A/N: Ok, so far, the feedback has been pretty good, which inspires me to keep writing, so here's chapter 4. Read and Review plz and thank you!
Summer walked down her driveway. Chris was leaning against his car when she reached the end of the driveway. Chris walked towards her.
'Everything ok?' Chris asked. Summer nodded her head.
'Yea, it's fine. You guys ready to go?' Summer asked. Chris nodded, but Eric and Katie were too busy kissing to hear the question. Summer walked over to Katie and smacked her on the back of the head.
'Hey, quit getting your face sucked off and let's go!' Summer laughed. Katie smirked at Summer and got into Eric's car. Summer and Chris walked over to his car and Chris opened he door for Summer. Summer got in and Chris walked around to the driver's side of the car. Before getting Chris got in the car, Summer noticed something that made her heart stop: Chris' drumsticks sitting on the dashboard. She instantly thought of Freddy and felt guilty, but then remembered what he did and how he acted. She shook the thought out of her head when Chris got into the car and she put her seatbelt on. Chris started the car and followed Eric's car to the studio.
'You know Summer, I'm really glad you came with me,' Chris said at a red light. Summer smiled.
'I'm glad you asked me to go with you,' she said. Chris smiled those perfect pearly whites and seemed a little less nervous. Summer smiled at herself and blushed.
'So, what's your full name?' Summer asked Chris, making small talk until they got to the party.
'Well, my full name is Christopher Andrew McCarthy, but just call me Chris,' he said, smiling and putting the car into drive, 'So Summer, what's you're full name?' Summer laughed.
'Summer Anne Hathaway, but just call me Summer or Tink,' Summer said.
'Ok Tink,' Chris said. Summer smiled and her heart jumped when he called her Tink. Chris pulled into the parking lot of the studio. Chris was obviously more relaxed around Summer now, and it was showing. Summer could tell she was going to fall for this guy, but she didn't care. He was sweet and nice, and apparently smart, from the conversation about school they had on the way over. Chris walked over to Summer's side of the car and opened the door for her.
'What a gentleman,' she said, stepping out of the car, adjusting her shirt at the bottom.
'You know, you look amazing tonight,' Chris said, taking her hand and lacing his fingers with hers, which shocked Summer, and leading her to the doors of the building. Summer blushed and thanked him.
'You look really nice too,' she said. Chris thanked her and they walked into the building. The party was going to be in the VIP room (basically the party room), and there was going to be dancing, food, and lots of record dealing going on. All the bands were invited to come, and they could bring friends with them, as long as they brought a list ahead of time of whom they were bringing, and Summer was glad Chris picked her.
Freddy had gotten to the party before Summer. He looked around for Zack, who was dancing with Marta. Zack saw him and walked over.
'Hey dude, you look pissed, what's up?' Zack said. Freddy crossed his arms over his chest.
'Guess who Summer's coming here tonight with,' he said.
'Chris? I already know,' Zack said, looking at his feet. Freddy eyes opened wide in shock.
'How did you already know!' Freddy practically yelled.
'Katie told me, on the phone today when I asked her what time the party started. She told me she had to go to the mall w/ Summer because they had dates tonight,' Zack said. Freddy couldn't believe what he was hearing.
'Holy crap! Why didn't you tell me,' Freddy said.
Zack shrugged, 'Cuz I thought you would flip out…and plus you weren't home when I called,' Zack laughed, 'Relax, it's not serious yet. It's only their first date. For all we know Chris will find someone else here, hook up with them and Summer will be upset and yada yada yada, you get it.'
'Yea…I guess you're right. I, uh, think I totally screwed us up worse,' Freddy said.
'How much could you have screwed you 2 up after you pushed her?' Zack asked. Freddy looked at him confusingly.
'Katie told me,' Zack said, answering Freddy's unspoken question, 'well?'
'Well, uh, I went over to her house before coming here, and I needed to talk to her, and I kissed her,' Freddy said.
'YOU WHAT!' Zack yelled over the music, punching Freddy in the chest, 'are you an IDIOT?'
'I know, I know, but I didn't plan it. She kissed me back though…until she slapped me,' Freddy said, shoving his hands in his pockets. At that moment, he saw Summer walk in with Chris, and they were holding hands. Freddy groaned.
'Spazz, you need to talk to her. I'll talk to her first and tell her that you're coming over tomorrow to talk about it,' Zack said. Freddy thanked him and decided he should try to have fun. He tried to ignore Summer and Chris and asked a girl from another band if she wanted to dance. He thought her name was Kelli, but he didn't really care. He only wanted to dance.
Summer walked in the door and everyone was there dancing, eating and having fun. Chris walked in behind her. Still holding onto his hand, Summer turned around.
'Wanna dance?' She had to yell for him to hear her. Chris looked around, saw that Eric and Katie were already dancing, and thought what the hell.
'Yea, let's dance,' he yelled back. The stereo was playing AC/DC and Summer started dancing with Chris. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Freddy dancing with someone. It was Kelli, Summer second worst nemesis (behind Amanda). She thought to herself, What a bastard! He fuckin kissed me and now he's acting like that! It was a really good kiss though…Summer, get your head on straight!
The song changed to Velvet Revolver's Slither, and Summer loved that song. She had been dancing face to face with Chris so far the entire time, and they were dancing near Eric and Katie, and everyone was having the best time. Summer started doing a minor head banging, and everyone laughed and followed. The, Summer grabbed Chris' hands and put them on her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they kept dancing. She didn't know why she did that, but she felt so comfortable around this guy she didn't have a second thought about getting that close to him. Chris seemed to not mind, and was having fun, and so was Summer.
Chris brought his head down to Summer's ear, 'You're a really good dancer,' he had to shout. Summer smiled.
'Thanks, it's my first time dancing with a guy I actually like,' Summer said. She saw the ends of Chris' ears blush before he pulled his head back up. Suddenly, Summer found herself looking into Chris bright green eyes, and Chris was looking into Summer's blue eyes. Both of them stopped moving. Summer blinked and pulled away, the song was ending and Summer needed some water.
'I'm gonna grab something to drink, you want anything?' She said, grabbing Katie to go with her.
'Uh, no, I'm ok,' Chris said. He seemed a little confused. When Summer and Katie left, he and Eric left the dance area and leaned against the wall.
'Did I do something wrong?' Chris said suddenly. Eric looked at his friend.
'I've known Summer longer than anyone thinks. She's like a sister to me, I mean, she introduced me to Katie, so trust me when I say you didn't do anything. I saw your little moment, she REALLY likes you. When she dances with you like THAT, she likes you. I've never seen her like this around another guy, you're lucky, she's really picky,' Eric answered. Chris smiled.
'I really like her too, I think I'm gonna ask her out, what do you think?' Chris said.
'Go for it, she's gonna say yes…unless…oh, never mind, I almost guarantee she'll say yes,' Eric answered. Before Chris could ask why he wasn't sure, Summer and Katie came back with water bottles. Chris just couldn't stop thinking how beautiful Summer was while they danced for the rest of the party.
Summer pulled Katie behind her to the drink table.
'What do you want?' Katie said, 'I was dancing with ERIC!'
'I think I really like him, but I don't know Katie!' Summer said, grabbing a water bottle.
'Don't know about what? He obviously likes you! I saw your little LAA moment! You were in heaven, I mean, you danced with him THAT way, oh please, if he doesn't ask you out tonight, it'll be tomorrow!' Katie said, leading Summer back to the guys. Summer decided that she really did like Chris, A LOT, and wherever it went, she was gonna go with it.
When they got back to the guys, they danced again. Freddy saw everything that went on, and even that moment, the one that he always dreamed of having with Summer. Before Freddy realized what he was doing, he grabbed Kelli's hand and pulled out into the hallway. She had been all over him all night, and now all he needed was to let off some steam. He started making out with her in the hall until he heard footsteps. Summer and the other three were leaving, and walking out. Summer saw Freddy with Kelli and laughed.
Freddy groaned and cursed under his breath. Summer always seemed to catch at the worst times. Freddy walked up to Summer.
'I can – ' He got out before Summer shoved him away.
'You're a dumbass Jones,' Summer laughed and grabbed Chris' hand and kept walking towards the parking lot. Freddy groaned and walked back into the party. Damn his hormones…
Eric was going to drop off Katie at her house, and then meet up with Chris at Summer's house because he was going with Chris over to his house to practice new stuff. It was almost midnight when Chris pulled into Summer's driveway. Summer turned to Chris.
'You wanna hang in my room until Eric shows up?' Summer said, unbuckling her seatbelt. Chris froze up and gave a nervous laugh.
'Your…uh…bedroom, uh…alone?' he asked, and laughed nervously. Summer remembered that he didn't know about her little 'apartment.' She laughed.
'Well, not exactly my bedroom. You see that apartment above the garage?' Chris nodded, 'Well, basically I live up there. I meant we can hang in the living room until Eric shows up,' Summer said. Chris side with relief and nodded. They got out of the car and walked up the stairs to the apartment. When they got inside, Summer told Chris to wait in the living room while she grabbed a hair tie from her bathroom.
'You have a really hot place,' Chris said, looking at all the stereo and TV equipment when Summer walked out of the bathroom with her hair pulled up in a messy bun. Chris thought she was breath taking.
'Thanks, I've been in here for about 2 years. I like it,' Summer said. She walked up to Chris, 'you know, you can come over and hang whenever I'm home and can hang or whatever…' Summer said nervously, like one of those 3rd grade crushes. Chris smiled and looked into Summer's eyes. Suddenly, they both felt weak and like they had jello in their knees. Summer smiled and Chris started leaning his head down. Summer stood on her toes and brought her lips to his. Summer put her hands on his neck, the same way she had with Freddy. Chris put his hands on her back and brought his head lower so she wasn't on her toes.
Soon, it was a full on make out with Summer against the wall. Summer's hands were in his shaggy hair, and Chris hands roamed her back (A/N: Yes Meg, I used the word ROAMED lol). Chris pulled away for a second.
'You don't mind me kissing you, right?' He asked, pulling Summer away from the wall and lacing her fingers in his. Summer smiled. He WAS such a gentleman.
'Of course not, I mean, you don't mind me kissing you, do you?' Summer answered, laughing. Chris smiled and shook his head.
'Summer, I don't know why, but I feel so comfortable around you. I feel like I can be myself, my goofy, weird, self,' Chris said, kissing Summer's hand.
'I feel the same way with you,' Summer said, hoping this was going in the direction she wanted it to go.
'I…uh…wanted to ask you…do you want…I mean, will you be my girlfriend?' Chris finally got out. Summer could barely contain herself, 'I mean, I know we just met, but, I feel a connection, as corny as that sounds –' Summer put her finger to Chris' lips.
'Of course I'll be your girlfriend, YES!' Summer yelled and jumped up into Chris' arms.
A/N: Ok, there's chapter 4. I know it's not a real cliffhanger ending, but I thought a nice ending would be good and fun. Let me know what you think, and I do like the criticism, it keeps me on my toes! Also, you're aloud, if you read criticism, to disagree with it! Lol plz read and review!
