Ryder's PoV

She screams. "Monster!" She giggles and struggles out of my hold.

"You're not going anywhere!" I say tickling her.

She acts like a child when she's drunk.

I stop and she pants.

I snuggle my head into the crook of her neck and inhale her scent.

"It tickles." She giggles. A smile makes its way to my face but I didn't mind.

A comfortable silence engulfs us for a minute until she decides to break the silence.

"I'm bored. Let's take selfies!" She says, stealing my phone from my pocket.

I groan.

"Shortcake!" She opens the camera and instead of taking a picture, she takes a video unconsciously.

She makes funny faces, thinking she's taking a picture.

I smile and shake my head at her.

"Let's take a selfie together!" She says and pulls my hand.

"3,2,1!" This time she clicks the actual camera button.

"Smile!" She uses two of her fingers and pulls my lips upwards.

She stops and looks at the camera.

Instead of looking at the camera I look at her.

She's so adorable.

What spell did she cast on me to make me feel like this?

I want her to be mine. I need her.

It may seem too fast but I guess this is what they call love at first sight?

As cliché and cringy that sounds, it's true.

"Say cheese!" I smile, looking at her and she clicks the camera.

"There's something I need to tell you." She says seriously.

I raise and eyebrow at her.

"I'm really sleepy, dizzy and hungry. I'm also gonna faint any second now." She says and collapses. I catch her and carry her like a potato sack this time.

"She's so adorable." I mumble.

I carry her to my car and text Kyle, saying that Lili's drunk and I'm taking her home.

It sounded like he was drunk because his reply was 'okay don't let the bed bugs bite!'.

I put my little Shortcake in the passenger seat and buckle her up before going to the driver seat and starting the car.

The drive was quiet except for the times she would mumble something like 'my little pony' or 'my little giraffe' or 'I wanna eat'.

"Caleb..." She whispered so softly that I barely even heard it.

Who's Caleb?

"Who?" I tried asking her but she was still asleep.

She didn't mumble anything after that.

We arrive at her house and I carry her out the car potato sack style.

I ring the doorbell and wait for someone to get it.

The door opens to reveal Oggy looking at us confused.

"Hey, Ryry! Is there something wrong with sissy?" A frown found itself on his face.
