Hot chocolates and tissues

Chapter 9- Come on in!

Rebecca ate her tea, and excused herself from the table after eating a cupcake which Sammy made earlier that day.

She walked up the stairs and went to the bathroom. After finishing on the toilet she walked over to the sink and started washing her hands, she looked up to see herself in the mirror.

"Dear God!" She exclaimed as she looked at herself in the mirror, she had a sudden out break of spots on her chin.

She walked into her room and rummages in her top draw trying to find her makeup bag, she finally finds it and pulls it out.

She opens it up and takes a concealer, blusher and mascara from out the small, floral bag. She sits on her bed and takes her small mirror from under her bed and lays it on her lap. She opens the bottle of concealer, and tilts the mirror so she can see her face. She daps some concealer on her chin and under her eyes, Rebecca rubs it in and blends it with her finger, to make sure it's not noticeable. Next Rebecca applies the blusher, and then a little mascara. She looks at herself in the mirror and smiles, she feels better now.

It's 6:50 and Rebecca is leaving her house, she walks down the street, adjusting her hand bag strap to lay comfortably on her shoulder. She just brought a small handbag to hold her phone and some essentials.

Rebecca finds 18 Lamb Lane easily, and knocks on the red door, stands back and looks at the ground nervously. She hears footsteps, so looks up. The door opens, Connor stands staring at Rebecca for a while. Looking at how beautiful she looked.

"Come on in then!" He grinned at her and stood to the side of the door to let Rebecca past.

"My parents are out so we have the place to our selves for a while."

"Great!" Rebecca smiles, looking around the house.

"Sorry it's a bit of a mess still, we-" he cut his self off, "I, have been unpacking and moving furniture all week!"

"It's hardly a mess Con!" Rebecca glanced around, "anyway what do you mean, 'I'? Did your parents not help you?"

"Nope! They've been working 6am - 10pm every day, so when they come home they just go to sleep."

"Ohhh"

They hear pattering on the wooden floor boards, and a dog comes toddling along through to where the teenagers are standing.

"So this is your dog?" Rebecca bends down, stroking the dogs silky soft head.

"Yeah, this is Fly." Connor kneels next to Rebecca and starts to stroke Fly's back.

They stroke him, and give him loads of attention for a couple of minutes.

"Right then," Connor starts to stand up "shall we go into the sitting room?"

"Sure!" Rebecca replies, standing up and starting to follow Connor through to the sitting room.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" Connor asks, holding a stack of DVDs.

"Okay."

"So we have; 'Taken', 'Avatar', 'The Hunger Games', all of the 'Harry Potter' films or 'The Simpsons Movie'."

"I don't mind" Rebecca said, shrugging her shoulders.

Connor laughed.

"That's helpful!"

They decide to watch 'Taken'. Rebecca texts her friend Hannah that she was watching 'Taken', everyone in there friendship group has watched the film, and they all love it but Hannah hasn't watched it yet.

Connor and Rebecca sit next to each other, but not too close.

(**spoiler of the film 'Taken' now sorry **)

When the scene where the men come into the house and take Kim and her friend, Rebecca tenses up and Connor must have sensed it. He put his arm around her and whispered in her hair;

"It's okay, I won't let anyone hurt you Becca."

Rebecca nuzzles her head into his chest, he kisses her on her forehead. They stay that way for the duration of the film.

When the film ends, Connor moves his arm standing up and Rebecca sits up.

"Did you enjoy that then?" Connor says looking down at Rebecca sitting on the sofa.

"It was good" she said smirking at him.

"So I know you like dogs, 'Taken', hot chocolate and it's about time I find out something else.."

"What?"

"I wonder if you like being tickled?"

He reaches down tickling her on her stomach and under her chin, she breaks out into laughter. Rebecca screams, and laughs at the same time.

Connor stops tickling and looks down at Rebecca, who is giggling.

"That's a yes then?" He says grinning.

"Haha that's one way of putting it!" Rebecca says, still laughing she stands up.

Connor leans down, puts his hands around her waist and kisses her. She kisses him back and then they pull apart by the sound of the front door opening.

"We're back Connor!" Connor's dad shouts upstairs, obviously expecting him to be in his room.

"We're actually in here." He replies.

His mother and father walk into the sitting room.

"Oh I forgot your friend was coming round." She says to Connor, then turning towards Rebecca says, "hello, sweetie! It's nice to meet you Connor doesn't shut up about you!"

Connor goes bright red.

"Muuum!" He kicks her foot lightly to signal her to stop talking. Rebecca blushes, not used to all the attention.

"We were heading upstairs now anyway, weren't we Becca?"

"Yes, we were"

"Oh, okay my lovelies." Replies Connors mum.

Connor is walking towards the stair case, Rebecca following behind when Connors dad pulls him to one side. He whispers but it's loud enough for Rebecca to hear.

"I want no funny business, okay?"

"What you inferring dad? That I'll be like you and get a 15 year old pregnant?" Connor proceeds to walk up the stairs, leaving his dad stunned.
