Drew’s POV
Nine AM. Billie hadn’t stirred. I’d been awake since around seven, inexplicably bored. I tried waking her with kisses, then resorted to the promise of Taco Bell. Nothing. She didn’t move.
I tried again, and when that failed, I decided on a more direct approach. I filled a glass with water in the bathroom. I carefully tilted it, letting a slow stream spill onto her face. She bolted upright on her elbows. Billie sank back down.
“Drew, I swear, I will kill you if you spill any more of that on me.” She mumbled into her pillow.
“Baby, get up,” I groaned, trying again.
I tipped the rest of the glass over her, and still nothing. I set the glass down. Billie pulled me onto the bed by my waist, dragging me down with her.
“Billie!” My clothes soaked through. She rolled onto me, pressing her wet face into my neck. I sighed, accepting defeat.
Billie laughed, a bubbly sound against my skin. I ran my fingers through strands of wet hair clinging to her forehead.
“Are you seriously not getting up after that?” I asked, annoyance creeping into my voice.
“Fuck no. You’re staying down too.”
I knew then that I was in for a long morning.
