1. Hit or Miss

Chapter Twenty-Two

I finally got a chance to notice the cream walls that had various things hung up. Posters, fan art, knick knacks, and lovely displays of her buggies had peppered the room. I noticed a lovely mirror over the television and it was a very decent size. I looked to the floor and it had comfy carpeting and it matched the walls as well. Her couches I already was familiar with but still pulled the room together. They were pleather and darker to contrast the feel of making it warm. I followed her into the kitchen which was gorgeous even if the space was smaller than I imagined. Her stained oak cabinets had glass set in the doors. Her double oven matched the sink, fridge, and microwave and it had all been chrome. I loved the marble counters that offset from the walls that were a tiled backwash. She let me take a look at her's and Arin's wineglasses. They were a crystal and I gently put them back as to not break one. I tend to have butterfingers and want to try and not test them.

She spun almost now down the hall. Her room was amazing. The comforter was striped and it had tons of pillows. I realized most of them were decorated to match in some way. I looked for her permission and she nodded with a grin. Joining me in a fit of giggles, she flopped on the bed as I did. I sighed in comfort as I settled into her fluffy mattress. She looked at me and we laughed as Dan shrieked below us. We only heard "elevator" and then Ross screamed followed by thuds. I blinked as Suzy kept wondering what I was wondering. We both agreed to go see and halted the tour as we descended to the basement. I followed behind her and she stopped me at the bottom step. We were testing our sneaking skills right now. I tuned in and heard Arin talking.

"..Yeah, so how the hell, speaking of elevators, how in the fuckery did you get it to stop that long?!" Arin giggled after and I heard Dan next.

"Dude, I don't, I didn't, agh, fuck, I just hit the button and took a chance!" Dan sighed and I heard Ross.

"Oh man, so like, was she giving you the eyes?" Ross chuckled and I heard the other guys scoff.

"Uh? Whataya mean Ross? What eyes are you talking about? Like is there a set of eyes she keeps on her and is supposed to give to me?!" Danny rolled at Ross's attempt to ask a serious question.

"SHUT UP! The look like did she signal?!" Ross tried to apparently explain again.

"DUDE DID SHE LIKE TOTALLY TAKE LANDING FLARES AND SIGNAL YOU!?"Arin mocked Ross and Dan continued to gasp while laughing.

"Come on' Arin! I'm trying to ask if she made any signs-"Ross tried again

"YES, DANIEL DID SHE MAKE ANY SIGNS TO PICKET SHE WANTED YOUR DICK!" Arin cut Ross off. Ross made a noise that sounded like he was over trying to talk. Arin and Dan cooed at him that he was being a poor sport. I shook my head and Suzy rolled eyes at this. We continued to stand there and listen. Dan finally calmed down and continued.

"No, Ross, you ass, she gave no signal, she ultimately looked terrified because I was so fucking scared that I looked like I was freaking her out because my face was not full of fun sexiness. I probably bored into her soul and she took it as anything, but!" Dan sighed loudly and then added in, "My first thought was to ask, it felt so scary that I requested to know if it was okay. Is that lame?" He sounded like he was in high school. I was leaning on one wall of the staircase now and Suzy took the other so we could make faces over hearing their conversation.

"Oh dude, it's not lame actually. Like, you barely knew her, she seemed into you, but probably was still thinking she had no chance. I don't blame her really. I mean if you cornered me on an elevator I'd probably look like her as well!" Arin joked and I heard Dan curse.

"Okay, so um, do you really like, love her then? I mean clearly you care, but I'm just wondering." Ross asked more calm now and I now was full on listening. This was going to sound interesting.
