help me do this - Aaron Carpenter FF

Chapter 7 - the sound of your voice

It's the weekend and, as usual, I didn't have anything to do. My dad went of to work, as he works 6 days a week. He says he can't live without his work, sometimes he even works on Sundays. I guess this is normal for a lawyer.

I am still in bed, wondering what to do today.

-convo-

To: Chelsea

Hey, what're you doing today?

From: Chelsea

Hangin'out with Parker..

To: Chelsea

Cool have fun! :)

-end of convo-

So I couldn't do anything with Chel today.

I call Aaron.

"Hey Lis" he picks up.

"Hi. I was wondering what you'd been doing today." I tell him smiling.

"Nash will come over, you wanna hang out with us?" he asks me.

"Sure. " I answer.

"Why weren't you texting me?" he asks me.

"I-" I think of an excuse, "It's Saturday, I'm still in bed and I was just too lazy." I laugh.

"Okay, bye." he laughs and I hang up.

"Because I like the sound of your voice..." I mumble and put down my phone.

I get out of bed and pick a pair of leggings and a grey sweater.

If they're just hanging out, I don't have to dress fancy.

I go into my bathroom and look at my a face in the mirror. The mascara is still messy around my eyes. I take it off and just leave me this way.

I get dressed and notice it's not my sweater I'm wearing. It's the one Aaron gave to me. I smile, willing to take it off, thinking about how awkward it would be if I'd show up at his with the sweater. I pick a khaki hoodie and wear a grey shirt under it, in case I'd be too warm. 

I keep my hair loose over my shoulders and remember I don't know where exactly Aaron is living.

Maybe he would be annoyed, if I call him again but I couldn't resist his beautiful voice.

"Sorry." I apologize.

"For what?" he chuckles.

"Calling you." I answer, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Why would you need to apologize for that?" he wonders.

"You think I was mad at you earlier?" he answers his question himself.

"Uh, I wanted to ask you how I come from my house to yours.." I say insecure.

"I can pick you up if you want." he offers.

"I thought you were just living down the street?" I question.

"Yeah, so actually you just go down towards Lane Street, count the houses I'm living in the 14th one on your side." he says.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." I smile.

"See you." he hangs up.

I get my keys, my phone and a couple bucks, I won't let Aaron pay anything for me again. I get out the house and follow Aarons description.

I knock and immediately the door opens. 

"Hey." I smile at Aaron.

"Hey." he greets me and hugs me fast.

I follow him through the house, into what I guess is his room. 

"Sorry my room is a little messy" he apologizes and sits on his couch.

"Nah, it's nice." I smile seating myself next to him. 

"I thought about this Mason thing..." he tells me.

"I just wanted to make sure you know that I'm always here for you. Whenever he bothers you again let me know, I'll help you out, okay?" he says placing his hand at the back of his neck.

I blush:"That's cute." I look to my feet.

We both don't really know what to say, so Aaron turns on the tv.

"Can I get you anything?" he asks me, "I've got some chocolate, if you like."

I hesitate, "Mh yeah okay." I say and watch him leave the room. 

I relax on his couch and realize I am actually really happy, and I don't know why.

Soon Aaron returns with a bottle of coke, 3 cups and some chocolate.

Suddenly someone knocks on the door.

Nash enters the room and sits next to Aaron. 

"Hi Nash" I greet him.

"Hey guys!" he says.

We watch some tv until it's time for lunch.

"So what do you want to eat?" Aaron asks us.

"We could just go out and have a burger."  Nash suggests.

I nod looking at Aaron, who agrees as well. 

We get into Aarons car, I sit in the back and Nash gets in the passenger seat. 

Nash turns up the radio and I hear him and Aaron talk, but I can't follow the conversation.

We go to the  McDonalds drive-thru and all order tons of things. I get my money out of the pocket of my hoodie and hand it to Aaron, but he ignores me. Nash pays for everything and Aaron hands the bags back to me. 

They had turned the music down and I feel bad for them paying everything. 

"We had this discussion already, Aaron." I remind him of when we went to the supermarket. 

"I don't know what you're talking about." he chuckles.

"I feel really bad if I don't pay for anything." I mumble.

"Okay." he simply says.

"Stop teasing me!" I laugh and hit his arm.

"Ou!" he screams and laughs afterwards.

Soon we get back to Aarons and watch a movie while eating all the food we've bought.

"Aaron? Where can I find the toilet?" I whisper in his ear.

He quickly describes the way and I get up.

--Aarons POV--

As soon as Lisa left the room, Nash turned to me.

"She likes you, man!" Nash says.

I don't really know how to react.

"But you're probably right with going slow. Just let me know when you wanna make a move. I'll give you some advice then." he talks.

"Uhm, yeah" I mutter.

Lisa returns from the bathroom and Nash immediately catches me starring at her. She sits between us, when Nashs Phone rings.

"Hey Babe." he answers it.

"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes." he sighs.

"No it's fine..."

"Yep, love you." He says and hangs up.

"I gotta go, Lacey's calling" he tells us.

"Bye bro.." I murmur.

"See ya." Lisa says and Nash leaves us two alone.
