Chapter 8

*Stevie POV*

We woke up to the doorbell. Ally groaned against me as I sluggishly got up and put a shirt on.

"Hey, are these your keys?" A tall man with a fluffy brown hair and dark eyes said, jingling my housekeys in the air as I opened the door. "Yes, thank you so much." I said, taking the keys from his hand, still a bit surprised by his kindness. I had totally forgotten how or when I've lost them.

"Danny?!" I heard Ally say from behind me. "Ally?" He looked surprised for a second but then chuckled a bit. I looked back at Ally and saw that her hands were in her face. Blushing, she speed walked back into the bedroom.
"You know each other?" I looked back at him. "Yeah, we're pretty good friends. Small world." He said, still smiling. I nodded. He held out his hand and introduced himself; "Danny." I smiled and shook his hand, "Stevie.".

Just as Danny was about to say something Ally came out of the room.
"Now that I've got some pants on, why the fuck are you here?" Ally asked in a very confused and somewhat flared tone, marching towards the door.
"Tyler borrowed my keyboard and I came to pick it up. Why are you here, Miss Hills?" He raised an eyebrow and smirked. A huge smile began to grow on her face. "Hey, I think you could answer that for yourself." She said laughing. My eyes grew wide for a moment. "Alright." I said, not looking at either at them. "I gotta go, I'll text you, Als. Bye, nice meeting you, Stevie." He waved and left our sight. After closing the door I turned back and saw that Ally was already slouched on the couch staring at the unpowered television. "He seems nice." I said to her. Ally turned her head to face me and opened her arms. "Come here." She said with the biggest grin. I rushed towards her smiling and I practically crushed her as I dove into her lap. After a while of giggling a wave of realization hit me. The giggling stopped as she saw my now serious face. "What's wrong?" She asked in a concerned voice. I looked at her one last time and prepared myself for what I was about to say. "I think I might love you."

I don't know why I said that. I have barely spent any time with her at all, not to mention that whatever this thing is, it might not work out. We're two completely different people, and I know nothing about her - I barely watched two of her videos on YouTube for Christ's sake.

She looked down at my lips but she didn't say anything. Suddenly I felt her lips on mine, I closed my eyes and appreciated the moment, she's given me kisses but this one was different, it was really, really good. She slowly pulled away and as I was leaning in for more I noticed her looking directly into my eyes. "I think I love you too." She said to me in the most serious voice I've ever heard her speak in. I kissed her again and rested my head on her chest, thinking about what just happened. Something about this felt right, I feel like we've known each other for the longest time, no matter how little time we've spent together or how little we know about each other, it felt.. it feels right. There is no way in hell that I could have this sort of connection with someone and it to not be anything. I don't care how distant she is with me sometimes, I don't care that I don't know what she's like around her friends I haven't met or that I haven't even met her family yet. This may be the worst idea I've ever had, but I'm sticking to it. And if she hurts me.. well, seeing how deep I'm in already - I'd probably let her.

She kissed my hair and I closed my eyes feeling relieved that she felt the same. The both of us fell back asleep.  

*Ally POV*

My phone vibrated under my lap. "What the fuck." I thought to myself as I saw the caller ID. I looked down and saw that Stevie was still asleep on my lap. She was adorable but seemed exhausted. I slowly lifted her head off of me and placed it on a pillow then got up to go to the other room to answer the call.

"Danny, it's early as fuck, what do you want?" I said right as I answered the call. "Woah sorry, I just thought you'd be woken up by now." I checked the time and saw that it was 11:00am. "Yeah, sorry, I fell back asleep after you left." I said apologetically, remembering he had coincidentally stopped by earlier. "Anyway, what do you want?" I added. "I was wondering if you could sing some vocals to the song I've been working on? I emailed you a demo a couple days ago, not sure if you've seen it yet." I was excited by his offer, I hadn't released a song or any new music in a year and this would be a perfect opportunity to get my motivation back up and running. "I haven't listened to it but yes, I'd be glad to help!" I said, probably overly enthusiastic. I heard Danny chuckle on the other line."I think you'll like it. I'm working in the studio tonight at around 8 but we can also do it another time." He asked in a monotone voice. "Tonight's fine, text me the details." I hung up and went back to the living room.

I cuddled back into Stevie and surprisingly did not wake her up. I watched Netflix on the lowest volume for about an hour until I got the idea of making brunch for her.
Sure, I wasn't good in the kitchen but I felt confident. I looked up an omelette recipe and began to gather up ingredients. As I was cutting vegetables I accidentally dropped a knife and cut my toe. "Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit" I mumbled to myself through grit teeth, trying to stay calm. I crept into the bathroom but to my luck; no band-aids in the first aid kit. I tried looking through the kitchen drawers and sighed.

"Stevieee.." I shook her softly in an attempt to wake her up. She groaned and asked, "What is it.." with still closed eyes, recognizing that I wanted something. "I need a band-aid." I asked in a baby voice. Her eyes suddenly opened and she looked at me with a bitch face. "You are adorable." She said and pulled me into her to give me a kiss.

She got up and I pointed to my cut toe. "Holy shit Allison, the fuck did you do?" Stevie asked as she was investigating the cut on my toe. "I may or may not have dropped a knife as I was preparing a very romantic brunch for my gir-" Shit. I looked at her and observed her face to see if she was phased by it. "Girlfriend." I continued, seeing that she didn't mind. Her face lit up. "Aww, you're my girlfwend." She said as she kissed me. I was not only relieved that she did not find it silly that I had cut my toe by dropping a knife but also because, of course, she had accepted the fact that I called her my girlfriend. I got butterflies in my stomach as I thought about this.

"I'm going to go to the store and get you some band-aids, okay?" Stevie said as she got up from the couch. She went into her room to change then grabbed her keys and gave me a quick peck. "I'm going now, bye." As she let go of my hand I pulled her back in a bit forcefully and gave her another kiss, this time it was longer. I pulled away and she smiled against my face, biting her lip. "You can go now." I let go our hands that were intertwined with each other and stepped back a little. She gave me a small smile and another small peck on the lips. "Bye."

As I was wiping the blood off the floor I began to smell something burning. "Are you kidding me?" I said as I got up and turned off the stove. I did nothing but stare at the disasters I caused within the last couple minutes. "Welp. Never trying this again." I said to myself as I opened snapchat to film and share my failures with my following.
