The To-Do List

Chapter 5

Ariana's Pov:
I wake up to see Alex on the air mattress, thrashing around and screaming.

"ARIANA!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!" He half screams half cries.

I walk over to him and nudge him lightly to wake him up, but his nightmare got the best of him. Alex sobs in his sleep, murmuring that he should've helped or done something. I shrug it off and lay in my bed with my eyes closed.

I hear Alex get up, and pretend to sleep to see what he'll do. I hear the footsteps come towards me and try to hold in my giggles. He puts his arms around me and whispers,

"I love you"

I wanted to say it back, but i couldn't. Not because I didn't love him, but because I would scare him to death. I made little sleepy noises and rolled over to the other side of the bed, again testing Alex's reactions. He climbed into the bed and closed his eyes, obviously trying to get a better sleep.

-Time Skip-
I wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs and smile. I put on my purple robe and quietly walked downstairs. I see Alex's handsome figure in front of the stove, flipping bacon. He hasn't noticed me so i quickly run over and wrap my arms around him, and kiss his neck.

"Well, if I'd known you'd do that, I would've started making you breakfast a long time ago." He says while smirking.

We both laugh and i set the table for two. Wow. I liked having a table for two, when the other was Alex. i wished it could stay this way, but I knew it couldn't. I knew I'd have to move to California in five days.

We ate quickly, getting ready for the next thing on the list. With a full mouth, i ask Alex to read the next activity.

"Jump into a baby pool filled with Nutella." He reads

"You can't be serious..." I say.

"There it is sweet cheeks, plain as day, in purple crayon." He smirks.

"You know I HATE Nutella!" I whine.

"Oh well, Pooky." He smirked.

I punched him in the forearm because he knows I HATE it when he calls me Pooky.

"Well, I guess we better get in our bathing suits and find a baby pool filled with Nutella!" He said cheerfully.

"Hey! It never said we had to get in bathing suits!" I pleaded.

"I know" He smirked again and threw me a black VERY revealing bikini.

"Oh no! There's NO way I'm wearing that!" I said while storming out of the room.

"Well if you're gonna be smothered in Nutella, you might as well look hot while doing it!" He shouted after me.

"I'm only wearing that if you give me $50, chocolate chip pancakes, and I get to pick out your bathing suit." I say, thinking he would say no.

"Deal!" Alex said readily, and he threw the bathing suit at me again.

When i put on the bathing suit, I had to pin the front to keep it from flapping open. I looked in the mirror and realized that I looked stunning. I put on light make up and walked out, super model style. Alex's mouth dropped to the floor as he looked at me.

"Wow... you look different...I mean... you look.... well... wow... uh... you..." Alex stuttered and I swear I saw some drool slide out of his mouth.

"Oh, come on Alex. It's just a swimming suit! I'm sooooooo excited 'cause now I get to pick out yours!" I squealed.

We went to Target and I picked out a really tight bathing suit, with Spider-Man on them. Alex was in the changing room, and when I handed them to him he said,

"HECK TO THE NO! THERE IS NO WAY IM WEARING THAT PIECE OF CRAP!"

"Oh, but you are my friend. Let us not forget the deal: I wear a sexy bathing suit that makes you drool, you wear a stupid bathing suit that makes me laugh." I recite, almost as if planned.

"Fine" he groans, and I have to admit, he still looked HANDSOME in such a ridiculous bathing suit.

After finding 'the perfect suit', we go to the food section and grab every jar of Nutella there. We got many weird stares, but who cares? I mean honestly, I would stare if someone had taken forty jars of Nutella. We paid for everything and left.

"Dang it! We forgot the Baby Pool!" Alex says, obviously upset.

"I think I have an old one at my house." I state.

When we started to walk out the door, Alex picks me up bridal style and carries me to the car. We get home quickly and fill the pool up with chocolate disgustingness.

"Alex, its ready!" I call, but can't seem to find him.

I feel strong arms grab me by the waist, and he throws me in, laughing as I hit the mush and it makes a sucking noise.

"ALEX JOHN THORNE!!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!" I scream while laughing.

"Oh will I, Princess Nutella?" He grinned as I ran after him, he went towards the front of my house.

I went out front and couldn't find him. I looked down slowly and realized my bathing suit had ripped in the front, and that I was in front of millions of people since it was parade day. Basically I'd shown myself to the world, and it was all Alex's fault!

I grabbed the pool, after putting on a shirt of course, and dumped its reminisce into his car.

That oughta get him! I thought, and an evil grin came across my face.

I finally found him and said,

"It's okay Alex, i forgive you. No hard feelings."

"What did you do?" Alex said, with a worried look on his face.

"Nothing" I said while smiling, mimicking Alex when he took my phone earlier.
