ChapterFour: Sleepover
I heard Erik's voice and footsteps. Erik walked into my room wearing worn out jeans and a dark green t-shirt. Now I felt under dressed. I was wearing a blue tanktop and a pair of white short-shorts. My hair was in a messy bun. I could see Rima standing in the hallway trying to fix her hair.
"Hey Erik" I gave a small wave.
"Whats goin' on, Lacy" he greeted me and sat next to me leaning against my bed. You could see him better from this view. His facial features; his angled cheekbones, his lips curved into an easy smile, his steel gray eyes...staring right at me.
"Sorry" I apologized.
"It's cool" he laughed slightly.
"How'd you get here so fast?" Rima, who'd fixed her hair, sat down in front of us.
"I live in this neighborhood. Not on this street, the next one down." He leaned forward, grabbing a piece of popcorn. Rima's eyes wandered to his arms watching them flex. She was almost hyperventilating.
I couldn't help but laugh "Nice, Rima."
Erik had that look on his face amused, yet confused. "What's so funny?"
"It's nothing, Erik." Rima covered.
He thought a second, then said "Okay", shrugging.
By this time i composed myself, Rima had put her legs in my lap. Erik looked at us, eyebrows raised. "Sorry" I apologized again.
"No worries," he shook his head, his hair swinging slightly "What were you doin before I called?"
"Talking about guys" Rima answered truthfully.
"Interesting..." He laughed slightly
"It was" I stuffed some popcorn in my mouth "so, who do you like Erik?" I turned to face him.
"Haven't really been lookin' plus, why would I tell a couple of girls who I like?" he took a sip of my water, I reached for it and he handed it to me.
"Hmmm tough...well considering we're girls we could help you get a girl." I handed my water bottle to Rima, who immediately drank almost half of it. She took her legs off mine and sat Indian style.
"Are girls' sleepovers always this boring?" Erik looked at RIma, then looked at me.
"No, but girls like to talk about guys and you're a guy so...yeah..." I stretched my legs out crossing my ankles then leaning back onto my hands.
