Wet in The Library

Chapter 6

We took a parking spot towards the back of Wally’s. “Ready?” He asked, taking ofF his seatbelt. “Yep.” I said with a small smile. As we walked towards the front entrance I folded my hands behind my back, unsure were to place them. “Ladies first.” he said with a grin as he held open the colorful door. I gave him a smile as I scurried past. We waited in line to get our gear, and laser guns. “Two please.” he said, removing his leather wallet and taking out a fifty. The petite red head handed us two plastic guns, and our body guards. I chose the shiny red one and picked a guard. “Lets go over here.” He said, motioning to a bench. I nodded, following him. I watched as he slipped the shoulder pads over his head, attaching the guard to his chest. His shirt rose slightly as he reached over to clip it. I stared at the small strip of exposed six pack, before snapping back to reality. I sighed as I put on my own guard. “Ready?’ He asked, switching on his toy gun. “If you can catch me!“ I gave him a cheeky grin before running into the dark room. I was suddenly enveloped in a group of flashing red lights, watching as other sweaty teenagers ran wild, shooting beams of color. I switched on my own gun, squatting behind a large foam block. I poked my head out from hiding, only to head bang with Harry. “Oh god!” I yelled, scampering away from him. “Get back here wet girl!” I slid under a small box, giggling. “You can’t win Harry!” I said before jumping from my spot on the ground, shooting a red laser at Harry’s head of curls. “Uggh!” He screamed, spinning in circles. “You got me, ok.” He said raising a fist as he fell to the ground. I burst into laughter, walking over to his place on the floor. “Told you I would win.” I whispered into his ear. “I have to pee.” I said, as I skipped away from his fake dead body. I removed my gear, setting my gun down. I pushed open the heavy, rainbow decorated door. As I walked past the mirror I winced, my cheeks were a bloody red shade, and my hair tie was very close to falling out. I stepped into a stall. As I walked out of the bathroom I suddenly felt a large hand on my back. “What the..” I stuttered, turning around to see Harry grinning at me. “Hi.” I said, happy to see it wasn’t some random stranger. “Want to eat something?” he asked, gesturing towards the food court. “Sure, I’m starving.” I said, suddenly noticing my growling stomach. We walked up to a stand, I ordered a burger, fries, and pink lemonade. Harry went with cheese fries. I gagged as we walked to a table in the corner. “I hate cheese fries.” I said, scrunching up my face. “Well sorry.” Harry said with a laugh, happily munching away. I bit into my burger, tasting the meat, cheese, and delectable tomatoes. “Nummy.” I said, my mouth full of food. Harry laughed, “You have something on your face!” I stopped chewing, suddenly conscious that I probably looked like a crazy person. “What is it?” I asked, swallowing the last of my burger. “Here.” He said, leaning across the table, lightly licking his thumb, before rubbing away whatever spot of food was on my face. I sat in shock, staring into his ocean eyes. Why did he always do this to me? Next thing I knew he was leaning into kiss me. This time though, I didn’t hesitate. I pressed my lips to his, feeling a sudden warmth spread within my body. I stretched across the small table, wrapping my arms around his neck. I felt his hand fan across my cheek. Eventually, we separated from one another, taking deep breaths. “ Are you ready to go?” He asked. I nodded, as we walked towards the door.

“Thanks for taking me.” I said, giving him a small smile as we reached my house.

“No problem.” He answered. “Goodnight Daisy, hope your father is all back to normal by tomorrow.” He said as I stepped out of his car. “Thanks.” I said as I walked towards my house. “I will text you.” He yelled from the road. “Ok great!” I responded, stepping inside. I closed the door, dropping my bag and running upstairs to my room. I slammed the door, slowly sliding to the ground. Oh my god.
