**Darcy's POV

We soon all got bored of truth or dare. The highlights were Paper attempting to kiss Daisy and being instantly rejected and Chase being dared to jump in the freezing pool from the outdoor balcony.

We were now all spread around the house. I was sat in the middle of the kitchen island with Addison and Daisy. We were just chatting about our lives and getting to know eachother a little more. The Lopez brothers were choreographing a new dance for a tik tok and Nick, Paper and Ryland were jumping off the balcony onto beanbags.

"I think we should try," I mumble watching Paper plumit into the pile of beanbags,

"Ooo.. I dunno," Daisy said scrunching her nose, "what if we die?"

"We won't die," I laugh, "c'mon it'll be fun!"

"I'll do it if Daisy does it," Addison says turning her gaze from the guys back to us.

I finally convince Daisy and we head up the stairs to where they're jumping from, "you three not too scared to do this?" Nick asks as we peer over the banister,

"Scared?.. No.." I say,

"Maybe a little," Daisy admits,

"I want to to go first," Addison says squeezing infront of Nick.

He laughs as he helps her over the banister, "just aim for the beanbags and you'll be fine."

With that she jumps, screams and lands perfectly in the middle of the beanbags, "I'm alive!"

We all laugh and then Nick goes and Daisy follows, "not backing out now are we?" a voice asks as I hesitate to climb over the banister. I look over my shoulder to see Ryland.

"Never," I smile, "just don't want to fall. Will you help me over?"

He nods and comes closer. I grab his hand before swinging my legs over the railing and onto the balcony ledge. "You got this," he grins squeezing my hand."

His smile is the best thing god has ever created. Like how can one persons smile be so perfect? Then again is whole face is kind of perfect... I soon get pulled out of my daze when Charli and Dixie walk through the front door with Chase and Thomas and their Dunkin Donuts.

" Oh my gosh!, " Charli says staring up at me.

I look down at the pile of beanbags and let go of Ryland's hand as I  jump. I land softly in the middle of the cushioned pile.

"And this is what happens at the hype house," Alex laughs pointing is vlog camera in my direction. I just burst out laughing and move out the way so Ryland can jump.

"You're crazy," Charli laughs handing me the iced coffee she'd bought for me,

"Just a little," I giggle nudging her and taking a sip.

-few hours later-

It was soon 11pm and I was officially shattered. I'd just got off the phone with my mom and I found everyone in the theatre room sprawled over the sofa, beanbags and floor. I found a space  between nick and Avani and sat down, they were watching 'Ice Age'. 

"You tired?" Nick asks, I nod in reply and he gestures for me to come closer to him,

So I do as he says and move closer to him. I rest my head on his shoulder and his arm wraps round my shoulders.

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

"Darcy," someone says shaking me, "Darcy."

I open my eyes to see Nick and Addison staring down at me. I obviously drifted off. I sit up stretching and look around to see it was just the three of us left.

"Sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep,"

"Don't worry we both fell asleep too," Addison yawns, "I promise the bed upstairs is comfier." She holds out her hand and I grab it. We say goodnight to Nick and head upstairs to bed.

We were soon tucked up in bed, Addison in hers and me on the mattress on the floor. I could tell that she fell asleep straight away as she was softly snoring, but for some reason I just couldn't get to sleep. I decided to go on my phone to see if that would help, I scrolled through Tik Tok and replied to a few comments and watched the videos that everyone had posted today. I then went onto Instagram to see that Avani had tagged me in a really cute pic of the two of us in her new merch, I obviously liked and shared it to my story.

But I still couldn't get to sleep. I quietly left Addison's bedroom and made my way back downstairs to the kitchen, it was 4am. I could her laughing coming from Alex and Kouvr's room as well as Calvin and Patrick screaming at each other, they're so hilarious its insane. I finally get to the kitchen and grab some orange juice from the fridge and the nearest clean glass. I lean on the counter top scrolling through my phone and sipping from my glass until some one clears their throat behind me. I turn around to be met with a topless Ryland in grey sweatpants.

"Can't sleep?" he asks, I shake my head, "same here. You did sleep through all three movies though,"

"There were three?"

"Yup," he laughs, grabbing himself a bottle of water, "Ice Age, Moana and IT,"

"What a random selection," I giggle, jumping up to sit on the countertop,

"Yeah, Kouvr really wanted to watch Moana and I can't remember who thought of putting IT on." He leans on the counter opposite looking directly into my eyes, "you're really pretty ya know,"

"Smooth,"

"No I'm serious," he laughs, "I was a bit jealous of Nick cuddling you on the sofa,"

"Really?" I say a little shocked, "you were jealous?"

"Why is it such a big surprise?"

I shrug taking another sip of orange juice, "I dunno, I just didn't expect it,"

"You're adorable."

He sets his bottle of water down and moves to stand right in front of me. His fingertips brushing strands of hair out of my face. Shivers are sent down my spine as his other hand brushes my thigh, his forehead then rests upon mine. I look up into his eyes and I can't help but wonder how it would feel to kiss him. Our lips are centimetres apart, I can feel his warm breath on my skin. 

That's of course when Calvin comes running down the stairs being chased by Patrick. Ryland quickly moves back to the opposite side of the kitchen just in time for the two of them to run through us.

Was I really just about to kiss Ryland?
