Summer's POV
It felt so amazing when Andrew was helping me bowl, when I could feel his breath tickle behind my ears my heart stopped. I was kind of excited for my birthday now that Andrew said he went shopping for me, that was so sweet of him, I mean I already knew he'd got at least 2 presents, he didn't even need to give me a present, it wouldn't have changed how much I loved him. I watched Andrew bowl his ball, he really knew how to bowl. He kept on getting strikes.
"Andrew are you sure you're not cheating?" I asked, I pulled myself closer to him, his body was warm even though the air conditioning was full blast almost infront of us. That air conditioner was almost making me freeze. Andrew rubbed my arms to warm me up, I smiled at him and reached my face up to kiss him. Andrew lifted me up from the ground, my legs were dangling in the air. Our lips connected, I wrapped my legs around Andrew's waist. I felt Andrew pull away from me, his jaw dropped, I turned to see where he was looking. Nan was standing in the doorway, you would think that there was steam coming out of her ears. What the hell was she doing here! I slowly unwrapped my legs from around Andrew and he put me back on the ground slowly. I held on to his hand, if Nan tried to drag me off, Andrew would be there too.
"Why's she here?" I whispered to Andrew, he slowly turned his eyes to me. I could hear Nan's stomps shaking the place. I started to shake, I was in for it now. Andrew put his arm around me, it worked to stop me shaking for a minute, but I started to shake again when Nan stopped with her finger pointed in Andrew's face.
"Nan don't" I snapped, Andrew was frozen where he was standing, he was scared of Nan too. I quickly pulled him away before Nan would start screaming in his ear.
"You're grounded Summer until Sunday" Nan said, she yanked on my arm. I pulled Andrew along with me, I could tell she wasn't impressed but oh well.
"For what? Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend? I mean if it was anyone else you wouldn't have minded" I snapped.
"Summer I will speak to you when we get home. I am going to do some shopping, but you have to go straight home, now. If you're not there when I get home you won't be able to go out on Sunday, and if Andrew is there when I get home, same thing" Nan said, I quickly walked off still holding Andrew's hand.
"She can't do that!" I said, we quickly walked through the shopping centre.
"Yeah I know! I'll like die without you! We'll take the shortcut back home" Andrew replied, he pulled me down a little side street. Nan was so mean. Andrew pushed open a gate and lead me through his backyard. We walked through the yard and into my house. Charlie wasn't there, maybe he was with Susan or something. We walked to my room and shut the door behind ourselves.
"I'll climb out the window once she's inside alright babe" Andrew said, I unlocked the window and opened it a little so that it would be easier for him to get out when he needed too. Atleast I will only have to spend one full day without Andrew, we could always chat on skype if we wanted too. I pulled Andrew closer to me, he smiled, the same smile that always manages to hypnotise me. Then he pulled me down onto the bed with him, I kissed him on the cheek, because we couldn't start doing anything now, we couldn't loose our guard in case Nan came back.
"Summer, I love you" Andrew said, I liked it when he called me Summer when he said that, to me it made it seem more like he meant it.
"I love you too Andrew" I said, I could see Nan walking down the street holding a bag.
"Duck under the window" I said, Andrew crawled over to under my window, my heart was beating so fast it could've torn through my skin. I crawled over and sat next to Andrew. I kissed him gently on the lips, he pulled me closer to him. I kissed him even harder, I was trying to take out my anger over Nan. He pulled away and stroked my hair.
"Calm down Sum" He whispered, I sighed, I could hear Nan opening the front door. That was the most riskiest time of my life. I quickly pushed my window open further and Andrew sprung out the window. He quickly ran back to his house, then he was gone. I closed the window and sat on my bed, I could hear Nan coming. I needed to pretend everything was normal. I heard her twisting the doornob, I was dreading this moment. She walked in and pulled a chair to my bed. She was going to have a talk to me, great. That's what I really need.
"Nan go away please I want to be alone" I snapped, I turned my back. Nan pulled me back to face her.
"No Summer, I am staying until you tell me what's going on" Nan said, what did she want to know. She was too clingy to me and I hated that part of her.
"Well, I am sitting here, that's what's going on" I said, I was trying to annoy her so that she would leave.
"Summer, I am serious. Ever since you started going out with Andrew you've changed" Nan said, I rolled my eyes. She was so predictable.
"Nan, you try and point out how much you hate him. Stop being so selfish, I'm happy when he's with me, you want me to be happy right?" I said, I saw the look on her face, she knew I was right.
"Summer don't go on about this, why did you have to choose from the only family I don't approve of?" Nan replied. I lay down on my bed, I stared at the ceiling.
"Maybe because if you got to know the family then you'll understand about how nice they are. If you could at least make an effort with Paul like you do with Rebecca then Paul will be nice" I said, Nan stood up she headed for the door.
"I will try and be nice to Andrew on your birthday, if he's nice back then I will try and only try with Paul" Nan said, why did she have to be so complicated.
"Nan, Andrew really does try to be nice to you, he wants to be accepted, he just doesn't think you care so he stops" I said, Nan shut the door behind herself. I pulled out my ipod and put the music on full blast. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I pulled it out and read the message. I miss you already. Andrew xx I smiled and hit reply. I miss you too! I hit send then threw my phone down next to me.
"Summer come and help me with dinner" Nan yelled, I groaned then walked out of my room to the kitchen. I still had Andrew in my head, Nan held out the potatoes.
"What are you making?" I asked, I took the potatoes from Nan's hand. I pulled out a peeler from the drawer then ran the potatoes under the water.
"Roast" Nan replied, I started to peel the potatoes, I heard Nan banging down on the chopping board. I quickly peeled the potatoes so that I could leave. I put them back down on the plate and walked away. I slammed the door shut in my room and flung myself down on the bed. I decided to sleep because I had nothing to do, not being allowed to leave the house actually sucked. I couldn't even get to sleep, I just wanted to be with Andrew. I pulled out my laptop, maybe I could speak to him, that would make me feel better. I logged onto the laptop and checked my skype. Luckily he was online, I clicked his name and then clicked video chat. I could see his face looking at me on the screen. I started to type on my keyboard. I can't talk back to you so I'll type, Nan will get suspicious if I am actually talking I plugged in my headphones so I could hear him talking.
"I love you" Andrew said, I looked at the screen, he was smiling, I smiled back and started typing. I love you too Andrew laughed, I poked my tongue out at him. Andrew pulled something out from behind him, he held it up to the computer.
"Here's the tickets" He said, I smiled and started to type. I thought they were for my birthday Andrew laughed.
"They are, they came before" Andrew replied. I heard Nan coming I quickly thrashed at the keyboard. Nan's coming.. have to go. love you xxx I minimised the page.
"Aww ok babe, I'll see you later. Remember, I love you Summer" Andrew said, I could still hear him doing something in the background. Nan walked in, I turned the laptop away from her so she couldn't see anything. I could hear Andrew humming something, I started laughing, Nan glared at me.
"Summer I need you to run to Harold's for me, now I'm only saying this cause I really need some chicken and I have to take out the roast in a few minutes. If you're not back in half an hour you're grounded on your birthday as well" Nan said, I took the money she held out for me and shoved it in my pocket.
"Ok" I said, I picked up my phone and walked to the bathroom. Andrew meet me at Harolds now, I have to be back in half an hour I texted to Andrew. I quickly ran out the house and hid behind a bush where Nan wouldn't be able to see me. I could see Andrew running out as well.
"Andrew" I yelled out, he turned to me, I climbed out of the bush and hugged him.
"What are you doing out here sneaky" He said, I pulled him along quickly so Nan couldn't see us. We turned the corner and then I stopped.
"I'm going to Harold's" I laughed, Andrew kissed me. "So I thought I'd see you" I said, we walked over to Harold's we sat down on the bench outside.
"I'm glad you did, I was so bored without you sitting next to me" Andrew said, I smiled at him. I touched his cheek, his face lit up, I kissed him, I could feel him pull me closer. Our bodies were touching, my heart was racing. I remembered I actually needed to get the chicken and get home or else I would die, literally. I stood up, Andrew stood up with me, I pulled away, and we walked in to Harold's.
"What do you need to get?" Andrew asked.
"Chicken... Nan's making roast" I replied, Andrew wrapped his arm around me. They only had one left.. luckily. I walked up to the counter and put the money in the cash registar, no one was serving.
