Afraid (Sawyer Fredericks Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

Ally's POV

I run back inside my house to quick get ready to dine with the Fredericks. I grab some nicer clothes and put them on. The one thing that I definitely need to do is go shopping. When we left I had to leave at least half of my clothes at the house, which included most of my nicer clothes. I look at the clock and see that I'm running out of time, if I'm going to make it to their house on time I probably will have to run there. Once again in this instance I could definitely use a golf cart or something. I knock on the Fredericks' old wood door and Sawyer appears at the door shirtless, he must have just taken a shower or something. I can't help but not stare. Like I always do to him, he snaps his fingers in front of my face.

"Remember... Staring isn't polite" He laughs.
I can feel my face burn in embarrassment. "Sorry" I mumble. Talk about an awkward moment. He leads me to the kitchen where his mom is cooking the food. She looks like she's cooking some kind of gourmet meal. I wish I was a good cook like her; the only thing I can genuinely make is mac and cheese. Since I have a lot more time on my hands because I'm not going to be attending a real school, I should probably practice cooking.
"Be right back." Sawyer says as he walks out of the kitchen. This is the first time I'm actually happy that he is leaving. That had to be one of the awkwardest moments of my life.

Mrs. Fredericks asks me to set the table so I start placing the plates and silver wear by the table. She finishes cooking shortly after. She calls the rest of the family to the table and we all start eating. Sadly Sawyer must have found a shirt to wear ;) About 30 minutes later everyone was done eating and we were all taking our dishes to the table when Sawyer asked me if I wanted to go fishing with him.

Sawyer's POV

At this point I think I'm just coming up with random things to do just to spend time with her. I was sitting at dinner trying to think of something fun to do with her when I got a perfect idea. We could go fishing; it will probably be hilarious since Ally isn't the kind of girl you'd think has ever gone fishing before. I plan on taking her to a pond that's a few minutes from here. It's a bigger pond, that my dad usually takes us to when we want to go catch some fish.

"Have you ever fished before?" I ask wondering.

"Nope." She says laughing. "If I catch a fish I will probably freak out, they're disgusting looking. Are they like slimy? Because if they are, I might just have a heart attack."

"You know Ally you're quite the dramatic person."I muse.

We reach the pond and I set up the poles that I found in the barn so we can catch some bigger fish like bass. I give one of the poles to Ally, and I keep the other one. When I hand her the fishing pole, she looks at it like it's some kind of foreign object that she's never seen before.

"Well this will be interesting." I joke.

"Shut up, we'll just see who gets the biggest fish." She laughs.

After a few casts I hear a reel start dragging like a lot of pressure is being put onto it. I look over to see Ally's fishing pole bending down in the water. No way did she just hook I fish.

"Reel, reel!" I yell

"I'm trying." She says as she struggles with the pole. A few seconds later a big fish appears on the surface of the pound.

Ally's POV
I scream when I see the fish it's massive.

"Sawyer oh my god, that fish is freaking huge. No way am I touching it." I yell. As I reel the thing onto the shore. It's flopping up and down likes it's having a seizure.

"Okay I will unhook it." He responds as he walks down to the shore and picks up the fish. I'd estimate the fish has to be at least 18 inches. He picks up the fish and holds it by its mouth and starts unhooking the lure. After he finishes unhooking it he starts walking towards me. This can't be good.

"You know, after you catch a fish you're supposed to kiss it." He beams.

I immediately reply "No way Sawyer, get that thing away from me!"

"Okay than" He says "It's either the fish or me."

He did not just ask me to kiss him. I want to kiss him... I just don't know if he is joking or not.

"Umm.." I respond my face is surely red as a tomato. "I really don't want to kiss the fish so I guess my only option is you." I mumble.

"Okay" He laughs winking at me. Still holding the fish he leans in to kiss me. I close my eyes and all of a sudden a feel a slimy fishy substance touch my lips. I open my eyes and scream. I'm face to face with the fish. I just kissed a fish oh my god. I wipe my mouth with my hand still freaking out.

"Sawyer!" I scream. "You just made me kiss a fricken fish! That's so disgusting."

He is laughing so hard that I think he is going to faint. He can't stop laughing, and pretty soon I'm cracking up to. His laugh is just too hilarious to not laugh along with it.

When I finally regain my breath I say "Sawyer you better put that poor fish back in the water before it dies."
He walks back to the pond and sets the fish back in the water. Just then I got my perfect idea for revenge. I run up behind him and push him and he stumbles and lands in the water. Now it's my turn to laugh. I laugh until I see him get up from where he is sitting in the water and walks towards me.

"Sawyer" I say sternly "Don't do it"

He runs up to me and grabs me by the waist, I try to get away from him but he is too strong. He carries me to the water and throws me into it. I land in the water and its freezing I scream bloody murder. Looking up I see Sawyer cracking up again. I get up and make my way out of the disgusting pond stomping my feet.
"Sawyer" I yell "I can't believe you did that!" I say laughing. Then I get a good idea and say. "I'm so mad at you, you're going to have to make up for it!"
"Well than what can I do to make up for it?" He says trying not to start laughing again.

"Well I think what you did with the fish was really childish, and the only way you can make up for it is by actually kissing me."

"I was going to kiss you anyway." He laughs as he walks towards me. My heart starts beating really fast. He leans in to kiss me and our lips connect. A few seconds later we pull apart.

"Do you forgive me?" He asks.

"Definitely" I laugh.

"Do you forgive me for pushing you into the water?" I question.

"No I think I'm going to need another kiss for me to forgive you for that." He chuckles.

"Okay" I laugh as I kiss him again.

"Am I forgiven?" I question again.

"Yup." He smiles. "Okay we should probably go now, I'm freezing."

"Okay lets go. I'm freezing too." I say.
