Oh Love...

Chapter 21: A Night Out

Brad's POV

I opened my eyes into darkness. I couldn't see anything. Where am I? I tried to move but something was in front of me, blocking me.

Carrie: Brad?

Oh, it was just Carrie!

Brad: Yes?

Carrie: Did we fall asleep?

Brad: I guess so. Watch out.

I climbed around Carrie off the bed, trying not to step on her. I felt around the wall for the light switch. A-ha! I flipped the switch and we were both blinded.

Carrie: Ah bright light!

I pulled my hands away from my eyes to let them adjust. I looked over at the clock on my old nightstand.

Brad: Dang, 9 'o clock already! We slept quite a while.

Carrie: Yeah, I guess so! What's up with us and always falling asleep at sudden times? Haha. It's so weird!

Brad: I know, haha but I'm not surprised because today was a long day...

Carrie: It just stinks because I probably won't be able to fall asleep later.

We walked out of the room and into the living room. Mom and dad were watching TV.

Mr. Paisley: There you guys are! We missed ya.

Brad: Yeah sorry, we fell asleep. Today's been a long day.

Mrs. Paisley: Oh honey don't worry about it. We saved some dinner for you, it's in the oven.

Brad: Thanks mom.

Carrie and I walked back into the kitchen. I opened the oven, grabbed the food out and set it on the counter. I walked back into my old bedroom and grabbed an old blanket my aunt made for me when I was younger. I opened the sliding glass door and laid the blanket out on the grass.

Brad: Wanna eat outside underneath the stars?

Carrie: Sure.

Carrie blushed.

I grabbed the food and Carrie followed me outside. She sat down and I sat down next to her and placed the food in the middle. It was so dark outside, the stars looked beautiful.

Carrie: Wow. The stars look beautiful.

Brad: Yeah. They're the second most beautiful thing in the world.

Carrie: Oh really? What's the first?

Brad: You....

I smiled so big and looked Carrie in the eyes. She shyly looked down, biting her lip. She grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes. She stared at me for a couple of seconds.

Carrie: You are so cheesy, you know that right?

She pulled away and started giggling. Her laugh was adorable. I just want to hear her laugh every second.

Brad: How many times are you going to tell me that? I know, I know...BUT I know you like it.

I started laughing and I winked at her.

Brad: YOU LOVE IT!!

I tackled her and wrestled her to the ground. We were laying on the grass face to face underneath the stars. Her eyes sparkled in the moonlight.
