I could feel the heat flush to my cheeks after Isabel's comment, but I put my head down and continued eating.

"What's got you all hot and bothered over there?" Isabel asked me teasingly.

"Nothing, nothing at all," I responded.

She smirked at me before turning her attention back to her plate.

"Hurry up and finish eating so we can go watch a movie or something," I said to her.

"Fine, fine," she said, "I'm almost done."

"Good, because all I want to do now is lay down in my bed," I said as I got up and put my plate in the dishwasher.

"See, I knew you were trying to get me into your bed," Isabel grinned.

"God damn, I can tell what you have on your mind tonight," I said to her.

"Okay sorry," she responded with an innocent look, "I'm done now, I swear."

"We'll see," I said playfully as she stood up from the counter.

I put the leftover pizza away and Isabel cleaned off the rest of the dishes.

"You'd make a pretty good housewife you know," I said as I watched her finish loading up the dishwasher.

"Don't start with me," she grinned, "just be glad I'm helping."

"Come on," I said with a smirk as I motioned for her to follow me.

We walked back to my bedroom and I turned the TV on before we both laid down. I pulled a blanket over top of us and started a movie as we got settled in.

"You might have to wake me up again at the end of this," Isabel said sleepily.

"Really that bad, huh?" I asked her.

"No, I do actually like it," she said, "I'm just way too comfortable."

My arm was around her shoulders, and her head was resting on the edge of my chest. She wasn't wrong, I felt like I could fall asleep like this too.

"Do you want me to make sure you're awake every few minutes?" I asked her, "because you know I could do that if you wanted me to."

"No, you don't - " Isabel started.

She stopped mid sentence when I quickly brought my hand up to her ear and flicked the back of it.

"Skylar!" She squealed as she playfully hit my stomach.

"Sorry!" I laughed, "had to."

"I'm not falling asleep any time soon," Isabel said, "don't worry."

"Good," I responded as I looked down at her.

I gently rubbed my fingertips along her shoulder as we went back to watching the movie.

"But I might take back that statement if you keep doing that," Isabel said.

Her eyes started to flutter shut and I shook my head and grinned. I stopped rubbing her shoulder and she opened her eyes and looked up at me.

"That didn't mean I wanted you to stop..." she said.

"Too bad because you're not allowed to bail out on me yet," I responded.

"Fine," she sighed.

The movie didn't have much left, and Isabel and I both made it without falling asleep.

"Okay," she said as she sat up in bed, "I better get going or I'm never leaving this bed."

"So then just stay," I said to her.

"I don't know if that's a good idea..." she said hesitantly.

"It's fine, Ava isn't going to be back until almost noon tomorrow, stay with me," I pleaded with her.

She looked at the time on her phone and then back at me, "alright."

"Perfect," I grinned.

I got out of the bed and took a large t-shirt out of my drawer and tossed it to Isabel.

"There you go if you want it," I said.

"Thanks," she responded.

She stood up and faced away from me as she took her pants and shirt off. I glanced over at her as she reached back and unhooked her bra.

She tossed it on the chair in the corner of my room, and I couldn't help but stare at the bare skin on her back before it was covered up with the shirt.

I looked away before she turned back around and crawled into bed next to me.

Before we got too settled, I reached under my shirt and unhooked my bra, pulling it out from my sleeve.

"Wow, very impressive," Isabel said to me.

"I know, I try," I grinned as I pulled the comforter up over top of us.

Isabel turned over on her side, facing away from me, and I moved closer as I put my arm around her waist.

"Are you sure that Ava isn't coming home until later tomorrow morning?" Isabel asked.

"Yes," I responded, "she said she wouldn't be back here until eleven or twelve."

"Alright...it's still making me nervous to stay here," she said.

"So you can have sex in a public supply closet, but this makes you nervous?" I asked her teasingly.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up," she said.

"You're weird," I said quietly into her ear.

"Isn't that why you like me?" She asked.

"Okay, kind of a fair point," I admitted, "but stop worrying. Didn't you tell me that we weren't going to think about that tonight?"

"Yeah, I know I did...I'm trying not to," she said, "I need to take my own advice apparently."

"We both suck at this," I told her.

"Sure do," she sighed, "alright I'm going to sleep now, night Skylar."

"Night," I responded as I kissed the side of her neck.

The scent of Isabel's perfume and the feeling of her body resting against mine made me want to keep kissing her.

I kissed her neck again, and then the top of her shoulder. I really hadn't asked Isabel to stay here for this reason, but now that she was laying next to me in bed it was all that I could think about.

My lips continued along the back of her shoulder blade as my hand fumbled around to find the bottom of her shirt.

"I thought we were going to sleep," Isabel said as she crooked her neck to the side.

"I changed my mind," I said quietly.
