《The Light You Give》35.
Advertisement
The rest of the week went super quickly, and before I knew it it was time to head home. Home to my mother that meant. And I guess, Seth and I had to discuss the whole college thing. How our relationship would fare.
I mean I still had no idea whether or not I actually wanted to go to navarro or if I should go to Louisiana state.
It was two days after returning from the graduation trip. I was sprawled across my bed, my laptop open next to me. Cast aside the minute the decision got too stressful. College books scattered around me.
"Oi. Can I please have a ride to Chase's?" Molly says popping her head around the door.
"No. I'm busy." I reply giving her a look.
"College choosing?" She asks me, raising her eyebrows at me judgmentally.
"Excuse you little miss. It's hardwork." I say throwing a decorative pillow at her.
"Make a pro's and con's list. It makes it so much easier. And talk to people." She reminds me, pointing sharply at my phone.
"Ok Mom." I say sarcastically with a roll of my eyes. I pickup my phone and message Seth.
Come to mine?
Just finished making churros to bring to you :P
Perfect timing.
Wow your my favourite.
I mean I better be.
I'll be over it five.
"Is Seth coming over?" Molly asks still standing in my doorway.
"Uhh yeah. How'd you figure that?" I ask her, my eyebrows pulling together in confusion.
"That stupid grin on your face." She replies with a roll of her eyes plonking herself down onto my bed.
"How about you have Chase over instead?" I ask her as she leafs through the college books I have scattered everywhere.
"Okay. I guess so." Molly says with a shrug, pulling out her phone and tapping in a few messages.
I open up a google slide and make two slides. One labeled Navarro pro's and con's the other labeled Louisiana pro's and con's. I let out a sigh as I stare at the blank lists.
I hear the front door open and Seth's footsteps start up the stairs.
"Hi Seth." Molly calls out from where she's perched on the end of my bed.
"Hi Molly." He says as he rounds the corner into my room.
"Hey baby." He says scooping me up in a hug and dropping a lingering kiss on my lips before flopping into the bed besides me.
"I still can't believe you two are together finally. And you didn't tell me until you came home. I MISSED YOUR GUYS ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY!" Molly yells in a distressed tone.
"Molly." I say with a chuckle shaking my head.
"Ok well I'll leave you to it. I'll let you know when Chase is coming around." She says nodding to me.
"Okay." I say waving her off and gesturing for her to close the door. She rolls her eyed and closes it most of the way.
"I missed you." Seth says planting a few kisses on my neck before rolling on top of me and pressing his lips against mine.
"I missed you too." I reply with a small smile, our tongues brushing gently.
"Okay. We have to have this discussion." I say pulling away with a small sigh.
"No discussions. Not yet." He says shaking his head and pressing his lips to mine again.
"Seth. This is important." I say struggling to stifle a chuckle.
"I know your trying not to smile." He says with a grin, gently squishing my cheeks together briefly.

"Whatever." I say with a roll of my eyes. Planting a quick kiss on the tip of his nose before giving him a small push so he moves off me.
"So mean to me." He says with a shake of his head.
"You'll live princess." I say with a small chuckle at his pouty face.
"Ok pro's and con's. Colleges." I say giving him my laptop. He sits up slightly and adjusts the computer screen.
"There's nothing on here." He points out blatantly.
"Yeah I know. I need help to figure out the pros and cons." I say grabbing a college manual and flipping through it.
"Well. If you did come to Louisiana first year. Would you stay in the dorms? Or would you find a place off campus?" Seth asks me cautiously.
"Off campus." I say with a firm nod.
Less rules and regulations that way.
"Where are you going?" I ask him.
"Dorms." He says with a small nod to himself.
"And then Navarro I would stay in the dorms. Is it really worth going to Navarro though? Cheer is a dead end sport. At least Soccer could take me somewhere you know?" I think to myself out loud.
"And it's not 6 hours away from me if you go to Louisiana." Seth says with a small smile, typing away on the computer.
"That's true." I say with a small nod.
"Then again Bea and I have talked about going to Navarro together ever since we were kids. But I think I just like the idea of the cheer. The academics is also actually a lot better at Louisiana. But I don't want Bea to feel like I'm going to Louisiana just because you'll be there you know." I ramble on.
"It sounds like you've already made up your mind there's just one thing holding you back." Seth says raising his eyebrows at me.
"I think so. I'll have to talk to her. See what she's doing." I say nodding to myself slowly. Closing all the booklets sprawled our on my bed and chucking them onto my floor.
"Discussion over?" Seth asks hopefully handing me my computer. I look at what he's written.
Louisiana Pro's
- My favourite person in the entire world is going here.
- I get to not be six hours away from my favourite person ever.
- better academics
- MY BABY IS GOING HERE AND HE WOULD LOVE IT IF HE DIDNT HAVE TO BE SIX HOURS AWAY FROM YOU BUT ALSO WILL SUPPORT YOU ANY DECISION YOU CHOOSE. :)
"Oh I didn't know Bea was going to Louisiana?" I ask in a fake serious tone.
Seths mouth drops open.
"Your so mean to me." He says rolling onto me again, moving the laptop out of the way.
"I am not." I say rolling my eyes. Seths arms rest next to my head. I arch my head around, my tongue poking out of my mouth.
"Don't try to lick me." He says moving his arm. I chuckle and lunge for his underarms. I tickle him as he collapses onto me. His arms tucking into his side in protection.
"Lace." He says in between breathy laughs. I pull my hands back with a grin. His face inches away from mine.
"No." He says shaking his head, pulling his lips into a line.
"No what?" I ask him confused.
"Well you see. Sometimes I really want to kiss you. But your being mean. So I can't because otherwise you'll be mean just to kiss me." Seth explains teasingly.

I grin, bringing my hands under Seths shirt, running my hand along his back.
"Lace." Seth says raising his eyebrows at me warningly.
"Yeah baby." I say with an innocent smile. Seths lips pull into a small smile and I plant a kiss on his lips.
"That's one point to Lacey." I say with a victory grin.
"That was cheating." Seth says shaking his head.
"How?" I ask him with a chuckle. Bringing my hands over his shoulders and trailing down his front.
Seth goes for a kiss which I dodge, landing a small kiss on my neck. Seth grins and his lips attack my neck, trailing kisses down my neck. A small sigh of contentment escapes me and I can feel Seth grin against my neck.
"Ten points for Seth." Seth says planting one last kiss on my cheek.
"You didn't even get my lips." I say rolling my eyes.
"Aww are you lips jealous? You know what I did get though. A little sigh." Seth says smirking at me. I purse my lips together and shake my head, I hook my legs around Seths torso tugging at his top pleadingly.
"Someone's in a mood." Seth says grinning in victory. Tugging his shirt down further. I pout at him.
"Just so I can admire your perfectly carved body." I say with a roll of my eyes.
"With me just for my looks are we?" Seth asks tutting his head.
"Having nightmares about our relationship are you?" I ask him in response.
"No. You be a pig and I'll still date you. Only because you'd make good bacon." I say with a smirk.
"Guess she doesn't want my shirt off then." He says with a sigh. I roll my eyes and twist my fist into the top of his shirt, pulling him down to me, our lips colliding.
Our bodies fit together like they were made for each other, binded by our merging lips.
I brush his hair away from his eyes with my finger tips, taking in its usual softness. He nibbles on my bottom lip, tugging it gently. I tug at the hem of his shirt as he pulls away.
"So bossy." He says shaking his head. I grin and pull the shirt over his head, tossing it across the room. Seth grins before his lips collide with mine again. As our mouths move together. I trail my fingertips up his back, over his shoulders and tracing down his defined torso.
"Cha- oh you two are." Molly says opening the door suddenly. Seth and I pull apart, our heads whipping to the door. Molly begins to close the door.
"What did you want Molly?" I ask her.
"I was just letting you know that Chase is here." Molly says pushing open the door again. Chase pops his head around the corner and waves.
"Hey Chase." Seth says with a grin, not moving from off me.
"Hey Seth." Chase says raising his eyebrows at Seth and I.
"Anyway. Keep it quiet. No nakedness please." Molly says shaking her head and closing the door behind her.
"Ok mom." I call out with a chuckle.
"No nakedness." Seth says raising his eyebrows at me, warningly.
"The shirt could stay off." I suggest with a small grin.
"Definitely only dating me for the looks." He says shaking his head jokingly.
"Well we know you definitely aren't just dating me for my looks." I say pulling a face.
"Nah your beauty is just a perk." He says poking out his tongue.
"You are a bit of a smooth operator aren't you." I say raising my eyebrows.
"Well you see. I've learnt from the best." Seth says nodding proudly.
"I know I taught you so well didn't I." I say with a smirk.
"Yeah yeah princess. C'mon let's get you some churros." He says rolling his eyes with a grin. He shifts off me, standing up and pulling me up after him. I look in the mirror and shake out my hair, putting the scrunchie off my wrist. Before retying it into a messy bun. I pull off my messy hoodie off, revealing a shite Nike sports bra I had chucked on this morning.
"Does no shirt go for you as well?" Seth asks hopefully, leaning against my doorway watching me.
"Perv." I say rolling my eyes at him. He grins at me.
"Says miss, leave your shirt off." He says rolling his eyes.
"Well a shirt is going back on." I say sifting through my closet.
"Here." Seth says chucking me his t-shirt I had discarded on the ground when I pulled it off him.
"Thank you." I say with a satisfied smirk, pulling it over my head. Before making my way downstairs.
"So when are you going to talk to Bea?" Seth asks me as we enter the kitchen.
"I was hoping to have chosen by today. Tomorrow at the latest." I say searching the cupboard for two glasses. I pull them out and open the fridge.
Seth pulls open a plastic container that he must have placed on the counter before he came up. Revealing a number of perfectly golden, cinnamon sugared churros.
"Wow. When he cooks AND bakes for you." I say grinning as I pull out some apple juice from the fridge.
Seths favourite.
"When she remembers your favourite juice." Seth says grinning to the beverage in my hand.
"I'm just good like that." I say with a smirk, pouring two glasses and sliding him the bigger one.
Seth gulps half of it down before pulling open the cupboard and grabbing our some Nutella. Scooping it into a small bowl and melting it.
While it's in the microwave Seth lifts me onto the bench, standing in between my legs, his hands resting on my waist gently.
"You really can't get enough of me can you." I say teasingly.
"Well..." Seth says teasingly, kissing me softly.
"And he says I'm mean to him." I say in between kisses.
"You are." Seth says. Before pulling away to attend to the beeping microwave.
He places the melted Nutella onto the bench and grabs a churro. Dipping it into the Nutella.
I open my mouth expectantly and he chuckles. Dipping the churro again and instead of putting it in my mouth he gets some on my nose, on purpose of course. Before he puts it in my mouth. I bite down on it and take the churro from him. He grins and licks the Nutella off my nose.
"You and your licking me." I say shaking my head then covering my mouth, realising how bad that sounded.
"Ok that was TMI." Molly says walking into the kitchen, Chase right behind her.
"I meant licking my face." I say elbowing Seth who has dissolved into a fit of laughter.
"Do you guys want some churros?" I ask offering the box. They both nod thankfully and take one each.
"Seth. Would you like another churro?" I ask him, he's doubled over laughing still, I try stop the smile threatening to envelop my fave at his glee.
I let out a few small laughs as his laughter slowly fades.
"I just love l-" Seth starts with a chuckle. I elbow him hard in the ribs.
"I just love Lacey." He finishes, sending me a smirk.
"That's damn right." I say sending him a warning look.
"Could you please pass me a churro?" Seth asks, a mischievous smile on his face.
I pass him one which he takes gratefully.
"So how long have you two been together?" Chase asks gesturing between us.
"Too long." I say with a fake shudder.
"Excuse me." Seth says his face fake hurt. I laugh as he picks me up over his shoulder and spins me around.
"They've been together for a little over a week." Molly informs Chase.
"Only a week. I mean took you two long enough to be honest." Chase says with a small chuckle.
Seth places me on the ground and raises his eyebrows at me warningly.
"Well we had to ignore the sexual tension for as long as possible. But Lace over here couldn't wait and just had to-" Seth starts. I elbow his ribs harshly. He chuckles at my annoyance.
"Stop. I don't need my little sister knowing every detail about our relationship thank you." I say raising my eyebrows at him.
"You tell her everything anyways." Seth says with a mischievous shrug.
"I don't see the lie." Molly says with a chuckle. I shoot her a 'help me out' look which she ignores
"Anyway. Enjoy these. I have a Bea to talk to." I say pulling out my phone and taking one last churro.
"No. I have to be PG around Bea and that's pain." Seth informs me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Aww you big baby." I say patting his cheek.
"Don't call Bea yet please. Just ten more minutes." Seth whispers pleadingly.
"Well since you convinced me so well. In ten minutes nothing more and then I'm asking her to come over. Got it." I say turning around to face Seth. His hands resting on my ass.
"Got it." Seth says with a smirk. Moving away from me and suddenly lifting me over his shoulder.
"You're going to break your shoulders." I say as Seth carries me with ease up the stairs.
"Your not that fat." Seth says with a snort.
"Wow thanks." I say with a roll of my eyes.
"You are welcome." Seth says chucking me onto the bed where I land with a bounce. He closes the door behind him and flops onto me.
"I'm just kidding. Your not fat at all. In fact are you eating alright your rib cage is quite visable." Seth says looking at me, his face contorting with worry.
"I'm fine. I'm eating normally." I say with a grin, touched that he cares so much about me.
"I love you." I say pressing my lips to his, resting my arms around his shoulders.
"I love you." He replies, nibbling on my bottom lip teasingly.
