ER [wlw]

Chapter 24

"What m-movie are we w-watching?" Bellamy asks as she's pouring popcorn kernels into the popcorn machine.

"I don't know, you pick." I reply as I watch her.

Ramona's currently coming over for another movie night, so we're making sure the popcorn is ready when she gets here.

I've been considering telling Bellamy about us but we haven't exactly agreed that we were official yet. I say we are but I just want to make sure we're on the same page first

"I-I'll just let R-Rani pick." The popcorn begins popping.

"That works." Just as I say that the doorbell rings.

"She's h-here!" Bellamy dashes out the kitchen, leaving me smiling as I walk to the front door far behind her.

She's already answered the door and hugging Ramona by the time I'm there. My stomach flutters at the beautiful site of her. Dressed in her typical laidback choice of joggers and a hoodie.

"Hey, chinita." She smiles as she steps in, closing the door behind me.

I want to kiss and that's exactly why I need to make Bellamy aware of our relationship. Then we could do that.

"Hey, Bell just started the popcorn, come on." I begin walking to the kitchen, them both following.

"Y-Yeah a-and this t-time you pick the m-movie." Bellamy tells her.

Ramona's brows raise. "Ok, I'll have to think. How was your trip to Disney?"

Bellamy just got back this morning, Ari and Sadia dropped her off for me.

We reach the kitchen as Bellamy feels Ramona all about her trip , the popcorn still popping and filling the house with a buttery smell. I fetch the popcorn bucket out the cabinet and set it on the counter. Bellamy and Ramona both standing behind me.

"Baby, can you go fetch some blankets and lay them on the couch?" I ask Bellamy, this'll give me some time to make sure me and Ramona are on the same page.

"Yeah." She runs off, leaving me and Ramona.

I lean against the kitchen counter. "Come here." I smirk at Ramona.

She bites her lip and steps up, until she's in front of me. I throw my arms over her shoulders, her hands going to hips as I pull her down for a kiss, making sure not to make it too long.

I find myself smiling when she pulls away. This feels natural, like it's something we've both been waiting for.

She stares at me, eyes seeming to look at every inch of my face, like she's admiring me and it makes my heart race a little. I don't think I've ever liked or been attracted to someone as much as I am her.

I pull her in a little closer. "You know, I was just thinking... maybe it's time we make this official."

Her smile widens, hands squeezing gently at my hips. "I thought we were already official."

I chuckle. "I wish you would have told me then because I want Bellamy to know. If you're okay with it."

Her eyes soften, and she lifts up a hand to push some of my curls behind my ear. "Of course I'm okay with it. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't ready, Emma."

She's definitely the one.

"I-Is the p-popcorn done?!" Bellamy shouts before entering the kitchen. Ramona slowly backs away from me, my hand lingering on her arm as Bell steps in.

I glance and the popcorn, machine which is barely popping anymore, I didn't even notice. "Yep." I turn it off.

"I-I wanna pour it." She skips over.
