Surfs Up:Knowing You

3. Deal

Aaliyah POV

I wake up the next morning and Ryan is still asleep. He's adorable when he's asleep, his hair sticking up in all directions. He doesn't snore, but I can hear the sound of his deep breathing. I feel like I could watch him sleep for hours, but then I suddenly catch sight of the digital clock in the room reading 9:15am. I instantly fly into a panic.

''Oh my God" I practically scream. "It's Monday morning"

Ryan doesn't really react at first, because he's asleep. He blinks hard, before finally responding.

"Huh?"

"It's morning" I repeat, shaking him awake. "I spent the night with you, my mom's going to freak"

"Ali quit shaking, So what if its Monday morning?" He says with his sexy sleepy voice.

"So...we've got school on Monday's jackass" I say slapping him playfully on the arm. "We're and hour late, get up" I said getting up myself, slipping my shoes on. "You know..I don't want my mom to think I just slept with some random guy!"

"I'm some random guy?" Ryan grins sleepily.

"Well yeah.." I giggle at him.

I look at Ryan, and realise I have fallen into his trap. I've fallen so bad that I don't want to leave, ever.

Ryan gets out of bed looking a hot mess. No I mean like he looks really good, even though he just got out of bed. He slips on a pair of jeans and a shirt. I'm almost amazed at how fast he could get dress up in the mornings.

"Ready?" He asks

"Do I look ready?" I say sarcastically, trying to fix my hair.

"Is that a trick question?" He ask walking closer to me grabbing me gently by my shoulders. "Here, let me" He says turning me around, then fiddling with my hair.

"Ry no messing about.."

"Shh"

"Wait, How are we going to get passed your mom?"

"Now you're worried about my mom.." He chuckles.

"It's not funny Ryan, I've never done this sort of thing before.." I whisper.

"Turn around" He orders, ignoring my remark.

I smile at the way he looks at me. He almost made me feel special.

"How do I look?" I ask.

"Like a princess.." He kissed my forehead, and turned to his mirror to do his hair. He didn't do much, but the outcome was stunning, even though he just slammed some gel into his hands and combed through his hair.

I budge him out the way, so that I could see what he did with my hair, curious.

"Easy Ali, you look fine" he says rubbing the arm I budged.

"Stop calling-" I cut myself off as soon as I saw my reflection. "Woah, how did y-?"

He put his finger on my lip interrupting me. "We're going to be late for free period" He then held my hand leading me downstairs.

"So? Its free period"

"I have football practice, Coach Davidson is going to give me shit if I don't show up" He explains. "Now are you sure you don't want breakfast?" He asks.

"Let's go!" I exclam.

"Alright, woman!" He says opening the door for me. I stop after the steps that lead up to Ryan's house.

"Ryan, the school bus doesn't run through these hours..How are we going to get to school?" I turn to ask him.

"Ugh. You actually ride that thing? Ali from now on, you're taking rides with me every morning.." He says walking to press the garage door open.
