Just around the corner (drew phillips fanfic)

Chapter 19

"Feeling any better?" I ask Drew over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, probably because of you." I can tell he's smiling.

"Well that's good."

"So next weekend is when we're going to the lake house. Do you still want to go?" He asks me.

"Yeah, I'm excited." But really I'm nervous. He most likely knows that too, but I'll try and hide it for now.

"Is it safe to see you, or no?" I ask quickly, changing the subject.

"Yeah I think so, if you're willing to take the chance of getting sick."

"I'm willing. What time do you want me over?" We spend a lot of time together, but surprisingly we haven't got sick of each other.

"Now?" He laughs.

I look at the time, it's six thirty. "Okay I'll be right over." I hang up.

"You're an idiot." I laugh at one of Drew's dumb jokes.

"You know I'm hilarious."

"Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." I pat him on the shoulder.

In a split second he picks me up by my waist and I'm in the air.

"Drew I didn't know you were this strong." I half scream, still surprised on the fact he picked me up.

He starts running with me over his shoulder.

"Drew this isn't safe by any means." I yell.

"Put me down!" I scream when he opens the back door.

Déjà vu all over again.

He stops at the pool. "Put me down Drew." I laugh.

To my surprise, he puts me down and I'm catching my breath.

"Don't scare me-" He cuts me off and pushes me, and in less than a second I'm colliding into the cold water.

I raise to the surface with goosebumps forming on my skin.

"I'd push you in if you weren't recovering from a cold!" I yell at him, shivering.

I get out and my clothes are heavy against my skin. He's laughing his head off at my sight.

"I hate you so much." I say through chattered teeth.

He pulls me by my waist and grabs my face with two hands.

"Remember when I first kissed you here?" He says softly.

"No, not really." I say, and he frowns a little.

"I'm going to need you to remind me."

He presses his lips against mine and I feel the same electricity I did when he first kissed me.

He pulls away, and rests his forehead against mine. "I love you so much." He whispers.

"Oh yeah? Then next time don't push me into your pool, I'm cold." I joke.

"Sorry, I was trying to be spontaneous." He gives me his goofy smile.

"I like your dork self better."

"Okay, next time I'll be so completely boring that you'll kind of want to break up with me." He puts his hands into the air defensively.

"Good. I need to change, I'll be back, but only if you don't push me into any pools." I laugh, walking towards my house.
