My life as Scarlett Ryder.

Chapter 11

Chase's P.O.V

I groaned and whacked my head against my pillow again. I've been doing this repeatedly for the past hour since Scarlett fled from my room. Tiff left 20 minutes later, saying she was tired.

Why did I do that?! Now she'll never even consider going out with me. Even as a friend!

I've just blown all of my chances with being with her. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I cursed myself over and over again until I heard a small creak from the door.

I almost instantly knew it was Blake, come to tease me about how 'amazing' the date went. I groaned. "Go away Blake." I muttered, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Do you really want me to go away Chase?" I frowned. That didn't sound like Blake. That's because it isn't Blake you numbskull.

I frowned and turned to face the culprit, surprised to see it as Scarlett. "O-Oh hey!" I grinned sheepishly at her. She sighed and sat on the end of my bed. She bought her knees upto her chest and she hugged them.

"Okay." She said meekly. "What?" I asked, inching closer to her.

"Okay, I'll go on a date with you." My eyes widened and I broke out into a huge grin. She put her index finger upto stop me. "But, you have to tell Blake."

I sighed but nodded anyway. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a tight hug. "Thank you so much!" She giggled lightly and shrugged. "It's okay. I mean, anyway, the date with you can't be any worse than the one I've had today."

I chuckled and nodded. We both laid back on my bed and I glanced at the digital clock on my bed side. 12.35am.

My grin faltered when I realised that if me and Scarlett were going to have a proper relationship (which is what I wanted) I would have to tell her where I go every night...

Damn it.

"Yeah I guess so. My date will be much better than his." Scarlett nodded and laid down on my bed. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and she curled up next to me. "Get some rest. Tomorrows saturday so you can lay in." She nodded and closed her eyes. I started to get up to leave her when she reached out and grabbed me.

"Don't leave. He might come and get me." I sighed and knew she was talking about Leonidas. I nodded and got under the quilt with her.

I kissed her forehead and whispered to her. "Sleep tight angel." I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, with Scarlett next to me.

Scarlett's P.O.V

I mumbled something, half asleep. I cuddled my pillow closer to me then froze. Woah okay. Back up a bit. Pillows don't breathe... Or move... Or snore...

Do they? I hope not.

I opened my eyes to find Chase sleeping next to me, his arm around my waist. I blushed as I remebered that I agreed to go on a date with him, going against my brain which said he's trouble.

I giggled at his sleeping features.He looked so cute and innocent when he's sleeping. I slowly tried to get out of his grip but everytime I moved, his arm tightened around me.

I sighed and poked his cheek with my free arm. "Chase... Wake up... Chase..." I whispered, poking his cheek repeatedly until he woke up. He groaned and pulled me closer to him, as if checking I was still here. A grin formed on his face when he woke up.

"G'Morning angel." I blushed and got out of the bed. "Morning Ace." He raised an eyebrow and chuckled at my nickname for him. "Ace?"

"Mmhmm..." I murmered, making my way to the door. "Ace, short for Chase. Oh and remember to tell Blake about the date." I told him, then rushed out to my room before he could argue back.
