I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
Chrissy's POV:
I've been up in my room cuddling with Ryder because we were looking at old photos I had in my room
"Aww you look so cute" Ryder said pointing to a picture of me with my cousin Marco
"What happened to me?" I asked myself
"You got beautiful" he said giving me a kiss until he broke apart, grabbed my hand and we walked into the kitchen.
"Did you say dinner?" Ryder asked
"No" Dad said
"Could you say dinner?" Ryder asked
"Dad, please I'm hungry" I said
"No" dad said
"Man you sound pissed" I said sitting on the seat at the bench when Lennox came in to the kitchen.
"But I will say this, your aunt could have put me up for this really great job but she didn't" dad said.
"Why Mel?" I asked
"Yeah what's up with that Aunt Mel?" Lennox asked
"What? It's a part time thingy and worse it'll take your tutor away from you" Mel said
"Oh no, my hard ass teacher will be in my face a whole lot less boo-freakin-hoo" Ryder said sarcastically grabbing a box of cereal from the cupboard.
"Kid's on board" dad said
"Why are you standing in Dad's way?" I asked
"Fine I'll get you the interview" Mel said
"Thank you guys, nice to know you have my back" Dad said
"Sure, You need a job that gets you back in the position you deserve" I said making Lennox nod as Ryder stood behind me
"Totally agree. But can you manage some dinner?" Ryder asked.
Dad went to the interview for the job with Mel, Lennox was with me on the couch as we watched Teen Wolf
"So I'm kissing Archer Addams" Lennox said as we still focused on Stiles and Scott in the Motel episode of Season 3
"Really?" I asked
"Yep" she said
"For the play?" I asked
"Yep" she repeated.
So I paused it
"Is Zander jealous?" I asked looking at her after I paused it
"No and I thought he would be" she said frowning
"How about I come with you to your rehearsal and record it to show Zander" I said
"Really? That'll work?" She asked starting to smile
"Well it might, hopefully once I show him the recording he might be pissed. But it's Zander" I said.
"Yeah fair point. He was saying how he was going to the beach where we went on our first date" she told me
"Really? What the 2 of you?" I asked
"No, just him… to draw rocks" she said frowning again
"Wow, you have an interesting boyfriend" I mumbled as I hit play again.
"You're boyfriend's Ryder. You could have dated Brad if you weren't with Ryder" she said
"Hey! Ryder is amazing and the best boyfriend. At least he stays with me and doesn't go to the location of our first date to draw it" I said and she laughed.
"But Brad is hot" Lennox said
"I haven't seen him since he was here when Ry got suspended" I said
"Let's text Becky and see if she and Brad wanna stay the night tomorrow?" Lennox said
"Yeah but let's wait for dad and Mel to come back. And this way Ryder won't miss school as much because he'll have his 3 best friends" I said
"3? Don't you mean 2?" Lennox asked
"No apparently I'm his best friend and his girlfriend" I said and we carried on watching Teen Wolf.
The next day I was with Lennox in the drama room for her rehearsal with Archer Addams, Brad and Becky were with us too
"So, you're recording this and showing Zander?" Becky asked
"Beckster, Zander is a-" Brad said about to insult him but Becky and I looked at him while Lennox prepared for the scene.
"-Creative guy, that needs to be more in the relationship" Brad said
"Well he seems like he's into the relationship but not like Ryder is" Becky said.
"Yeah, if I was Lennox and Ryder was Zander and I told him I was kissing Archer or you; Brad he would get a little jealous but not Zander" I said
"Alright, I'm ready" Lennox said as I hit record and she began her dialogue
"Oh Alejandro, I shouldn't be here. You shouldn't be here" Lennox said walking towards the drama teacher and Brad, Becky and I.
"No stay. Every moment apart from you is a thousand years, every step away from you is a thousand miles. Kiss me" Archer said in his character and the drama teacher was mouthing the words as they each spoke
"No, my father is in the carriage house and will mostly see us" Lennox said
"I don't care I must have your lips" Archer said as he (still in his character) kisses Lennox and I'm still recording but I look at Becky who looks at me and we've both got a smirk on our face.
We both look at Brad who's disgusted. I stopped recording and looked at Brad
"Dude you've probably done this to all the girls you've kissed" Becky said
"I've only had one girlfriend, Beckster" Brad said but Becky and I just said 'mmmhmm' really 'That's So Raven' like.
We were in our own conversation we didn't notice the teacher got up, sat back down and called action and Lennox just jumped back into the kiss
"The scene Lennox, I meant the whole scene" she said
"Oh of course. Yes words, words are very good too" Lennox said a bit embarrassed or awkward.
Mel and dad said it was alright for Becky and Brad to stay the night at ours but Brad is in Ryder's room and Becky and I were bunking in with Lennox. We were at home with Brad and Becky at the table with Ryder and I (Brad brought him some homework from school that they share a class with)
"Look what I had flown in just for Joe" Mel said getting out 3 boxes of pizza from mine and dad's favourite pizza place from Jersey (when he and I visited Grandma we would go there, mum wouldn't even come with us)
"Miona's Famous!" I said happily and Ryder chuckled at me
"From Jersey City" Ryder said as he gets up and stands next to his aunt
"So we can order pizza from another state but I can't new sneakers… or 2 plane tickets" he said
"What 2 plane tickets?" I asked but I was ignored.
"It's his favourite, a gift like this clearly says-"Mel said
"I should have told you about the job" I said
"And I'm happy you got the job" Mel finished
"Putting a lot of pressure on a pizza" Brad said.
Becky and I just chuckled at how her brother and my boyfriend are similar but Brad probably meant it sarcastically.
"Yeah but this way I won't actually have to apologise" Mel said holding up a pizza box
"Don't worry Chrissy, I got one for you too" Mel sad handing me a pizza box
"Thank Mel" I said giving her a hug
"It's ok" she said chuckling a little as Ryder and I sat back down and I opened the pizza box.
"It smells so good" I said dreamily
"Yeah it does" Brad said
"And this is from Jersey?" Becky asked
"Yep" I said
"Well babe you eat this pizza by yourself and I'll order 2 large ones" Ryder said
"Why 2? You guys could eat a whole box" I said
"Yeah but in case you want some as well" Ryder said kissing my cheek as he dialled the number.
"Your boyfriend is sooo sweet" Becky said
"I know" I said smiling as I took a bite outta my pizza and we carried on studying when Lennox entered the kitchen.
"Hey Lennox" Mel said as Nex dropped her bag
"Lennox? Everything OK?" Mel asked and Lennox just opened and closed the fridge
"Nothing happened. It was just a rehearsal. Who's to say it means anything? Brad, Becky and Chrissy were there. Can we just drop it?" Lennox said taking her bottle of water and sitting next to me.
"Your aunt just asked if everything was ok" Becky said in her nice, gentle voice
"Yeah you could've said you were fine" I said with a mouthful of pizza. I know… I'm such a lady
"Defiantly one of the guys" Lennox said and dad came into the kitchen
"Hey dad" I said
"Hey Chrissy honey. Oh uh I'll take you to the tattoo shop tomorrow after work OK?" dad said
"Ok dad" I said.
"Miss Badass" Brad said
"You're getting a tattoo? And your dad's allowing this?" Becky asked
"Well Lennox and I got one drawn on us and my dad flipped his s**t. I said that if that's how he's going to react to a drawn on one, can't wait to see my real one. Then he came up to my room-" I said but stopped because Lennox spoke
"Which was blasting Green Day" she pointed out
"Yeah and he said that in a month from then he'll take me to a tattoo place and get a real one" I said.
"Maybe I should get one too. I'll come with you" Brad said but Becky slapped his arm gently as Ryder then looked at his sister
"So… there's nothing that didn't happen? Did it not happen with Archer Adams?" Ryder asked
"Oh shut up you're not even at school" Lennox said
"I read the play it's pretty hot. You know a lot of romances start on set because of all them um rehearsing" Ryder said and Becky, Brad and I shared a look… and a smirk.
"That's what happened with Brad and Angelina" Ryder said
"You know nothing… and Chris will never tell you" Lennox said while I'm still eating
"I know Zander's about to find out his Jennifer Aniston" Ryder said
"Alright dude, you've got to get out of the house. Your man cred is dropping" Brad said making Becky and I nod while Lennox kept glaring at him.
"Alright you know what, let's go play video games. Boost that man cred" Brad said to Ryder and they disappeared until the pizza arrived.
I went downstairs to get the pizza because I heard the doorbell
"I'll be back Becky" I said and when I was downstairs I opened the door and grabbed the pizza but Ryder and Lennox were there… in the kitchen.
"Thank you" I said to go the pizza guy when I grabbed the pizza and handed him the money as he left. I walked back into the kitchen and put the pizza down as it was burning my hand
"Alright, what I'm doing with Archer is acting that looks like kissing but when I kiss Zander that means something because he's the boy I truly care about" Lennox said while Ryder sat down.
"What's this about?" I asked sitting on Ryder's lap
"So in the play is you're acting going to be more believable then it is right now?" Ryder said resting his head on my shoulder
"The pizza's here babe" I said
"Oh ok let's go" Ryder said as we took the pizza and headed upstairs to where Becky and Brad were.
The next day dad and I had a 'father-daughter day' we went shopping and now we are at the tattoo shop
"Alright have you decided what you want?" dad asked as we entered the store
"Yeah I want Always from Harry Potter but with your name, Marco, Grandma, Aunt Theresa and Ryder under it" I said.
"Ryder?" Dad asked
"Yeah" I said smiling
"You really love him don't you?" Dad asked
"I love him like you loved mum. And I don't care if it's stupid for me to have Ryder tattooed on me. I want to" I said and dad smiled.
"Let's get it done" dad said
"When I get it done, can you hold my hand?" I asked
"Of course" Dad said and he held my hand the entire time and I am so happy I have my dad.
After the tattoo (which is on the top of my arm near my shoulder and hurt like a bitch) I was at home and cuddled with Ryder on his bed when Mel called us down
"Does it still hurt?" Ryder asked I had to switch into a tank top so it wouldn't hit my tattoo.
"A little" I said as Ryder sat on the arm and pulled me in between his legs, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on the other shoulder as we watched a news report on Mel and dad and how they caught some d-bag that Mel works for stealing money but the news reporter made it seem as it was Mel with a little help from dad who they called a 'disgraced financial wizard' which Ryder, Lennox and I assured him was good and now he's got no job again and stuck being a nanny. Mel even faked interest which made dad look at her with a clenched jaw
"Knock that off" dad said.
Hope you enjoy Chapter 3!
