For Keeps

Chapter 12: Sleepover

A/N: Hi :)

Kat’s POV

After getting lattes with Riley I headed home.

I sighed unlocking my front door. “I’M HOME” I yelled; until I realized I was the only one home.

I grabbed my phone, searching through it to find something to do, and then I got an idea. I dialed Riley’s number and told her to come over that we were going to have a sleepover and then I called Rachel.

“Hey!” I said. “Hi Kat!” she said. “Uh, Riley and I are gonna have a sleepover and I was wondering if you want to come over.” I asked. “Sure! I’ll be there in 15 minutes.” We said our goodbyes and I went into the kitchen to order a pizza.

15 minutes later the doorbell rang. I opened the door to a smiling Riley and Rachel. Wow that’s a mouthful. They came in and sat themselves down on the couch. A couple of minutes later the doorbell rang again.

“I’ll get it.” I said. “That’s good ‘cause I wasn’t getting up.” Riley said from the couch. I chuckled and opened the door to a guy about 6’0 with messy brown hair and blue eyes.

He smiled at me, “That’ll be $15.80” he said handing me the pizza and the mozzarella sticks. I set them down on the table and searched through my wallet. While I was searching Riley yelled, “Is he hot?!” from the couch.

I heard Rachel burst out laughing from the couch. I chuckled at them. “Get your lazy butt up and come see for yourself!” I yelled back. Riley groaned. “It’s not like I can anyway, I have a boyfriend. Rachel you go see if he’s hot.” She yelled again.

A moment later Rachel was pushed out the doorway of the TV room. I watched as she rolled her eyes, but a small smile tugged at her lips. She looked to Pizza Boy and smiled. “Yeah he’s hot.” She yelled back.

I smiled as I saw his cheeks tint pink. Aw this was too cute! “You guys hang here for a second I need to go get more money.” I said. I didn’t need more money; I just wanted to get them alone.

I waited a moment before I walked back out. “Here you go.” I said handing him the money. I watched Rachel wink at him and hand him his pen back, before walking away. “Girls night?” he spoke for the first time. I chuckled. “Ha, yeah. And here, just for making you wait so long.” I handed him a couple of extra dollars.

“Thanks.” He gave me a lopsided grin and made his way back to his car as I shut the door. I walked back into the TV room to see Rachel and Riley already fighting about what movie to watch. “Hey.” I said. “Hey!” I said a bit louder. “HEY.” I yelled. “WHAT?!” they said in unison.

“We can watch both.” I said.

After watching The Notebook, some creepy horror movie, and an action movie; we took a pee break. “I need to peeeeeee!” Riley complained. “So go to the bathroom.” I stated. “Ughhhhhh.” She groaned.

I made my way into the kitchen when suddenly I heard a thump by the front door. Huh, that’s odd; I thought I locked the front door. “Kat….” I heard Riley whisper. “What?” I asked into the dark. “Did you hear that?” She asked.

“No…?” But then I heard another thump. Oh my god this was just like the horror movie we just watched. The murderer busted the front door and killed everyone. It’s just a movie Kat, it’s just a movie. But then I heard another thump this was louder and closer.

I grabbed a large can of soup, hey it was the closest thing I could find, I was gonna use it as my weapon. I slowly crept back into the TV room. It didn’t exactly help that all of the lights were off. “Ow, son of a biscuit.” I said as I stubbed my toe.

“Kat someone is outside the house shut up!” Riley hissed as she and Rachel hid under a blanket. What wuss’. Everything was silent when I suddenly heard someone unlocking the front door. I held my breath. The front door opened and I charged tackling whoever was coming in.

“GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!” I yelled as I began hitting them with the can of soup. “KAT WOULD YOU STOP HITTING ME!” The male voice said from under me. I recognized the voice though. “AXEL!!” I screamed. “WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL? YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME OH MY GOD!” I hit him on his arm.

Suddenly Riley flicked the lights on, and she and Rachel began laughing at the scene before them. I was sitting on top of my brother with my arm back in an attacking stance holding the can of soup. “Were you hitting me with a can of soup?” Axel raised a brow.

“Yes. You could’ve called, by the way.” I grumbled. I directed my vision over to Riley and Rachel who were just about dying on the floor in the hallway; literally though. Rachel was rolling on the floor and Riley had tears streaming down her face.

“Would you guys shut up.” I mumbled. “Nice to know you missed me, little sis” Axel said while patting my head. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?” I asked him. Axel has been away at college for a couple of years. “I wanted to surprise you, clearly I shouldn’t do that anymore.” He mumbled the last part but I heard it.

I punched him in the arm. “Just don’t scare me like that!” I shrieked. “Hey big bro” Riley said giving Axel a hug. “Hey Riles.” He smiled. “Hi, I’m Rachel.” Rachel smiled. “Hi, I’m Axel, nice to meet you” They held each other’s stare for a moment, but neither Riley nor I missed it.

I raised a brow at her and she smirked, we were thinking the same thing.

My friends, Riley and I have a plan.
