Make it Rain (Ed Sheeran)

Chapter 5~Amber

We had some wonderful ravioli for lunch. I'll have to thank the chef sometime. I was just entirely too tired to make another meal at the moment. I'm not used to all this. I silently laugh.

Ed looks at me,"What?"

"Nothing."

"Seriously?" He raises an imaginary eyebrow,"I know you better than that. You don't just laugh for no reason. What do you have up your sleeve this time?"

"I told you, nothing. You might have sauce all over your face though."

He grabs the roll of napkins and wipes at his face."Is it gone?"

"No." He continues scrubbing."No. No. No. You aren't even wiping in the right place. Anyways it's all dry and crusty. Let me."

I snatch his napkin, and open my water bottle and pour some water on the napkin. I gently wipe his cheek."There you go, bro."

"Thanks. I hope I don't get sick from that."

"Nah. I'm healthy." I cough for effect.

"Sure." Ed rolls his eyes.

"What do you want to do now?"

"I don't care."

An idea just popped into my head, "Ed, we may be trapped here,  but that doesn't mean we can't go out! Wait here! I'll be right back!" I walk into the laundry room and find a pile of my dad's clothes that he used while we were building our house, it's just an old t-shirt and a pair of jeans that he got paint on. I bring them back to Ed,"Here put these on. They'll probably fit you better than the clothes I gave you last night. It doesn't matter if you get mud on these."

"What are we doing?"

"It's a surprise. Just trust me, I think you'll like this!"

"Oh. Alright!" He turns, and walks back to his room. I go to the mudroom,  and grab two pairs of keys. I go to my room, and change into some old jeans and an old shirt that somehow got hole in the back. I really hated that. It was a really cool shirt that says You underestimate the power of the dork side on the front and has some stars around the words, and a pair of nerd glasses up near the collar. I search for my old Converse, and find them under my bed. I put the stinky old things on, and find Ed in the hall waiting for me.

"Yeah, that's a lot better than what I gave you last night. Sorry about that, by the way."

"It's alright."

"Okay. Come on!" I lead him outside to the shed. I point to the ATVs,"Your chariot awaits! Which would you prefer? Old Stinky or Green Beast?"

"Um... I want this one." He points to Old Stinky.

"If that's what you want." I throw him the keys. He dodges them.

"Aww! Did I choose the wrong one?" He asks.

"Nah. Stinky may look newer, and the Beast may look rougher but in reality Beasty is actually rougher because it is my favorite. Someone just gave us Stink about a month ago, and let's just say it must have been sitting for a while because the gas smells horrible!"

"Oh. Can I pick again?"

"No... I think I'll show you where we are going to ride first anyways." I climb atop my ATV, and drive it out from under the shed. I stand up and pat the spot behind me,"Get on Ed."

He looks at me strangely, but climbs on. I then realize that he'll sorta have to strattle me to sit and ride with me.

"Hold on," I tell him. Then, I drive down the driveway a bit, and take a turn down into the woods. We pass a squirrel.
