Push You Back

Chapter 6

"Snacks in the bowls, Ice in the freezer, cups on the table." Greg says as Anya sits on the floor doing her makeup next to Rodrick who was on the sofa.

"Your party better be good." Greg tells his brother.

"Our party, little bro." Rodrick says making Anya smile the door bell rings making them get up.

"Wait! we need chairs from the basement." Rodrick tells Greg as Anya walks to the kitchen.

Anya walks back out from the kitchen putting plates down as loud music plays through the house.

"Where's Greg?" Anya asks Rodrick as he talks to the first few people who came.

Rodrick walks away from the people and walk towards her.

"He went somewhere with Rowley." He tells her making her nod.

"You think you can do my eyeliner?" He asks her making her nod.

"Come on." She says pulling him to the kitchen.

Anya sits on the kitchen counter as she grabs her eyeliner out of her make up bag.

Rodrick stands in front of her legs as he close his eyes.

"Okay don't open your eye for any reason." She says chuckling.

"Stop blinking." She says as she starts doing his eyeliner. "I'm trying." He says laughing. Anya hummed the song that was playing in the background.

"Andddd done." She says as he opens his eyes and she hands him a mirror.

"Looks good on you, you should start wearing it for gigs." She tells him.

"Thanks Anya." He says as she puts her stuff back into her makeup bag.

Anya looks back at him smiling as they make eye contact. Rodrick smiles at her feeling his heart beat faster.

They both look at each others lips but reject the temptation not knowing each others thoughts.

They both hear the doorbell making them back away. Realizing how close they were.

Anya clears her throat as Rodrick helps her get off the counter.

"We-we should go back." Rodrick says making her chuckle.

"Yeah we should." She says as she walks away.

"You look pretty." Rodrick says quickly.

"What?" Anya asks over the loud music.

"Uh I said you look shitty yeah okay come on let's have fun Anya!" He says quickly walking where everyone is.

Anya smiles to herself knowing he didn't actually say that.

"When our band is huge, We'll have parties like this every night!- But they'll be backstage parties!" Rodrick tells his friend.

"Sweet! We'll get to go backstage." His friends responds making Rodrick give him a look.

"Hey look Anya's talking with a guy. Looks like he's flirting with her." Rodricks's blond friend said pointing towards her across the room.

Rodrick looks where he points frowning seeing Anya smile and laugh. He starts to walk away from his friends but suddenly the phone rings gaining Rodricks attention away from Anya.
