The To-Do List

Chapter 7

Ariana's Pov:
"Oh. My. Gosh. ALEX!! What the HECK WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!" I managed to scream out at him while helping Ricky up.

"Well... Umm... Sorry..." He mumbled back, as if he hadn't tried to punch this innocent guy in the face.

"Let me get you a wet towel, Ricky." I said, trying to wash off his face. I grabbed a paper towel since they had no towels at the dealership, and began dabbing the spots where he was bleeding. Ricky cringed every time I would touch the rawest spot on his face.

"You don't have to do this Ariana," Ricky began, " I was intruding on you guys. It wasn't right of me to come over and basically ask you out when you had a boyfriend."

"I don't have a boyfriend... Who could you think was my boyfr... Oh Alex? He's just an old friend, and that was SO not cool what he did to you." I explained, aware of the nasty glare I was getting from Alex.

I managed to get a smile out of Ricky, which made Alex's glare become more intense. I looked down and realized our hands were touching, Ricky's and mine. It sent chills down my spine, which hadn't ever happened to me before.

"Excuse us for a second please." I said to Ricky, pulling Alex to the side.

"Alex! What is going on with you?" I whispered and scolded him at the same time.

"I cant lose you, alright? I'm already going to lose you in a couple days, and I wasn't going to let him take more time away from us." Alex said quietly.

"Awww, Alex! I'm sorry. I didn't realize you cared so much about me. I love you, ya know. Just as friends though." I said.

Alex's Pov:
Just as friends... Her words echoed in my mind. Just as friends? How could we just be friends? Couldn't she tell I was in love with her? Maybe she didn't feel the same way. I frowned a little, and Ariana began waving her hand in front of my face.

"Alex? ALEX! Hullo? Anybody in there?" Ariana said to me with a concerned look on her face.

"Hmmm... Whaa?" I said, startled as I realized we were in the car, and I was driving.

"I said, do you like this one?" Ariana questioned again.

"I like someone whose in it.." I mumbled softly, hoping she wouldn't hear me.

"What was that?" Ariana pressed.

"I love you." I said while smirking.

"Love ya too!" She said, letting a giggle slip out.

We finally found a car I liked and drove home, "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift blaring in our ears. Ariana said it was her new favorite song, so I played it about fifteen times just so I could hear her beautiful voice again. I had to drop Ariana off at her house, so I walked her to the door, my fingers intertwined with hers.

"I had fun," she said

"Me too."

I put my arm on the woodwork of her door, blocking her path. I stared into her eyes, and put my hands on Ariana's waist.

"What are you doi.." She began to say, but i cut her off.

"Ariana, our night isn't over yet."

"What do you mean?" She questioned.

"We only have a few days left to complete the list, so we can't slack now!" I encouraged her.

"Well, what does the list say to do next?" She asks.

"It says 'Do the What's in My Mouth Challenge.' Ooooohh yesssssss! I LOVE this game!!" I squealed.

"Of course you do" Ariana sighed, because she hated it.

"Oh, come on party-pooper! Its FUNNNNNN!" I said.

We started to look for blindfolds to put on and I picked out one that said 'Who's Awake?' on it with little owls. Ariana put one on that said 'Would Rather Be Sleeping!'

I put my blindfold on, and readied my taste buds. Please don't be anything gross, I thought. I always went first at everything to see how tough Ariana would be. Then I would retaliate with something worse.

"READDDDDDDDDY!" She squealed, her loud footsteps approaching me.

"OOPPPEEENNN WIIIIIIIIIDDDDEE!" Ariana said in a sing-song voice.

Reluctantly, I opened my mouth and a spoon was shoved in it.

Lemon? No, cheese? Peppers? I had no clue.

"Is it taco dip?" I guessed, knowing it was wrong.

"NOOOOOOOOO. Its Lemon juice squirted in cottage cheese with Tabasco sauce." Ariana said, obviously pleased at my failure.

"NEXT!" I shouted.

I heard a few pans clatter on the floor, and some swearing. Then I heard the feet toddling towards me.

"This is a good one." She said.

I opened my mouth again and powder was shoved in it.

"Ugh! Is it flour and cocoa powder?" I guessed.

"CUUUUUUURRRECT!" Ariana said.

After a few more horrible things that included a brush, used of course, phone, lamp, tennis racket, and a sock, it was my turn.

Ariana put on her blindfold and started to hum a song it didn't know. What will be good, I thought. A smirk came across my face, cause i knew what I would make.

I threw some peanut butter, milk, honey, and chopped nuts, because I LOVED nuts!!!

"Open up!" I said.

She did and instantly he face went pale. I was worried, very worried. Ariana fell to the floor holding her throat.

"ARIANA! WHATS WRONG?" I shouted, kneeling to the floor with her.

I knew that split second what I had done. I had given her nuts. Nuts that she was allergic to. Nuts that could suffocate her. Nuts that could kill her.
