Warm Thoughts || Dylan O'Brien

Nervous Knocks (Chapter 4)

*Ally's POV*

I woke up in my bed freezing (again), but was lost in my thoughts. Dylan was so nice to bring me home. I've had one boyfriend before, Jake. He didn't care about me, and ended up cheating on me, so we were only together for 3 months.

I thought about Dylan. Even if I just met him, he's probably the nicest guy in the world. I got up made a frozen corn dog (because why not?).

Okay Saturday. What was I going to do before Dylan's house? I should probably go to the gym again, but I just wanted to sit on the couch and watch some Teen Wolf. I decided to do just that.

After 4 hours of binge-watching, I got up and changed into leggings and a flowy short sleeve shirt. Dylan had texted me his address the day before. He lived in a really nice apartment building. My apartment was okay, I mean, I had 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen, that's all I really needed.

I hopped in my car and 10 minutes later, I was parked in front of Dylan's apartment complex. I arrived at his door, hesitating to knock.

I quietly knocked. Why was I so nervous? "Hey Ally!" I just laughed at his excitement. "Come in, come in!" He smiled. I walked in, in awe at his nicely styled apartment. "Wow, you have a really nice place." I said. "Thanks." He looked over and smiled at me.

He sat down on the couch and patted the spot next to him. "Soo, why did you want me coming over?" I knew he wanted to get to know me better, but why? I'm just some crazy fan that he doesn't know of yet. He'll probably kick me out the moment he realizes I'm just that.

"I feel like I still haven't done anything for you since I pushed you in the street." He replied. "Believe me, picking me up from that party was enough. I did not want to walk home. And plus,  you actually picked me up from the road, and didn't leave me to get run over." I joked.

He just stared at me. I looked down and tucked my hair behind my ear. "Your eyes are so pretty." He complimented me. I have these crystal blue eyes that I get compliments on daily. "Thanks" I smiled.

Dylan had showed me around his apartment and we watched some episodes on Netflix. We sat across each other on his fancy couch. After a Teen Wolf episode, he looked over at me.

"Would you want to come to filming with me on Monday?" Oh. My. God. They were filming The Death Cure. I squealed out in excitement. Dylan flashed me a funny look. I hadn't told Dylan about my secret obsession of The Maze Runner. "Uhh...um" I mumbled. I regained myself and said "yeah, I would love to." Dylan just laughed at my attempt to play it off.

It was already 8:30, my parents flight landed at 9:30. I didn't want to leave, but I had to get going. "Dylan, I need to go." I said ruining the silence. I stood up and grabbed my stuff. "Why?" He asked. "My parents are coming back from Florida, I need to pick them up from the airport. " I replied. "What time will they be landing?" "Uhh...like 9:30" I said. "I can drive if you want." He offered. "No, they don't even know you." I laughed and opened the door. "Thanks for coming over. I'll be at your house at 9 on Monday." I nodded and smiled, then walked out the door.
