Falling For You

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

"WHAT!?"

Was the first thing Blake said when I told him about my plan.

I smiled sheepishly. He shook his head, again, then again, then again...

"Blake! You'll break your neck or something." I said, grabbing his shoulders.

His eyes were wide and so was his mouth, "You. Are. Fucking. Insane."

"I know." I said, rolling my eyes sassily.

"If they find out you'll be in big trouble." He said.

 "I know." I repeated, this time seriously.  

It was movie night today. After I hung up with Eleanor,I invited Blake over to watch a movie, at least that was what I said over the phone. What I really had in mind was 'th e minute you step into my room I'll tell you about my crazy plan'. Yeah, I obviously didn't say that.

"But... why? Why are you doing all this?" He asked, sticking his lower lip out, a habit he does when he's thinking about something.

"I... look. I need to tell you something." I said and his eyes sparkled and smiled with an almost hopeful look on his face. I was kind of confused but went on.

"I think... I might have a crush on Caleb Stiles." I rushed out.

Whoop there it is. Fat Amy voice.

His face fell for a moment that for a second I thought I was imagining it, he smiled a smile that didn't look so sincere and said, "Cool."

What was his problem? What if... what if Blake actually...? My eyes widened then I pushed the thought completely out of my head. Blake surely can't like me. We've been through thick and thin together. We were almost like siblings. He can't. He just can't.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Let's just pick a movie." He said, diverting his eyes.

I pursed my lips, "Blake, what's wrong?"

"You won't get it! Okay? You just won't!" He snapped and I flinched. He never snapped at me like that.

"Audrey..." He said, his face softening.

I faked a smile, "What did you choose?"

He seemed confused for a second then got it and said "Oh! The movie. Well, I figured you'd choose. Since I chose last time."

And we were back to normal, the moment gone but not forgotten.

I went over to the DVD section where was sitting and looked in the little shelf where I have all of my DVDs. I got out one and said, "How about we watch-"

"NO! We are not watching Mean Girls! No. Nope." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Fine. Clueless?" I suggested and he shook his head.

"The Breakfast Club?" He shook his head again.

"Easy A?" He thought about it then nodded.

After putting it on, Blake and I sat on the couch in front of my television. I rested my head on his shoulder as the movie began. "Emma Stone is so freaking hot." He said, "Most redheads are." This time with an eyebrow wiggle.

"Hey! Gingers do have souls!" I said and he burst out laughing.

"Seriously? You still remember this?" He said when he calmed down, wiping a tear from his eye.
