Chapter 11

Ashley's POV
We all sat down around the TV in the basement. Me, Payt, Angelica, and Brent were on the couch. Lily and Tessa sat on the floor in front of the couch. We turned on a horror movie.

I leaned my head on Payton's shoulder and he put his arm around me, "You scared?"

"I'm actually not scared of horror movies, Mr. Moormeier," I giggled looking up at him and poking his nose, "boop!"

He looked at me and smirked, "boop?"

"Yes. Boop." I replied poking is nose again, "It's a game, like tag, but you 'boop' the other person's nose. Like the game 'got you last'," I explained.

"In that case," he said lifting his arm, "boop." he poked my nose and as i scrunched it.

"Oh you don't know what you've gotten yourself in to Payt," I smirked at him.

"Or do I?" He laughed, making me giggle.

"I'll get you later when you least expect it, but for now....let's watch the movie," I grinned.

"I'll be watching you sassy," He squinted.

"Let's make it a bet." I suggested.

"I'm interested, continue," He laughed.

"Okay time limit is midnight," I picked up my phone and set an alarm for 12AM.

"Who ever is it at 12AM loses. If I win, you have to stop calling me 'sassy' and 'miss sassy' and 'miss sassypants' and 'sassypants' and-"

"Okay, I get it no nicknames about your sassyness," he cut me off, "If I win, you will let me take you on a date," he smirked

"....as friends," he muttered after a pause.

He seemed really happy before he said the 'as friends' part...does he want to take me on an actual date not as friends? nah, that makes zero sense. He wouldn't add the last part if he was actually interested in me. God, Ashley stop making me everything complicated.

"Deal," I smiled.

We continued watching the movie and I jumped a couple of times at jump scares, but as I said before, scary movies don't have much of an effect on me.

But at one point, I pretended to be scared and cuddled into Payton's chest.

"I know what you're plotting, sassy," He said covering his nose with one hand and pulling me closer with his other arm.

"Ah fuck you," I pouted at him, "You were
supposed to feel bad for meeeee," i whined.

"Yeah, but you said you didn't get scared, so you ruined your own plan," He laughed,
patting me on the head, "Nice try though."

The movie finished and Lily, Angelica, and Brent were low key scared, while the rest of us could honestly care less.

It was now around 7:30

"I know we're definitely not sleeping anytime soon, but we should figure out where everyone is gonna sleep." Angelica said.

There were two mattresses in the basement as well as a pullout mattress in the couch. Around 2 or 3 people could fit per mattress.

"We could put the boys on one bed and I could go with Angelica, while Tessa and Lily pair up," I suggested.

"Yeah...but I wanna cuddle, and I would rather not cuddle Brent and Payton," Cole laughed.
