(Sorry I haven't updated I have been doing my schools play this entire week and getting home late I usually don't take this long to update but with thanksgiving break I'll update more —love you guys 🥰)

Annas POV

"We are watching descendants." Jermey tells us.

"Yes!" Madi yells as she gets excited.

"We all better sing along to every song." Owen says playfully.

I nod my head in agreement. The movie starts and Owen wraps his arms around me. I feel butterflies enter my stomach as I rest my head on his shoulder. Madi raises her eyebrows at me and Owen and shakes her head. Owen pulls me closer to him as I cuddle into his embrace. Every time he laughs I laugh with him because his laugh is so contagious. We scream the lyrics to the first couple of songs.

"Charlie!" Owen yelled causing me to laugh.

"What?" Charlie yelled back from the other side of the couch.

"Wanna make us popcorn?" Owen yelled playfully.

"Make it yourself!" Charlie yelled back.

"Shut up! I can't hear the movie!" Madi yelled at them causing me to laugh.

"I can make it." I mumble as I start to get up but Owen pulls me back into his embrace.

"I'll make it." Owen says softly as he gets up.

I follow behind him as we both try and be quiet due to the movie still being on.

"Where's the popcorn?" Owen whispers as he panics.

We both hold back laughter as we rummage through Jeremys cabinets.

"I have no clue." Owen says as he laughs.

We sneak back into the room.

"Pssst....Jer....." Owen whispered loudly at Jermey.

"What's the point of whispering if you are gonna be loud anyways?" Madi says sarcastically.

"What?" Jermey whispered back.

"We can't find the popcorn." Owen tells him.

Jermey gets up and shows us where the popcorn is.

"I checked in there! I swore it wasn't there." Owen says in disbelief as Jermey hands him the popcorn.

"You obviously didn't look well enough." I reply sharply.

Jermey walks back into the room and leaves me and Owen to make the popcorn. Owen puts the popcorn in and leans against the counter as we wait. I sit on the counter next to him as I dangle my legs off the edge. I feel Owen rest his hand on my thigh causing my heart to beat quickly.

"Who's your favorite character from descendants?" Owen asks me playfully.

I smile at him as I try and think.

"Uhh... I think my favorite is king Ben." I say as I laugh.

"Interesting choice." He replies playfully.

"He's very hot." I say softly causing Owens eyes to widen.

"Oh...... but he's not hotter than me." He says sarcastically.

"I don't know..." I say playfully as I tease him.

We talk about the movie and he keeps his hand on my leg causing me to be very nervous. The popcorn started to smell like it was burning.

"How long did you put it in for?" I ask him as I stare at the microwave with concern.

"Uh... I thought two minutes." He says as he stares at the timer.

"That says twenty minutes." I say as a laugh leaves my mouth.

He squints as he looks at the timer as a laugh leaves his mouth. It had been in there for seven minutes.

"Crap." He mumbles as he quickly opens the microwave door.

The second he opens it we both cough as smoke comes from the microwave.

"Did you idiots burn the popcorn?" Madi yelled from the other room.

"No. Why would you think that?" Owen yells as he waves his hands frantically at the smoke.

I hold back laughter as I stare at the burnt popcorn bag.

"You are so dumb." I say as I can't breathe due to how hard I was laughing.

"Shut up." He says playfully.

He tries to grab the bag but pulls his hand away quickly due to how hot it was. I almost fall over due to how hard I was laughing. Owen held his hands on my waist in order to keep my body up right. My eyes locked with him as we both continued to laugh. We stopped laughing as he stared into each other's eyes. I felt my breath get caught into my throat as his eyes glanced down at my lips.

"Are you guys gonna actually gonna make the popcorn?" Charlie asks as he walks into the room.

Me and Owen quickly looked away from each and awkwardly stepped back from each other. Charlie awkwardly cleared his throat as he stared at us.

"Yeah..... we are gonna make another bag." Owen says softly.

"Okay....Anna wanna come back and watch the movie?" Charlie asked me.

"Uh... I gotta make sure Owen doesn't burn another bag." I say playfully.

"Okay... bye." Charlie says softly as he walks out of the room.

Owen throws the bag of popcorn away and grabs a new one.

"I'll type in the time this time." I say playfully.

I punch in two minutes and hit start.

"Let's hope it doesn't burn this time." Owen says as he laughs.

We hear the song "if only" from descendants playing from the other room.

"May I have this dance." Owen says playfully as he extends his hand to me.

I laugh and take his hand. He spins me around as a smile stays stuck on my face. He dips me causing me to giggle. He slowly brought my body back up leaving our faces inches apart. He spun me away from him as his eyes stayed locked on mine. He spun me back into his arms. His eyes flickered to my lips as he started to lean in. I felt nervous as his lips almost touched mine.

*BEEP

The microwave beeped loudly causing me and Owen to quickly break apart from each other.
