Ellington's POV:
I follow Rydel's demand to tell me to get out. She only calls me by my last name when she's mad or upset with me.
As I'm half way down the hall my mind realizes something.....Did she just admit that she likes me? I grin widly at the thought. Should I go back and say I like her too? I stopped in my tracks and heard little cute snores. She's asleep. She needed time to calm anyway. After that mess I didn't feel like swimming anymore. I change into my green mustache cat pj's and sneak quietly into Delly's room.
There she was.. dreaming away. She's so adorable. I crawl on her bed and cuddle up with her. I gently pull the covers over us and kiss her head. I then felt her arms wrap around me and she burries her face into my chest. I played with her beautiful hair until I began to drift off.
Since I'm a light sleeper, I heard footsteps come near Rydel's room and then the door squeak. I just kept my eyes closed to be safe. All of a sudden I heard a slight 'Awh!' then a photo click. Right away I could tell it was Stormie. She's always taking pictures. Haha but I don't mind because I want this moment to last. I open my eyes a little. Stormie turns off Rydel's music and her small lamp light and closes the door leaving us to dream and cuddle together the rest of the night.
*The next morning*
Rydel's POV:
I wake up to arms around me. I didn't mind it actually. I was so comfortable like this. Wait...who is this..? The mystery guy flips over on his side, letting me go and pulling the covers over his face. I quickly get up and try to see his face. I get ontop of him to try and get a better look. I take off the covers, gasp and fall ontop of him in shock. I then whispered to myself "Ellington?"
His body shifted and he awoke to find me on him. "Well hellooooo" Ratliff spoke up in his morning voice. Oh my god it's so deep and raspy!!!! Just then my mind began to think out loud. "Ell keep talking!" I moan out. I cover my mouth and quickly get up and off the bed. "Oh I get it..you like my morning voice, huh? That's exactly what Kelly used to say to me." he said with a wink. I bit my lip. "Uh no. I could care less about your..uh..deep voice in the morning.." I spoke in denial. "Uh huh, suuree."
I put up my hair and quickly change down to my underwear and bra. I caught Ell staring. "What? It's just like a bikini ya know." I giggle. I put on my ripped jeans and a croptop. "I know ..." he answered. "Why are you changing so fast?" Ell questioned. I rolled my eyes. "Because! If my mom foun-" he cut me off. "Your mom already knows." I look at him confused. "She came in last night and took a picture of us." I smile and then continue. "Okay, but I know if the boys suspect something they won't stop until they know -..EVERYTHING! Especially Riker and dad. they'll FREAK!" Ratliff looks down and my rug. "Why were you even with me anyway?" I asked glossing my lips. "Because I knew you needed comforting and.....I like you too."
My eyes went wide. How'd he know I liked him!?! That is until I remembered last night. "Oh..Right.." I'm so mortified! "Hey, Del, there's no reason to be embarrassed you know..?"
"I know..I just hate how you found out and remembered." I answer letting down my hair. "Why?" I rolled my eyes. "Because Ell! It can ruin the band!" I looked into his eyes. I could tell I just shattered him. "Ell...I-I'm sorry.... I didn't mean it like that." He got up and out of the bed. "No..I get it.." And he left closing my door. Oh great. Now I'm the bad guy.
