* Ross'sPOV*

I still don't believe her one hundred percent.

Oh. Just to be clear, I'm talking about the whole thing that went down with Gina and Laura.

It just doesn't seem very characteristic of Laura to say something like that. Plus I have known Laura longer than I have known Gina.

I know what you're thinking;

If I haven't known Gina for that long, why am I making out with her constantly.

Because I can.

That sounds extremely jerk-like, but I don't mean it that way.

The thing is, I can't tell Gina that I don't believe her. She'll be pissed. She'll scream about how I lied and why I don't believe her and blah blah blah. Drama is just something I don't like.

I squeeze Gina's hand which is below the counter that we are sitting at. She smiles at her pasta, sending me a squeeze back. Her smile sends chills up my spine. How could something so small affect me like that? I shake the thought away and pick away at my food. The buttery piece of penne pasta tastes good in my mouth. I swallow in delight. Suddenly, my phone buzzes beside me. Gina looks at me puzzled.

"Who is it?" She asks, curious. Some girls would sound protective and stuff, but I could tell she was just plain curious.

I check my phone and see it's a text from Laura. "Laura," I state. I see Gina roll her eyes as she groans.

From: The Lovely Laura💋

Hey Ross. So on Friday I'm throwing a party. It would be awesome if you came❤️

Yes, Laura had typed her own contact on my phone. I don't even know where that emoji is, so I couldn't have possibly put that in.

"There is some party she is throwing on Friday. She invited me," I look up at Gina. She slowly chews her food silently. After a minute or so, she swallows.

"A party? Okay. You should go," she says with a flat tone.

"I'm only going if you can go."

She shakes her head. "If I can't go, I don't want you to miss a party. Parties are fun."

"Well, I'm asking anyway," I retort, pulling out my phone. My fingers slide over the keyboard smoothly.

To: The Lovely Laura💋

Thanks for the invite Lau. Sounds fun. Gina and I would love to go :)

I click send and set my phone down. Well, I didn't really give Laura an option to say no. Within seconds, I get a text back.

From: The Lovely Laura💋

Uh Gina? I didn't invite her...
This is my party.


To: The Lovely Laura💋

Well, if she can't go, I won't go


From: The Lovely Laura💋

No, no. I would love to have the both of you come.

I set my phone back down after my little conversation with Laura. "You're coming," I smile at Gina.

She smiles, but the smile doesn't go all the way to her eyes. "Yay." Then her smile drops. "Friday. That's one day away. I only have tomorrow to find something to wear!"

I chuckle at how crazy she is going over nothing. "Whatever you wear, you'll look beautiful," I lean over and kiss her cheek.

"Awww thanks! But no. I seriously need to find something. Rydel and I have to go shopping," she squeals.

"Again? You just went today," I groan.

"Well, I didn't know we were going to a party. I would have gotten a dress if u knew," she shrugs, standing up and bringing her plate to the sink. I watch as she washes off all if her extra pasta and put it in the dishwasher.

"Could you do mine too?" I put on a cheesy grin.

Gina rolls her eyes and takes away my plate, doing the same thing with mine as she did with hers.

"Anyways. Want to go to my room?" I ask, standing up.

"What about Ryland?" Gina cocks an eyebrow. She walks over to me and places her body beside mine.

"Right," I run my fingers through my hair. "Let's go to the basement," I grab her by the wrist and drag her down the stairs.

She giggles as we sit on the cough. "Let's put on some tv," she reaches for the remote.

"Or...we could do something else," I pull her back and smirk at her. I watch as her confused expression is replaced by a small smirk. I smile as she leans in and brushes her lips against mine, then slowly pulls away. "What the hell," I whine.

"You tease me, I tease you," she winks. I quickly pull her to my chest.

"Oh sweetheart. I'm sorry, but that's not how it works," I retort. "Admit it. You aren't strong enough to withstand my kisses."

I hear a gulp and I see her eyes closing. "Ross," she mumbles. I smirk as I put my hand on the side of her cheek.

"Oh screw it," I mutter. I lean forward and place my lips on hers. Gina seems taken aback for a second. Then, she slowly eases into the kiss, kissing me back passionately. I bite her bottom lip, managing to get a moan to escape her lips. She pushes her body uptight against mine and everything feels just right. I put my hand that isn't on her cheek, on her back.

"Ross," she mutters against my lips. That's makes me go insane. I never want this moment to end, bud sadly, we are human. We need to breathe. I slowly pull away, catching my breath. Gina seems to be breathing even harder than me. "That was...wow," she runs her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah," I say, out of breath.

"So...movie time?" She bites her bottom lip. Okay. That's hot.

"Yeah sure. Which one?" I ask.

"Ummm... OH! Despicable Me!" She yells bouncing around.

"That movie?" I frown. She nods her head vigorously.

"Yes! How do you not love the minions?" She shouts, clicking Despicable Me on the screen.

I chuckle at how adorable she is.
