My Sisters Best Friend

Ch.4

Waking up to the sound of music and laughter i move around in my bed trying to block out the sound of the music. "Im in love with the shape of you, push and pull like a magnitude.." i hear through the entire house. Rolling onto my back i stare up at my blank ceiling; when i was little i had those glow in the dark stars on my ceiling. The tape residue from 8 years ago is still there as my mind drifts to last night. The words, "stupid" "idiot" "fool" and "bad friend" take over the good memories of my childhood as i start to think of what happened between me and Autumn in the kitchen.

I wake up again to a silent house and my dimly lit room catching the slight sunrise behind my dark curtains. Picking up my phone as it reads back "5:30 AM" and making me aware that my phone is dying. Rubbing my eyes i push my comforter to the side and get off my bed as my feet meet the cold wooden floor in my room. I don't bother to put a shirt on as i walk out of my room in my boxers.

"Amanda?" I yell throughout the house. Soon i come face to face or should i say face to legs as i stare at my sister hanging upside down off of the leather sofa. "Do i even want to ask?" I begin but answer my own question as i walk away to the kitchen.

Reaching the cabinet i open it and take down one box of frosted flakes. Overly sugary but it makes my mouth want to dance, as "non manly" as that sounds.

"We have to stop meeting like this Mr. Cadence" i hear from behind me interrupting my peaceful thoughts of cereal.

Turning around i see Autumn in Brodys jersey, staring at the familiar number two on the front and back as the last name Jensen lies above in bold white letters. The Jensens aren't exactly known to be the wealthiest of families but i will tell you this much they do love their son with all their hearts. Brody and his little sister May are the only two that are alive to carry on the name.

"Would you mind pouring me some of those frosted flakes?" Nodding my head i run my fingers across the cardboard box and begin to pour watching the familiar golden crisps fall into the bowl. "Milk?" i ask her while she stares at her burgundy cased phone.

"Hm?" She mumbles not realizing i asked her if she wanted milk in her bowl or not. "Do you want milk in your cereal?" She finally looks up at me now realizing i was speaking to her. "Oh im sorry yes i would love milk is it soy?"

"Yeah i think so, my mom has been on this whole vegan thing lately. I honestly don't even remember when the last time i had a burger was." I say while getting a reaction of laughter from Autumn, i watch the way her eyes crinkle and her mouth turns upwards as her eyes carry that spark in them.

"As much as i would love to talk about being vegan i am going to go eat this delicious bowl of cereal and head home. I have so much homework from the first day its ridiculous." She says while grabbing the bowl of cereal behind me and walking out of the kitchen. Leaving her scent behind.

"Lets go, lets go!" I yell as my team walks on their heels watching the opposing team. Daniel catches the ball as it spirals to him from Jackson, "To your left Murray!" I yell out staying on his back, i catch the ball and run..

***

"Good win last night Danvers" I hear one of my team mates yell from down the hall while giving me a clap on the back. Nodding in his direction i smile and walk to my locker.

Opening my locker i take out my gym bag and smell it as it makes itself evident that i need to clean. Scrunching my face up in disgust i take my keys and phone; slamming my locker shut i begin to walk out of school.

One bonus to being on the football team is probably getting to leave early the next day after a big game. Especially when you win.

"Caden!" I turn around and am greeted with a big hug nearly knocking my 190 pound frame over. Looking down i see a mop full of dark hair, Autumn. "Hey, what happened?" I laugh while moving her hair out of her face. "I just wanted to say congratulations on last night! I was ridiculously sick and i felt bad for not showing up to be your favorite cheer captain." She says all this really fast finishing with a big release of breath and a huge smile.

Letting out a light laugh i give a simple "thanks" hugging her and walking out, she seemed to have caught me on one of my really busy days. I have a surprise to plan for a lucky girl.

***
"Do you guys sell beach roses?" I ask the lady whose name reads, 'Susie.'

"We do actually! Odd that you say that, no one ever buys those." I smile knowing that these are going to be extremely special.

"Ill take 3 dozens please" her eyes widen in surprise.

"Who's the lucky lady? If my husband ever did that for me well i would be the most honored woman in the world" laughing at her response i just say thank you and pay for the flowers.

Placing the flowers carefully in my back seat i text her knowing that she was probably waiting for my text all day.

C: Meet me at the beach in 10 minutes
A: Oh gosh i just took my makeup off!
C: See you there :)

Setting the blanket on the sand i make sure the fire is clear to see when she arrives. 

9:45 PM

As if on cue i catch sight of her, even without makeup she looks gorgeous. Her dark hair blowing in the wind making its way to her face. She gets closer and her mouth drops in what i hope is amazement.

"Caden.. this is amazing, what is all this?" She asks me in shock. I pull her into a hug kissing her on her forehead.

"This is all for you, look what i got you" i lead to down to the blanket and give her the three dozen of special roses she loves.

"Oh my gosh" is all she says until she drops them and pulls me into a kiss. Running my fingers through her hair i pull her closer to deepen the kiss.

"Happy anniversary Caden" she whispers whilst breaking the kiss.

"Happy anniversary Alexandra"
