Already Mine

Sixteen

Chapter 16:
Friday Morning

    "America." I heard my name being whispered.

I groaned not wanting to wake up just yet, "Go away."

"Mer, we have to get up. It's Friday." Parker said as I felt him touch my nose.

I swatted his fingers from my nose before opening my eyes, he stood by my side of his bed. He was dressed in fresh clothes and with his hair wet and the smell of his cologne I knew he just took a shower. I sat up as he walked away and sat on the foot of his bed to put on his shoes.

"Shit, I was supposed to go home." I said as I got off his bed and realized I was wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday.

"Did you want me to take you home to get dressed?" Parker asked when he grabbed his backpack.

I shook my head as I took out my phone and seen the time, we would be late if we went back to my place.

"Is Maya still here?" I asked him as I stood up.

"Yeah, she is heading out though." Parker told me as he sat back down.

I walked out of Parker's room right when Maya was walking out of hers. She stopped walking when she saw me, a smirk took over her lips.

"Walk of shame? You know I thought it would happen one way or another." She told me.

I rolled my eyes, "First of all no, second we fell asleep after the movie. I was supposed to go home but I must've knocked out. I need to borrow some jeans or leggings, please."

"Alright, give me a second." Maya said before she turned around and disappeared back into her room.

A few seconds went by before she walked back out with a pair of leggings in her hand. Maya walked over and handed them to me.

"Might want to fix your hair as well." She commented before going downstairs.

I shook my head before going back into Parker's room. He was still sitting at the foot of his bed but now he was looking at his phone. I hurried up and walked to his bathroom, when I shut the door and looked in the mirror I realized why Maya told me what she did.

I shook the thoughts before hurrying up and taking off my jeans and putting on the leggings she gave me. I decided to leave the hoodie on, I walked out of the bathroom and ran my fingers through my hair.

"Help me." I pleaded.

Parker looked up from his phone and towards me, he sighed as he set his phone down next to him. He motioned me to go over to him, I sat down on the floor in front of him. I faced the tv that was turned off as he began to separate my hair, I wasn't lying to Hayden when I said my best friend braided my hair.

Parker braids his mother and Maya's hair and he's done mine before, and it wasn't half assed either. It was actually really nice. It didn't take him long to finish the braid. Once he was done we grabbed our bags and headed out.

"Ugh I'm so tired." I complained with a yawn.

Parker just nodded but didn't say anything, he was acting weird. I wasn't sure exactly why, I thought back and realized he didn't say much this morning. I started thinking that maybe I had over stayed my welcome at his house, or maybe I was some burden?
