(6) Revelation 16:16

Aiden placed a large coffee at Marley's side as he sat back down at the table at 8am that Sunday morning, with most of the cabin's residents also slumped into tables tiredly. She shot him a glance over the rim of her coffee mug, wondering how he was upright right now.

The guys all fell asleep in the hallway with their respective girlfriends; Marley woke up to a bunch of girls clearing their throats so they could get by, her face buried in Aiden's chest and their bodies tangled together. She knew he was tired though, because in all their time together he's always been the first one awake and this morning, he was still breathing deeply, passed out. She reached a hand up to fix his hair absentmindedly, watching him snatch her cup from her and take a drink with surprise contorting her features.

"It's full of sugar and 2% milk. You made it."

She watched Aiden's nose wrinkle after taking a big gulp, with a knowing grin on her lips.

Aiden's a black coffee and tea drinker. Outside of special events, he drinks water and the powdered protein shakes he keeps in stock in his room. Her double double was definitely not on his meticulous list of Aiden approved drinks.

"I know. But I needed it."

Marley sighed with wrinkled brows at his tiredness.

"Take a nap afterwards. The world is not going to end if you do," she suggested, going back to drinking her coffee.

She needed it, too.

His blue eyes shot to hers, sparkling mischievously, "I missed my morning workout today, so I have all this pent up energy that wouldn't let me sleep. You can help with th-"

She slapped a hand over his mouth lazily, blushing, but not even having enough energy to shout 'Aiden Matthews!' right now in a scolding manner. Marley definitely would in this moment, though.

"Not the time, Aiden."

She shivered when he held her hand against his mouth and kissed her palm before letting it go. Her hand still tingled and burned as she curled it around her coffee.

"Just a thought," she shot his cheeky smirk a quick glare.

"How can you even come up with sexual innuendoes at this time of morning?" Bree droned from the other side of Marley, "you're always like, awake, and it's starting to get weird."

"The dude's superhuman," Leo said from across the table, "Full night of multiple parties, multiple girls, drinking enough to need our stomach's pumped, and Aiden is jogging down the street at 6am the next day."

Marley couldn't help but tense at the 'multiple girls' part of Leo's statement. Aiden's with her now, but the reminder that he was basically anyone and everyone else's before her is an uncomfortable one.

"But it's such a mystery that I got about three times the offers as you did for college football," Aiden shot back easily, but his hackles were raised - Marley could feel it being that she was under his arm.

"You know it's my grades, man," Leo growled back.

"Alright hangry girls, lets calm down here," Kelly cut in with a loud yawn, "How is it that us girls managed to figure out a compromise to leave each other alone and you guys are all starting to hate each other?"

"If Leo could just keep his goddamn side of the room clean-"

"-toothpaste all over the fucking sink, Ryan-"

"-Aiden could not blast his alarm at five am-"

"-close the door before he pisses all over the toilet seat-"
