HEATHER | chapter 20

Taylor smiles as she looks in the mirror, it is halloween today and there's an party being held in some random guys house.

And they're going, she is satisfied with her costume. She is dressed as a cowboy.

Her outfit excists of black lwather pants with a belt, a black corset croptop, black cownboy boots and a cownoy hat. Her blonde hair is straightened and just kept down.

"Taylor! Ricky's here!" Her mom calls from downstairs.

She looks in the mirror one last time, quickly fixing a piece of hair before grabbing her purse and making her way downstairs.

"Hey." She giggles as she sees Ricky standing in her living room, dressed as an pirate.

"Hey." He says back, unshamefull letting his eyes wander over her. "You look pretty." He compliments.

"Thank you." She smiles. "Have to say I'm not a fan of the wig, but besides that I like."

"Yeah, it's very itchy." He chuckles. "Not sure how long it will stay on for."

She hopes not too long seeing she likes his natural hair way more.

"Ready to go?" He then asks.

She hums, nodding her head. "Yeah, let's go."

-

It's almost 12 and it is safe to say Taylor currently is very drunk, never walking around with a red cup filled with whatever alcoholic drank she could find or a shot.

Speakings of shots, she hadn't seen Ricky for a while when suddenly her hand was grabbed, and she is able to recognize the boy as he pulls her along.

"I found Lory!" He exclaims happily as he stops infront of their friends.

"About time!" Gina exclaims. "Now we finally can take the shots."

"Shots? I'm in!" Taylor excitedly says.

"I realized that as soon as I saw you almost fall over two times in the last 30 seconds." A clearly sober Ashlyn says.

Taylor shrugs her shoulders. "It's halloween! I'm allowed to be drunk!" She swings her hands around, almost hitting Gina in the face as the brunette brings her hand down.

"Okay, okay, Tay, Rick grab one!" Red points at the five glasses that is standing on a table.

Taylor leans forward, clumsily grabbing the closest to her.

"3,2,1."

Taylor throws her head back as the alcohol burns down her throat.

She laughs as she places the now empty glass back on the table. "Let's dance!"

Taylor pulls Gina and Ashlyn with her by their hands.

Ricky sighs as he watches his three friends dance between onther people, even though his eyes mostly are on the blonde.

"She's so pretty." He thinks out loud.

Red snorts. "It has been obvious you think that for a while now, Rick."

He shrugs his shoulders. "Because she is! Look at her! She is so pretty and sweet, and that costume looks so good on her, like-"

"I do not need to hear those thoughts of you." Red quickly cuts him off.

"Ricky!" The blonde whines. "Dance with me? Gi and Ashlyn left me for some girl and boy!"

Ricky smiles, clearly happy to be dancing with her. "Yay! let's go."

He grabs her hand, pulling the gifling girl with him.

They have been dancing for a while now, and she doesn't know why or how it happened but Ricky is leaning down towards her lips.

"Wait, Icky." He frowns, and it could be borh from that she stopped her or that she called him by the name he was called when they were younger.

"I really, really want to kiss you." He pouts. "Can I, Lory, please?"

She giggles. "Just-" Her hand rips the fake mustache he was wearing off, followed by the wig. "I couldn't take you serious while looking a little too much like captain hook."

He completely ignores what she is saying as he leans down, finally doing what both of them had been longing for ever since that night in the treehouse.

They pull away, only to dive right back in once they had enough air in their lungs.

Finally, they stop as Ricky's head still is leaned down, forehead resting against hers. "You've gotten better since we were 13."

She gasps, pulling away from him and repeatidly hitting his chest. "Asshole! Way to ruing the mood!"

He throws his head back, laughing as he tries to avoid her punches. "Taylor!"

She finally stops after he called her name multiple times.

He looks at her with an expression she can't quite reach. She frowns. "What?"

"Wanna go to my place?"
