Rude or Smooth? Chapter 6

We had just begun to watch the first of the Fast and Furious movies when my mind started to wander. I was still confused on why Radley wanted to be my friend, I can not get my hopes up though. I just need to be his friend and ignore these feeling, then maybe when he doesn't have a girlfriend I can tell him how I feel.

We silently watched the movie together, but we sat on complete opposite ends of the couch. Although we were sharing a blanket that was on the couch when I sat down, it was long enough for us both to have our legs covered. It was a soft teal blanket that had short material fur on it, in certain areas the tip of the fur was died black to create a zig-zag pattern. I felt a warm touch on my foot and jumped a little looking over at Radley who didn't seem to notice the contact. I relaxed a little and left the little bit of contact still together, this is as close as I can get.

When the movie ended I watched Radley as he slowly got off the couch. He turned and rolled off of it onto the ground and slowly stood up. I laughed at his action which made him give a smile and a chuckle my way, I laid my face into the couch to hide the blush that quickly flooded my cheeks.

"Do you want Chinese food or pizza?" 

I turn my head to see Radley on his phone watching me for a response.

"Ummm, Chinese food. Please?"

He nodded and smiled as he turned his back to me and ordered our food.

"They deliver?"

I had not heard of Chinese restaurant delivering in our town before.

"No, but my brother works there so he brings it to me when I ask."

I nod and lean my back on to the couch. I close my eyes and feel the couch dip besides me. I open my right eye and look over at Radley who was looking at me.

"Umm, thanks for ordering me dinner."

"It's nothing, when my brother comes by he might ask some question. You can ignore him if you want."

I see him smile and look toward the television.

"So um, Radley how long have you and Paula been together?"

I see him turn towards me and smile, I let out a huff while he begins to reply.

"Well not very long I guess, maybe a few months?"

I try to keep up the smile while listening. I wanted to change the conversation topic right away.

"Oh... Well that is qualified as awhile. Does your brother look like you?"

I see his smile waver then return, Maybe I saw wrong, but when I looked at his eyes I could see an emotion and it did not match his smile.

"Oh well, we look similar, but we are from different fathers. You will see when he gets here. I think his shift ends so he will stay awhile."
