My best friend

Chapter 3

The party wasn't very wild and it got over early as we had school the next day. Ryan and Amy dropped me home, then he dropped Amy and then reached home. 

I was extremely exhausted and soon fell asleep into a deep slumber.

The week passed by quickly, and soon it was  Saturday morning. I had woken up and gone downstairs for breakfast.

"Did Mom leave already ?" I asked my brother as I entered the kitchen.

"Yup, she left around fifteen minutes back." He replied pouring milk in his cereal and making some for me as well.

"Are you going today ?"

"No, I'll call in sick." He replied.

"Can you make pasta for lunch then ?" I asked him sweetly with a Cheshire smile.

"I will, but your buying groceries then."

"Not fair."

"It's fair. I'm cooking." He replied with a smirk and I huffed.

After eating I went back and changed into a pair of white shorts and a pastel pink tank top. I tied my hair in a high ponytail and wore my white converse.

"I'm leaving." I yelled running down the stairs, picking up my phone, earphones and money.

I got out and the warm sunlight hit my face. I began walking towards the closest shop and wore my earphones and turned on some music.

Even though it was sunny, there was a light cool breeze that swept through my hair. The  street where I lived had a long line of oaks diving it from a light forest behind the neighborhood. I hadn't covered much distance when suddenly I felt two hands on my shoulder shaking me.

Theif? Rapist? Kidnapper? Thug? Gangster?

Numerous thoughts went through my head and I shrieked. I turned around quickly, shaking it's hands away and slapped that person right across its face.

That's when I saw who the person was.

Ryan. Fuck.

"Bloody hell !! What the hell is wrong with you Nicky ?", He said rubbing his cheek which had now become red.

"Self defence ?", I muttered.

"I called you while you were crossing the street, but you didn't answer so I came across, And you slapped me.", He said looking hurt.

"Ohhh...., Are you alright ?" I said feeling guilty.

"No I'm not. Now buy me ice cream. okay ?  Thanks.", He said almost quickly walking ahead of me. I rolled my eyes and walked faster catching up to him.

"Where were you going though ?"

"I was out jogging, that's when I saw you.", Ryan answered. "Also don't ever wear your earphones and cross the road, you might've got into an accident being so careless."

"Hey chill. I looked before crossing."

"Sure.", He said looking at me. "Anyways, where are you heading ?"

"I'm going to buy groceries, Eric is making pasta."

"Damn. I'm coming over then, anyway I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Just say your coming for the pasta." I said laughing.

"Well him and the pasta.", Ryan said smiling at me, as he put his hand around my shoulder.

"Only if you help me with the groceries."

"Done."

"Should we call Amy as well, since your coming ?" I asked.

"Noo way. She'll finish up all the pasta." He said frowning.

"Umm, If you remember I'll only buy you ice cream." I said emphasizing on the 'you'.

"Okay fine, call her. But I want Ben&Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie.", He said excitedly.

"Okay kid." I said laughing, seeing how excited he was.

"Hey Shawty. Your the kid here." He said ruffling my hair, as I smacked his hand away.

We soon reached the shop and bought what we wanted. He helped me carry the bags back home and said that he would be back in an hour with Amy for lunch. I informed Eric that they were coming over, so he made double the quantity of pasta.

By lunch time the both of them had reached and the four of us were talking in the kitchen. I laid the plates and Amy helped me. The pasta was delicious, there was iced tea and French fries to go along with it. By the time we finished eating my brother left to his friend's house.

"So, What do guys wanna do ?", I said keeping away the dishes as they both helped me.

"I want to go to Paris.", Amy said with a sigh.

"Yeah, surely in your dreams", Ryan said with a chuckle, to which he got a towel thrown on his face by Amy making me laugh.

"Okay. How about a movie ?" Amy said.

"That'll be fun, let's go to my room. And wait I'll heat up some popcorn.", I said.

The three of us went up to my room. I switched my flat screen tv on, and began searching for movies with them.

"Hey how about this ?", Ryan asked.

"No, it's too scary." I said montone.

"Please it'll be fun.", He replied pushing me playfully on the bed.

"No way." I said sitting cross legged as he sat next to me. Amy was sitting on the carpeted floor and was busy texting, she was fine with any movie but I particularly disliked horror movies.

"Please Nickkyy." He whined and pouted.

"No Ryann." I mimicked him.

"Okay, you asked for it.", He said with a mischievous look.

"I asked for what ?"

"This." He replied as he pounced on me and began tickling me.

I uncontrollably began laughing in fits and trying to make him stop. I was an extremely ticklish person and that was one of my weaknesses.

"...Ryan...Stop... Please.", I said in fits of laughter.

"Only if you say yes to this movie." He said, I luckily pushed him away and tried getting off my bed. But he was faster and stronger than me, he pulled me back onto the bed and held my hands tightly preventing me from moving and then proceeded to tickle me more.

"No...stop...my stomach hurts.."

"Say Yes and I'll stop."

Ding

"Stop it guys. I'm going to get the popcorn, it's ready." , Said Amy still on her phone.

"I think... I'm going... to die..." I said as my sides hurt. He then stopped as he saw me panting heavily. I hadn't noticed that he was now over me. His one hand holding both my hands together while his other on the bed holding him above me.

The position was awkward, and we were really close... I could see his dark brown hair falling across his face and his blue eyes much clearly with specks of green and grey. I felt like raising my hand to his face and moving his hair behind but my consciousness stopped me.

I inhaled sharply and bit my lip. By then even he had noticed the position we were in, but he just tilted his head looking at me more intently. I suddenly saw an unknown emotion flash through his eyes which I couldn't interpret...

That's when the door banged open.
