CHAPTER 10: Fireball

Cece's POV

Aw.. It felt as if I was watching one of those korean dramas.

'Now can I come in and explain everything?' Gunther pleaded.

'Okay..' she smiled softly as she wiped her tears. She let him in closing the door behind him. I heard talking from the room but I couldn't hear clearly because it sounded all muffled.

I took a sip of my hot coco and stirred it a little to cool it down. A moment of silence echoed through the living room and made me think of how their lives are. They're parents are always out-of-town so they live alone. Kinda cool to have that much freedom but it sounded a little too lonely for me. I couldn't imagine myself all alone with Flynn. We'd burn the house down. Literally. I don't cook. And Flynn. He's nine. Nuff said.

Then I heard the door open and close again followed by a tap on my shoulder.

'Everything's fine?' I asked Gunther.

'Yup. Explained everything.' He sighed in relief.

'Well, that was fast,' I said impressively.

'I'm gonna go take a shower. I borrowed some clothes from Tinka so you can take a shower too if you'd like,' he said as he passed them to me.

'Oh okay.' I nodded. He turned around to walk to his room but I stopped him.

'Gunther?'

'Yeah?'

'Thank you,' I smiled.

'No problem my little red-head,' he winked at me before walking back to his room.

I think I just died.

Gunther's POV

Glad everything's cleared up. Seeing Tinka cry, I couldn't have felt more worse. Right now, she's the only family I got with my parents away for the year.

I turned on the heater and as water poured out from the shower head. I've never felt so refreshed. The warmth so was nice I fell asleep for a while forgetting about the guest. But then, Cece just popped in my mind.

'Oh shoot! Cece!' The shower head slipped out of my hands and dropped to the floor, hitting my feet.

'Shit!' I winced before quickly turned off the water tap and got out of the bathroom, drying my hair with my towel.

I went to the living room and peeked over the couch. She was already squeaky clean, waiting for me. Well, that was embarrassing.

'Hey Cece. Sorry I took so long. I kinda dozed off in the shower,' I scratched the back of my head as I sat down beside her.

'Oh it's fine! It's your house anyways,'she smiled.

'Wanna watch a movie? Or are you feeling sleepy already?'

'Sleepy? There is no such word in my dictionary. I'm a fireball remember?' She giggled, remembering the first time she met Deuce. That's what he used to call her.

'Scary movie?' Her face lit up.

'You betcha,' I smirked.

'Wanna invite Tinka to watch with us?'

'Sure thing,' I said.

I went over to her room and knocked on the door.

'Tinka? Are you still awake?' I knocked on the door again and slowly opened it, 'Cece and I are going to watch a scary movie and we thought we'd ask you to join u-,' I paused.

'Aw. She's already asleep,' I frowned, closing the door then walked back to the couch.

'More popcorn for us then!' She exclaimed, putting both her fists in the air.

I held the remote and pressed the play button.

Cece's POV

Everything got hazy the minute the movie started. Like Legit.

Gunther's POV

Yeah right. Fire ball. I looked at Cece fast asleep on the couch, hugging my blanket. I leaned closer to her as I watched her head turn to face the opposite side. I squeezed my way through lying down beside her, wrapping my arms around her to make sure she didn't fall. Sleeping on the couch never felt this comfortable.

Cece's POV

I saw light shining through my eyelashes as I slowly opened my eyes.

Only to find myself wrapped in Gunther's arms. My head and hands directly resting on his chest as I snuggled up to him like a pillow. My eyes shot wide open, trying to move him away before he could wake up but ehk. That wasn't possible. He was holding me to tight for me to get away. My heart started beating fast. This was the third time we were this close. Another moment to add in the book of memories. I didn't know whether I should have been happy or not.

I tried squirming to get out of his hold, slowly moving upwards. Next thing I knew, he held me tighter putting his leg over my waist like I was a body pillow.

'G-gunther?' I stuttered. His face was right in front of mine. He slowly opened his eyes a little.

'H-hi Cece,' he smiled sheepishly then went back to sleep. GUNTHER!? Ugh.

' Gunther, this is a little too-'

'Shhhh.. Cece I'm trying to sleep,' he dozed off.

'Gunther I'm trying to wake you up you pighead!' I hit his chest repeatedly.

'Okay Okay I'm awake!' His eyes opened wide and stared into mine, holding both my wrist.

'What time is it?' he asked.

'I would have checked it for you and tell you what time is it if you're weren't holding me so tight right now that I can't breathe !' I said, trying to get out of his hold again.

He looked at me, still not moving or letting me go.

'Can we stay here like this for a while?' he frowned. I paused.

'W-why?'

'Because you're cuddly,' he smirked.

'And you're a pervert,' I put on a fake-smiled.

'Let go Gunther,' I held both his shoulders to push him away but he held my waist tighter, securing his leg that was already over my waist. My hands slipped and it went wrapping around his neck.

I heard a gasp behind the couch.

'GUNTHER?! CECE! How dare you soil the innocence of the couch! Now I have to burn it and buy a new one. Unbelievable! Even if you guys are dating, doesn't mean you can make out whenever or wherever you want!' Tinka shouted.

Gunther was caught off guard that I manage to push him away with all my might, dropping from the couch to the floor.

'Ahh!' I shouted. I quickly got up like nothing happened and did a quick pose.

'Are you okay Cece?' Gunther looked up at me, trying not to laugh. I kept my head held up high and rolled my eyes at him.

'Bruised ego or Bruised butt?' he laughed.

'Both,' I frowned, rubbing my butt.

'Don't start a conversation without me! God you guys are jerks!' She stomped back to her room.

'Can I talk to her for a while to clear things up?' I sighed, asking Gunther.

'Depends on what you're going to say,' he looked at me.

'Why does it matter?'

'Because I've already explained to her. And if you say something else, there's gonna be a big problem,' he said.

'What did you exactly say to her?' I eyed at him suspiciously.

'Oh nothing. Just about the way I acted around her and stuff.. and that we're currently dating,' he mumbled at the last part.

'We're what?!' I raised my voice.

'I said-'

'Oh no I heard you,' I cracked my knuckles.

'Oh come on. We do seem like we have something going on. Don't you feel the chemistry?' he grinned as he ran behind the couch.

' Oh I'll give you some chemistry! You're a moron, boron!' I ran to the left making him follow in my footsteps. I tried running to the right but we were still at the same pace. There was no way I could catch him. Ahah. That was when I ran over the couch, leaped in the air, (you know, cause I'm ninja) and landed straight on him.

We both went down and I purposely used him as a cushion.

'OW!' he winced at the slight pain. Well, I hope it was slight pain.

'Gotcha,' I smirked as I grabbed the hem of shirt.

'And now what?' he looked bored.

Something felt familiar. Yup, You guessed it right. Instant flashback.

Author's note:(If you don't remember, this was in chapter 2)

'Here Glitter Glitter!' I called out as if he were a pet.

Then I heard a thump. I turned around to see Gunther hiding behind the corner of the lockers, with his head tilted the side watching me.
The minute our eyes locked he wanted to made a run for it. Only a few meters. Just a little. AHAH! I jumped with all my might towards Gunther knocking him down to the floor.

'Oww.. Wat the,' he looked at me and looked at the position we were in which I had no idea at that point.

'Gotcha,' I smirked. Both my legs were half wrapped around his sides locking him in. I held both his wrist down to floor giving me great access to punch the glitter out of him.

'Okay you got me. Now what?' he looked bored.

'Don't give me that face you big liar!'

'It's not a whole lie. It's half-true,' he said.

'How is it half true?' I looked at him funny.

'You're crushing on me,' he smirked.

'WHUTT?' I flinched and accidentally loosen my grip on him. Next thing I knew, he held my hair to one side and the other cupping my cheek, pulling me closer to him.

'But you're just too stubborn to admit it baybeeee...' he smiled. Our noses were touching.

I snapped back to reality.

'What?' he looked at me.

'N-nothing,' I climbed off him. This weird relationship Gunther and I have been starting to freak me out a little bit.

'What's wr- Ow,' he winced at the pain, rubbing his back. 'You slammed me down just like WWE,' he laughed. I ignored him, still thinking about the stupid flashback.

'Listen, Cece. I was just joking. I didn't say anything to Tinka about us dating. She just happens to catch in weird situations all the time and maybe it gave her the wrong idea. But I'm not bothered or anything,' he shrugged.

I looked at him just as the house phone went off. Gunther picked it up and a strange expression formed on his face.

'It's for you,' he passed it to me.

'H-hello?' I waited for the person on the other line to answer.

'Cece! Where have you been?' Why are you at Gunther's? I told you to sleepover Rocky's! You've got a whole lot of explaining to do young lady. I'm coming over in 10 minutes.'

The line went dead.

'And I have a whole lot of explanations to give you,' I gave a sarcastic smile as I put down the phone. Sigh.
