Honey, I Dare You!

VII.

^^^Asher (Austin Butler) is so cute.^^^

Once I'm home from my very stressful tutor session with Brooklyn I take a nice warm shower. When I exit my shower I pad over into my room and onto my bed. I see a light flash over to my left. My phone has been awakened. I have a text from 'Baby Daddy'. I snort when I find out its Brett. His text reads. "Hello baby girl. Hope I didn't get you into too much trouble."

I reply: "I'm in deep. Thanks a lot."

B: "Really? I'm so sorry. :("

O: "I'm kidding. They let me off with a warning. :)"

B: "Call me. I want to hear your voice."

I hesitate for a minute because I'm not usually the person to talk over the phone; I fear awkward silences and I fear my annoying stutter will make whoever I'm talking to laugh at me. I'm more of a texter. I think for another second before I dial up his number. For some odd reason I can't resist him. The phone rings for a short time before Brett answers it.

"Hey." He answers.

"Baby Daddy? Really?." I reply.

"I changed it during the movie." He laughs. "But on a serious note, I felt so horrible. I thought I got you in loads of trouble." He says.

"Yeah. I mean, no. I-nevermind." I respond.

"Don't be nervous to talk to me."

"It's just-I'm not really used to talking to guys so often."

"What about Gale? Think of me as Gale."

"But I've known Gale for a while. I've only known you for a week."

"True. I've known you for a week but I feel like I've known you for centuries."

"That's sweet." I blush so hard my cheek bones begin to ache.

"It's sweet because it's true." he says but I don't respond. "Maybe, we should hang out some more. What do you think?" he suggests.

"I'm not too sure yet. I'm a really busy person." I reply.

"Okay. I have a plan." I can hear him smirk.

"What do you mean?"

Before he can respond there is a knock at my door, "Levy..." My brothers call for me. "Brett, I have to go. My brothers need me. We will finish this discussion tomorrow at school." Brett says goodnight and I open the door to two worried faces.

"What's wrong?" I ask, kneeling down to them.

"Well, you know that scary movie mom told us we couldn't watch?" Nick speaks.

"Yes." I nod, "What about it?"

Chase steps in, "Dad told us that mommy didn't know what she was talking about and told us to watch it anyway and now we can't sleep."

"Oh, dad is in for it, tomorrow." I say with a grin, "You both can sleep with me tonight."

...

The transition from night to day happened too quickly. I stretch and turn over. My bothers aren't in my bed anymore. They've always been able to wake up way earlier than me with no problem and I envy their ability to do so.

I suddenly hear my mom's voice boom, "I can't believe you went over my head and let them watch that movie! On a school night!" I giggle. I roll out of bed and stroll to my bathroom for a shower with my outfit of the day (skinny jeans and a tank top) in hand. I put on some upbeat music before getting in. I can tell already that today is going to be a great day.
