Ain't No Way We're Goin' Home (a Rydellington/R5 Fan Fic)

Chapter 4

Rydel's POV

I wake up wrapped in a pair of warm, strong arms as I hear the peaceful sound of more rainfall. I bury my nose into a muscular chest as I feel our hearts beat in sync. I never want to move, but I know I have to.

"Good morning, Delly," a fully dressed and showered Ellington whispers as I look up at him. His lips aren't even a centimeter away from mine, and it's driving me crazy. Does he want me to kill him with kisses right now?

"I-I thought you might have to pee again so I decided to stay here with you after my shower," he stammers adorably.

"Thanks," I smile. He carries me to the bathroom and lets me do my business before he carries me back downstairs. I hold him tightly before he rests me in my recliner.

"Where is everybody?" I yawn.

"Rocky is showering, Ross is sleeping, Ryland is also asleep, and Riker is...right there," Ellington states as he looks at a sleepy Riker who is coming down the stairs. Dammit, there goes my alone time with Ellington.

"Good morning Ellington. Good morning Del," he sighs sleepily.

"Morning," I grumble unenthusiastically.

"Good morning Riker," Ellington says casually as Riker plops himself down on the couch.

"I'm going to go make some tea for Delly. Do you want any, Riker?" Ellington offers.

"No thanks," Riker yawns. Ell wanders into the kitchen and starts the tea, and I can't help but steal glances at him. Gosh, I will never be able to think about anything but him ever again!

"What are you looking at?" Riker asks, looking into the kitchen.

"Nothing! I'm just...looking to see if my tea is ready," I giggle awkwardly.

"Well I think it'll be ready when the tea pot whistles," he laughs.

"Right," I sigh. I continue to stare at Ellington longingly, blocking out the rest of the world. The way his hair falls is just so perfect, and his lips look so plump and kissable. I just want to be in his arms, where I feel peaceful and relaxed and calm and safe.

"Rydel!" Riker exclaims.

"What?" I growl.

"Is there something going on between you and Ellington?" he asks.

"No," I sigh sadly. "That kiss the other night just felt really weird, so I want to talk about it with him though."

"Ok, well do you want me to take over the tea so you two can talk?" he offers.

"Yes," I smile. "Thank you so much, Riker!" He gives me a hug before looking into my eyes.

"But you remember that you and Ellington can't be a couple, right?" he verifies.

"I know," I groan.

"Remember, I'm just in the kitchen and if I see any funny business, I'm coming right back here and I'm going to kick Ellington's ass," he whispers as he walks off. A few seconds later, Ellington comes running back into the room.

"Riker said you wanted to talk to me," he breaths nervously as he kneels next to my chair. He caresses my face in his hands and brings his face closer to mine.

"Ellington," I moan before he leans in. We can't kiss. We can't kiss. I can't give into the urge to kiss those sweet lips, nor can I fight it. Right before our lips collide, a slamming door causes me to jump.

"I can't believe your stupid phone woke me up, Ryland!" Ross screams, running down the stairs. I pull away from Ell, leaning back in the chair before Ross can see us.

"I can't believe your stupid screaming woke me up, Ross!" dad yells from his bedroom. Soon, the entire family is in the living room, arguing about who woke who up. I run my hands through my messy hair as I let out an annoyed grunt. I stare longingly at Ellington, who is sitting on the couch innocently. Rocky eventually comes downstairs and talks with him, while Riker makes "omelets",aka scrambled eggs. After I eat Riker's attempt at making breakfast, I fall asleep in my recliner.

I let out a yawn as I become aware of my surroundings as I wake up. I'm under a blanket in someone's arms and my head is resting on their chest. Suddenly, someone lifts up the blanket and I stare into his sweet eyes. He quickly pulls the blanket back against his chest before slowly peeking at me again.

"Peek-a-boo!" he shouts as he slams the blanket back against his chest.

"Ellington" I giggle as I poke my head out of the blanket. I notice all of my brothers are scattered throughout the living room. "What am I doing on your lap?"

"You were shivering, so I thought you would be warmer here," he panics.

"Where are mom and dad?" I yawn.

"They went out for an early dinner," Ross laughs.

"Dinner?" I question.

"Ya, you slept through the entire day!" Rocky exclaims.

"Damn," I groan. "What are we going to do for dinner?"

"I'm glad you asked," Ryland smirks.

"Uh-oh," I grumble.

"We're going to have a cook off!" he announces. "Rocky and Riker versus me and Ross!"

"As I said earlier...uh-oh," I sigh.

"And you and Ellington are going to be the judges!" he exclaims.

"Save me Ellington," I whisper, my head still rested on his chest.

"Relax, if anything goes wrong I can just make you a bowl of my famous Cheerios," he laughs.

"Cheerios..." Rocky sneers.

"Well, we're off to the market, call us if you need anything," Riker smiles, grabbing the keys. The rest of my brothers follow him through the pouring rain, rushing into the car. Now it's just Ellington and I.

"Del, we need to talk," he sighs, pulling my face close to his.

"About what?" I shiver as his lips move so close to mine that they're almost touching.

"About the fact that I've been madly in love with you for five years and I can't hide it any longer," he whispers, "I love you."

"I love you too," I moan as my lips melt into his. Everything slips away as our lips begin to move in perfect sync. He lays down on the couch and I straddle him before pressing my lips back against his. We continue making out for the next half hour, until the door creaks open.

"Hi! We're home! The restaurant was...oh my stars!" mom gasps when she sees me on top of Ellington. I jump off Ellington and jerk my head over to look at my shocked parents.

"Uh-oh."
