ER [wlw]

Chapter 20

Now home, we get out of the car and I text Ramona, asking her if she wants to come over. Bellamy seemed to like the idea, she wants to have a movie night with the three of us.

I put my phone away as me and Bellamy reach the front door of the house. "Have you decided what movie we're gonna watch?" I ask as I take out my key to unlock the door.

"N-no, you can pick." Is her reply.

"Are you sure?" I question as we step into the house.

"Yep." My phone dings in that moment and I quickly check to see Ramona letting me know she's on the way.

"Ok, I'll think about it, come on I'm gonna start you a bath then you can put on your pjs, Rani said she's on her way."

She huffs loudly but follows me to her room, which her bathroom is connected to. "I-I don't wanna t-take a bath."

I raise a brow. "So you wanna be stinky?"

Another huff as she crosses her arms. "N-no."

I hum. "Then a bath it is."

We reach her bathroom and I start her bath. While she's washing or supposed to be anyway, I grab her some pjs and set them out then I go to my room and change into something more comfortable which is just sweats and a crop top.

Then I go back to Bellamy and wash her hair before she's out and in her pjs. As we're walking to the kitchen planning to get our new little popcorn machine out, the doorbell rings.

Bellamy gasps and dashes to the door. "Rani!"

As much as I'd like to run with her to the door, I walk, at a fast pace as Bellamy opens the door. I'm just as excited to see Ramona, if not more.

"Hey my little sirenita." Ramona says as she hugs Bell, her brown eyes meeting mine as she smiles. I can't help but notice the way her eyes trail over my body.

My out fit is quite similar to what she's wearing, although I'm not nearly as fit as her. I am getting there, in only a month of going to the gym a few times out of the week I've seen some progress.

"Hello chinita." She smirks and it's one of the sexiest things I've ever seen.

I smile back. "You're just in time to help us make the popcorn."

"Y-yeah, we got a-a popcorn machine n-now." Bellamy adds.

Ramona raises a brow. "A popcorn machine? So, you two are fancy now." A smirk is sent my way.

I shake my head with amusement. "Yeah, very fancy."

Bellamy tugs on Ramona's arm. "C-Come on, I-I'll show you! It's r-really cool."

As they head toward the kitchen, I trail behind them, admiring the easy way Ramona fits into this picture, into our lives. It's strange how natural it feels.

When we reach the counter where the popcorn machine sits, Ramona looks at me, grinning. "Alright, show me how it works."

Bellamy's excitement bubbles over as she starts explaining the steps, though her stutter picks up with her enthusiasm. "You just p-put the kernels in here, and then... it pops out! I c-can do it by m-myself now."

Ramona nods attentively. "You've got it all figured out."

I laugh softly, leaning against the counter. "She's been obsessed with it since we got it. I don't think I've eaten this much popcorn in my life."

Ramona chuckles herself. "Well, I can't wait to taste Bells famous popcorn."

Bellamy quickly starts the machine. As the kernels begin to pop, I catch Ramona sneaking another glance at me, her eyes lingering just a little longer than necessary. My stomach flutters in response.
