In Love With My Best Friend (r.s.l)

Chapter 37

*HALEY'S POV.*

Monday morning, 11:30 am. That was a good sleep. After we got home from Stormie and Mark's house Ross and I cuddled forever. We didn't move a muscle, we didn't even talk. I don't even know why. Then we got ready for bed and decided to play hide and go seek. Again, I don't even know why. We played for a half and hour, just us two in my apartment. It wore us down so we cuddled some more and then I fell asleep.

I looked next to me, Ross wasn't there but I wasn't too worried. I laid in bed a while longer and stretched out. From playing sports all throughout high school, I learned that your day should start out with a good stretch. I heard footsteps, Rossy. "Good morning beautiful." "Good morning handsome." "I made eggs and bacon." He sat on the bed and kissed my lips. "Yum!" I grabbed my glasses and put them on my face before standing up. "You look cute with your glasses on." "Thanks." I grabbed my phone and jumped on his back. He walked up and out of my room and down to the kitchen. I saw two plates of food, two cups of juice, and a small bouquet of flowers in a vase that my grandma gave me before I moved to California. "Awe! Ross!" "Since you sleep longer than I do I decided to make us a nice breakfast." I jumped into his arms. "I love it. It's so cute." I kissed his cheek and hopped down. I quickly took a picture of how cute this was and put it on snapchat, "this is what I woke up to!" Ross walked over and pulled my chair out, "M'lady." "Why thank you." He scooted me in and sat in his own chair. Ross began eating and I took a bite before taking a picture of him and the food for Instagram. "fancy homemade breakfast made by this hottie? yes please! 😍💛" I locked my phone and started eating some more. "What did you put in the eggs?" "Salt, cheese, and a touch of your hot sauce." "No pepper?" "Nope," He shook his head. "because you don't like it." "This is why you're my favorite. Along with Ellie and Abby of course." I winked at him and he playfully scoffed at me. "So what's the plan Stan?" "I'm not Stan." "I know silly." I tousled his hair. "What's the plan for today?" "Oh right." He took a sip of juice. "I had Riker rent out the rink. Ryland and Riker are coming. Lily and Tori are staying home. Rocky and Ellie are obviously gone. And I invited a few extra people, you know 'em, don't worry." "Okay cool. What time?" "1 o' clock." "It's almost 12 so let hurry and eat then I can get ready and on the way we can stop for a Frosted Lemonade at Chickfila." "You and your Chickfila." Ross giggled. "It's SOOOO yummy."

After my makeup was done I walked into my closet and found a pair of black Nike leggings and a light grey volleyball sweatshirt with white converse of course. I sprayed my naturally curly hair with water and ran my hands through it. Then I pulled it up into a messy bun with two hair ties because it never stays with just one. I sprayed hair spray on my fly aways and put on a Nike headband. "Babe are you ready?" "Yeah." I grabbed my phone and my mint Eos and met Ross in the front room. He was wearing black skinny jeans that weren't too worn out and a long sleeve hockey shirt with his signature beat up black converse. His hair looked so soft so I walked up to him, pecked his lips, and ran my fingers through his hair. "Ready to go?" "Yep." I grabbed my keys and followed him out the door.

I pulled into the parking lot and we walked into the ice rink. In my left hand was my lanyard and my Frosted Lemonade, my right hand was intertwined with Ross' left hand, and his right hand was holding onto his phone. We walked in and up to the check-in desk. "Hi Brad." "Sup Ross." "The boys already in there?" "Yeah, they came about 15 minutes ago. Is this your girl?" "Yep. Haley, this is Brad. Brad, this is Haley." "Nice to meet you." "You too. Hey Ross, let me know if you need anything." "Will do." We walked away and through the doors to the ice rink. "Guys! Do you have my bag?" Ross yelled. "Yeah!" Ryland yelled back. "Riker!" I screamed. "Haley!" He skated over to the edge. I let go of Ross' hand and ran to give him a hug. He picked me up, "How you doing, squirt?" He put me back down because he almost fell seeing how he's still on skates. "I'm good. Even though I saw you last night." "Still missed you though." "Me too!" "Hey guess what?" "What?" "Lily pulled out her first tooth last night." "All by herself?" "Yep." "Awe, my baby's growing up." I wiped a fake tear. "Technically she's my baby. My first one." He winked. "I'm so excited for little Lynch number two!" "You and Ross could have number three, you know." "Eventually we will. But I need to go to college first then we can get married. THEN we can have kids." "Yeah. I got you." He bent down and kissed my cheek. "I'm going to go skate more." He slowly skated away. "Go get skates on!" He yelled before picking up his pace. I turned around and saw Ross just got off the phone. "Who was that?" I asked. "Uh no one." He shrugged. "You sure?" He laughed. "Remember how I told you I invited a few more people?" "Yeah." "That was them." "Them as in?" "You'll see when then get here. They should be coming anytime." "Okay." He grabbed my hand and we walked over to get a pair of skates for me. I took them over to where Riker and Ryland put Ross' stuff. We tied the skates and put our phones in Ross' skate bag. "Let's just skate around for a little bit?" "Yeah!" Ross grabbed my hand and pulled me into the ice.
