One Quiet Friday Evening
Chapter 2
"Let's order a pizza."
"YES, thank-you Angie, I'm starving!"
"You're always starving Phillip!"
Tommy shook his head, "Okay we'll order pizza but don't start arguing you two."
"Sorry, T."
So, pizza was ordered. Tommy was relieved, he needed a distraction. For the last hour they had been talking, eating and mucking around with the pillows.
"I'm gonna go put my pjs on guys before the pizza comes." Lil said, heading upstairs.
"Yeah we all should really." Chuckie agreed. The boys changed and waited for the girls. In the meantime pizza arrived.
"Jeez, how long does it take for you lot to get changed into pajamas!" Phil said impatiently as the three girls came downstairs.
"We were making ourselves look gorgeous for you of course." Kimi teased, flicking her hair over her shoulder.
Phil stepped up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Honestly you don't need to."
Lil rolled her eyes. Angelica had gone over to sit next Chuckie.
"Okay… let's eat!"
The night went on from there. They pulled out two mattresses and everyone found somewhere to sit and they began to watch a horror movie.
Lil watched for a while and then began to feel uncomfortable. She looked around. Chuckie and Angelica were huddled on the couch, Chuckie hiding into her shoulder. It appeared that Kimi and Phil were hardly watching the film, they were making out instead. She glanced at Tommy who sat beside her. He watched the movie hardly flinching a bit. She took the opportunity to look him over.
It's not fair, I wish he was mine.
Sensing someone was watching, Tommy looked at Lil. She turned away quickly. Suddenly she got up and began to walk out.
"Where you going?" Angelica asked.
"For a walk."
Tommy looked over at Angelica for a second and decided to go follow Lil.
He watched her as she moved out to his back yard. The air was brisk yet bearable. She slipped into the tire swing hanging from a tree with her back away from him.
Walking up slowly, Tommy tried not to let her know he was there. It wasn't until he heard her crying that he changed his mind.
"Lil what's wrong?"
Lil jumped, "Oh Tommy, you scared the crap out of me!"
He looked at her. Her greeny-blue eyes were full of tears that she was trying to hastily wipe away.
"Sorry," He said, "Why are you crying?"
She looked away from him and into the window where the others were.
"Look at them," She choked, "They're so happy with one another."
Tommy knitted his eyebrows, confused, "Lil what…?"
She laughed, "I'm such an idiot."
"No you're not. Tell me what's wrong."
He leant against the tree beside her. "It's just…silly really…"
"C'mon Lil, you know you can tell me anything."
She looked him the eye and then looked away, "Not quite anything, T."
Tommy sensed something was up, "What's your situation?"
"Huh?"
"Like what's the situation you're in at the moment?"
"Oh…" Lil swung on the tire a little, "I like this guy but I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me back…"
"How do you know that?"
"I just know," She said in a strained voice and buried her head into the arm which was holding onto the tire. Her shoulders shook a little.
Tommy breathed deeply and stepped beside her to hug her. She let go of the tire and wrapped her arms around his neck. The only thing holding her in the tire was her legs…
After a second she took a breath and looked up at Tommy. "I'm sorry!"
"No don't be! I know how you feel…"
"Really?"
"Oh yeah." Still holding onto her, he stepped back, only to trip over a tree root. He fell and took Lil straight down with him – or rather – onto him.
There was a slight silence and suddenly the two teens cracked up laughing. After a few minutes, they settled and their position soon became apparent.
"Lil-"
"No Tommy. You know that person I was talking about? It was yo-"
She was cut short by Tommy bringing a hand to the back of her head and pushing her lips to his.
It lasted for several moments before they broke off. Lil giggled and buried her head into his shoulder. Tommy kissed her neck lightly and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What was that about that guy not liking you?"
