A/N: Who's ready for the Rydellington to happen? :3
(I had to scrap it over again)
(Rydel's POV)
We walk out of the school and head over to my car.
"So which coffee place are we going to?" I ask.
"Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could go a movie day. We rent movies, go get pizza or whatever you feel like eating, and do a movie marathon type of thing." He suggests with a grin.
"Sounds fun, let's go." I smile.
"I'll drive if that's okay." I nod and hand him the keys.
He stops by a blockbusters and we picked up Godzilla, PacificRim, Captain America, Warm Bodies, and The Avengers.
Afterwards, we stopped quickly by the Chinese take out place and then head back to my house.
(A/N: Sorry if this little part is rush and/or boring I'm kind of writing this before dance class P.S. There are really preppy girls here and I feel like I don't belong here XD)
"so what movie do you feel like watching first?" He asks, setting the disks and food on the little coffee table before going into the kitchen to get the bowls and the forks.
"How about Captain America?" I pull the disk out from under the others.
"perfect." He shouts from the other room.
I out the dvd in and sit back down. Moments later, as the movie begins, Ell sits next to me handin me a bowl and fork.
"Thanks."
We get our different types of food and it collects in our bowls.
"Hey guys.." We hear Rose from behind us.
"Hi." We both greet back.
"Whatcha guys doing here?"
"Oh we decided to hang our and watch movies instead of doing the whole coffee thing." I explain as Ell chuckles slightly.
"Oh well I don't wanna intrude on your little date." She teases. My cheeks turn a slight shade of red as I look down.
"Yeah, you should probably be getting ready for your date with Ross or something." Ratliff changes subjects.
"Oh I'm done. I'm bored now so I'm gonna go watch a movie in the other room." She leaves.
"I'm sorry about her, she likes to do that."
"It's cool, don't sweat it." He brushes it off and smiles a heart warming smile.
"So, I didn't know you lived with Rose." He turns to face me.
"Oh yeah, it's kinda hard to explain." He adjusts himself on the couch to be more comfortable and waits for me to continue.
"Well, when I came to Colorado, I remembered Rose. She was my best friend since we were little and when my family moved she had given me her house number, so I gave her number a call and hoped it would work. Her parents actually answered and gave me her current number to call so I did, I told her about me leaving California and being in Colorado and so she offered for me to stay with her as long as I felt like. After a while Riley joined us and Things started getting hard. Rose got me a job where I worked as the music teacher. And we just fast forward to where we are now." I explain the long story.
"That's nice of her." He comments.
"Yeah, I'm so grateful for her." I smile.
DING DONG!
"That must be Ross." I pause the movie and turn the screen off. We rush to a different room and hide so Ross doesn't know we were here.
"Why are we hiding?" Ellington whispers.
"Because Rose is only supposed to be home and it would be kinda strange if we were just here." I whisper back.
"What about your car? Isn't that gonna give something away?" I questions.
"I hope not." I let out a small laugh.
After the door closes and we hear it lock we finally go back to our movie.
In the middle of Warm Bodies I start to feel tired. I try to keep my eyes open but my eyelids get heavy and a soon as my eyes shut I my head falls into something soft and warm.
I hear a quick low chuckle before I completely zone out.
When I wake back up I'm cuddled into something warm and comfortable. Not wanting to move too much, I look up and see Ratliff peacefully sleeping with his arm around me as if to protect me from falling even though I'm in between him and the back of the couch.
I look around the room a little bit and realize that everything is dark, not even the tv is turned on.
'It must be late' I think to myself and shift slightly so I won't wake Ell up.
I soon figure out that we're covered by a blanket and the room is clean.
'Did he do this?' I wonder. I shrug it off. I shift back to how I was when I woke up and closed my eyes. 'I'll ask him later.'
I feel someone tap me on the shoulder a few minute later.
I wake up to a almost pitch black room. 'I must have slept longer than I thought.'
"Hey, wake up." I hear a familiar voice whisper. It turns out to be Rose who must have just came back because she was still in her date clothes and her hair was damp.
"Hm?" I yawn.
"You should probably go and pick up Riley, it's late and she probably misses you." I nod and get up to stretch. Soon hear someone shift around next to me.
"Hey, what's going on?" I hear Ratliff ask in a low groggy voice. I look over and see him with messy hair and him rubbing his eyes.
'He definitely looks hot when he's half asleep still.'
"you two fell asleep." Rose smirks.
"I guess we did." Ellington laughs.
"Well I'm gonna go change and head to bed, night guys." She starts heading up the stairs.
"C'mon I've gotta get you back and pick up Riley." I grab the keys off of the counter and wait for him by the door.
"I thought Rose already picked her up?" I shake my head.
"I offered earlier to go pick her up instead." I lie. It's getting easier to lie even though it still feels horrible to lie.
"Alright well let's go." He shrugs and opens the door for me along with the car door.
"Thank you." I smile both times.
Once we get there, we head up and I knock on the door a few times.
"Hey." Riker greets is and steps aside to let us in.
"Hi, sorry we came back late, how was she?" I ask asks, coming into the living room.
"She was great." Rocky answers, getting up carefully with Riley in his arms.
"That's good to hear." I pick up Riley's backpack and book off of the floor.
"Here I can take her." I adjusts the items in her arm so I can sort of carry Riley.
"Delly, you look like you have your hands full, let me take her." Ratliff offers. I thank him and Rocky hands Riley to him. After years of doing everything on my own, it's nice to have Ellington around.
'He would be a good dad.' I think before trying to brush it out of my thoughts.
"Well thank you guys again for taking care of her. I appreciate it so much." I hug Riker first and then Rocky.
"Tell him soon, she doesn't want to play this game anymore." He mumbles to me while we hug.
I let go. I can't help but look down, ashamed that this has gone as far as it has. I really need to tell him soon and I will, just not now. I nod once before changing back to a happy bubbly Rydel.
"Well goodnight guys." I wave as Ell and I exit to the car.
"Thank you for carrying her. I could've gotten it but it was amazing of you to help me." I thank him once again after he gets Riley in the car with her seatbelt fastened.
"Anything for you Rydel." He laughs a little.
"Well I should probably get her to bed and myself for school tomorrow." He scrunches his face in discust.
"It's almost Friday, just hang in there." I let out a laugh.
Alright, goodnight Rydel." I open the driver side door.
"Goodnight Ell." Just before I get into the car, he kisses me in the cheek. He steps back so I can drive off.
I head back home and sit in the car for a little while. I touch my cheek where he had placed the kiss and felt butterflies in my stomach again.
'I haven't felt butterflies since a long time ago.' I smile to myself.
A/N: I tried to make this chapter cute, I have had writers block or the longest time so last night I finally got back into my writing.
Next chapter you'll find the ending are pretty much the same but that's because I took it for the next chapter because it was like 1am and I was lazy so I'm sorry.
I had school today so I'm like super tired so I'm sorry if this sucks. Oh, and to those who just started school today, good luck and hope you have fun!
Those of you who started last week, hang in there and I hope you have fun at school too.
I started last week and they're being super tough especially my English Honors class so I've been busy and just things are crazy.
Good news though, I'm going to an R5 concert in September like a week after my birthday so if you guys are going too then maybe I'll see you there. :)
Alright peace out!
