There Is Only Love

Chapter 2

Andrea's POV
I walked inside the AR house with Ellie. The air filled with the smell of pizza. "Mmm. Pizza!" Ellie and I both said.
"Andrea!!!!" Blake shouted and ran to me. "Hey babe!" He shouted.
"My ear Blake!" I smiled. "Why are you so happy? I saw you literally a few hours ago!"
"Yea," he smiled. "I know, but I missed you and that beautiful smile of yours!"
I blushed. "Aw! Thanks Blake!"
"You two are so stinkin cute, it's ridiculous!" Ellie commented.
"Well, you know how we do." Blake said as he put his arm around my shoulder and smiled at me.
"Well, I'm starved. Are we gonna just stand here, or are we gonna eat?" I laughed.
"Well yeah! I'll fix your plate! You go join everyone and watch some tv, I gotcha covered babe." He said smiling.
"Blake, you still tend to make me blush and we've been together for 2 and a half years." I blushed.
"Yea, I know!" He laughed.
I joined Jayk, Drew, Ericka, Tc, and Devin in the living room for some tv. "What are y'all watching?" I asked them.
"Worlds Dumbest..." Devin answered.
Blake joined us and sat next to me. "Here's your pizza babe!"
"Aren't you going to eat?" I asked him.
"No, I already did." He laughed.
"Oh." It got quiet. With only the sound of the tv in the background.
"So! Let's talk!" Ellie said.
"About what?" Jayk asked.
"I don't know! Anything. We watch tv all the time and never just talk about anything."
"Good point." Jayk replied.
"Hey! Where's Bri?" Tc asked.
"She's next door at her house."
Why didn't she come with you guys?" He asked.
"I don't know, probably because she didn't know we were having a little pizza party." I replied.
"Well then, I'll just call her and tell her to come over myself." He grinned.
"You do that!" I said as I smiled and looked at Ellie. Who didn't even notice because I could tell she was in a conversation with Drew at the moment.

Drew's POV
I grabbed Ellie's hand and dragged her to our room we shared. "Woah, babe, what's going on?" She asked. I could tell she was worried, but not for the same reason I was.
I brought her to the room and shut the door. I walked to the edge of the bed and motioned for her to sit next to me.
"Drew. You're scaring me."
"Don't be, I just gotta talk to you." I said as I tried to calm her down.
"Drew, if you're breaking up with me, just do it and get it over with. Please."
"Breaking up with you?!" I said in astonishment. "No!!! Why the hell would I do that?"
"Well, hmm. I don't know. All these signs you're giving me feel as if you're leading up to it." She said turning her face from a sad expression to a calm expression.
"No, I just," I paused as I tried to figure out how to say it. "Ellie..." I walked to my drawer and pulled it open. I moved my clothes around and grabbed the jewelry box that was in the bottom. I walked back to the edge of the bed and sat next to Ellie. "It's not an engagement ring, but a promise ring. This ring is to let you and everyone else know that you are my one and only. It's a promise to you that I will always be here. I know I'm the type of guy who's not the 'serious' type, but I just want to give you this." I paused and waited for her reaction.
"Drew!! It's beautiful!!!! I love it!" She hugged me and we shared a kiss.
"You don't mind that it's not an engagement ring?" I asked her.
"Drew. No, I don't mind. I just care that I'm with you and this is a reminder that I have the best guy in my life. We'll do an engagement when we're both good and ready!"
I smiled as she hugged me again. "You are absolutely amazing." I blushed a little.
We both stood up and I opened the door. We walked into the living room as we held each other's hand.
"Oooooo!! What did you two lovebirds do?!" Bridget asked us.

Blake's POV
"Yea, what were you two up to?" I asked them. Ellie held up her hand to show everyone the tiny rock on her finger. "Whaaaaat?" We all shouted.
"It's absolutely freaking gorgeous Ellie!!!!" Andrea and Bri ran to her and checked out the ring.
"It's not an engagement ring, but it's the next best thing." Ellie smiled.
"Blake!" Andrea turned to look at me. "Got any ideas??" She laughed.
"Um, not yet anyway." I blushed and winked at Andrea as I smiled. She giggled and walked next to me and put her arms around me. I hugged her tightly.
We went back to the living room and I sat beside Andrea. We cuddled on the couch. I saw her shiver so I grabbed the blanket next to me and laid it over her. "Thank you Blakey." She said smiling.
"Let's put in a movie!" Devin shouted.
"What movie?" I asked curiously.
"Um, a scary one." He grinned.
"Sounds good to me!" Bridget smiled and looked at Tc. I could tell he felt something for her the way he smiled back at her. "Hm.." I shrugged.
Devin put in the movie Insideous and turned all the lights out.
"Ooooooo freaky!" I said jokingly and me and Andrea laughed.
An hour passed and I could feel Andrea's head slowly droop onto my chest. I smiled because I thought it was so cute how she always fell asleep on me every time we watched a movie together. The movie finally ended and all the girls were passed out. I grabbed Andrea and held her in my arms bridal style. I walked her to our bedroom and laid her on the bed. I pulled the covers over her and she slightly woke up. "Is the movie over?" She asked in a raspy voice from being asleep.
"Yea, you fell asleep so I brought you to bed."
"Okay," she smiled.
"Get some sleep babe, we got a big day tomorrow."
"Okay," she smiled and I leaned down to kiss her goodnight.
I walked into the living room to see Tc, Jayk and Devin whispering in the dark since Bri was still asleep. "Where's Drew and Ellie?" I asked.
"Went to bed." They replied.
"Okay, I'm headed down that same path. See you guys in the morning. Night!" I shouted quietly.
"Night!"

Tc's POV
"So, how are you gonna get her up?" Jayk asked.
I grinned. "I don't know, she's so cute when she's asleep." I nudged her. "Hey," I said quietly. She woke up slowly. "Are you staying here tonight?"
"Umm, sure..." She paused. "Wait! No! I gotta go home!"
She got up and grabbed her stuff. "Do you want me to walk you home?" I asked.
"Um, no! Jayk, walk me home!"
"Yea! I'll do that."
Jayk and Bri walked out the door. I looked at Devin. "Should I be worried?"
He laughed. "Ha! No, trust me, it's fine." He grinned and patted my back. "Don't worry." He paused. "Well, goodnight!" He walked off to his room.
I waited up for Jayk so that I could lock the door when he got in. "Dude, it's been ten minutes. Come on..." I called his phone. "Yo! Are you coming? I gotta lock the door."
"I got my key, go ahead."
"Okay..." I questioned as I hung up the phone.
I walked to my room and laid on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling and thought for a bit. 'Well, I'm about to be 23 in a few minutes. This is wild.' I thought about Bri for a minute. 'If she likes me like everyone says she does, then why does she keep running for Jayk?!' 'I'm really liking this girl and I'm not even sure she's into me, why the hell would she ask Jayk to walk her home right after I JUST said I would?' 'What is going on with this girl??' I had several thoughts running through my mind and they were all driving me insane. 'Is she ever just going to tell me how she feels?!' "Ugh!!!!" My eyes finally began to droop and I was asleep.
