Sarah's POV
As we got closer to the Murtaugh house I had butterflies in my stomach. I mean this was a date! Come on the two of us in the house alone and when I like him?! He doesn't like me I don't think but still!! What am I going to do! Calm down Sarah! You and Elliot are good friends and I'm sure that this is just two friends hanging out! I breathed slowly in and out, knowing Charlie was looking at me funny but really I was too worked up to care. All to soon we arrived at the Murtaugh house, if you could call it that it was the size of a mansion!! I got out of the car as Anne was coming out the front door. She gave me a hug as she passed which I returned she was like family to me sometimes.
"Elliots in the games room" she said to me. I nodded my thanks then proceeded to the games room where Elliot was supposed to be. He was sitting playing the X-Box checking his watch every now and again. He hadn't seen me so I walked up behind him.
"Hey El, what ya playing?" I asked him.
Elliot jumped out of his clothes nearly!! It was soo funy. His head whipped round to face me.
"Sarah?" he asked.
"Nope I'm the freakin ghost of Tutankhamen come to eat your brain!" I laughed "Course it's me idiot!"
He started to laugh with me and patted the seat next to him. He was playing Need for Speed : Undercover. This was my favourite game!
I grabbed a controler and put it onto 2 player mode.
"Your going down Murtaugh!" I said to him.
"Oh yeah Baker?" Elliot retorted "Well prepare to eat my dust!"
After about and hour and a half of playing we decided we would watch a movie now so we headed to the mini theatre. To be honest it was the size of a real one!
"So what are we watching?" Elliot asked "Action, Thriller, Comedy, RomCom, Sad?" I gagged at the last two.
"Thriller, if you don't mind, well that's only if wikkle Ewiot wont get scared!" I teased him.
The last time we had watched a thriller Elliot got soo scared that he was actually clinging to me like there was no tomorrow.
"Thriller it is then and no I wont get scared!" he said back slightly defensive.
I just laughed at him then settled down to watch the movie. He sat next to me and pulled our chairs back to that we were reclined all the way back. I sighed and wriggled down to get comfy.
Elliot POV
I thought she wasn't going to come! But thank God she did and we to be honest she did beat me a lot at the X-Box but still the thriller joke was unnecessary. I have seen this movie like a hundred times before I don't even find it the least bit scary more funny.
"So what are we watching?" Sarah asked me.
"We are watching IT. You know Stephen King, clown that eats children?" I said. Her face paled and she looked like she was going to throw up.
"Yeah, can we watch something else please?" she asked in a small voice.
What was wrong with her? Did she not like the movie or something?
"Why?" I asked her "Are you scared or something? Cause I'll always let you hold my hand you know"
She let out a breathy giggle.
"No it's just I cant watch this movie" she answered vaguely.
I shook my head at her "Wrong answer Baker until you tell me why not this is the movie we are watching" I said waving the case in front of her.
"I'M COULROPHOBIC OKAY!" she shouted "I'm scared of fucking clowns now would you please change the DVD please!" I could see tears forming in her eyes and I quickly changed the disk to Nightmare on Elm Street.
"I'm sorry Sarah, I honestly didn't know. Is this better?" I said motioning to the screen where the title credits were rolling up.
She nodded and settled down again and because we were reclined she lay her head on my shoulder. SCORE!!! I knew she didn't like me like that but I could still try!
Sarah POV
I cant believe I told him that! Only me, my mom, my dad, Jake & Mike knew up until now. Its been one of my best kept secrets and I just told him! He didn't seem put off or anything about it so I just settled back down. I knew he only like me as a friend but that doesn't mean I couldn't try, right?
I lay my head on his shoulder, looking at him from the corner of my eye. He was smiling and he looked down at me and I swear it was like looking at the Cheshire Cat! He wrapped his arms round me so I snuggled in closer to him. We were kinda acting like a couple but that wouldn't happen, not with us anyway.
The rest of the night nothing of much importance happened. I went home when Charlie dropped Anne back off, but before I went Elliot pulled me in for a hug.
"I had loads of fun tonight" he said to me honesty filling his eyes. I grinned back at him.
"Me too, we should do this again sometime!" I answered back giving him a quick squeeze, wanting nothing more than to stay in those warm, loving arms forever, but knowing I couldn't then ran out to the car. I waved at Elliot as we drove away and smiled to myself. Tonight had been fun, and I had gotten a taster of what it would be like if we ever went out which we wouldn't. The smile slowly fell of my face. He just wasn't into me like that. To him I would be like a sister or a really close friend. The drive home with Charlie was silent and I could tell he was thinking about Anne. Why couldn't Elliot like me like that?
I shook my head to clear those thoughts. Soon we were home ad trying to get in as quietly as possible.
No luck however as Dad was sitting on the couch waiting for us. I mean come on it was only 8 o'clock!
I waved at him then went to make my way up to my room.
"I don't think so young lady, both of you sit!" he said, crap he was angry!!
"What is it dad?" I asked trying to sound calm.
"What is it Dad? What is it! The two of you just going off without telling anyone I was going crazy here!" he shouted. I shook my head.
"We told mom we were going out dad! Yeesh take a chill pill it's not like we're running away to join a convent or anything!" I said back to him.
Dads mouth was just opening and shutting like a fish. I took my chance to escape and ran up to my room. What a way to end the perfect night. Thank God I know how to talk my way out of situations otherwise I would be grounded, like, all the time!!
A/N: Hey! I was going to write more but I have to go for a shower and go out and stuff so yeah.
The whole Coulrophobic bit (Sp?) is true for me. I hate them =(. Anyways what did you think?? Please review!!!!
