Bleeding Hearts

Chapter 15

*Ryan's Point of View*

"Ryan?" Ashley asked. I had to say something. "Well..." I said. Ooh I have a plan. "Well how about we make a game out of it? For a week you can observe me and guess and I have to answer completely truthful. Deal?" I asked. She thought about it for a moment. "Alright." She agreed. Just then, the Alfredo was done. "So truth or dare?" I asked her. I intended to get her back for this. "Dare." She said. Oh yes. "I dare you to..." I smirked at her. "To what?" She asked. SUSPENSE. "I dare you to not go on the date with Alex." I said. Her eyes got wide. "No. Dare again. Everything will be fine, Ryan." She said firmly. "Fine. I dare you to stay at my house afterward and tell me everything that happens. And I mean everything." I said. Next best thing that she'll agree with. "Fine. Now eat your Alfredo." She said. I took a bite and it was delicious. "This is great." I complimented her. "Thanks. You made it." She said. "No, I made all the mistakes, and you fixed them. Such as I almost put a tablespoon in instead of a teaspoon." I corrected. "One little mistake." She argued. "And I almost put in the measurements in for the pasta when I was making the sauce." I said. "Alright fine, but practice makes perfect." She said. Just then we heard a scream and Aiden ran down the stairs buck naked. "NO BATH!!!" He screamed. I grabbed him and handed him to my mother. "Well Adam didn't complain!" She said half carrying half dragging him up the stairs. "But he's crazy! He's drunk on orange soda from whataburger!" He yelled and struggled more. "No, he's just good with baths." She said, finally getting into the bathroom again. She shut and locked the door again. "Well." Ashley said, continuing to eat. "What a lovely family. "Yes, so proper." I agreed. "I knew they had whataburger." I mumbled. "What?" Ashley asked, confused. "Nothing, I just figured they had whataburger and would just throw out whatever I burned. However you helped, so we get something edible." I explained. "Well great. Oh dang it it's seven, I need to get home." Ashley said looking at the clock. She quickly ate the last bit of her Alfredo and washed the plate. "See you tomorrow?" I asked. "No, I'm riding my lesbian unicorn to the moon where I will join my purple alien friends and spend the rest of my life being a rice farmer." She said smiling and left out the door. I smiled. "I'll see you off!" I yelled out the door. And she was gone. I went up the stairs and found Adam in a onesie in his room with superman and Batman figurines. "Ryan, what's a lesbian?" He asked me. Dang it. "Ask mom." I said and went into my room. I grabbed a book, read for a while, and slept.
