Patrick is so dumb, I thought as I stuffed my face with popcorn. I'm happy to have the entire house to myself this weekend. I dismissed the house workers for the day so they could be with their families and Ryder ... Ryder was out with his friends or something, so I know the rest of my day will be relaxing.

"Mermaid Man is not evil! He just needs to digest one of our tasty Krabby patties!" Spongebob yelled, "Those Krabby patties are EVIL!" Mermaid man yelled back earning a gasp from the crowd of fishes.

I chuckled at the thought of me watching a show like this. I'm a sucker for cartoons, it's like that peter pan feeling ... never growing up. The door opened and a very happy Ryder came walking straight in the house. The last time I saw him with a real smile on his face was back in middle school, before Savannah, so seeing him with a real smile on his face now was kind of a surprise to me.  I gave him a side glance before turning my attention back to Spongebob. "Hey." I heard him say as he walked past the leather sofa. I flinched and scrunched up my brows, "You're talking to me?" I asked shocked,

After our last real encounter at school the other day, which left me on the brink of tears, I thought of him ever making a friendly interaction with me was unheard of.  I mean, is that happy? "Yeah, You're the only other person in the house." He said with a duh tone. I gave him a weird look and raised my brows, "Hey?" I answered back but it came out as a question. I heard him chuckle and go up the stairs.

That was odd. 

I zeroed my attention again on the tv currently playing some hot wheels commercial. I sighed and waited for Spongebob or some other cartoon show to come on when the sofa sank on my left. Before I could even turn my head, a hand was shoved into the bowl of popcorn in my lap. I followed the hand and groaned "Ryder." I said, "Jenna." He mocked before stuffing the popcorn he had in his hand all in his mouth. "You could've just asked." I grumbled "I know but this is way better. What are we watching" He said, I blinked at him "We?." I asked,

"You and I? That's what the term we mean Jenna" He said with a smirk "Um, Spongebob?" I asked, "Ah, you still love your cartoons huh. That's adorable," He said. I looked down at my bottoms and blushed, "Shut up. Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" I asked focusing my attention on the TV in front of me, A new episode of SpongeBob was now on. "I could, But I want to get to know my fiancé." He said, I laughed.

Uh, what?

I rolled my eyes "What is there to know about?" I asked not taking my eyes off of the TV in front of me "Everything. You know like pet peeves, Funny stories, and more," He said. I looked up at him with a straight face "Are you on something?" I asked, "Like what?" He answered "Why are you so happy today? Your default mood is pissed in cheerios or like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. You're not high, are you? Cause that would be a weird side effect from drugs." I said weirdly concerned,

He gave me a look before smirking "It's just a good day." He answered "Okay?" I said not convinced, "Let's play twenty-one questions." He suggested, I grimaced. " No," I said. He nodded before turing off the TV "Im sorry. That came off wrong. We're playing twenty one questions." He stated. I let out a hiss and looked at him "You're so freaking mean." I grumbled and He laughed. I kind of cracked a smile as he laughed. "Okay, Favorite color?" He asked "Teal and white. Favorite food?" I asked back.

"Spaghetti and Meatballs, Favorite movie?"

"The duff. Favorite color?"

"Blue and Black. Worst memory?"

"Being pushed in a sandbox. Best memory?"

"Losing my virginity. Any secrets?"

"Wow and lots. Favorite season?"

"Winter. Favorite book?"

"The Percy Jackson series. The weirdest thing you've been asked to do?"

"I think that's way too inappropriate but it required a dildo and I'm not about that life. Dumbest thing you've ever done?"

"Kill a rose. Saddest memory?" 

"Picking Savannah over a girl I was in love with in middle school. First kiss?"

"Never. Why are you so happy?"

"Its Saturday. Want to eat?" He asked. I was going to protest but my stomach decided to speak for me. "Pizza or Chinese take out?" He asked reaching for his phone "Pizza." I answered getting up and stretching.

I had no real plans for today, I was going to be lazy all day, watch tv, and maybe a few books but I guess I'm going to be hanging out with Ryder all day. I left him downstairs and went upstairs to change into something more comfortable.

I grabbed my black tank top and my white lazy shorts and ran back downstairs. There was a knock on the door. Our food's here already? "I got it!" I yelled running towards the door, "Damn you run fast." I heard Ryder said as I flung the door open with the biggest smile on my face. I was expecting two huge boxes of pizza and a hot guy holding it with a sly grin but instead, I was staring at a creature also known as Savannah. My smile dropped "Ryder! Your girlfriend is here!" I screamed over my shoulder. Her eyes widen in shock but that quickly morphed into a murderous look.

 He came into view with a slight frown on his face, "Whats wrong babe?" He asked Savannah.

"How come you let her sleepover and have the keys and I can't?" She whined like a fucking toddler, I stared at her with a disgusted look on my face, "Are you serious?" I said but she ignored me,

 "She didn't sleepover Sav, she lives here," Ryder answered in a bored tone. I looked at him, surprised that his entire happy go lucky attitude was nowhere to be found. "You can start packing your things. I'll be replacing you within twenty-four hours." She said confidently, all I could do is smirk at her "It's our house, sweetheart. I think I have every right to be here. If you weren't his girlfriend you would be off of my property in a blink of an eye." I said.

"I swear to God if you even think about trying anything-" Savannah said glaring at me, she was interrupted by a very annoyed sigh coming from Ryder, "Don't worry I won't." He answered dismissively and even though I knew nothing between Ryder and I would happen, The way he said it hurt a little. "Pizza delivery." I heard a guy call out, Pizza! 

The pizza here to save me from whatever this is.
