That's Hockey Baby

CH. 11: "I need some advice"

 I groaned and rolled over and immediately jumped almost falling on the floor.
  "What. The. FUCK? Travis seriously?" he was sitting on the side of my bed staring at me.
  "I need some advice." he said before giving me any time to even slow my heart rate.
  "From me?" I raised my eyebrow.
  "Well, I'm not going to take it, I just need to hear it." I giggled before rubbing my face with my hands.
  "Okay shoot." I looked over on the bedside table to see a cup of coffee. "You brought me coffee?"
  "Yeah but you took too long to wake up so I drank it." I narrowed my eyes at him but gestured for him to continue with whatever he needed advice on.
  "So I like this girl. I don't know if she likes me too. Provy seems to think she does but I'm not sure. What do I do?" he looked at me like I was dumb when I squealed.
  "You're coming to me with girl problems? Oh my baby Travy is growing uppp." I pulled him into a hug and I could hear him grumble against my shoulder. "What was that now?"
  "I knew I shouldn't have come to you." he smirked.
  "No I wanna help I promise."
  "So what do I do?"
  "Well, honestly? Just talk to her. Ask her out but be nice. Whatever you do, don't have Provy ask for you." I gave him a look because I could practically see that idea forming in his mind. He furrowed his brow.
  "What if she doesn't like me though?"
  "How long have you known her?"
  "A few months I guess."
  "Have you hung out with her at all? Let her see who you really are?"
  "We've hung out a couple times alone, few times with the guys."
  "Then there is no way she doesn't like you Trav. Anyone who knows you knows how great you are and would want to be in your life. Just give her a chance. And if somehow she doesn't like you, then you have my permission to slap Nolan in the face."
  "Hey, what did I do to be brought into this?" Nolan looked around the corner with a shocked look on his face.
  "Well, I can't say he could slap me. He wouldn't for one, and for two if for some reason he did, you'd kill him. So we'll just skip the middle man and let him hit you." Nolan just shrugged and nodded and then headed down to the living room. We were supposed to watch a movie today, but he would have to wait until I got my best friend duties out of the way.
 It took another half hour of convincing but I finally managed to get Travis to agree to call the girl and set up a date, a real one. I quickly climbed out of bed once he left the room and threw on a pair of sweatpants that were laying on the floor, not caring if they were mine or Nolan's and headed down to the living room for movie day. When I walked into the living room, Nolan wasn't there so I walked into the kitchen to find him standing behind the counter smiling at me, a full breakfast buffet of food layed out in front of him.
  "Did-did you make me breakfast?" he nodded and by his grin I could tell he was so proud of himself. I smiled and walked up to him and threw my arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips. I could feel his smile on my lips and I loved knowing I was one of the few people in his life who could bring that smile out full force.
 We ate breakfast while joking and teasing each other. It was kind of nice to have some time with just him since Ava and Carter had gone out somewhere and Travis had locked himself in his room to talk to the girl he had woken me up for. After breakfast we went into the living room and I gasped when I noticed there was an entire blanket fort set up around the tv that hadn't been there when I walked in here earlier. I looked at Nolan with a confused look.
  "I convinced Travis to set it up before he called his girl."
  "You're the best Nolan." I said as we crawled into the blanket fort and got comfortable.
  "You deserve the best, so that's what I'm going to try and be for you." I had tears trying to escape my eyes, but I willed them back and leaned forward to kiss Nolan again.
  "Thank you." I said between kisses. He smiled and started the movie. We were having a Harry Potter marathon. We were through the first 2 movies before I tried to get up and get something to drink but was stopped when Nolan's arms tightened around my waist.
  "Nolan I need to get something to drink." I giggled.
  "No, today you are my prisoner and you don't get to leave. I'll get it." I watched as he crawled out, smiling to myself. How did I get so lucky?
