Mine For The Summer
Check out for updates
'Cause you were mine for the summer
Now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September
But I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love
Chapter 2
It had been a week since Ryan had asked Kelsi to hang out. And it had been six days since she first started working at Lava Springs.
The only thing she had said to him since getting there. "Hey Evans nice shorts,"
This was after the wildcats had entered though the staff gate and Sharpay had purposely throw herself in the pool to get Troy Bolton's attention.
Since then Ryan had only seen Kelsi running around to different areas of the club to play.
Now on this Thursday morning as he crossed the lobby he was beginning to feel dejected. When he noticed a certain brunette crossing the car park on her way to start work. She was of course going towards the staff entrance. So Ryan quickly dashed out and fell into step besides her. Sensing someone next to her Kelsi looked up and jumped.
"Cr gosh Ryan you scared me," she exclaimed
"You can curse if you want to," smiled Ryan
"I wasn't going to," smiled Kelsi
"So wanna hang out after your shift?" asked Ryan
"I'll be in the music room," smiled Kelsi as they got to the staff door.
"I'll be there," smiled Ryan leaning to peck Kelsi's cheek before walking off.
"What just happened," thought Kelsi as she went into the building a small smile gracing her face.
For the two four o'clock took a long time to come. But when it both found themselves anticipating what would happen.
Kelsi made her way to the music room with sweaty palms and butterflies in her stomach much the same as Ryan who she could see walking just up ahead of her.
Oh he looked so cute, that black top really clung to him and showed of the muscles that all that dancing produced and the blue jeans clung nicely to his butt and legs. Of course he had his trademark item on a hat this time a straw hat. As his arms swung next to him Kelsi could see the wide leather wristband that Ryan always wore over his watch. And she could hear the clinking of his metal dog tags.
Kelsi reached a hand up to feel for her hat she was wearing a white hat paired with a multi coloured tank top and white three quarter pants.
Taking some deep breaths and wiping her hands on her pants Kelsi entered the music room and was greeted by Ryan's easy going grin that made her relax. Why was she nervous again. Oh yeah she really liked Ryan.
"Hey," smiled Ryan standing up to hug her.
"Hey," replies Kelsi
"Oh mi gosh," thought Kelsi "He's going to hug me," she squealed in her head
Ryan brought Kelsi into his arms to give her a quick hug and she melted into them with a sigh.
"Did she just sigh," thought Ryan "Could she feel the same," he mused in his head
"Did he hear me sigh?" thought Kelsi "Oh why, oh why did I have to sigh," she rambled in her head as she pulled out of Ryan's embrace.
"So let's hang out," said Ryan
Kelsi nodded.
Twenty minutes later undue nervousness aside Kelsi and Ryan were tinkering around on the piano making one of Kelsi's compositions from good to great.
"Didn't know you played piano," said Kelsi
"Yeah I've been teaching myself for a couple years," smiled Ryan fiddling with a piece of paper.
"You dance, sing, act compose, choreograph, play piano. Is there anything else you can?" asked Kelsi
"I play guitar, baseball and make origami," said Ryan "For you m'lady," he added as he presented her with a paper daffodil.
"Thank," smiled Kelsi tucking it into the piano stand.
After tinkering around on the piano for another twenty minutes Ryan and Kelsi have a finished song, lyrics and all.
Ryan takes a deep breath. "Kelsi I have a motivate for wanting to hang out with you," he confessed
"Do tell," responded Kelsi
"I really like you Kels," he whispered
Kelsi's mouth drops open.
"I really like you too," she confessed in a whisper.
"Really?" asked Ryan "Cuz I thought you were with Jason,"
"He helped me shoot the basket last year but I've never dated him" she explained "If I actually confessed I thought you might be gay," Kelsi added in a giggle.
"I've had comments like that a lot of people think I am. My dad even asked me once but no I am straight and I like you," he said
There's silence for a few minutes.
"Would you of ever confessed?" asked Ryan "If I hadn't," he added
"Probably not I'm not very forward about these things," sighed Kelsi
"So do you wanna give this a go?" asked Ryan
"What?" asked Kelsi
"Us?" asked Ryan
"I'd really like that," smiled Kelsi "Just to be clear," she added "I've never done this. You know dated someone, had a boyfriend, dates or been kissed,"
"I've kissed a couple girls I've never had a girlfriend but I know what they do in the movies and I know how I'd want to be treated," said Ryan
"So," said Kelsi
"So Kelsi Nelson will you be my girlfriend and honour me by saying yes to our first date?" asked Ryan
"I'd love to," grinned Kelsi "Too both," she added
"That's great," grinned Ryan leaning in.
Kelsi took in a deep breath and leant in also her hands shaking. Ryan pulled back and took her hands in his.
"Don't over think it, don't be nervous. Just go with it," he whispered
Kelsi nodded.
Ryan leaned in again as did Kelsi.
Their lips brushed against each other before moulding together and the sound of clicking heels snapped them out of it.
"Sharpay," whispered Ryan
Kelsi stood up and grabbed their papers together before they left out of the door that lead outside seconds before Sharpay entered the room.
"Hmm could of sworn Kelsi was in here," mused Sharpay as she wandered round looking for Gabriella and Troy's duet. Unsuccessful in her search she left the room not noticing the breeze from the slightly open door.
"So Mr Evans our first date," mused Kelsi
"Here," said Ryan
"Here?" asked Kelsi "I have to start work again at 5," she said
"I know, I know," said Ryan "It's only 4 we have 45 minutes," he reassured her
"Okay lead the way," smiled Kelsi
"We're having a picnic on the golf course. I okayed it with Mr Fulton so you wouldn't get a strike against your job," Ryan explained
"Thanks," smiled Kelsi
"So shall we?" asked Ryan offering Kelsi his arm
"We shall," smiled Kelsi as she slipped her arm though his.
The view on the golf course was truly magnificent. Red rocks rose up all above them and they could see the club from where they were.
Ryan had the picnic blanket situated by little lake in the middle of the golf course and it held a delicious spread.
"Hey Ryan," said Kelsi
"Yeah," smiled Ryan looking up from his chicken drumstick
"You might now this how do I go about asking Fulton if I can have a room here for a week?" asked Kelsi
"All junior staff who work here can have there own room unless they can get to and from there own home. Unless they'd rather stay in the resort to save money of fuel and stuff. Why'd you ask?" explained Ryan
"Mum and dad sprung on me that they going away next week, for the week. And I don't feel comfortable staying on my own," said Kelsi
"I'll speak to Fulton for you," smiled Ryan
"Thanks," smiled Kelsi
"Speaking of Fulton we'd better get you back for you job," said Ryan standing to start packing the picnic away.
"This as been really lovely," smiled Kelsi
"So does that mean you'll go out with me again?" asked Ryan
"Well I've already agreed to be your girlfriend I'm pretty stuck now," laughed Kelsi "But I'd love to," she smiled as she stood to help Ryan.
Moments later they were walking back across the golf course hand in hand with the picnic basket swinging from Ryan's other hand.
