Fall back in love

Chapter 12

It's now the end of the day and I'm at my locker getting my books for homework and such.

I was talking with Savannah when I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist. "Hi." I smile up at the tall blonde. "How's the birthday girl?" He looks down at me and copies my gesture.

"Ready to go home. I'm going to take a nap before the game because I'm exhausted."

"Want me to drive you so you get home safe?" He asked. "I'll be fine. Plus you won't have a car to go home with if you take me."

"It's okay. Your house is only 10 minutes away from here and since I'm not going home yet because I need to do warm-ups and whatnot before the game I could take a jog from your house here." he moves a lock of hair out of my face.

"Okay, fine let's go." He smiles at me as I close my locker and grabs my hand leading me to my car.

Just in case you're wondering, no we are not a couple. He hasn't hinted anything at me and I'm fine with it.

After 10 minutes we made it to my house, Ross turned off the ignition and got out. He handed me my keys as I got out of the car and opened the door to my house. "I guess I'll see you at the game?"

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I nod and we walk in.

"So you see, today is the biggest game of the season and all the player's girlfriends wear their jerseys to the game, I was wondering since I have a girlfriend maybe she would want to wear it?" He hands me the jersey he just took out of his book bag. "Would you be my girlfriend and wear my jersey to the game?" He looked at me with hope-filled eyes.

After a few seconds of not answering his expression changed and the hand he had held out with the jersey went back to his lap. He shook his head and started getting up off the couch.

"Hey, wait you didn't let me answer." I grab his arm to prevent him from moving any further. "Yes, I will be your girlfriend." He looks at me with a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Really?" He sits back down his eyes lighting up. "Yes." I blush and look down at my hands to prevent him from seeing me.

He Lifts my chin and starts leaning in. He stops a few inches away and says, "Don't hide your face because it's the most beautiful I've ever seen." I blush even more and not a second later feel his soft lips on mine, his lips molding perfectly against mine.

"I'll see you later." He whispers biting my lip. I nod Standing up and walk him to the door. "You can take my car if you want to. I'll ask Savannah or one of the girls if I can hitch a ride." I look up at the tall blonde in front of me.

"It's fine. Don't worry I don't mind running it." I frown not wanting him to run it. "Fine. Be careful." He nods and creases my cheek.

"I'll see you at the game. Okay?" I nod my head and he pecks my lips then walks away. I close the door and lean on it biting my lip. I'm his girlfriend.

I grab Ross's jersey from the couch and my book bag and run up the stairs.

The first thing I do is change into a pair of shorts and a tank top. Then I put my hair in a messy bun and take off my makeup and contacts. I have 3 hours until I have to get ready to head to the game so why not take a quick nap?

~3 hours later~

I was now getting ready for the game. I woke up about 30 minutes ago by my phone ringing. It was Mom asking if Jonathan and I were going to be home at all tonight.

I change into a Ross jersey and change my shorts into black leggings. After looking in the mirror I go to the bathroom brush my teeth and curl my hair a little bit. After that, I go back to my room and put my vans on.

I was all set and ready to go when my phone started ringing. I took a look at it and answered when I saw who it was.

~Phone convo~

A- hey Vanni.

S- hey, my car broke down Riker is fixing it right now but won't be done for a while. Do you mind picking me up?

A- I'll be there in 10.

S- thank you so much, Ash.

I hung up the phone quickly putting on my contacts, remembering to put them on, and headed to my car.

Exactly 10 minutes later I was at Savannah's house. I get out of the car and spot a tall blonde examining her car. I walk over, and Savannah spots me and runs toward me.

"Hey Ash, I want you to meet someone." She pulls me over to the tall blonde. "This is Riker, Ross' older brother, and my boyfriend." Oh my, he looks close to identical to Ross.

"Hi, I'm Ashley." I wave at him. "I'm Riker, I've heard lots about you, and not only from Vanni." He smiles.

"I hope they are all good." I smile. "Vanni we have to go." She nods and kisses Riker on the lips. "Bye Riker, nice to meet you." I wave and he dies the same.

When we get into my car Savannah won't stop staring at me as I drive. "Can I help you?" I laugh and take a glance at her.

"What are you doing in Ross's jersey? he asked you to be his girlfriend for the big game, didn't he?!" I nod and blush hard. "Ash I'm so happy for you." She smiles sweetly. "Thank you. Come on let's go and try to get close seats." I tell her as we walk into the school and the hockey rink.
