The Search for Paradise
Chapter Twenty-FiveMatt's point of view
I
woke up at about 4:30 in the morning and somebody was lying
next to me with their arms around me. I turned and then I dimly
saw Penny's flawless face in front of mine. She was asleep.
I looked around, and the glass doors on the other side of my
room were cracked open a tiny bit. Of course.
I kissed the top of her nose very softly, trying not to wake
her, then grabbed the blanket next to me and pulled it over us
so we weren't so cold.
I dropped my head back down on the little bit of pillow I had,
since Penny and practically stole it from me, and fell asleep
not too long after that.

I woke up sometime later, and it was bright outside. I sat up
and looked around.
Oliver was gone.
Then I suddenly heard the faucet in my bathroom turn on. I
stood up and cautiously walked over to the door. Then the door
flew open and then Penny ran right into me, knocking us onto
the floor.
"Well, hello, Matt," she laughed.
"Good morning to you, too," I chuckled.
Before she could get up, I crashed my lips onto hers, pulling
her to me. She laced her arms around my neck and kissed me
back.
She pulled away too soon, and stood up.
"Come on, Laura made breakfast, and everyone else is
probably eating without us," she whined.
"Nah, let's just stay down here," I joked.
"Hah, no. I'm just gonna leave you here then,"
she said in a matter-of-fact voice and started toward the door.
She glanced at me over her shoulder, and kept walking.
I groaned and stumbled out the door after her. She turned
slightly and saw me coming, then took off down the hall. I ran
after her and chased her up the stairs where I caught her by
the waist, making her squeal.
"Would you two knock it off and come eat?" I heard my
mom call.
"We're coming," I told her, trying not to laugh
too hard.
