not everything is rainbows.

6 // After

I was a bit concerned for Scott, but I decided it was okay. It must always be like this. I would talk to him the next time it happened, but for now it wasn't relevant. I didn't sleep much, which sucks because I think I'm driving today. I knock on Scott's door and wait for him to answer.
Today his style selection included a grey hoodie and black shorts and some old school Vans. I smiled at him and he reached his hand up and ruffled out his hair. I looked stupid by comparison in my white sundress with a black belt. I always think I look cute, but then there's Scott. He yelled, "You look like a ray of FUCKING SUN." I laughed and held my stomach. He laughed with me and grabbed my belt, "Is this mine?" I shrugged.
"I may have picked it up."
He put his head in his hands and said "You trigger me."
We laughed and walked toward the elevator. I noticed he had a bag in his hands. He knows this game all to well. As soon as we walked in he grabbed 12 waters, a few oranges, and five muffins. I smiled and nodded in approval. He faked a sigh of relief, as if I would have disapproved. We both chuckled and grabbed hot pancakes. He poured himself some coffee, but I don't really like it without a bunch of cream. He took a gulp and ate a bite of pancakes, with a boat of syrup. I said, "Where do you wanna be by the end of today?"
He swallowed and said "Riverside, California. I booked a room."
I swallowed my French Toast and said "Sounds good- wait, just one?"
He shook his head and quickly explained, "There are two beds, don't worry." I hit his arm.
He looked up, "What?"
"One of the agreements was always different hotel rooms!"
He rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll sleep in the car. Even though we'll get a house soon." I was so mad that I dumped my plate out and got up. I knew that'd be a mistake later, but I was so mad!
I went to my room, put my clothes in their suitcases, along with the free things, then I ran downstairs, checked out, and went out. Scott was there with a teddy bear and my favorite soda, Cherry Coke. I sighed.
"If you forgive me, I'll drive all the way today." I accepted the offer with glee and skipped to grab the cola and my bear.
I put the bear in my lap as I slid into the passenger side. He sat in the front and tapped on the wheel. I grabbed multiple snacks from our run and as always, ate them. For the first time, I slept all the way there. We stopped in Riverside.
"Immediately go to our room, get in a bathing suit, and haul ass to the pool." Scott told me. I nodded and grabbed the keys the lady had waiting. I went up the elevator as Scott paid. I changed out of my sundress and into my bathing suit, and as I tied the robe and checked my phone, I saw two missed calls from my parents lawyers. I start the voicemail.
"Rachel. You have 20,000 dollars from your parents, along with their house and possessions." Scott walked in. The lawyers didn't stop talking. "Once again, sorry for your loss and we will send you the money. Call us back with your new address." I hung up.
Scott broke the silence. "Should I ask..?" I shook my head no. He nodded and went into the bathroom to change.
Once he came out, I saw his abs again and was just as grand as the first time. They weren't huge, but they were fairly defined along his stomach. I didn't notice I was staring until Scott mocked a middle aged woman and said "Don't look, you pervert!" We both laughed and I broke my daze. He was simply attractive.

Quick Note ; This is my first story, I hope it's not cliche or something, but so far I like it.
