The hate game

31

Dylan's's POV

"I brought pizza and ice cream"

"I'll be right with you" I say, grab a shirt and pull it over my head as I head downstairs.

"Seriously Ash, who's going to eat all this" I ask as I gawk at the amount of food on the floor beside her.

" Me of course, now keep your mouth shut, get sitted and help me decide on what movie we are going to watch or I pick and you don't get to complain about whatever I pick"

I move to grab the remote control out of her hand "it's my turn to choose tonight no way I'm letting you pick"

She rolls her eyes " Here I was thinking you'd forget about that"

"There's no way I'd forget after all the horrible choices you made the last time" I say and move to sit beside her.

She gives me a slap on my head " They weren't horrible" she says and fold her arms, I snort and face the television.

This has been our routine for a while now, I think everyone gets it and they respect it too although they give us shit for it everytime but the time we get to spend together is totally worth it and we get to learn more about each other along the line, I know Ashley like the back of my hand now and I know that she'll gobble down more than half of the food she brought over before the movie starts and by the time we run out of snacks at the middle of the movie she falls asleep, she never finishes the movie even the ones she picks.

I pick a movie as she dims the light and grab the blankets. Our parents are rarely at home so we have the apartment to ourselves, sometimes I go over to her place but most of the time she comes over.

I finally decide on The gentlemen and slip under the blanket beside her while she snuggles up to me, I put my hand around her shoulders and we both face the TV.

Like I predicted she wasn't awake by the time the credits are rolling and the snacks are all finished, I still wonder how she's this small when she eats this much especially since she doesn't go to the gym or do exercises.

I look at her face and smile at the peaceful expression on her face, sometimes I try to remember what it was I resented about this girl in particular but I can't come up with any tangible reason.

After we decided to become friends a lot had changed between us, for example, our individual friend circles had opened up and merged, we all eat together now and spend time together, while there are only two girls in our group I can tell you that the two girls are more than enough trouble especially Sophie, ughhh, that girl is a pain in the ass, always bossing us around and I do wonder how Caleb survives. I think Aaron and Cole don't mind either especially Cole who doesn't mind company at all while Zeke still looks at me like he'd bash my head in if I do so much as breathe wrongly at Ash, well I think that's all of them even my own friends but Zeke's takes the lead, he's not going to get the chance to beat me up though because I don't plan on hurting Ashley anymore.

I smile at her sleeping form once more and debate carrying her upstairs or just sleeping here and I decided on the latter, so I close my eyes and let sleep drag me under.

Ashley's POV

I crack open my eyes and see Dylan sleeping beside, I roll my eyes, the idiot was either to lazy to stand up and go upstairs or slept for like me while watching the movie, it was probably the former judging from the fact that the TV had been turned off.

I always sleep halfway through the movie and Dylan is always left with the burden of carrying me up the stairs or waking me but most times he just opts for sleeping on the floor.

I slide away trying as much as possible not to wake him up but he still cracks open an eye "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back" he nods and goes back to sleep.

I walk towards the restroom and wash my face, I stay here a lot now that I have spare stuffs here, I take my brush and wash my mouth, drag my hand through my hair and pad back to the living room.

I go over to where Dylan is sleeping and kick him "Hey idiot, wake up and go sleep in your room"

He grunts and open his eyes "Can't you just leave me in peace"

"Nope, now get up unless you want to wake up with body aches tommorow" I say

He grumbles but makes to stand up, I extend a hand to him and he grabs it but instead of me dragging him up, I fall over and land on his chest, he flicks my forehead "Chipmunk" he says and wrap his arm around my waist.

"Let me go Dylan, we need to get off the floor" I say as I struggle to get up

"Just five minutes please" he slurs

"Only five minutes that's all you get, then we go upstairs" I finally agree and his grunt is my reply. I rest my head on his shoulder and close my eyes for five minutes or that's what I thought.
