*Karma's POV*
Be cool, Karma, it's not like this super hot chick is here to have sex with you or something. You are just going to hang out and watch a movie, totally normal, I ramble internally as I stare at Amy wandering around my room and taking everything in.
"I really like your room; it's completely different to the rest of the house. It's so... Karma," Amy says as she finally stops inspecting my room and sits down at the end of my bed. My breath catches a little; did she really just use my name as a describing word? That's a good thing right? Be cool, Karma.
"Thanks, my parents hate how... alternative it is, but they respect my choices. They definitely wouldn't include it in a grand tour though," I respond and busy myself with setting up the TV and putting the movie on.
"Holy Crap," Amy says suddenly and I spin to face her.
"What? What's wrong?" I ask in a worried voice.
"We forgot the snacks," Amy replies in a horrified voice and I audibly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh thank God, I thought something was actually wrong," Judging from Amy's face I can see she believes that the lack of snackage is indeed very wrong.
"Don't worry, I got it covered," I reply and walk over to open up my closet door. Upon opening it I had to scramble to catch my guitar before it fell over but once it was safely leaning against the wall I pushed my clothes apart and reveal my stash. Amy's eyes widen and she almost falls over herself in an attempt to get to my closet. I can't help but laugh as she runs her hands over the treasure trove; I push past her gently and grab a few things before laying them out on the bed. Oreos, M&Ms, Milk Duds, Twizzlers, Doritos, Skittles and even a tub of chocolate icing lay upon my colourful quilt and I realise what I am missing.
"I'll go grab something to drink, back in a sec," I say and Amy just nods and absently minded waves her hand. By the time I getting back Amy is tucked under the covers munching away on M&Ms, I can't help but smile as she tries to hide the bag behind her back and gives me an innocent smile, made all the better by the smudges of chocolate around her lips. By the time the snack consuming has slowed down to a steady pace and a few dumb teenagers have been murdered Amy and I lay next to each other under the covers. There is a respectable gap between us but every time there is a jump scare in the movie the gap slowly gets smaller. After a while a scene comes on and I get freaked out; like a pansy I pull the covers over my eyes and grip onto Amy in fear. I feel her tense at first but she quickly relaxes and lifts the blanket up a little in order to whisper to me in my hidey hole under the covers, "It's okay scaredy cat, the bad guy is gone."
"Thank God," I mumble as I poke my head back out. The first thing I see on the screen is a close-up of the killer staring straight into the camera. I let out a yelp and duck my head back under the covers for protection, Amy bursts out in laughter and I look up at her with a sulky pout.
"You said he was gone you Meany," I grumble and whack her lightly on the belly.
"I lied," Amy responds before laughing again. After she has stopped laughing I realise that I hadn't pulled my hand away and it lay resting on the muscles of Amy's flat stomach, she didn't seem to mind though and I subtly snuggled closer to her before returning my attention back to the movie.
*Amy's POV*
This girl was really something, first there was the delight of discovering her sugary stash, and then there were the little noises she made every time she was scared. I can't help but notice every time she 'subtly' snuggles closer to me, and I'd be lying if I said the wounded puppy expression she made when I scared her wasn't Goddamn adorable. Somehow over the course of the movie her hand had moved from its spot on my stomach to underneath my shirt tracing gentle patterns on my bare skin. She seemed to be unconsciously doing it and I found that I really didn't mind. Her movements caused me to shiver every now and then and she must have thought I was cold because she nestled closer to my body and pulled the blanket tighter around us.
The movie began to come to an end and the bloodied and bruised teenagers that had survived the massacre asked the clichéd question, do you think it's really over? Karma looked up at me and I found myself looking at her lips, I noticed the lips begin to move and I quickly tuned in to what they were saying.
"You know Amy, despite my brother's faults, he really chose a good one this time," She says softly.
Her brother, Liam; my boyfriend. Crap, this is Karma, my boyfriend's sister. What the hell am I doing?
As her words sink in sit up with a start, "Um, I should probably be going," I mumble attempting to not sound panicked and rush to get out of the bed. In my haste my foot gets tangled in the sheets and I tumble to the floor.
Karma jumps up confused at my sudden outburst and asks in a worried voice, "Oh my God, Amy, are you okay?"
Before she can move to help me up I untangle myself and snag my boots from beside the door with a hasty, "Yeah, I'm fine. I just really need to go".
Karma's voice almost sounds hurt as she replies, "Yeah sure, okay,"
Without turning back to look at her face, pretty damn convinced that it will have that puppy dog pout, I hurry out the door and run straight into the chest of my boyfriend. Liam's reaches out to steady me and asks with a voice full of confusion, "Amy? What are you doing here?"
Before I have a chance to speak Karma exits the room behind me and speaks to her brother, "Amy came over earlier to surprise you but you were out with your friends. Since I had nothing better to do I figured I'd ask if she wanted to hangout and watch a movie with me."
The lie comes easily as she covers for me and I let out an internal sigh of relief when Liam appears to buy it, "Oh okay, cool."
Liam fixes his brown eyed gaze at me and I try to sound as collected as possible, "Yeah, I should probably go though"
I lean up and give Liam a quick kiss on the lips, I swear Karma flinches beside me but I shrug it off as an act of my overactive imagination. Stepping around him I begin make my way out of the huge house, behind me Liam calls out, "Did you want me to give you a ride home?"
I turn around but continue to walk as I call back, "Nah, its fine. I'm just gonna walk home,"
Before I turn back around I see Liam and Karma share a confused look before parting ways and returning to their respective rooms.
As I'm walking home my mind is full of memories of today and I can't help but think to myself, I am so screwed.
