Liz's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, squinting as the sun shined obnoxiously thorough my window. Then I realized it wasn't my window after all, it was Ari's. I opened my eyes fully and propped myself up on my elbows on the couch to take a look around the room. Matt and Ari were sprawled on the ground wrapped in each other. I smirked at the predicted new relationship and continued to search the room. Vic was on the couch across from me, her hand dangling down to where Leon was sound asleep on the ground. One person was missing though. Where was Avan?
I stretched my arms and then quietly got up from the couch, being careful not to wake the others. I really hadnt planned on sleeping over last night but considering it was Saturday it wasn't a big deal. As I tiptoed through the house I recalled the last night's events. Panic washed over me as I remembered what Avan had said to me last night. Did he not mean what he said? Did it scare him off?
"Shit, shit, SHIT!" I whispered loudly to myself. I pulled out my phone, which luckily was still in my pocket, and was about to text Avan when I ran into someone.
"Liz Mcgills! Aren't you on quite the swearing rampage this morning!"
My face flooded with relief, "Avan you're still here! I though you left..." I drifted off.
"why would I leave?" he asked seriously.
"Because of what you said last night...I thought you maybe got scared off or something..." I replied tentatively.
He smiled, "I would never do that. I meant what I said 100%."
A grin stretched across my face but before I could pull him in for a relieved hug a piercing series of shrieks filled the silent air around us.
My heart skipped a beat and I looked at Avan terrified.
"Oh DAMN!" he yelled over the beeping as he sprinted down the hall to the kitchen. I followed in step and gasped when I rounded the corner and entered the kitchen.
Smoke filled the air and I immediately covered my mouth and nose with the hem of my shirt.
I looked over to where the smoke was coming from and I saw Avan attempting to put the fire on the stove out by smothering it with a wet towel. Thinking fast, I ran over to the cabinet and grabbed the fire extinguisher and quickly put out the flames.
After the danger was gone, Avan rushed over and turned the smoke alarm off, then turned to me in shock.
I stared at him, looking for an explanation.
"I was making breakfast." he said simply.
I sighed and began opening windows to air out the smokey room. Within seconds the whole gang was rushing into the kitchen, questions pouring out of their mouths in panic.
"It's all fine now!" I managed to yell out over the commotion.
Ari turned to me, "what happened?" she asked.
Avan spoke up, "I'm sorry Ari, I was trying to make breakfast and lets just say...I'm not the best cook."
Ari sighed but then smiled gently, "it's ok as long as no one was hurt."
"I'll clean this up ari you guys can just go chill ok? I'm really sorry." Avan said obviously feeling terrible.
"Thanks Avan." she said, then she looked up at me, "Liz..." she said quietly motioning to Avan.
I caught her drift and nodded my head, knowing that she wanted me to stay to help him...and to also make sure he didn't start another fire.
The gang left the room and I turned to Avan. "We'll I'm never letting you make anything in my house." I said cracking a grin.
The tension left his face and he chuckled.
"Let's get this cleaned up." I said still smiling.
"Thanks Liz." Avan said seriously.
I just smiled. I mean was there anything else to say?
Within an hour we had the stove and countertops completely spotless, with a scorched frying pan as the only sign of the fire. Not a minute later Vic popped her head through the doorway. "Hey guys Leon, Matt and I are heading out now so I just wanted to say bye!"
"Oh ok! See you later Vick!" I said walking over to give her a short hug.
"See ya Vick." Avan said giving her a hug as well. "Say bye to everyone else for us?"
"Sure thing." Vick departed with a small wave. Shortly after Ari appeared once again.
"Wow guys you cleaned up the kitchen nicely! Thanks a bunch." she said smiling.
"Its no problem Ari." I said sincerely, "Avan and I should be heading out though." I added.
"Alright I'll see you guys Monday!" she said cheerfully, giving us each a hug.
Avan grabbed my hand on the way out, making a tingly feeling spread throughout my body. I squeezed his hand in mine, letting him know I was happy.
We walked in step out the front door, grabbing our things on the way out. Switching positions, Avan casually draped his arm around my shoulders and I leaned into his chest, completely exhausted from the mornings activities. Not to mention the crazy fun we had last night.
Once down the walkway we both hopped into the truck which Avan started immediately.
Then he turned to me, "Your place or mine?"
A grinned spread across my face. He really could read my mind. I just wanted to snuggle up in his arms and get some well deserved sleep.
"Yours." I said simply and looked ahead to where the driveway was soon vanishing beneath our feet.
10 minutes of silent, yet comfortable driving later, we arrived at Avan's apartment. I shuffled inside and basically threw myself onto his bed, being joined shortly by Avan falling down next to me. He threw the huge comforter over the both of us and pulled me close into his chest. His arms were wrapped comfortably around my waist, and I breathed out a content sign.
He kissed my head lightly and then we both drifted off into a deep, blissful sleep.
