Barely Legal

Chapter 3

Sutton's POV
I lie awake in the huge bed that just seems to swallow me. I've been here in Cali for about a week and it's been great. I haven't gotten to know Wes and Keaton's friend Drew but he seems pretty chill. I hear the strumming of a guitar coming from the studio next door to me.

Thinking that Keats or Wes are still up, I crawl out of bed. I walk over to my dresser grabbing the flannel that is one of my brothers and slipping it on to go over my short spandex shorts and grey cami. I walk out of my room and crack open the studio door. Wes nor Keaton or in there. But I do see Drew. Before I have time to leave, I've already caught his attention.

"Oh hey Sutton."

"H-Hi. I didn't mean to interrupt you. I'll just leave." I say, getting ready to turn around.

"No you're fine. You want to stay in here? I could use the company." He says, giving me a warm smile.

"Sure." I answer, smiling back as I walk in, shutting the door behind me. I walk over to the black futon that sits in the corner, across from him.

"Couldn't sleep?" He asks breaking the silence between us as he continues to lightly and quietly strumming different chords on the guitar.

"Yeah. I just can't believe I'm out here. I've been dying to move out here to get away from life in Washington but now it's just so surreal." I say and he nods. "I'm sorry I'm probably just babbling on and on." I say and he nods politely.

"No you're not. It's actually nice to get to know you more. I haven't really had the chance to talk to you that much." He says and I nod. "Plus it's not everyday you get to talk with a beautiful girl at 2:30 in the morning." He says with an adorable laugh causing me to blush.

"Well thank you."

"How are you enjoying LA so far?"

"Well it seems nice but I haven't really had the opportunity to explore much. I've been dying to go to the beach." I say and he nods.

"I just might have to show you around." He winks causing me to blush.

"Wow you have a way of making people blush." I say causing him to lightly laugh.

"Only gorgeous girls named Sutton." He says and I lightly laugh.

"Well I'm kinda sleepy so I'm going to head to bed and let you finish what you were doing." I say, getting up and heading towards the door.

"Sutton?"

"Yeah Drew?"

"Is that my flannel?" He asks with a light laugh.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I thought it was Wes or Keaton's." I quickly apologize.

"No you're fine. You should keep it, my clothes look better on you anyways." He says and I blush. "Goodnight Sutt."

"Goodnight Drew." I say, before walking out of the studio. I walk into my room and shut my door behind me. I lay back down in my bed and think. Is Drew interested in me? He was kinda flirting. What am I thinking. I'm not even legal yet.

*Next Day*

I wake up to the sound of people talking and pans clattering upstairs. I slowly get out of bed and notice I still have Drew's flannel on. I decide just to keep it on since I am super cold and I walk upstairs.

"Sleeping beauty has finally woken up." Drew jokes from the stove. I almost fall on the floor seeing him in basketball shorts and no shirt, showing off his muscles, six pack and tattoos.

"Haha so funny." I joke, sitting down next to Keaton on the bar stools.

"Morning sis." Keat's says standing up and kissing my forehead before going around the bar to help Drew with breakfast.

"Where's Wes?"

"He went to go get Jamba Juice." He says and I nod.

"Look who finally arose from the dead." Wes jokes as he walks into the kitchen, setting the four drinks down on the counter.

"A girl needs her sleep." I say as Keats puts a plate of pancakes in front of me.

"Where'd you get that flannel sis?" Keats asks as he sits down next to me.

"I uh actually found it in Wes's old closet at the house." I say and they nod. I look over at Drew and he winks at me, I blush looking down at my food.

"So why are your guys plans today?" Keats asks.

"I'm meeting up with Kenny to go get a new surfboard." Wes answers.

"I have that meeting with that record label about my single." Keats answers.

"I guess I'll just chill here." I answer.

"Oh crap, we were going to take you out today weren't we?" Wes asks and I nod.

"You know I could take her out." Drew offers.

"Really?" Keats asks.

"Yeah I don't mind." Drew answers.

"Do you mind sis?" Wes asks.

"No it's cool." I answer.

Drew's POV
I had just finished getting ready. I was wearing some khaki shorts, a red and black flannel button up and black Vans. I stood upstairs waiting for Sutton to come out of her room. Within a few seconds Sutton comes up the stairs.

My jaw almost falls to the floor. She's wearing a flowy black tank top with a white pocket, a pair of light washed ripped jeans, and black Converse. She has makeup on which just enhances her beautiful features and her dark brown hair is curled.

"You good there Drew?" She asks with a light laugh.

"Oh uh yeah. You ready to go?" I ask and she nods. I don't know how I am going to survive. I've known this girl almost two weeks and I can feel something with her.
