Together

Chapter 13

Stef's POV

When we got back to my house after I picked Lena up, she took her sweater off and hung it on the hooks next to my front door.

"Too warm?" I asked, seeing her take it off.

"No, I'm fine." She smiled.

It was so awkward. This was the first time we had been completely alone in my house. I didn't know what to do...what to say...

"I've never seen your room." She blurted out.

"That's true. How about a viewing right now?" I asked, taking her hand.

"That would be wonderful." She said, taking my hand too and following me up the stairs.

"Well, this is it. Not very interesting." I laughed as we entered my room.

My bed was on the furthest wall, and my closet on the opposite wall.
There were some dirty clothes on the floor in the corner, which would've been picked up if I knew I was going to have guests.
Pictures of friends and family sat on my desk at the end of my bed.
There was an average sized TV over my desk, which I only used sometimes, as it was old and occasionally stopped working.

"I like it!" She said.
She sat on my bed, and my stomach did a back flip.

I sat next to her.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" I asked.

"Oh I don't know." She replied.

"Well how about a night in? We can get a pizza, watch a movie, or not watch a movie, we could play a board game, unless that's too cheesy we could sit outside and just talk and-"

"Stef." She interrupted me. "A night in sounds perfect."

She smiled and kissed me on the lips.

"Good." I blushed.

-------------------

"Yeah, one large pizza. Half cheese half pepperoni." I told the man on the phone taking my pizza order.

"Thank you." I continued, and hung up.

"Let's watch this!" Lena yelled from the living room as she looked through the movies.

When I walked in, she was holding up a DVD of "The Princess Bride".

"I love that movie!" I exclaimed. "It's one of my favorites. Way up there with "Grease" and "The Sandlot"".

"So you wanna watch it?!" She asked.

"Of course I do!" I smiled. "The guy said the pizza should be here in about 20 minutes. Do you wanna sit outside while we wait? It's beautiful out."

"Sure!" She got up and we started to walk outside.

About 25 minutes later, I paid the guy who showed up in my driveway and he gave me the pizzas.

"So how about that movie?" I asked as we walked back into my house.

"Sounds good!" She ran to the living room and started putting it in the DVD player.

"Wait....Lena?" I asked, following her.

She looked up.

"How about we watch it on the TV in my room...?" I asked, treading lightly because I knew that she might be iffy about it.

"I thought that TV didn't work?" She said in the form of a question.

"Well it doesn't, but movies usually work. Cable sometimes sucks." I laughed.
