Decoding You *Watty Awards 2012*

Chapter 23

Instead of waking up to kisses like I had been expecting I wake up to Izzy crawling on me, "Sissy wake up!"

I open my eyes and realize I'm using Ryder as a pillow, and for a guy with abs he's one comfy pillow.

I groan, "Izzy go back to sleep."

She shakes her head, "No. You need to get up."

I peek up at Ryder, who is clearly awake but keeping his eyes closed. Asshole.

i look at Izzy, "Just lay down. Please."

She shakes her head, "Ryder's mommy is on the phone."

Ryder and I both sit up at the same time and he snatches the phone from Izzy, "Mom?"

I look at Izzy, "That was not nice."

She shrugs, "I told you to get up."

I frown, "Why didn't you wake him up?"

She smiles and shrugs, "I don't know."

I look at Ryder and listen to him, "Oh so what time?...Yeah I'll tell her, I'm sure she'll be happy."

I look at him questioningly and he shakes his head with a smile, "Okay I'll see you later. Bye mom. Love you too."

I look at him amused, "I don't think I've ever heard one of my boyfriends say I love you to their mom."

He shrugs, "She's my mom."

I kiss his cheek, "So who's going to be happy about what?"

He grins, "Well you know how your dad use to be a lawyer and stuff?"

I nod, "Well yeah."

He pulls me into his lap, "Well my dad talked to your dad about the party, it turns out your dad is going and he talked to your mom and my mom talked to her and now we only have to make a five minute appearance at Tony's. We're bringing Izzy too."

My eyes widen, "Seriously?"

He nods and kisses me gently, "Yes. And my mom said it's really warm out today and the party is mostly outside. Shorts and t-shirt weather."

I sigh, "Oh thank god. I hope spring break is like that."

He nods and kisses my jaw, "Me too. I'd like to get you in a bikini again."

I grin and nip his earlobe as Izzy says, "You're going to catch cooties."

I look at her surpised, "Who told you about cooties?"

"Trace and Preston."

I look over where they were sleeping and sure enough they're laughing.

Ryder rolls his eyes at his friends and looks at Izzy, "I have sisters. I'm cootie free."

Her mouth forms an "o" and I giggle.

"I wouldn't kiss him if I was going to catch cooties."

Izzy nods, "Is that why you're dating Ryder and not Preston? Or Trace?"

I smirk and nod, "That's exactly why."

She nods and crawls back into bed as Trace and Preston scowl and Ryder chuckles into my neck, "Hmm you think if I leave a hicky we can convince our sisters that boys really do have cooties? Then they won't want to date until they're at least thirty."

I groan as he sucks on my neck, "Please don't. I hate having to hide those. And you left one a few weeks ago. It just went away. You should have seen my dad face when he saw it."
