Pet Boy

Why didn't you call?

"Ellie." I heard a voice softly whisper as I stretched out my arms and rolled over.

"It's time to wake up" The soothing voice mumbled as if they had just woken up as well.

That sounds like.... Royce?

My eyes shot open and I jumped up. I saw Royce rubbing his forehead which I had accidentally hit against mine as the sound of morning birds played in the background.

"What are you doing in here?!" I asked shocked

Why am I still not used to seeing him in my bed randomly? I don't always wake up to a boy in my bed, but when I do, it's when I least expect it.

I rubbed my eyes and glanced around the room.

This room- it's not mine.

The room I was sleeping in, wasn't mine but Royce's.

"I-I'm sorry." Royce said afraid as if he did something wrong, "I didn't know if I should sleep somewhere else or not so I was going to leave but I didn't know where to go so I stayed." Royce panicked.

I sighed and turned towards him.

"Sorry it's my fault. This is your room so you could have told me to go sleep in my own room." I said, apologizing for flipping out on him.

"You looked comfortable so I didn't want to wake you up." Royce replied with a light shade of pink blooming on his cheeks.

"But still, I'm sorry for sleeping in your bed."

"It's ok. It was nice with you here." Royce said with a sweet smile making me want to hug him.

He's so cute! How did I become so lucky to have him as a boyfriend?!

Royce had a bit of bed head which only made him look even more adorable than he already was.

"Ughhh I have to go get ready for school." I said while flopping backwards onto Royce's bed and covering my face with a pillow.

I let out a heavy sigh and then got up to leave.

"Oh Ellie!" Royce said just as I was leaving. "Good morning."

I smiled at him. "Good morning."

I quietly snuck out of the room and down the hall to mine, trying my hardest not to draw attention.

Imagine if Elliot or Andrew or Aron saw my sneaking out of Royce's room after spending the night in there. That would be hard to explain and even if I did explain it they probably wouldn't believe me.

I crawled back into my room and started getting ready to take a shower.

As if in a hurry, I stripped off my clothes, wrapped a towel around my body, and rushed to the bathroom.

All morning, as I got ready, Royce was the only thing in my mind.

That was until I realized what happened at school the day before.

The one thing I was supposed to remember to do, I forgot.

I was supposed to call James.

Everyone ate breakfast and the morning carried on like every other, although Royce and I only glanced at each other from time to time.

If we made eye contact for too long, I would surely blush and the other guys might know something's up.

Jake knocked at the door and I went to answer it as usual, but this time, Royce kept a jealous eye on me, well aware of the crush Jake had on me, but not aware that we had kissed a time before.
