbing the thick fabric of her sweatpants.

"mhm." she hummed.

when they arrived to the restaurant he parked his bike in the spot with jackson's before helping her off. she realized a car that looked like chloe's but for the most ignored it, her car was a basic grey honda so it wasn't definitely her. she tugged off her sweatpants and folded them neatly, tucking them into his backpack before following behind him into the restaurant.

"table for two?" the waitress asked as they walked through the doors.

"no, we're here with-"

"hey!" jackson said excitedly, hugging his sister and pulled her from rowans hold. he smiled to the waitress and walked behind the two.

"chloe?" juliana giggled, sitting besides the blond and wrapped her arms around her.

"hey!" chloe said while swaying softly. eventually everyone sat down and juliana learned chloe was messing around with one of the guys. by the end of dinner they had plans to go to this new bar that opened up downtown, and juliana was excited. it was supposed to be just a girls trip but the guys didn't like that idea... at all. so they compromised and made it a fun little get together for all of them, planning their girls night for a different time.
