Chapter Eight
It was finally summer, and everyone was happy. John and Harriet were staying in Aruba for two months. Diana, Meagan, and Scott, were having an amazing time together too. They went to the beach, the pool, and anywhere that was fun.
One night, it was raining hard in Manhattan. Camp Livingston was closed for the day. They were bored so they baked chocolate chip cookies that melted in their mouths, and got all messy, but they just laughed, with milk coming out of their noses, which made then laugh harder. That night, Meagan decided to go to bed early. That left Scott and Diana alone to do nothing; it was a little awkward at first.
"How about we watch a movie?" Scott suggested.
"Sounds good, but it should be kind of short," Diana, said looking at the clock, "It's already eleven o'clock. Do you have The Notebook?"
"Yea, it's my mom's favorite movie. We could watch it if you want." Scott would do anything if it meant more time to spend with her.
"Okay, we could watch in my room, but don't laugh if I cry."
"I won't as long as you don't laugh if I fall asleep when it gets boring."
"Deal." Diana smiled and Scott put the DVD in.
They both watched for the first fifteen minutes, and then they both were getting tired. Scott's eyes started closing, and once he smelled the sheets – they smelled like Diana- he fell into a deep sleep. Diana tried to wake him up, but her attempts were futile. She started getting tired too, so she turned off the T.V. and fell asleep lying on Scott's chest, and closing her eyes to the comforting sounds of Scott's breathing.
The next morning Meagan came to wake up Diana, and was surprised to see Scott in Diana's room. Meagan did not want to wake them up, so she decided to set an alarm on Diana's phone. When she saw her background, she smiled. Looking at that picture and looking at them now, was like being in a parallel universe. They looked so cute together, so she took a picture with Diana's phone, set it as her new wallpaper, and changed her banner to GOOD TIMES, and then she left the room, and let them wake up on their own.
Scott opened his eyes, and felt something heavy on top of him. He stuck his hand out and felt someone's hair. He sat up and saw that he had fallen asleep in Diana's room. He smiled because she fell asleep on top of him, and it felt so good. Like it was meant to be. He did not care how long it took Diana to wake up, because he liked this position, and she looked so peaceful when she was asleep. She started to drool and Scott laughed quietly, but he still woke her up.
"What What?" Diana asked confused, she turned to see Scott. "Did I fall asleep like this."
"Yes." Scott smiled, "But its okay, I was comfortable."
"Oh, Okay, but did I drool?" Diana asked blushing because of how cute Scott looked, but he just thought it was because she was embarrassed.
"Yea, you did, but its fine, I'm happy we fell asleep like this." Scott said wishing he could take it back, until he heard what Diana said.
"Me too. I have to tell you something though, and you have to promise not to get mad. Okay Scott."
"Okay," Scott said anxious to hear what she wanted to say, "shoot."
"I think that-"
"Breakfast!" Mrs. Livingston yelled.
"What, Di?" Scott asked, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Oh never mind." Diana said with a shrug.
"No," Scott said shaking his head, "We're not going to eat until you tell me what you were going to say, and I swear I won't be mad."
"Okay, what I was a bout to say was that I think that I-"
"Scott, Diana! Do you want breakfast or not!" Scott's mother screamed.
"Coming." They both replied.
"Wait, Di, just say it already." Scott said looking her straight in the eye.
"Okay, I confess. Scott I think I am in love with you. Not think I know."
"Are you kidding?" Scott asked incredulously.
"You swore you wouldn't get mad, but, I just had to say it." Diana said sheepishly.
"Mad!" Scott said hugging her so tight, and he did not want to let go, those were the exact words he wanted to hear from her, but thought he never would. "How could I be mad, when I'm crazy about you Di, I love you too. Not like a brother. No, head over heels in love with you!" Scott said as he kissed her on the lips. He was that excited. He let go of her and they just smiled at each other. They were so happy to finally be together, and with the truth out in the open, nothing could stop them.
They were still smiling when they went down for breakfast. They didn't go down together, so that it wouldn't make anyone else suspicious. Scott came down first, and when Meagan saw his face, she knew something was up.
"What's got you in such a perky mood?" Meagan said pinching her brother's cheek.
"Ouch! Meg, cut it out. And I am not in a perky mood." Scott said mouthing the words 'don't say a word to mom.' He knew that she saw them because Diana's phone started beeping and they saw the picture.
"Okay, Scott, relax! I'm so happy for you." Meagan said putting a spoonful of Frosted Flakes in her mouth. She nearly choked on her cereal when she saw Diana come down. Her face was literally glowing, and Meagan swore to herself that if she turned off all the lights you could spot Diana from outer space.
"Good morning Meg," Diana said sitting down and then smiling when she said, "Scott can you please pass the Fruity Pebbles?"
"Sure." As he passed her the box, there hands touched and they both felt a tingle, they stayed like that for about a minute, and Mr. Livingston sat down at the table next to his son.
"Scott, are you going to give her the cereal or not?" he said eyeing Scott and Diana suspiciously.
"What? Oh yeah, here Di, sorry I guess I just spaced out." Scott said coming up with the best excuse he could think of.
"It's fine." Diana said smiling, which caused Scott to turn bright red.
"Son, are you okay, you look like your getting an allergic reaction to something." Mr. Livingston asked concerned.
"I'm fine dad." Scott answered.
"Yeah he's just blushing 'cause he's sitting next to the love of his life." Meagan mumbled to herself, but loud enough for Diana to hear, so she nudged her with her knee, and whispered back, "Meg, be quiet, I know you're just dying of happiness inside."
"You're right Di, the two people who I love the most, love each other, what more could I ask for?"
"Nothing." Diana said now talking about herself too, "You can't ask for anything else, because nothing could be better."
After breakfast, they went horseback riding. They went every summer, but it was Diana's first time going, and she was a little afraid at first.
"Scott, I'm scared." Diana admitted.
"Di, you'll be fine, I'll be right next to you."
"Promise?" Diana said sticking out her pinky.
"I Promise." He said doing their traditional pinky promise, and then smiling lovingly at each other.
