But How?

Chapter 6: Just Us

Today is Saturday, its raining. My parents have a meeting out of town, they will be back tomorrow afternoon. I have nothing to do today, only, I think I'm going to have a Harry Potter marathon. I looked for my phone that was buried in all my blankets. I typed in my password, 2-6-5-3, it spells Cole. I know, call me cliché. I searched for Coles' contact and called him, it's 8:16, he should be done his early morning workout.

"Hey, babygirl" he answered playfully.

"hey, what are you doing today?"

"why don't you tell me" I could hear the smirk on his face through the speaker.

"Well, all I have planned for today is get some Nutella from Target and then watch Harry Potter all day." I informed him.

"I'm already in town, I'll get you your Nutella. How many jars?"

"5"

"Are you PMSing? If you are then I'll get you Starbucks too." he said sympathetically.

"If I'm not will you get me Starbucks anyway?"

"Only for you." he cooed "I'll be there in 42 minutes." he promised

"I'll be waiting. I love you"

"love you too, gorgeous"

I got out of bed, walked to my bathroom. I stared in the mirror for a few seconds before starting all of the morning girly things. I washed my face, brushed my hair, brushed my teeth, moisturized, all the jazz. I didn't put on any makeup because it's just Cole, I'm not going anywhere. I put my hair into a messy ponytail and walked back into my room. I picked out a black sports bra, a pink V-neck t-shirt and gray sweatpants. I walked downstairs, grabbed an apple and scrolled though all my social medias while I waited for Cole. soon after I had finished my apple and looked at every social media twice, I heard someone open the door. That would be Cole.

"Hey, Shorty!" I speed walked into the foyer holding my arms to hug my much beloved boyfriend. and then I snatched my Nutella and Starbucks.

"I love you so much, you know that?!" I cooed. "How much do I owe you?"

"A kiss... with a butt grab" he smirked.

"deal" I only said that because it's still early and I don't feel like protesting. "I'll go get on Harry Potter if you want to make popcorn."

"okay" he said. I got out my Harry Potter set that my brother, Ezra got me for Christmas. As I finished setting up the first film, I heard Popcorn popping in the kitchen.

"hey" I said, entering the kitchen.

"Hey" he replied. "I'll take that butt grab now!"

I sighed dramatically. Placed my Starbucks on the counter, open my arms for a hug and I rolled my eyes at him. He softly smiled against my lips, sliding his hands down to my butt. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like this. As we pulled away the popcorn stopped popping, signaling it was ready to be topped. I grabbed two bowls from the cabinets as Cole got out the popcorn out of the microwave.

"Why do you have two bowls?" Cole questioned.

"Because I highly doubt you like vinegar and hot sauce on your popcorn." I stated.

"You're weird"

"And you aren't?" I half stated, half questioned

"Good point" he agreed.

We topped our popcorn, grabbed some water bottles, went to the bathroom before we sat down to start our Harry Potter marathon. I pressed play and positioned myself in the perfect cuddle position. And then I realized I forgot something.

"THE NUTELLA!" I screamed, scaring Cole. I speed walked into the kitchen, pulled out two spoons, and thought about how many jars to bring into the living room. I didn't know so I brought the whole bag. I placed a few jars on the coffee table.

perfect.

I pulled the coffee table forward, repositioned myself-half on top of Cole. I opened the Nutella and sighed.

"Are you ready now?" Cole asked.

"huh?.... oh, yes"

We sat through the entire movie without moving, only when I got up, did I realize how much I needed to pee.

"I need to pee, can you set up the next movie?" I asked Cole

"Ya, sure. Which one is the next one called?" he asked so incredibly, innocently. My face dropped.

"Are you kidding me? How are we even dating?, What are you doing with your life if you don't know the order of Harry Potter?" I scolded. Cole stood up, grasping my shoulders.

"First, calm down. Second, no, I'm not kidding you. Third, we're dating because we love each other. Forth, I would much rather spend my time thinking about you than the order of Harry Potter". He charmed his way out of that one... "Now, which one is the next movie?"

"Chamber Of Secrets" I said, running towards the bathroom.

When I came back, everything was set up perfectly. And Cole was shirtless. Oh my goodness, this is beyond the perfect day. I walked over to the couch and positioned myself in a comfy position again and pressed play.

"Why the lack of a shirt?" I asked, while skipping the previews.

"I was hot. why else?" Cole questioned, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Jesus!" I cringed.

"Yes?" he smirked. That awarded him a slap on the leg. He chuckled.

I soon got to the main menu and pressed play. I grabbed the almost empty jar of Nutella to eat during the movie. I'm going to the gym with Cole tomorrow, so I don't feel as bad. I realized that I had zoned out of the movie for like 5 minutes so I zoned back in. Chamber of Secrets kind of creeps me out because I hate snakes. I snuggled a bit more into Cole, not because I was scared, because I really love cuddling. He placed his hand on my back. I rested my head on his bare chest and matched our breathing. I concentrated on his body heat, causing me to release all the tension in my body. I saw the little smile on Coles' face even though I can't see it. I grew tired and let sleep take the better of me.

*-*-*-*-

"No mom... Yes I'll be careful... If any guy touches me Cole will most likely bash their face in... Thank you! I love you mom!" I hung up and turned around to face Cole who was sitting on my bed.

"I can go to the party!" I half shouted to Cole. "What will I wear?"

"Something that says 'I'm here to have a good time but I have a 2am curfew' I go to this guys party all the time. I don't want you wearing something like those girls wear." Cole said protectively.

"Pshh, ok, Dad" I mocked

"How about I pick out what you'll wear while you go do your hair and makeup."

"Only because you're good at picking out my clothes." I gave him a quick peck on the lips, grabbed my phone and walked to the bathroom. I plugged my phone into my iHome and played my favourite playlist. Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield played quietly through the speakers, but not for long... I soon was blasting this song for long enough, that Cole walked into the bathroom to turn it down a bit. I just turned it back up. Then Cole flipped me off. I chuckled, he's more into 80's rock, not 80's pop

I had done a smokey eye with loose waves. my go-to party look. I skipped into my bedroom to see my paint splattered dress, a black leather jacket, and black high heeled booties. Gosh I love that boy. I put on the outfit he had chosen for me and then I examined the outfit in my full length mirror.

"Sexy" Cole smirked, leaning in the doorway.

"First, you know I hate it when you call me that. Second, you are looking pretty smokin' yourself!" I winked.

"So, are you ready for the best party of your junior year?"

"You bet!"
