27. Find Her

"Come on" I gave Mason my hand. He kept his in mine with a confused look. We were all currently sitting on the couch watching movies.

I pulled his hand making him stand and played soft music in the background. He smiled understanding what I am doing and danced with me. Watching us dance Blake and Chris paired up dancing.

"We are dancing better than you" Chris snarled.

"Okay" I shrugged and continued dancing. Arguing with him is a waste of time. Blake and Mason laughed out loud watching Chris's stiffen face.

The door of the movie room opened and in walked my mom and dad, carrying four bowels of popcorn and many snacks.

"Oo come on let's dance too" dad said excitedly. They placed all the snacks on the table and joined us. Mason lifted me up and spinned. Eyeing us Blake lifted Chris but while spinning their legs somehow got tangled causing them to fall and us to laugh.

"Ouch" they muttered together, one holding his head and the other holding his leg.

I watched as mom eyed dad, having serious eye conversation. 

"Don't expect me to do that" dad shrugged to which mom pouted and continued to dance normally. We went in circles and exchanged our partner now and then. It was fun.

Later we snuggled into blankets watching horror movies, with a lot of convincing might I add as I am not 'old enough' to watch it. I sat next to dad with Blake beside me and mom on the other side of dad. Chris and Mason in a different couch.

After a few minutes the movie felt boring as they was not much scary scene so i snuggled into dad's side closing my eyes, might as well get some sleep. After a few minutes when I was in half asleep and half awake dad lifted me and placed me on his lap. I held into his collar and rested my head on his shoulder and fell into a deep slumber. Holding the shirt collar is kinda my habit while sleeping.

"Wakey wakey" I heard someone say by constantly poking my arm.

"What" I muttered with my eyes closed.

"I want ice cream, you wanna join me" I heard Chris say. Hearing the word ice cream I immediately sat up.

"Let's go" I said excitedly.

"Shhh" he covered my mouth placing his finger on his mouth. "Mom and dad are sleeping don't wake them up"

"Okay. Let's go" I whispered and held his hand getting down from the bed. I was currently in my parents room.

Chris gave me a piggy back ride to the kitchen where we tip toed to the fridge to grab some ice cream. We took two tubs each of blackcurrant flavor, our favourite. We settled between the kitchen island and the stove so that we won't be noticed if anyone walks in.

"So did you ask Savannah on a date?" I asked. Savannah is Chris's crush since childhood. He had many other girlfriends but his heart never left Savannah.

"No" he replied sadly shaking his head. "I am scared of rejection. What if she says no then our friendship will also go in drain and I don't have the guts to do that"

"But she likes you too"

"You are just assuming. She didn't say that to you, did she?" He signed deep into thoughts.

"Well, she didn't. But her actions says so. Everybody can see it expect you"

"Hm hm. But what if" he shook his head again. "The mere thought scares me"

"Give me your phone" I held my hand out for him to place his phone which he did. I opened it and called her straight away.

"What the hell are you doing rhythm?" He said harshly.
