The girl from school

Chapter 6

"Hey," I hear Bella call out to me, as she comes walking up the stairs from the car park. "How are you?" She says, walking up the stairs to me.
"I'm good, great actually," I reply, embracing her at the top of the stairs, and giving her a small kiss, "have you got everything?" I asked
"Yep, pyjamas, pillows, all set" she said, lifting up her bag full of stuff "what about you, you got everything?" She asked me, curious.
"Yeah it's all inside, I've got the movies, movie food, everything's all set and ready," I said, "wanna come in and get set up?" I asked Bella, holding open the door.
"Yeah sure," she said, as she walked in through the door. It was already 7:39, so we both went and got changed into our pyjamas and got settled in the couch. We laid out all the food and stuff on the coffee table, and got comfy on the couch with the blanket and pillows. The first movie we watched was 'The Boy in Striped Pyjamas'. About thirty minutes in, I felt Bella's hand start playing with mine. I looked over to her, and our eyes locked onto each other's.
"Sorry..." she said, pulling her hand away from mine, "I didn't mean to.."
"Bella," I interjected, "it's fine, I actually kinda liked it." I said, and then moved my hand over to touch hers, and she resumed 'tracing' my hand with hers. Eventually, our fingers intertwined together, and our hands locked. I'd held hands with a girl before, but I tended to avoid it because I got really sweaty palms. This time was different, a lot different. It felt natural, a lot more laid-back, and we just held hands for quite a while. After a while, she lent her head down on my shoulder, and for a while I got distracted with the movie, and I jut started playing with her hair, just fiddling with it.
~Bella's POV~
I leant my head down against Mark's shoulder. I liked the way it made me feel. I felt safe with him, secure. Then, all of a sudden, he started to play with my hair. I didn't stop him, because, to be honest, I really liked it. It was adorable, how such a big guy like him, deep down had such a soft heart. I know it sort of sounds weird, like I knew him back when he was a scrawny little twig, and back then he was still super sweet. Now he was even sweeter. It was kind of funny, how he just say there playing with my hair a bit, brushing it with his fingers, but at the same time I loved it. I then decided to snuggle up to him a bit more, and we continued to watch the movie. I think some people underestimate how good it is to just be with someone sometimes. To just be able to cuddle with them, to be close with them.
~Mark's POV~
Shortly after our little cuddle, the movie finished, so I hopped up to get the next movie set up. On the way up, I accidentally knocked over some chips, so I went to the kitchen to go and grab the dust pan and brush. I eventually made it back, and Bella had put in the movie. Next up was 'Paranormal Activity'.
"You ready for this one?" Bella said. She knew I wasn't exactly a horror fan, and she was a big horror fan.
"Yeah, I'm sure it can't be that bad." I replied.
"Aha trust me, it is that bad." Bella shot back, trying to scare me. All I can say is it kind of worked.
"Well can we at least go back to our snuggle, so I don't get scared?" I said, trying to act cute.
"Yeah sure, it was nice as well." she said, as she laid down on the couch. I slotted myself in behind her, so we were in a half spoon, half snuggle sort of position, with the blanket over the top of us. I had my head up on my pillow so I could see over her, and she laid over my arm. I guess it would've been a spoon, and it was lucky because my arm just fitted into the little slot were the two couch pillows meet, so there wasn't any pins and needles. eventually I got sick of the movie, too scary, didn't like it. Thankfully, it felt like it was a short movie, so because Bella was at the front, we voted for her to get the movie ready. By voted I mean I made her.
"Ugh Mark your so lazy." she said, in a fake whinge voice.
"Yeah I so am." I said, and Bella started laughing her laugh again. I loved that laugh.
Eventually she got the movie set up, and we returned to our positions. Soon, I noticed Bella had fallen asleep in my arms, so I turned off the DVD player and went to sleep myself, with Bella lying there, in my arms.
