Summer-Richie Tozier x Reader

Road trip-Chapter 5

I told everyone to meet me at my house later that day with a weeks worth of clothes and as much money as possible around 2:00 pm. Beverly went to her house to pack her bag and so did Richie and Ben. I really hope no one gets caught. Since it's the weekend, everyone's parents are home except mine.

I was sitting at my dining room table drawing on the map to find out the quickest way from point A to point B when I heard my bedroom window open then shut from upstairs.

"You know Rich, I have a front door."

"Of course I do beautiful I just think it makes a more dramatic entrance."He said skipping down the stairs as I rolled my eyes at his stupid response.

"Whatever you say."

It makes my heart flutter when he calls me that but he's just kidding. Right?

"Hey, I need to talk to you." I say seriously.

"Yeah what's up?" Richie said as he sat next to me. "Wait am I in trouble? I didn't know that it was a pizza roll! I swear!"

"What? What pizza roll?"

"Wait you're not talking about the pizza roll?"

"Should I be?"

"No. No, you shouldn't because nothing happened with the pizza roll." Richie said with relief.

"Uhh ok...anyway, remember last night when we saw the- you know the..." I couldn't finish the sentence.

"The Balloon. Yeah, what about it?" Richie said, helping me finish my sentence.

"Something else happened. I keep hearing a... a boy. A little boy. He keeps telling me to help him and he keeps calling my name. He says someone hurt him!" My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes. "I think it's Georgie.."

I looked up at Richie's rather shocked face as he pulled me in for a hug. "Y/n." He said sweetly into my ear. "I'm glad you told me. Just don't tell anyone else until we know for sure. Especially not Bill. Okay?" I nodded as we pulled away. I smiled while he wiped a tear from my face.

"You know I love you right?" I all could do is stare at him. "I love you a lot and I don't just call you beautiful or princess just because I can, it's because I mean it." I saw him blushing just as much as I was. "You love me?"

"Yeah, I have since middle school. At the quarry, remember? When we went to the quarry on summer break? That was when I realized I've met the girl of my dreams." All I could do was look into his deep brown eyes. It felt like someone else was controlling my body as I grabbed his cheek and kissed him. His eyes opened wide with shock until he closed his eyes and kissed me back.

I slowly started to crawl onto his lap kissing him passionately. His kiss moved from my lips to my neck, leaving marks."We~uahh~cant tell~Ahw~anyone~mMmm~about this." I said between heavy breathes.

"What's wrong princess? Scared people will know you fell for such a stud?" Richie said in his usual cocky tone.

"Hey, guys so I brought sna-" Beverly cut herself off at the sight of us.

"Oh shit." I said getting off him. " You saw nothing okay?" She gave me a smile

"Good job y/n! Took you long enough!" She said with enthusiasm. Richie looked utterly confused. "What do you mean 'took you long enough'?"

"Oh y/n's had a crush on you since middle school."

"Shut up!" Richie gave the happiest smile I've ever seen him make. He picked me up from my waist spinning me in the air "I KNEW IT!!!" He yelled.
"Put me down Trashmouth! I mean it!" I ordered "Anything my love. Anything for you."

Just in time, Ben walked in. "Hey, guys so I got some sna- what's going on?" He said looking back and forth from me, Beverly and Richie.

"Nothing!" We all quickly said in sync.

"Ok fine anyway, I've got food clothes and 200 bucks. Is that good?"

"That's perfect!" I said grabbing his bag and setting it on the couch.

Richie still clearly had pink lipstick all over his face as well as me.

"So where is everyone else?" Richie said putting on his shoes.

"Oh, Bill said that He was coming with and Mike and Stanley and Eddie said he needed to go to the pharmacy first." We sat in silence trying to ignore the fact that Richie and I are both wearing wet n' wild lipstick.

~time skip~

All the losers brought what they needed, money, clothes, and a few snacks. Everyone was outside putting their stuff in the car while Richie and I were going around the kitchen getting food in awkward silence. "So... " He said trailing off. "That kiss."

"Oh yeah, that... Uh, sorry about the lipstick. by the way, it's still on your face." I responded uncomfortably. I could feel the tenseness in the air as I opened the fridge.

"Its ok princess. I'm not embarrassed by makeup. But are we... You know together now?" He said looking down in embarrassment."

I kissed his cheek before smiling up at his warm face. "Sure!" I said before walking out the door.

"Alright everyone get in!" I exclaimed grasping the car door handle. I felt I big, pale hand grab my wrist. "Are you the one with a permit?" Richie said smiling down at me as he flashed his little card.

"Fine Motherfucker!" I said pouting before getting in the passenger seat.

"Literally." I heard Richie whisper under his breath. Even Stanley giggled at that one. And with that, we were on our way to Hawkins Indiana.
