Chapter 7

RYANS POV

*3 hours later*

Ben and Amy had left and me and Laura were sitting on the floor in my lounge.

"So where are you taking me on this hot date Ry?" She chuckled.

"Where do you want me to take you?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing flashy, just a good night with good company." She smiled.

"I'll see what I can come up with" I smiled.

We stayed up all night watching films like most best friends do. I dont even know if this between us is a best friend type of thing but I love being around her. She makes me happy. So happy.

She fell asleep on my chest. I picked her up and carried her to the spare bedroom. I swear we both just end up in each others spare rooms. I tucked her up and pulled out some blankets from one of the cupboards for me. I'll take the couch.

*Middle of the night*

I woke up to the sound of Abbi crying. I pulled myself up the stairs and followed the crying into my room. It had stopped. I saw Laura standing with Abbi in her arms rocking her from side to side.

"Im sorry if she woke you" I rubbed the back of my neck feeling bad.

"No its fine, I don't really sleep much anyway." She smiled at me and then back to Abbi.

I walked towards her,

"How did I end up with a friend as perfect as you?" I asked.

"I dont know Lewis, you're a lucky guy." She smiled again as she put Abbi back into her crib.

She stepped forward and looked into my eyes.

"You're a great man Ryan, and a great dad" she said, placing her hand on my chest.

I pushed a strand of loose hair out of her face. I felt heat building up around my body and my heart was beating so fast. I swear I felt like leaning in and taking her lips in mine right then and there. But no, not now. Damn, Ry what's got into you, she would never be interested, its just a friendship. A FRIENDSHIP.

She smiled, I wondered if she'd read my mind but she simply stared at me,

"I should probably get back to bed" she walked past me before turning around.

"Goodnight Ryan"

"Goodnight Laura" I smiled.

My heart was still beating fast as she walked back into the spare room.

*The Next Morning*

Me and Abbi drove Laura home and I told her i'd pick her up later as we had a live performance of 'Second Last Chance' on the Ellen Show. I was so excited!

I then drove to Ben and Amy's.

When we arrived I knocked on the large wooden door. Amy answered and Abbi jumped into her arms.

Ben came up behind Amy.

"Ah my two favourite people" He smiled at me and then at Abbi.

I walked in and we went to sit on the chairs in the kitchen. They were my favourite kind of chairs, tall and spinny. I sat in one and swiveled around, amusing myself and the people around me,

"weeeeeeeeee" I screamed.

"Dude, you're weird as fuck" Ben shook his head whilst laughing.

I stopped and jumped down from the seat and walked to the fridge to get myself a soda.

"oh help yourself.." Ben laughed.

"I am.." I laughed back.

I changed the subject,

"So, you excited for the ellen performance later?" I raised an eyebrow as I opened the can and took a sip.

"Yeah, super excited. What about Laura, is she pumped for it?" Ben asked, assuming I would know.

"I guess she is...how would I know?" I asked.

"Well, you two are really close so..."

"We're just friends.." I assured him.

"I never implied you were anything more" He chuckled.

"Oh well, good.." I rubbed the back of my neck feeling embarrassed.

"Do you want it to be anything more? You asked her on a date...there must be something there..." He raised an eyebrow.

"I really dont know, since jackie I haven't felt that way about anyone, but its different with Laura. She gets me. Shes an amazing girl. Funny, talented, smart, pretty.." I trailed off thinking about Laura.

"Sounds like you're falling for her..." Ben smiled.

"I dont know, I guess it seems that way.." I bit my lip coming to the realisation that I was possibly falling for her. I smiled.
