HEATHER | chapter 16

It has been like 3 months now since Ricky and Nini broke up, and it seems like Ricky and Taylor are closer then ever.

They're attached by the hip once again, always together, texting when they are not and he still climbs trough her window for cuddles atleast once a week.

It feels like she finally had got her best friend back.

But it doesn't at the same time.

Ricky always had been a touchy person, she knows that, but now it seems to be twice as much.

Arms around her shoulder or waist, legs touching whenever they sit next to each other, holding hands.

And the forehead kisses, since he did that that night, he only did it more. When he did it for the second time she again got flustered, this time when he was awake. (He definetly was enjoying watching her get like that because of him.)

Let's not forget the tension, she is almost sure one time he leaned in to kiss her but then Red walked in.

Does he like her back? It sure seems like it, but she loved him for years, and not once did he love her back, so what could have changed?

"Tay!" Gina yells in her face.

She flinches, moving back with an hand on her chest and looks up at Gina who has her hands on her hips.

"Jesus christ, Gina." She breathes out.

"We have been asking you what movie you want to watch for ages now." Gina tells her.

"Aslong if it isn't Horror I'm fine with everything." She answers.

"Okay... RICHARD!" Gina then proceeds to yell, and Taylor now notices Ricky wasn't in the room with them.

"What?" He asks, walking in the room holding two bowls of popcorn.

"What movie we wanna watch?" She repeats.

"Ooh! Horror!" He yells excitedly, placing the bowls on the table before jumping next to the girl on the couch.

"3 against 2. We're watching horror, people!" Gina cheers.

Taylor groans, realizing her and Ash were the only ones to not choose horror.

Ricky looks down at the blonde before grinning. "You can hide in my chest like you always do."

"Sounds good to me." Taylor purses her lips, nodding her head.

After deciding what movie to watch (Taylor tried to convince them to watch Barbie instead) They all are settled on the couch with the intro credits playing.

They're like thirthy minutes into the movie, Taylor is clinging onto Ricky's arm, squeezing it like her life depends on it everytime she gets scared.

"Hey, Tay?" Ricky leans closer, whispering in her ear to not disturb the orhers who are currently into the movie.

"Hmm?" She hums back, ignoring the goosebumps going ober her body as his breath hits her skin.

"I'm gonna get something to drink. You'll be okay or are coming along?"

"I'll come." She says instantly, she isn't sure how she can watch the movie without Ricky's arm to cling on to.

He chuckles softly, already expecting the answer before standing up, Taylor following suit.

She only lets go of his arm once they made it into the kitchen.

"You doing alright?" Ricky asks as he opens the fridge to look for something to drink. "With the movie I mean."
