Chapter 6

Akia POV

A weight lands on my body, jolting me out of sleep. “Wakey, wakey.” I feel hands all over my face. I groan and shift my body, trying to make it stop. “I’m not getting up until you wake up.” I groan again, louder this time, but the weight doesn’t move.

“Get off me, you cow.”

“Ow! Is that any way to talk to your very best friend?” I sigh and turn my body so my back is on the mattress. Esme’s body is over mine, and she keeps putting her fingers in my face. She does this sometimes, and it’s annoying as hell. I can’t get mad, though, because I love her too much.

“I’m going to get a new best friend if you don’t get off me.” Esme kisses me on my forehead, making a loud kissing noise.

“Are you awake now?” She kisses me again and then starts to tickle me. I’m extremely ticklish.
