Learning Together. ~PAUSED~

Chapter Twenty-Four

I woke up the next morning to someone or something playing with my hair. I smiled and glanced over to Chandler who was watching me.

"Morning." He said with a lazy lopsided grin, making my heart flutter in my chest.

"Morning.. were you watching me sleep?" I asked teasing, moving his hair from his eyes.

Chandler nodded with a grin. "I was, you're beautiful when you sleep."

I rolled my eyes and sat up looking down at him. "Well, look at you being all creepy and sweet." I tease, leaning slightly to him, kissing him gently. "How does your shoulder feel?"

After wrinkling his nose Chandler relaxed back on his pillow. "I've felt better, but I'll live."

I frowned as I sat up, climbing out of the bed. "You need your pain medicine." I said stretching and looking around. "Where's Zoey?"

Chandler sat up gently leaning back against my headboard, settling in. "Hunter got her a few hours ago, she was whining at the door."

I frowned and checked the time on my phone. It was two in the afternoon. "Wow, I bet she was." I said pulling my favorite hoody over my sports bra. "I'll be right back, I need to check on her and get your stuff. Stay in bed." I said using my nurses' voice pointing at him sternly.

"Oh, I like that tone of voice." Chandler said smirking at me. "So sexy."

I laugh and shake my head as I headed out of my bedroom. My happy mood quickly changed as I closed my bedroom door. I heard Kylie and Hunter in the kitchen arguing over something I for sure didn't care about. I frowned and shook my head before sneaking quietly past the kitchen to our dining room table to grab the CVS bags I had dumped there too tired to put them up at seven this morning.

"Oh you're finally awake." Came Kylie's nasty tone behind me. "Thank you for gracing us with your precents, now you can take care of your own dog."

I took a deep breath and turned around arching an eyebrow at her. "All you had to do is put her back in my room." I said simply, bending down, picking a very happy jumpy Zoey. I wasn't going to stoop to the bitches level by trading insults back and forth. "Good morning my love." I cooed at Zoey, kissing her head giggling as she licked my chin.

I completely ignored Kylie as I walked past her. She turned as I went by and opened her mouth to say something else I'm pretty sure was going to be nasty before Hunter cut her off. "Cut it out babe."

"Don't tell me what to.." She started before Chandler walked out of my room, looking all groggy and sexy with his shirt off. Goodness it was a crime to look like that in pain and tired. "Well hello." Kylie cooed at him, literally pushing past me to walk over to Chandler. "What happened doll?" She asked as she stepped up to him, running her hand down his arm, standing way to close to him. "Anything I can do to take care of you?"

I narrowed my eyes at her, not only was she touching and hitting on my man but she was doing this in front of Hunter. After all she's put him through, that was the worst part.

As for Chandler he looked extremely uncomfortable, moving back and stepping away from her a few steps. Only to have to wicked witch move into his personal space again. "I uh.." He stuttered looking at Hunter and myself for help.

"Back off Kylie." I snapped as Zoey growled at her, shaking angrily in my arms.

"What? Worried I'll take your man again?" She goaded barely turning her attention to me still trying to stroke Chandler's arm, knowing full well I was going to try and rip her hair out any minute.
