Apple Love Book 3 ✔

17

"So that's how you started dating?" my dad (Cadee) asked with a hint of disappointment not only in his voice but on his face, since we were video chatting.

"Yes dad but Christmas was a blast, filled with sweet kisses under the mistletoe, snowed in so we all ate warm fancy food and had warm tasty drinks. Opening up presents were nice. Weird to not be with you guys, sorry I couldn't make it over there." I said the last part with a slight frown.

"It's okay honey as long as you all were safe and had fun." he smiled softly at me and I smiled back.

"Well, I should be over your house for New Years. Beck won't be able to stay for long." I pouted.

"Yeah, sorry Mr. Reed," Beck said popping his head in the way and conversation making me huff.

"Don't worry about it," Cadee said laughing.

"Who's not staying for long?" a similar voice asked on dad's line.

"Beck honey," Cadee said and I saw my other dad whooping in the background.

Beck huffed and I rolled my eyes smiling. I pat Beck's back to comfort him and pecked his cheek. My dad Cadee glared at him and told us he would be right back. I saw him run off and smack dad in the head. I laughed as Beck smirked.

"Serves him right." Beck huffed and I rolled my eyes.

"Be nice," I responded back to him and Beck grumbled but nodded as Izze ran over a bump making us bounce up a bit.

"Ow," Chuck grumbled and I shook my head laughing.

"So do you want to stop by to see my family during New Years?" Beck pecked my cheek and I nodded with heat rising to my cheeks.

"I would love to but I think its best I just go to my parent's. Maybe you should too and not stop by. I'd hate to be a burden." I mumbled looking away.

"You're not being a burden, Swift," Beck responded while rolling his eyes and showed his dimple while smiling at me.

"Plus who the hell is gonna drive you?" Chuck cut me off as I opened my mouth. "Not me, I'm going to see my family. Izze is possibly going to be out of the state. So you're on your own."

"Geez, thanks, Chuck." I rolled my eyes and huffed as he pats my back.

"No problem Tay." Chuck winked and Beck gave him a look but he was smirking.

"No winking at my boyfriend," Beck replied to Chuck as he pulled me close into his chest.

I would have died from embarrassment. Not just from the words that left out of his mouth and his actions but I didn't want them to see my face. I buried my face in his chest, thankful for the hiding space. I heard Chuck laughing and felt Beck's chest move as he laughed with him. I tried to bite back a smile but I knew it was there.

I guess I fell asleep again during the drive. Chuck was sleeping on my leg and I was sleeping against Beck's chest. Poor Beck was pressed against the car door but he was sleeping soundly. I leaned up to get off him but Chuck made it difficult. Beck's arm was also around my waist.

"Hey are we-"

The car sped only to stop suddenly making me lean forward and slam back groaning. Izze turned her head back glaring. I rubbed the back of my head grimacing and glanced at her apologetically. I probably frighten her. She turned away and began to drive again.

"We should be back at the university soon," she responded glancing at me through the rear mirror and I nodded assuming she was still looking at me.

"I can drive this time so you could take a nap," I replied after a moment of silence.

"Oh, uh you don't have to," she murmured.

"No really! I wouldn't mind." I smiled even though she wasn't looking but I heard a sigh of defeat before she pulled over.

She got out and walked over to the passenger side. I pushed Chuck off and managed to get out of Beck's grasp. After I got out I got on the driver's side and got in closing the door. Izze put on her seatbelt and I did the same before taking the car out of park and put it on drive. I was a bit nervous to be driving especially since it was getting late. Izze glanced at me as I drove..slowly. I couldn't help it I didn't want to drive too fast.

"Have you drove before?" Izze practically mocked me as she had her eyebrow raised.

"Of course," I grumbled speeding up a bit only to slow down as soon as I saw another car.

"Then speed up," she said and I couldn't look at her to see if she was really smirking but I know I could hear it in her voice.

"Alright!" I huffed and stepped on the gas pedal a bit hard only to freak out driving slow again causing Izze to laugh.

"I didn't say to be like Fast and Furious." Izze coughed after laughing hard.

"Well excuse me for being a cautious driver," I replied mumbling.

"Nothing wrong with being cautious but being too slow is dangerous too." I caught her smiling a bit as she spoke.

I responded to her with no words. A surprise to us both I sped up. Not too fast though because I would just freak out again and be back to step one. Eventually, I relaxed as I drove, Izze was kind of the cause of that. Talking to her about my driving and then how she was better driver got me to shake things off. I understood why Chuck became with her friend. Even though she might seem a bit cold she has a warm heart.

"You should get some sleep now," I said after she finished her story.

The story was about her dad wanting her to learn how to drive at a young age. She was learning since fourteen and as soon as she could get a permit her dad made sure she did and as soon as she could she got her license. Though she didn't get a car until she was in her last year of high school. I also learned a bit more about her life and well her, it was nice.

I realized she hadn't respond. Glancing over I saw she was asleep leaning against the window. A sigh left my lips as I smiled focusing on the road. Everyone else was asleep finally. I decided on turning on the radio and hummed to myself all the way back to the university, not going to lie but I loved the holiday tunes during this time of the year.

XD geez it's 1 am here... I was working on this most of the day but would have probably been done a way lot earlier if my mom didn't bother me. Anywho! Hope you enjoyed the chapter because it took me a while to write, my mind would think of something then go blank. Well, I should go to bed now so have a nice day/night!
