Love Under the Autumn Leaves

Chapter Two

We end up meeting up beside the sports building. I still have my cleats on and I'm talking with Scarlett about tryouts next week, and about how nervous we are about it. We turn the corner and that's when I see her, those beautiful green eyes, shining in the sun, making her look ethereal. My breath hitches as she brings up a towel up to her neck and gives me a quick smirk. "Hey Angel" she says, winking at me. I go red in the face and turn away. I whisper a hi and look back at her. I've never liked my name much, it's such a basic bitch girl name, but hearing my name roll off her tongue made the butterflies in my stomach try and fly up my throat, making me a little lightheaded. She knocks on my head a bit,"You there nerd?" I look up at her and blush a bit.

"Yea im here, just thinking about something" someone, i think looking away.

She gives a quick nod to my feet with a questioning look. "You gonna walk in those? Can't be comfortable." she cringes. I laugh, hard. "OMG no way you think these are uncomfortable? They so are man i get them fitted to be perfectly so i can run with no problems." I double over, laughing till i cant breathe. She looks over at me with a look I can't quite place. "Well if your ready lets go, Dimples." My heart trips. I nod shyly, following her to her car. She tells me her house isn't too far so it won't be hard to get there. Nodding, I gave her my phone to put her address in my maps app. She hand it back flashing those pretty perfect teeth. "I'll see you in a few minutes, dimples."

Trip, Trip, Trip.

I get in my car putting on some quick music and rolling my window down. I follow the address on my phone and it brings me to a large house, a pretty shade of white with a large driveway and front yard. Looking around I can tell that her parents take very good care of their home. I park behind her and follow her into the house. Her mom introduces me."This is Angel Ingram mom, she's here to work on a project" Her mom looks me over giving a warm smile.

"Are you sure that's not all Eve, she looks like a beautiful young lady."She says winking. My face quickly goes red, and I cover my face with my hands, squealing. "OMG mom no she's just a friend. Not everyone I bring here is a girlfriend." Evelyn says, rolling her eyes, pink dusting her cheeks. "I'm just joking sweetie." she turns to me" it's nice to meet you angel. Make yourself at home ok sweetheart?" I nod, averting my eyes away. As I turn away from Eve and her mother, Eve whispers something to her mother, and her mother nods giggling. We go upstairs shortly after, taking 2 steps at a time giggling the whole time up. Coming up to her room I see a shrine of trophies, from what I'm guessing, 3 different sports. I look them over, questioning out loud," You did horseback riding?" I look behind me just in time to catch a glimpse of her rolling her eyes. "I still do, just not often. I used to every day, but I hit middle school and decided what sports I wanted. I still compete just not often." She chuckles. I grin," That's,like, so cute, like actually I love that." I look away. "SHIT" I suddenly yelled. She comes up beside me quickly, "What happened? Are you ok"

I put my head in my hand and say, embarrassed,"I forgot to text Jemma." She grabs my hands and pulls them down smiling." she gently says,"I already texted her, it's ok dimples." My breath hitches and pink dusts my cheeks. Looking at those bright emeralds I can't help but be jealous of whatever girl has got to look into them. I blurted out suddenly," Are you taken?" She quakes an eyebrow," No. Why? You're trying to ask me out" she winks. I squeal and wave my hands, "NONONOIWASJUSTASKINGSOEVENIFIGETTHEWRONGIDONTMAKESOMEGIRLMADBECAUSEIMNOTTHATTYPEOFGIRLORATLEASTITRYNOTTOBE-" I get cut off with her hand around my mouth, while her other hand was behind my head. My eyes widen."Dimples, chill. I promise you if you liked me, it'd be perfectly ok. If you're gonna ask me out on a date I don't need you trippin over your thoughts. If you want me, tell me and I'll get back to you whenever." I nod, suddenly shy, looking away, not meeting her eyes. She lets me go as soon as a knock is heard on the door, with Jemma and Liam walking in talking. They sit and we start on the project, as I keep looking over at her occasionally. After an hour or 2 my eyes keep fluttering close, and unable to stay up I slip into sleep. A few hours later I woke up in a bed that was not mine. Confused, I sat up, looking around. Seeing as I'm still in Eve's room I'm even more confused. I grab my phone and ITS 2 IN THE MORNING!!!! MOMS GONNA KILL ME! I check my text messages, quickly about to text my mom but seeing she already texted me. Reading the texts it says that I already asked to spend the night. I question how if I was asleep. Suddenly it hits me, Jemma. I guess she opened my phone and told mom. I look beside me and quickly cover my mouth. Beside me is an asleep Eve. She's not wearing anything but a bra and some shorts, with her hair down fanning over her pillow. She stirs in her sleep, and I wonder why. I get up and use the restroom. Coming back and lying down I try to be quiet and not wake her. After a few minutes I feel her grab me by the waist and pull me closer. I yelp and look at her. She whispers in my ear,"Chill dimples, it's ok, I'm not gonna hurt you unless you want me to." I yelp again,"Oh my god?!" she chuckles and just kisses the shell of my ear, making me shiver."Just go back to sleep dimples, we'll talk in the morning." I nod and after a few minutes I start to drift back off, engulfed in the smell of firewood and apples, and those bright green eyes.
