California girls

Chapter 8

Hillary P.O.V

Its been a couple weeks since the Halloween party, and it was by far the best halloween day ever.

~Flashback~

I walk into the room, i had been outside getting fresh air from the stuffy crowded room, lights flashing here and there, then theres Ryan. He approaches me slowly, almost slow motion as in the movies

"Want to dance?" He asks

I nod, he strides us towards the dancing area as a slow song plays through the stereos.

He leans in and all i can think of is, is he going to kiss me?

"I like you" Ryan whispers, with one swift morion he twirls me and then leaves, leaving me stranded alone in the crowded space. he walks back towards the guys Bucky and Josh as the song ends,

They where watching with grins on their faces, probably knowing that Ryan was going to do that. They pat him on the back and tease him, he just blushes slightly and stares at me.

I was in such a shocked state, the room was spinning from the amount of my intake on booze and vodka shots that when the girls came forward to bug me i ran off. all i remember is Ryans disappointed esspresion as he thought i didn't like him back, if only he knew.

~End of flashback.~

"We're here" says Ryan stopping the Jeep. Bucky jumps out of the Jeep and walk into his house leaving just me and Ryan in the jeep.

Alone

He clears his throat awkwardly then drives to my house. We sit in silence for a couple minutes before Ryan pulls over.

"What are we doing?" I ask confused.

"Talking" he replies seriously. I shift uncomfortably in my seat.

"Hillary i really like you" he pauses

I could smell the alcohol on his breath and started to wonder if he would also say this sober

"I'd like to take you out some time" he says shyly, shifting, his eyes darting nervously back and forth.

I turn my head towards the window in attempt to hide the blush rising to my cheeks. I nibble my lip nervously,

"That'd be nice" i say barely above a whisper, his head snaps towards me,

"Really?" He says a smile in his tone

"Really" i say chuckling.

"Great" Ryan says

"Tommorow?" I suggest.

"Ya sure how does 5:30 sound?" Ryan chirps

"Its a date" i say

He drives back onto the road and heads to my house, a bit further till we get to my house, about to open the door Ryan stops me

i look confusingly at him "ill get it" he finishes hurrying to my door. He opens it and lets me out.

"Thanks" i say quietly and blushing red like a tomato, we look at each other for a bit before i clear my throat and walk up my driveway into my house. 'Well that was awkward' i mumble before rushing to my room. Almost instantly i phone Aprill , to tell her about the exciting news.

"Really?!" She exclaims as i explain to her what just happened.

"Really" i groan holding the phone inches from my ear from her loud shouts and squeals.

"We're coming over stay right there" she says

i toss my cell phone onto my bed, deciding against telling the guys since Ryan has probably already told them.
