Chapter 6

Josh awoke to orange.

Bright orange had taken over his sight and a sweet strawberry scent filled his nose. Hayley’s hair rested wildly on his face, while her body was pressed closely against his. Her face was buried into his side, and her arms were draped over his chest. He smacked his stomach, as if to shoo away the butterflies that went wild inside.

Being the light sleeper that she was, Hayley woke up as soon as she heard a smacking sound. She slowly opened her eyes to see a very frustrated Josh, slapping his own stomach. That was… Strange

Then she realised how close she was to him and how she had been hugging him while she slept. It was a subconscious issue of hers; her body always shifted toward heat, and since Josh was so near (and warm), her body had automatically scooted toward him. But she didn’t really mind being so close to him.

She heard Josh laugh softly, and felt something being pulled away from her. She hissed like an animal and snatched it back roughly.

“Hands off, Farro” She whispered fiercely, with a snarl.

“You still have Mr Ducky?! And you sleep with him too!”

Josh was laughing now. He laughed until his face turned purple. Hayley rolled her eyes and patted Mr Ducky on his head.

“Don’t listen to this ass, Mr D. I’m sure you remember him, he’s Josh Farro. He’s just jealous that I love you more than him!”

Josh scoffed, and grabbed Mr Ducky away, causing Hayley to follow after her duck, which meant leaping over Josh. Hayley had practically tackled Josh onto the bed and they had landed in an extremely awkward position on top of each other.

She scampered off him quickly, and jumped off the bed with Mr Ducky in her arms. She spotted something at the corner of her eye, and lunged toward it. Josh watched her in amusement. Seeing her act like this, brought back memories of when they were kids.

“HAH, YOU STILL KEEP MR GOOSIE!”

“NO! Don’t touch him!”

Hayley grinned with such evil that she could have made anyone cry. She stuck out her tongue, and held Mr Goosie inches from her face. Josh narrowed his eyes into slits.

“Don’t you dare…”

Hayley brought the stuffed toy an inch closer.

“NO, PLEASE! I’m begging you!”

Another inch was closed.

“NO! HAYLEY, STOP PLEASE. I’M SORRY! DON’T!”

Hayley’s tongue brushed against Mr Goosie’s stiff fur.

Suddenly, she felt like she was hit by a truck. She fell into a giant laundry pile of clothes, with the truck landing next to her. Josh wasn’t going to let her off so easily for committing such a foul act. He began to tickle her mercilessly, causing her to burst out in a fit of giggles. He stopped tickling her and fell onto his back on the laundry pile with a content smile. Still recovering from her gut busting laughter, Hayley laid back as well. She closed her eyes and began to daydream.

A pair of soft lips was placed gently onto hers, the cold surface of a lip ring sending chills down her spine.

"Mr D doesn't love you as much as I do"

She smiled and kissed back eagerly.
