Getting Chances (Chandler Riggs Fanfic)

Chapter 28

Cassie's POV

It's about half way through the movie when I finally get a text from Payson.

Payypayy: me and chandler are talking things out.... And going to the arcade 😄

I have a mini spaz attack when I see the message and Sam just laughs at me.

"Look." I whisper and show him the text.

"Told you." He smirks and I just roll my eyes. I decide to see just how into me he is, and I set my head onto his shoulder. I feel him adjust, and then his arm is around my shoulders, and I snuggle into him further.

Paysons POV

"No that's not even fair! You totally cheated!!" I yell at him as we get off the fake race car seats.

"Pay! How can I cheat?! That's like impossible on this game!" He laughs.

I make a fake frown, and cross my arms like a child.

"Fine fine. We'll go again. But if I beat you- AGAIN- we aren't playing it anymore, we'll just know that I'm better." He laughs at me again as I smile and stick my tongue out at him. In a weird way, I think this whole Rachel thing made us stronger, the exact opposite of what she had planned.

"Ha! I won again!" He cheered and I chuckle.

"Fine! I give up!" I punch his arm.

"We've been here for like an hour. Do you think the movie is over yet?" I ask him.

"Text Sam and ask." He shrugs.

"Well if only I had thought of that!!" I say in a sarcastically Victorian voice.

"Ha-ha." He rolls his eyes.

To: Samelica wants the D

Hey is the movie over yet? Text me back when it is.

I chuckle at his name in my phone remembering when he took it during homeroom and changed it. I laugh at the memory and eat a slice of pizza that Chandler paid for. I hate it when he does that.

"What are we gonna do when Sam and Cassie get out? Are we still going to orange leafe?" I ask him.

"Yeah, we can. I mean they haven't eaten yet, so we might as well. We can just share something." He says and I smile a the thought.

Samelica wants the D -Yep! Movie just got out. Meet us at orange leafe?

Me: Yeah, we'll meet you there!

"Alright. Sam said the movie is over, we are meeting them at orange leafe." I say and Chandler nods. He gets a $5 bill out and leaves it on the table and I look at him like he's crazy.

"It's for the tip. Pizza was good." He shrugs and I shake my head.

"That's not what I was worried about- how much money did you bring?!" I laugh and ask at the same time.

"Well I was planning on paying 20 for the movies, then only paid 10, and I had $30 dollars extra, to pay for orange leafe and whatever else." He shrugs and I shake my head and walk towards him. He opens the door for me and bows.

"My lady." He says and I chuckle.

"Thank you my good sir." I curtsy

"Do I get that chariot ride this tome?" I ask in an elegant voice.

"I'm sorry madam, unfortunately, the wheels broke off and collapsed mid ride. I would be honored though to let you on my back for the trip." He says elegantly too, and turns so his back is towards me.

"As you wish my prince." I say and hop onto his back.

"Prince?" He breaks the elegance and starts to walk with me on his back, his warm hands under my thighs.

"Yes. You are my prince. And you wear a sheriffs hat. Not a crown." I say making a reference to Carl, and I kiss him on the cheek.

"Only during the summer." He laughs. "I start filming later this month." He says.

"Oh.." I'm not quite sure what to say.. He's gonna be gone a lot this summer.

"Yeah. I'll take you with me to set sometime, if you want." He says and keeps walking, me still on his back.

"Yeah!" I say and laugh. "Am I too heavy? I feel like I'm too heavy." I say and he squeezes my legs tighter.

"You're like 20 pounds. You're fine Pay." He laughs. "And besides? We are here!" He says and I drop down.

"My hero." I say in a damsel voice, and kiss him in the cheek before I head inside.
