Chapter Eight

Here I am standing on his door step. Ocean pretty much had to push me out of her car so that I would come and talk to him.

I knocked on his door shyly which wasn’t a normal thing for me to do. I could just jump the fence and run home to save me from all this embarrassment. Not that going out with him would be a bad thing. I really like him and think he is the absolute best and everything but I don’t know if I would be a suitable girlfriend for him. I couldn’t even tell he liked me.

The door opened snapping me from my thoughts. Quinn stood there wearing his usually diesel singlet and stubbies. Waiting for me to enter.

“Ahhhh…Kia ora?” I was confused I didn’t know what to say.

“Hey do you want a drink?” he asked walking to the fridge.

“Yes please. After getting bossed around by Ocean most the day I think I need a beer,” I said taking a seat on one of the bar stools.

“You told me ages ago how bossy she can be. Glass or bottle?” Quinn questioned walking over to the cupboard to get a glass.

“Bottle like usual bro. Ocean said you wanted to ask me something?” I stated taking my bottle from him. “Thanks.”

“Oh yeah that…” he mumbled coming to sit next to me on a bar stool, clearing his throat. “ I know that we have known each other for like ages and we are really great friends, I wanted to-“

I cut him off  “Yes”

“What?” he asked not catching on.

“You were going to ask me if I would be your girlfriend right?” I said taking a gulp of my beer.

“Yeah but-"

I cut him off again. “Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend.”

“Really?” he didn’t seem to believe me.

“Really. Ocean told me you were going to ask me and she said I couldn’t reject you. And I was standing at your front door thinking about it and I really really like you.” I explained.

“So you’re not just saying yes because Ocean told you to right?” Quinn asked coming up behind me wrapping his arms around me.

“I want to be your girlfriend”. I replied leaning back into his arms.

“Okay” he said kissing my head.

“Can we go watch a movie?” I asked finishing my beer.

“Of course babe. I want to watch Mt. Zion” he said letting go of me.

I didn’t want him to let go he was really warm. Or it could have been the fact that it was summer.

“Rebecca told me it was good.” I said walking over and lied down on one of the couches.

“You’re going to make me sit all by myself alone?” Quinn asked teasingly.

“Yup” I said stretching out more closing my eyes for a second. Ooff! Bad idea. He just sat on my stomach! “GET OFF ME POAKA MOMONA” I yelled at him.

“Nope” he said making himself comfy.

I brought my knee up and got him in the face.

“Ouch!” he screamed like a girl “What was that for bro?”

“GET OFF ME OR I'LL CALL OCEAN TO COME AND GIVE YOU A HIDING!” I yelled.

“No no no please not that, I value my precious face and family jewels,” he squealed jumping off the couch.

I moved my legs so I was in a sitting position. “Sit poaka momona, I want to watch the movie.”

Quinn sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders like he usually does.

“You’re not angry with me are you babes?” he asked snuggling into me.

“Could I ever be?” I shot back sarcastically. I pushed play on the remote and the movie started.
