Adeline Carter's POV

I wake up...

But not in my bed.

I sit up and I look around.

^^ Matéo's room.

I feel myself flush, vaguely remembering being carried from the couch, after James managed to kick me out of bed.

I look next to me, and Matéo isn't there.

Behind the door across from me, I hear water running.

He must be taking a shower.

I get up and stretch, excusing myself to go to my room, before he gets back.

I walk into my room, to see that me and James are the only ones in my room and it's a state!

Drinks cans everywhere!

Popcorn pieces stuck to the carpet!

Sweet and chocolate wrappers...

I'll clean it after school I don't have time right now.

I catch sight of the little piglet, named James and walk up to him smacking his forehead with a vengeance.

"Ahh fuck!" he says, starting to cuss.

I ignore him and walk into my bathroom and brush my teeth.

Now, I'm in the shower, trying to wash away any traces of sleep.

I hate being tired at school! It means that I can't even concentrate on my work.

I'm in a bad mood now...

A very bad mood.

I quickly get dressed and trudge down the stairs.

^^ Adeline's fit.

I ignore the havoc in the kitchen and pour myself some coffee from the machine.

I glance up as Matéo walks in and carry on drinking my coffee.

"Good morning, amoré" he says, kissing my forehead.

"Mhm" I respond, sluggishly.

He chuckles at me.

"Not enough sleep?" He asks.

I'm about to tell him not to ask obvious questions, but then I remember what happened when I did that the first time...

He chuckles again.

"I'll drive today" he insists.

"Your friends can drive in their cars" he says. I nod.

"Whatever" I respond.

He shakes his head and grabs my coffee out of my hands before taking a massive gulp.

He swallows it and I punch him hard in the stomach,making him splutter and choke.

Damn right.

He just stole my daily dose of caffeine!

Now I have to buy one!

I storm out of the kitchen and grab the keys off of the counter.

"James! Belle! Time to go! We'll be late!" I yell up the stairs.

Before I can open the door, I feel a hand grab my wrist and spin me around.

I come face to face with a very annoyed looking Matéo.

"The hell are you thinking, punching me?" He asks.

I scoff and turn to walk away, but he spins me around and slams me against the front door, holding me still.

"I just asked you a question, Adeline" he growls.

My heart skips at the fact that he just used my actual name, instead of an annoying or cute pet name.

"That was my coffee!" I whine childishly.

He grins. "Baby, you know I can just buy you a new one" he says gently, releasing my arm.

"No, I wanted that one!" I say adamantly, pouting.

He chuckles.

"I'll make you another one that's even better, okay? Or I'll buy you one on the way like I do every morning" He tells me.

My mood suddenly gets better.

"Promise?" I ask hopefully.

"I promise" He says kissing me gently.

He pulls away and I smile happily.

"Let's go!" I say.

He chuckles softly and opens the door for me.

We get going as soon as Belle and James get there.

Maria and Grace take too long, so we leave them behind.

I sit in the passenger's side and fall asleep almost immediately.

***

When I wake up, I say a quick goodbye to Matéo and run to the bathroom with Belle, close behind.

I walk in and take my toothbrush out of my bag.

Yes, I carry a toothbrush.

When I'm out in public I tend to get a little conscious about my breath and teeth.

I go into the cubicle to pee and then suddenly realise...

"Ah, fuck!" I mutter.

"What?" Belle asked.

"I've started my period" I tell her groggily, sleep still kicking my ass.

She sighs.

"That explains your mood today" she says, throwing a pad over the door.

It hits me on the head and drops into my lap.

"What do you mean, mood?" I ask defensively.

"You nearly decked Matéo this morning, what do you mean?!" Isabella asks me.

"I did what?!" I nearly shriek.

I groan, remembering that when I'm half asleep, my temper goes from 0-100 real quick.

Ok, time to avoid him until I'm not burning with embarrassment and then apologise.

Matéo Santiago's POV

Ok, what is going on?

She's been ignoring my texts, dodging my calls and been staying away from me like I'm a disease!

Have I done something wrong?

I go and find the one person that can help me in a situation like this...

James.

                            ***

"So she has her period, so she's a bit.." I start but I'm cut off.

"She's embarrassed that she punched you. And when she's half asleep, she's demonic" He says with a laugh.

My heart warms.

Is that all this is...?

I think that she forgets that I'm surrounded by women.

I stay out of the house when, they're all on their periods because they are dangerous!..

She is so adorable!

"Thank you James" I say.

He shrugs.

"Only for one of my girls." He says, running his hand through his blonde hair, walking into college, hands in his pockets.

I chuckles softly and start scheming...
***

Adeline and I got home, a few hours ago.

She's been banished to her room by our mothers to wrap up warm and watch some tv.

I walk up the stairs and into her room without knocking and hand her what must be her third cup of coffee, today.

Her face lights up as she takes it.

"Aw, Matéo, you didn't have to actually do it" she giggles.

I grin and say nothing.

I walk out and return with a basket full of sweets and chocolates and paracetamol and tissues.

She gasps as I give it to her and her reaction is enough to make me extremely happy.

She stares at me as I sit on the bed to watch Disney movies with her.

I wrap my arms around her cajoled body and she rests her head on my shoulder.

She kisses my neck a couple of times and creates a few hickeys along the way.

I smirk at her form of payback and I realise that she must be feeling a little...

On edge, because of her period.

The fight to remain a gentleman, like I was raised, is a complete struggle.

Even more of a struggle when she decided to lay on my lap, her face entirely too close to my groin.

I play with her hair until she falls asleep and then I turn off the tv.

I feel myself dozing off until I fall asleep too.
