Tackled

Chapter 6~ Liam's POV

Waking up I had my arms wrapped around a small body, looking over I seen Gabby asleep. Her breathing was soft and steady, her cheeks were a rosy color, and her eyelashes were gently resting against her lightly tanned skin.

God she's so beautiful and perfect.

Waking up with her in my arms feels way to good. She's my best friend, but I really wish she could be mine. Mine to call my girlfriend. I love her. I always have.

"Mornin Li." Gabby's sweet voice wrecked my thoughts making me jump.

"Mornin Gabs. How'd you sleep?"

"Good. You're comfy." Gabby laughed.

"Thanks?" She just looks at me and smiles.

"Anyhoo I'm hungry."

"Of course you are, let's go get you food." She jumps out of bed excitedly which makes me laugh. She pulls my wrist dragging me downstairs to the kitchen.

"Make me food." She says jumping up and sitting on the counter.

"What do you want?"

"Anything I'm just hungry."

"Ok." I pull out waffles, bacon, eggs and start cooking. She's talking to me the whole time and while it was cooking she started laughing and I walked towards her.

I put my body between her legs while she was laughing.

"What're you laughing at?"

"You."

"You're gonna get it Gabs."

"No don't you dare don't you da-" I started tickling her.

"Li-Liam!" Gabby screams with a laugh
I stop and Gabby takes the time to catch her breath.
"I hate you!" She laughed again.

"No you don't. You loveee mee!" I mock with a two year old voice.
Before Gabby can speak again my dad walks into the kitchen.

"Mornin kids" His voice is groggy from sleep.

"Mornin' Mr. Walker!" Gabby's sweet voice filled the room.

"Gabby, how many times do i have to say, just call me Will! Jeez you practicallylive here in the summer."

"Sorry! Old habits die hard."

"Ok. Eat your breakfast and head home so you can get ready for school."

"Crap. I totally forgot!" I whisper-yelled because my mama is still sleeping.

Gabby hops of the counter and sits at the bar-stool to eat her breakfast. I run upstairs to my bedroom and get changed from my old clothes.
I put on a white t-shirt and jeans with my boots. My boots look like the ones I got Gabby for her 17th birthday last year. I grab my jean jacket and book bag as I wall out of my room.
Running down the steps I see Gabby give my dad a hug before she walked out the door, closing it behind her.
I go over to the door and before I leave I tell my dad bye then I head off to school. When I get there I go over to my locker where a couple boys from the team and few girls are standing around it.

"What's up."

"Hey Liam." One of the girls drags out my name and I roll my eyes.

"Where's that girl?" Nate asks.

"Who?"

"The real cute one."

"Gabby?"

"Yeah her."

"What about her?"
"She's usually attached to your hip." I roll my eyes at him and he chuckles. "She isn't attached to my hip we are just bestfriends."
"Mhm sure." I start getting annoyed so I just get my stuff and walk off.
"Liam!" My name is called but i don't care to turn around. I hear feet slapping on the tile floor and within a few seconds a hand lands on my shoulder.
"Hey man. Sorry about back there." Easton apologized.
"It's fine." I start heading off again.
"Wait," Easton catches up again," Can I ask Gabby out?"
"Why are you asking me? I'm not her dad." I am beyond annoyed now, but i can't let it show.
"I know, but your her best friend."
"Sure dude. Go head."
Easton smiles, "Thanks!"
Easton walks back to the group of guys. I start to walk to class but my feet grow a mind of their own and before I know it I am walking into the field torward the tackle pads to let off some steam.
I spent most of 1st & 2nd period just going blow for blow with the pads. Why does Easton want to go out with Gabby? Yes, she's gorgeous. Yes, she gets a lot of guys' attention. But she's mine! I just don't have the balls to tell her... I'm scared that if I tell her, she won't feel the same way and i would've fucked up our friendship. I can't loose
Gabby. I love her to much. I've never needed anybody as much, as I need Gabby, in my life. Time to get back to school.
