Ma Chérie | Remington Leith

Sebastians colorfull words

Remington:
I awoke to Emerson snoring like a fucking freight train beside me, I kicked him but he didn't stop. I looked at my phone,
7:18 AM
I decide that I wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon so I decide to take a shower. I saw Alex still fast asleep. She kicked off her blankets like she always did. I pulled them up and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"You know you're gonna get sick if you keep doing that." I smiled remembering all the times I would tell her that
Sebastian was asleep on the glider, a book in his hand.

...

When I got out of the shower everybody was up. Alex sat at the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the floor, phone in hands.
Sebastian gently pushed my shoulder.
"IHOP for breakfast?"
I shrugged.
"Alex? Where are you staying?" Sebastian asked as he slipped his jacket on
She shrugged "Nowhere I guess."
Sebastian frowned. Emerson look up at him like a kicked puppy.
"Oh please can we keep her? I'll feed her and walk her I promise!"
Alex stared at Emerson, her lip twitched. Sebastian whacked him upside the head.
"Knock it off asshat!"
Emerson rubbed his head.
I sighed
"She can come with us..." I mumbled "if she wants..."
Alex stared at the floor again and shrugged. Sebastian grabbed her jacket and handed it to her.
"Here, you can come along. Then we will take you wherever you want to go. Deal?" Sebastian said
Alex sighed and slipped her jacket on. Muttering to herself.
On our way out I caught the scent of her hair.
French fry oil, and strawberries.
