In Case {AU}

Chapter 4

Authors note: okay so I kind of lost motivation before with this story. Trying to get back on track with this. I just have so many feels right now. I have a lot planned for this fic. Keep reading ;)

Demi's POV

"That's insane! I can't believe they made you do that!" I said to Brian while he was explaining what the coaches made the football team do at practice.

"Yeah, it was crazy. Anyway, I've got to go shower now. I'll talk to you later D"

"Okay babe" I answered Brian.

He was the cornerback of our school football team this season. He and I have always had a few classes each semester. But we've never had a real conversation up until the time Nick started dating Savannah a month ago. Our history teacher paired us together for a project on the civil war. He and I have been dating for a week now.

My phone lights up with a message from Nick. It reads: "Hey, come outside!"

I answer quick with "kay, one sec" and I quick stuff the remainder of the granola bar I was eating into my mouth. Go to the door and put my runners on and make sure I look nice enough to leave the house. Although, I'm not completely sure why I'm making sure I look nice for Nick, he's not the guy I have to impress. He's my best friend.

Nick's POV

I put my shoes on as I see Demi jogging down the street and I open my door and walk out.

"Hey!" I call towards her.

"What's up?" She says walking up my drive way towards the step I'm now sitting on.

"We haven't really talked much lately, how is everything?"

"It's great. Brian is good. School is school." She catches me off guard.

"Brian?" I question.

"Yeah. Brian Peters. I'm with him now."

"Oh..." I say not so enthused. I'm not sure why I was feeling jealous of him. I had no reason to be. I have Savannah after all.

And we sit there for a few seconds of silence. When Demi quick changes the subject to Savannah wondering how shes doing.

"She's doing good. Things are great between us. I can't complain."

After the small talk we drift into conversation like we did before. It reminded me of the day we first met.

She leaves when her mom calls her for dinner. And I go inside and start my homework.

Demi's POV

I help clear the table after dinner like usual and Mom washes the dishes. I was thinking about asking Brian to come over tonight to meet my mom and watch a movie with us which was our typical Friday night routine. My mom was fine with me having boyfriends just as long as I was responsible. So I causally ask her in conversation if Brian can come over tonight.

"Heather, from work does the same thing." She carried on with whatever story she was telling me at the time

"Oh, yeah. That's great" she can tell I wasn't really listening.

"Okay, your time to talk." She insists. This is my time.

"So I was thinking..."

"Oh no Demi. What?"

"I was wondering if someone can join us tonight"

"Brian?" She asks with a slight smirk towards me.

"Yeah. Brian."

"I suppose. I guess we aren't watching The Notebook then."

"Yeah, probably not" I answered Mom with a giggle. And I head up to my room and give Brian a call to invite him over.

~~~~~~~~~~~

*knock* *knock*

I scurry to the door and open it. Brian smiles at me, and I go in for a hug and he kisses me on the cheek sneakily. I bring him inside and he mets Mom and we settle in to watch Despicable Me. He and I are on the same couch and Mom is in the recliner chair in the corner of the room.

Brian is sitting on the corner of the couch leaning on the rest and I am beside him. As the movie progresses I inch closer to him.

I am leaning into him now, his hand is on my knee. I slide my hand under his and intertwine our fingers.

He makes me incredibly happy. I know we've one been together for a short time, but I see him in my future.

As the movie comes to a close I sneak a kiss to his shoulder.

The conversation afterwards was smooth. He is really charismatic, and Mom seems to like him.

It's now closer to 10pm, and Mom gives me signals that it's time for him to leave so I walk him out. And we stand on my porch holding each other. His arms are around my waist and mine around his. We make plans to see each other on Sunday.

As we exchange goodbyes, still embracing each other, he looks me in the eyes, then at my lips and I bite them. I look at him with a pleading grin.

"Kiss me" I whisper.

His lips parted slightly. He leaned in. Our lips meet. Pressing our body's together wanting more.
