Life With Trent Harmon

Part 7: Sunday Afternoon

You make start the swing again and look over at Trent. He's looking at his phone, and he says "I seriously have gained 300 Twitter followers and 200 Instagram followers in 3 days. Like this is crazy."
He glances at you and smiles when he sees you looking at him.
"Just imagine how many more it will be after you make it through Hollywood week.."
"I know.. My phones gonna blow up..." He says.
Your smile grows and you feel the excitement building inside of you. He glances your way again and then he realizes what he has just said.. "I mean... If I make it through Hollywood week.." He smiles a weak smile and you laugh.. "Yeah, okay."
"You know I can't tell you anything about it..." He looks into your eyes and then back at his phone "Cuz if anyone finds out.."
"Oh you don't trust me??" You ask jokingly.
"(Y/n).. Of course I trust you. It's just that..." He puts down his phone and looks at you. You smile really big and he playfully pushes you. "Stop messing with me. You're getting to my head."
"All in a day's work."
He looks back at his phone and starts humming. You lay your head on his arm and put your fingers between his.
You look around and are amazed at the beauty. It's unseasonably warm for January. Almost 70 degrees.
"I'm so glad it's pretty today" you say quietly..
"Yeah, me too.." Trent says and puts his arm around you.. Y'all swing for a little while as he hums and you feel yourself dozing off.. You stand up and say "let's go inside... I wanna watch a movie."
He stands up and his phone starts ringing. He pulls it out of his pocket and looks at the collar ID.
"Go get the movie set up. I'll be there in a minute.." He says and the he answers the call.
You walk inside and look at him through the window. He has turned to face the yard and he's leaned against the post on the porch. You smile and walk into the living room. A few minutes later, he comes walking into the living room and sits down next to you
"What're we watchin?"
"The Fault in Our Stars." You say and look at him and smile.
"What happened to The Avengers??" He asks trying to sound annoyed, but the look on his face tells the truth for him.
"Hey. You had an important phone call." You tease, "you weren't in here to help pick the movie, so I took it upon myself to pick."
He rolls his eyes playful and says "whatever"
As the movie starts, you grab a blanket and scoot closer to Trent and cover both of you up.
"Um no. I'm burning up" he says, laughing, and pushing the blanket down off of both of you. "I don't know why you need that blanket."
"I'm cold" you say, "and now you pushed my blanket to the floor."
You sit up and scoot to the other end of the couch, fake pouting.
"(Y/n) come back down here." He laughs, pulling the blanket off the floor.
You ignore him for a minute and can feel him staring at you and despite you best efforts, a smile creeps across your face.
"Mhm.." He says quietly. "That's what I thought."
You look at him and he flashes his million dollar smile at you with his sky blue eyes dancing as he holds out his hand. You scoot back next to him and he puts his arm around you and pulls the blanket up to your shoulder.
The next thing you know, you open your eyes and your head is in his lap and he is running his fingers through your hair, mindlessly. You watch the movie for a minute and realize you had only been asleep a few minutes. You fight the urge to go back to sleep but eventually, you loose and you slip back into sleep as Trent twirls your hair around his finger.
When you wake up again, you are laying on a pillow and suddenly start worrying "wait. Where's Trent?!" You think. You look around the living room but don't see him anywhere. Then, you hear him talking in the other room.
"Yes sir. That's what I was planning to do. If that's okay..."
You hear your dad say something quietly and then you hear footsteps coming back towards the living room. You close your eyes and Trent walks over and sits at the other end of the couch next to your feet. You hide your face slowly, like you're still asleep, and  stretch out your legs so that your feet are touching Trent's legs. He scoots away from them and you extend your leg to reach him, again, but accidentally uncover your face and he sees you smile.
"Hey. Stop trying to push me off the couch with your feet" he says laughing.
You bust out laughing and open your eyes to look at him. You make eye contact immediately and sit up. You run your fingers through your hair and look at him again.
"Good morning, sleepy head" he says as you scoot closer to him and he reaches out and moves a stray hair out of your face.
"Mmm" you lean over and lay on his shoulder again. "What time is it?"
He lifts his arm and looks at his watch. "right at four" he says while putting his hand on your leg. His touch gives you chills and he feels you shiver.
"You cold??"
"Nah" you say quietly and look up at him.
He smiles down at you and says "you have plans tonight?"
"Huh?" You ask, sitting up.
"Do you have plans tonight? Or do you have a little time to hang out with me for a bit?"
"I don't know.. I'll have to check my schedule." You laugh and say "of course but I'll have to ask my parents, just to make sure it's okay.."
You start to get up but he pulls you back down to the couch. "Your dad said it was fine."
"Oh seriously?" You ask as you look back at him.
He winks at you and says "yep!" You lean over to kiss him on the cheek as Katie walks in.
"Twent. I took a nap, and I'm ready to play. Are you ready?"
He looks at you helplessly and you laugh.
"Yeah I can play for a minute."
"I'm gonna go Change clothes. Be back in a minute." You say looking over your shoulder back at him.
"Katie. Be nice to Trent while I'm gone."
You hear her giggle as you walk up the stairs.
You put on a pair of jeans and a tshirt, the same color as his shirt and then you fix your hair and makeup.
When you go back downstairs, Trent is sitting in the floor, playing with a Barbie doll while Katie is at her play stove. You slip your phone out of your back pocket and snap a picture of him, but forget to turn off the sound. When the camera sound goes off, he looks up at you and red rushes to his cheeks.
"You're cute.." You say as you walk over to the couch and sit behind him.
He turns and looks at you and rolls his eyes. And then leans back on your legs. He looks up at you and says "you look pretty"
"Thank you!" Katie says, walking back over to him. Trent tries to hide his smile, as do you. After playing with her a few more minutes, he says "we gotta go, Katie. I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay.." She says looking sad, and gives him a hug. He hugs her back and then stands up and looks at you.
"Ready to go?" He says as his eyes dance even more.
"Absolutely." You say as he takes your hand and helps you up off the couch.
