Tic-Toc

Chapter 13

"Of course, why wouldn't it be okay?"

"Some people just get weirded out by it."

"It's nobody's business but theirs. People shouldn't put their opinions where it doesn't matter"

"I'll tell him to bring him. It'll be fun to meet him!"

He goes off to text Andrés. I excitedly run over to the beautiful husky walk by. Before I pet it I make sure to ask the owner if I can pet it. I squat down and pet the big fluffy puppy. Huskies are so cute and happy and fluffy. I stood back up to thank the owner and walk back to Blake.

"That was a pretty dog!"

"Yes it was, did you find out its name?"

"His name was winter, going to turn 6 next year."

He nods and he begin our walk back to my apartment. Once we got there I figured I'll be staying the night at his apartment so I grabbed a back pack and added pjs and a cute outfit for tomorrow. Riley said that Blake, Jesse and I are all going on a trip tomorrow. I make sure to pack my camera and a back up lenses. We have a couple hours till everyone gets there so Blake and I decided to go to target to get dessert and snacks. I grab a cart and get Blake to push it. Then I jump in the cart and have him push me around.

"Takis," I just point to the shelves when I see things, "Oreos"

By the end I was covered in food. He pushes the cart the cashier and starts putting things on. By the end the grand total was $74.33 so I slide my card and sign. After we get back to the car we load the trunk and head to his apartment. I made it my personal mission to carry all the bags up. He opens all the doors for me and I set them down on the counter. Jesse wasn't here, he was probably getting the taco bell. I also remembered to bring a blanket. So I ran to their couch and claimed my corner. I was quite a large couch. Tonight we were all gonna chill and watch movies. One by one people arrived. First Jesse, then Riley and Flynn. Marcel practically danced through the door. Rose came and lastly Andrés and his boyfriend. All I can say is taco bell is the best thing that happened to mankind. We all laughed and talked and ate for hours. Marcel got to meet Blake and Marcel seemed like a fan girl. Him and Blake seemed to get along well though. Rose met Marcel and pretty much everyone one there aside from Blake and Riley, she seemed a little out of her element at first but then she warmed right up to everyone. Andrés boyfriend was very nice and funny. We are definitely going to be friends. His name was Callum and he's an exchange student from the UK. He decided to study a year abroad in America. (picture above) To much my surprise Flynn and Jesse seemed to instantly become friends. I was very pleased with how everything was going. Everyone seemed to be getting along very well. Once the conversation died out Friends was put on. Friends is one of Riley's all time favorite tv shows. As the night went on people slowly started to leave. In about an hour it was just Riley, Jesse, Flynn, and Blake. I didn't know if Jesse was going with us wherever we went tomorrow. He went to his room and Blake brought me to his. Riley and Flynn were going to stay on the couch.

"Don't have sex on my couch," Jesse shouted from his bedroom.

Riley turned a cherry color and I just went to Blake's room. It was very clean like last time. I changed in his closet and laid down. Blake soon joined. We had a long conversation we treaded in the light topics and then slowly got into deep conversations. It showed me a whole new side of him I was ever so happy to see. In the end, sleep got the best of me and I passed out cold.

-----------------

I woke up to the familiar smell of peppermint and pine. Its become my favorite scent. Wrapped in warm arms is so much better than a blanket. It must be early because we planned to leave the apartment by 9. I got up and brushed my teeth. Then I went back and cuddled with Blake. He seemed to be slowly waking up, I put a chaste kiss on his lips. He smiled.

"Good Morning," he said it in his really husky morning voice.

"Morning," he just puts me in a good mood.

For the second time, I got up but this time I got changed and made breakfast. I checked the clock and it was just about to be 8:00am. Riley usually takes an hour to get ready co I went and got her up. She started her getting ready. After 45 minutes everyone was ready to leave. Jesse wasn't coming with us, he wanted to go back to sleep. Flynn was driving with Riley in the passenger seat. Blake and I were in the back. I preferred the back, plenty of room to stretch and lay. We would end up back in NYC at night so Riley could work tomorrow. The car ride was fun. It was only around two hours long, but we made it worthwhile with crappy singing and many rounds of "I spy with my little eye." By the time it was over we ended up in Philadelphia. It's such a pretty city there. The place was to spend the day in Reading Terminal Market. They had put coolers in the trunk so if we got fresh food it wouldn't go bad. I'll admit this seems like a weird place for an outing but once you step in, its perfect. So many places to see. Its one of the oldest markets still around. I made sure to get plenty pictures. I like to get still objects or the world around me rather then people. The pictures you appeal more to me. One picture that I got that stood out from the others, Blake was standing in front of candy shop looking completely in awe as they made candy. It just made me smile. We loaded up on what we wanted and then I suggested going to a good photo location. We decided to go to the Race street Pier. It wasn't at the lighting I wanted but I figured I could edit that later. I got a photo of Flynn kissing Rileys forehead underneath the bridge. I also got a couple more of Riley for her Instagram. I had to practically force Blake to let me get photos of him, it was very worth it. He looked adorable when he pouted. Bridges were always some of my favorite things to shoot. After a hundred more photos Riley dragged me back to the car. I got in and we started the trip back home. Once we got back Flynn brought me to our apartment so we could put the food we got away. He drove me and Blake to Blake's apartment. Since Riley was going to be at work I didn't want to be alone and Blake didn't mind my company. I had brought my MacBook so I spent a couple hours editing the best photos and sending them out accordingly. I took some of the best ones and put them on my Instagram page. I had around fifteen thousand followers and all I did was post my pictures that I took. Occasionally I'd take pictures of the right person and I'd get a couple thousand followers. The posts were up and I was ready to sleep. I crawled into Blake's bed and slept like my life depended on it.
