The Quarterback lives in my Basement

Chapter 19 - I kissed her

Steven's Pov

Now I'm not going to lie, I was kind of happy when Bella's parents said they would be gone all day because now I can have the day to talk to Bella. I watched as she threw herself onto the couch as flipped through channels trying to find something to watch.

"So what do you want to do today" I said sitting down beside her.

She turned to be with her big brown eyes the tiredness still clearly obvious.

"Um I really just rather stay and watch movies and pretty little liars all day"

"You watch that show too, it seems like every girl on earth watches that"

"Cause it's an amazing show, you should give it a shot before you go judging it you know"

"Okay then lets watch it" I turn to her and she seems shocked at my words for a second before she jumps off the couch and runs up the stair to grab her computer. Leaving me in the living room with a blushing smirk on my face. She runs back with her laptop and the TV cable and pulls up Netflix.

She starts the first season and instantly it's as if she is not tired anymore and she just downed a can of red bull. Episode after episode I was extremely confused because my mind was elsewhere but I pretended to be into it for Bella by gasping and so on and I can see Bells smirking from the corner of my eye.

The season finally ends and we both walk over to the kitchen hungry so settle on cup of noodles since both of us are too lazy to actually cook anything. We sit back down on the couch were I spot the huge stack of movies next to the TV.

"You have any good movies" I said walking over and looking through the movies, most of the being totally chick flicks of course.

"I don't know pick something"

I settle on step brothers and slide it into Bella's laptop.

"Hold on don't play it yet" Bella shouts before running back upstairs. I go into the kitchen and make a bag of popcorn and pour it into a large bowl and sit back down on the couch. It's not long before Bella is back down stairs in sweat and an oversized t-shirt and an all too familiar blanket wrapped around her arms.

I had a huge mouth full of popcorn in my mouth when I grinned at her, she chuckles and steps over my legs that are stretched out onto the table and sits down on the couch and wraps the blanket around her legs.

"Aw you're not going to share" I say with a smirk and wiggling an eyebrow at her.

"Nope" she says back with sass

"Hey wait...that blanket looks somewhat familiar" I say flirtatiously and I notice she rolls her eyes and starts to turn red.

We get through the entire movie laughing and holding our stomachs, her laugh is cute. Gosh it's kind of hard to find something that isn't cute about her. I stare at the profile of her face where I notice the bruise on her cheek is still very noticeable. I feel so sorry for her she doesn't deserve that no girl does but especially her. She everything good and pure in the world in the form of a person. I remember that day and how I felt when I saw the tears streaming down her eyes and I can't even imagine how she must have been feeling.

I quickly snap out of it and head back to the stack of movies

"So what movie next"

Suddenly Bella runs up from behind and jumps in front of me and I look down at her shocked.

"Nope it's my turn to pick the pizza, go order a pizza"

I turn around to get my phone from the table and dial Dominos pizza and order a medium pepperoni and ham pizza which happens to be my favorite I just hope Bella will like it. Once I got back to the living room Bella was sitting on the couch with a DVD in her hand, Pitch Perfect one of my favorite movies. We decided to just sit around and talk until the pizza got here so that we wouldn't have to pause the movie.

A few minutes later Bella brings me a cold cup of iced tea and for herself. The door bell rings and I smirk at her since we already established that she had to answer the door since I called. She grunts and heads for the door.

"Um hi Carter, Steven can you hand me my wallet" It's clear that she seems nervous when she says it. I walk over to the door and stand behind Bella only to catch Carter glaring at me with wild eyes.

"Oh hey Carter didn't know you worked for Dominos" I said handing him the money, Carter looked at me with eyes that could kill and I could almost see the veins pop out of his head.

"Yea and I didn't think Bella was the kind of girl to have sex with Cole and then his best friend" I want to kill him for what he just said but I look over at Bella who is clearly holding back tears, so instead we stand there speechless as we watch Carter walk back to the car.

"Don't listen to anything that jerk says he doesn't even know you and he's judging you"

"But he does know me and all too well"

"What do you mean?"

"I used to date him and I told him everything, we broke up after three years after I caught him hooking up with some girl" She chokes on her words as she tries to not cry.

"Well I'm sorry"

"Thanks, let's just forget about it and watch the movie" She says with a forced smile. I smile back and hit play and we start to devour the pizza. Before we know it there's just one slice left. We look at the pizza and then at each other before we both dive for it. I win the pizza but suddenly Bella jumps on top of me and reaches for the pizza and I sneak a bite before it falls to the floor.

I wrap my hand around her waist and flip her on her back and begin to tickle her sides, her laugh burst into the air. I stop and we lay there looking into each other's eyes before she shoves me off of her placing her small fragile hands on my collarbones and I feel as if heat starts to radiate off of my skin.

We are now both sitting on the couch look into each other's eyes not saying anything.

"Thanks by the way" She says the warmth of her breath tickles the surface of my face.

"For what"

"Making me forget everything that happened and for a fun night" she says with a sweet smile that makes a dimple form on the right side of her chin. I want so bad to kiss her and this time I go for it. I start to lean in a bit closer and notice her tense up a little but I continue. I lightly place my hand on the side of her cheeks and lightly rub her cheekbone with my thumb, we are now only an inch away and our breaths mix in the space between our mouths.

She takes a deep breath and closes the distance surprising me a little; she slowly wraps her gentle hands around my necks and runs her fingers through my hair sending shockwaves down my spine. I slide my tongue across her mouth begging for an entrance and she slightly opens her mouth. We are now melting into each other as she pulls my face in closer to hers. I want this moment to last forever but that's when we hear the door swing open. We both jump away from each other look over to the door.

Her parents walk in we both walk over to her parents to greet them and ask how their day was. I look over to Bella who's lips are red and plump, is it obvious we were kissing, oh no her parents are going to kill me.

"I'm going to bed, goodnight" Bella said to everyone and flashed a smile at me before she headed up stair which of course made me blush as well. I said my good nights and headed down to the basement.

I sat in my bed and took a deep breath

'I kissed her' I said to myself as a smile spread across my face.
