Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long! i've just had ZERO motivation to do pretty much anything but school, but I finally got some time and inspiration, so here you go!!! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later, the game was over and Ross’s team lost, and I soon found myself surrounded by a bunch of sweaty boys. They were all spread out on the ground, breathing heavily. Stormie laughed.
“Come on. Let’s go watch a movie.” She said, standing up and walking into the house. I got up to follow her, helping people up on my way inside. I helped Stormie make popcorn and a few other snacks, and Rydel ordered pizza for dinner. The boys (and later Rydel) went upstairs to shower, and Riker’s friends, who were here for the game, went home. Ellington was the first out of the shower.
“Hey Stormie, do you mind if I spend the night? I really don’t want to go back to the fighting tonight.” He asked, quietly. She hugged him.
“Of course you can stay.” She told him, releasing him. “But you’ll have to take the couch. Courtney’s staying in the guest room until we get a hold of her mom.” She finished. He looked over at me and smiled, nodding. “And if you’d like to invite Kelly over for a little bit to watch the movie, you may.” She added. He smiled, pulling out his phone to text her. The next one down the stairs was Ross, in Pajama pants and an old Hollister T-shirt. I then realized I was still in the dress from this morning. He must’ve noticed too.
“Come on; let’s go get you a change of clothes.” He whispered, pulling me back towards the kitchen. “Mom! We’re going down the street to get a change of clothes for Courtney. Be right back!” He called to Stormie. She nodded, and Ross grabbed my hand, and we walked to the front door, pulling on shoes and hoodies, (I wore his Hollister one). We stepped outside into the wind, walking down the sidewalk and into my house. Ross plopped down on the couch as I ran upstairs to change. I quickly changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, throwing Ross’s hoodie over it and walking back downstairs. He smiled.
“Ready?” He asked, standing up and holding out his hand. I nodded, walking over to him.
“So what exactly are we?” I asked, laying my head on his shoulder. He sighed, sitting back down on the couch, with me.
“What do you want us to be?” He asked. I shrugged. “I really like you, at first it was just as a friend, but now I’m not sure if I can take it anymore.” He said, looking down. I smiled, lifting up his chin.
“I really like you too. But I don’t really know much about relationships. So you’ll have to go easy on me.” I said, smiling. He smiled.
“I’d love to.” He said, leaning forward and gently putting his lips on mine. We kissed for a few seconds, before separating.
“We should get back.” I told him, standing up and grabbing his hand. We intertwined our fingers and walked back to his house. Kelly was just pulling up when we got there.
“Hey!” She called out, waving. We waved back. Ross opened the door for us and we walked in, laughing.
“Finally you guys are here! I’m hungry let’s eat!” Ryland called from the couch. Ross and I sat down on one end of the couch, me once again in between Riker and Ross. On the other side of Riker sat Rydel, and then Rocky, then Mark and Stormie, then Ryland, and then finally Ratliff and Kelly on the loveseat that was pulled up as an extension to the already huge couch. Riker pressed play and “That thing you do” started playing. I smiled. I loved this movie, and I could tell Riker picked it out. I elbowed him.
“Nice choice” I whispered, high fiving him. He smiled, and then went back to the movie. Soon, we had a night full of movies and games, and food.
“Well, it’s getting late. We’re going to bed. Behave yourselves; we’ll see you in the morning.” Stormie told us, giving the boys a stern look as she and Mark went upstairs.
“Hey, let’s play a game!” Rydel suggested, sliding down to sit on the floor. We all soon followed, slightly afraid of this idea…
