sleepover

"Don't call me cupcake."

"Ok miss attitude."

"Christopher I will beat you up."

"No balls."

I started running towards him and of course he started running. I eventually caught up to him and punched him in the arm a couple times.

"Pussy."

"Cute." Chris said all snarky like.

"Who's miss attitude now."

"Still you."

"Fuck off."

We went back to the other boys after fighting for another few seconds.

"Finally. You beat him up."

"Duh." I said while fist bumping Nick and Matt.

"No she didn't even hurt me."

"You liar you flinched and you know it."

"Whatever helps you sleep at."

"He did." I mouthed to the other two.

They both nodded knowing that Chris was lying and couldn't hurt his ego by telling the truth.

"So Liv do you have to ask your mom if you can stay here or what?"

"Oh ya, good idea. Chris can you drive me to my house?"

"Ya sure. Sure just let me grab a hoodie and my keys."

"Ok I'll go wait it the car."

I had gotten in the car when I realized that I left my phone inside. As I went to go grab it from Chris's room I overheard matt and Chris talking.

"When do you think he'll finally ask her out?" Matt whispered to Nick like he didn't want somebody to hear.

"I don't know hopefully soon. I mean he obviously likes her."

They must have been talking about Chris. I never knew Chris liked somebody. For some reason I felt kind of jealous. Oh well.

I grabbed my phone and went back out to the car, Chris not too far behind me.

"Ok so you're going to ask your mom and grab your stuff if she says yes right?"

"Ya fingers crossed."

We got to my house. I left the car while Chris stayed in there to wait for me.

"Hey mom." I said while entering my mom's bedroom.

"I was wondering if I could spend the night at the triplets house?"

"Did you do your chores?"

"Yes."

"Ok then you can go."

"Thanks mom I love you."

"Love you too." I grabbed my stuff and ran out to Chris.

"Hey sorry I took so long."

"You're good."

We got to Chris's house and I put my stuff in the house.

"So what do you wanna do now?"

"Oh! We should play Mario kart."

"Good idea."

"I know."

"Ok Nick we get it." We set up Mario kart and started playing.

"Nick you just threw that red shell at me. You bitch."

"Sorry not sorry." (😐 Rude.)

We finished our few rounds of Mario Cart when we decided to get some food. We ordered 2 medium pizzas, pepperoni and supreme, and waited for them to be delivered. The pizza came and we payed and tipped the driver and ate the pizza.

It was getting pretty late by that point so we thought that we would go upstairs and just chill for a little.

"Hey Liv come here." Chris said motioning me to sit next to him on his bed.

"Ok." I sat next to Chris while he opened TikTok on his phone. (We do this a lot).

"How many followers do you have on TikTok?"

"Like 20k why?"

"Just wondering." Chris was acting kinda weird but I brushed it off.

"Hey I think I'm gonna go to bed."

"Same Matt."

"Ok by boys."

"Bye."

Now that left me and Chris. We just chilled in his room for a little bit.

"Chris why is your room freezing?"

"Girl my room isn't cold you're just always cold."

"Ok fine but still."

"Here take this." He had handed me one of his hoodies!!! It even smelled like him too.

'Ok Lyla chill.' I thought to myself.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I hoped he couldn't see I was blushing.

Chris's pov

My bothers had went to bed, leaving me and Lyla alone together. I'm pretty sure they planned this but I wasn't gonna complain.

Me and Liv just chilled in my room watching TikTok on my phone.

"Chris why is your room freezing?"

'yes perfect opportunity' I thought to myself knowing I could give her one of my hoodies.

"Here take this." I said giving her a hoodie.

"Thanks."

"No problem." She was totally blushing, boosting my confidence in the process.

Lyla's pov

"Hey Chris?"

"Yes."

"Where am I sleeping?"

"You can take the bed and I'll take the floor."

"No I'll take the floor you have your bed."

"Ok how about we both just share the bed."

"Ok, we can do that."

I was mentally screaming. I could not wait to tell Kaitlynn about this.

We were still laying on his bed watching TikTok. I was getting pretty sleepy. I think he noticed because he had turned his phone off and wrapped his arm around me.

"Are you tired?"

"No" I said obviously lying.

"Don't lie. We can go to bed if you wanna."

"No we don't have to." I was interrupted half way through from a yawn, mission failed.

"You little liar. Go to sleep."

"Fine."

I was cuddled into his side almost asleep, when I heard him say. "I wish I had the courage to ask you out."

Oh my gosh.
