How To Save A Life

Chapter 21

Alyssa's POV

Okay so what is a girl suppose to wear to a guy's house? Not just any guy the guy she had her first kiss with. The guy she maybe likes.

I wish I could have Kacey over to help, but no she is no even answering her phone.

I wouldn't be surprised if she is over Jacob's house.

Okay I have to be over Tom's house in about 10 minutes and that is about how long it takes to get there. So let me just throw on some leggings and my favorite plaid button down shirt.

I get into my car and drive to Tom's house. I am right on time, that is good because I like to be on time.

I am about to knock but the door swings open before my knuckles even touch it.

Guess who is standing behind the door?

If you guessed Tom... You win a prize!

"Hey!" Tom said leaning against the door.

"Hi." I said nervously. Now I am regretting what I wore.

Tom is wearing a pair of sweatpants and a play white T-shirt. I feel too dressed up.

"Come on in." Tom finally realized I was just standing outside of his house.

"Thanks." I said walking in with my head down.

"So what is your favorite movie?" Tom asked.

"Umm I don't know. I don't have one." I said as Tom was standing in front of me while I tried to keep my eyes off of him.

"Really? I thought everyone had a favorite movie." He said dumbfounded.

"Not me." I said truthfully.

"Ohh okay." Tom started walking away, "Do you like The Little Mermaid?"

I finally caught up to him in his living room, "Yea, that is a good movie."

"Awesome! Why don't you sit down while I make us some popcorn." Tom instructed while starting the DVD.

"Okay." I said as he walked away to he kitchen I am guessing.

Right after the previews finish Tom is back here with a huge bowl of popcorn.

"Great! I finished right before the movie started." He said sitting right next to me and putting the popcorn on the table in front of us.

I mostly was watching the movie the whole time. Sometimes I was glancing at Tom trying to figure him out.

Who invites a girl over to watch a kid movie?

I think I finally figure it out when the song Kiss The Girl played and I looked over at Tom to see him staring at me.

I look back to the TV trying not to look at Tom for the rest of the movie.

After the happily ever after, the movie ended.

Tom gets up to turn off the TV and then comes back and sits next to me.

I am staring at the black screen of the TV, still trying to avoid Tom's gaze.

It doesn't really work out when he grabs my chin and makes me look at him.
