Thanks to all who reviewed. I commented to all instead of posting it in this chapter. It just takes up alot of space. Anyway, here's eagerly awaited CHAPTER 4!
Phil and Keely were in his room after the snowball fight. They couldn't stop laughing about the whole thing. Pim and Curtis were so tired from it, they were both napping.
"Talk about fun... we hardly ever get snow!" Keely said happily.
"I know. It was a blast." Phil agreed.
"I think the one who had the most fun was Curtis... poor guy was totally confused!"
Phil nodded. "Yeah, but he definetley had fun."
Keely grinned. Phil stared at her for a moment, wishing that smile would last forever. It was such a beautiful smile... . When she finally stopped grinning, he snapped out of his trance.
So...um, would you like some hot cocoa?"
"Sure... sounds good." Keely answered.
They went into the kitchen and began heating the milk. Then they added the mix.
"Hey, Keel do you want some marsh-", Phil began while turning around.
He was interrupted by Keely stuffing two huge marshmallows into his mouth.
"Good enough answer for you?"
"Vhy jid vou vo vat?", he mumbled through a mouthful of marshmallow.
Keely began laughing hysterically. "To hear... you talk... like that!" she cried, clutching her stomach and trying to catch her breath.
Phil chewed the marshmallows and swallowed. "It wasn't that funny. Besides, you know this means payback, right?"
Keely continued chucking. "Oh, yes it was that funny! You looked like a chipmunk. But a very cute chipmunk. And as for payback, that was so worth it!
"Oh, yeah? We'll just see about that."
They finished making the hot chocolate and went into the living room to drink it.
"So, what do you want to do tomorrow?", Phil questioned, taking a sip of his hot chocolate.
Keely's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh my gosh! Didn't I tell you? Tia's visiting. Her, Via, and I are supposed to go Christmas shopping tomorrow."
"Oh...", Phil stated glumly.
Keely frowned. He sounded disappointed. "Phil, I'm really sorry. I can't believe I forgot to tell you!"
"No, it's okay. I understand." he assured her. "I mean, you hardly ever get to see Tia anymore."
"I'd invite you to come, but I know you're not really into shopping." Keely trailed off.
"Well, you guys probably need some girl time anyway. I'll be alright. I promise."
Keely smiled, and put a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks, Phil. Tell you what... if there's time I'll try and see if I can make it tomorrow. How does that sound?"
There was the grin again... Phil couldn't help but smile back. "It sounds great. Hey, I'm going to go get more cocoa. You want some?"
"No thanks. I'm fine."
"Okay, be right back."
Keely nodded.
When he entered the living room again, he had one hand behind his back.
"What's that?", Keely asked suspiciously.
"A surprise." he answered simply.
"Ohhh!" Kelly shouted happily. "I love surprises!"
She instantly got excited. Maybe it was something very special... like an I love you kind of special.
"Close your eyes.." Phil commanded playfully. Keely did as she was told.
The next thing she knew a sweet smelling gooey substance was being put onto her nose. It was also warm. Keely opened her eyes. A melted marshmallow!
"So, how do you like payback?" Phil teased. He began laughing as she had before and pointing at her nose. "You look so cute!"
"How did you melt it?" Keely asked.
"Microwave..."
"Phil Diffy, I'm going to get you!" she shouted, and began chasing him around the house.
When he was out of breath, he grabbed her gently by the shoulders and wiped the marshmallow of her nose. He licked it off his finger.
"Not bad..." he commented. "Very sweet..." Just like the girl of whose nose it was on.
Keely couldn't help but laugh. "What am I going to do with you?" she wondered aloud.
Phil frowned. "All right. Punish me if you must."
She shook her head and gave him a hug. "I couldn't be so cruel. I'll just have to make sure to keep a better eye on you."
Phil returned the hug. That actually didn't sound half bad.
'Kay, kinda short but longer than the other chapters I think. Hope you liked it! I'll update again as soon as I can.
