American Dream

Chap 6- Pizza robbery

I was on a roll. Don't get used to it.

~~~~~~

I licked my fingers, looking at the last piece of pizza.

"Does anyone want the last piece? No, goo-" just as I finished, Scott snatched it up. I glared at him. "That was going to be mine."

"You offered," he shrugged, taking a bite.

"Yes, because I'm British and that's what we do. What we really mean is 'I am staking claim on this pizza, you can't have it but I have to offer.' If you were British you would understand," I said. Scott and Mitch looked at me for a second, then burst out laughing. I used this opportunity to take the last bit of the piece of pizza off of Scott and eat it.

"Oi! I'm gonna get you for that," he said, getting up. I jumped up too, running behind the sofa. He chased me one way, and when I ran he switched directions. We ended up just standing either side of the sofas waiting for the other to make a move, at a stalemate and prepared to run either way. Mitch was still sat on the floor, going pink as he laughed silently.

"Shut up, m" I started, before running to my right as Scott moved quickly. We ran around the furniture, him chasing me into the kitchen and around the island, and then back into the living room and around Mitch. Eventually he caught me, wrapping his arms around my waist and picking me up as I screamed, then chucking me onto the couch and tickling me relentlessly.

"No, stop! Scott, I- ahh! Nononono, please, mercyAAHH Mitch help me, get him - get him off me, please!" I begged, breathless and squirming.

"You can make this all go away, Rory," Scott said.

"What- How- PlEASE!"

"All you have to do is say that Scott hoying is the most amazing person ever, and that you, Rory, fully concede to my flawlessness."

"Ugh, noAHH fine, Scott hoying- is.. The most.... Amazing person ev...er and.. I... Rory, fully conCEDE to his FLAWlessness."

"There, was that so hard?" Scott said, climbing off me. I didn't reply, too busy getting my breath back.

Mitch, in all of this, had been lying on the floor, laughing almost as hard as me. Now, he got up and dusted himself off.

"I just realised that I have to go, travis is taking me to the movies. You will have to meet wyatt another time. How does the day after tomorrow sound? Me and Scott have rehearsal at a weird time, the middle of tomorrow and a short one the afternoon after, but you could come in the morning," he said, looking at Scott who just nodded.

"Sure, why not. Now, go on, get to your date, you," I said to him teasingly. He just smiled and left, Waving over his shoulder.

Scott's POV

After Mitch left, Rory flopped down on the couch.

"After today, I am going to have amazing abs. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life," she said.

"I know. Well, I might have, but not often!"

Just then, I think her phone buzzed, because she lifted her hips and dug around in her pocket, pulling it out. She smiled, and I jumped onto the couch next to her to look over her shoulder.

"Who's that? Airport boy? What did he say?" I asked.

"Uh huh, Imma meet him for coffee the day after tomorrow, after I leave your house, mostly because that's the only place I know," she said, typing as she talked.

"Ooh, a date already!"

"It's not a Date Scott," she said, shoving me when she said date. "I'm just meeting him for a coffee and to maybe get to know him a bit." I rolled my eyes.
