Ross had his finished dressing and getting his stuff ready to leave for Laura's house. Luckily she lived next door to him. He had to leave tomorrow for the R5 tour, but tonight he is going to enjoy his time with Laura. As long as no interruptions from his family, particularly his siblings and Ratliff. He loved them all, but he wants privacy with his crush. He is determined to finally call Laura "His".
Ross locked up his dressing room, when he was stopped by Rydel, his lovable older sister.
Rydel: Rossy are you ready to go?
Ross: Uh Rydel, what are you doing here?
Rydel: I came to give you a ride home. First to the mall, then home.
Ross: Seriously? I can't go to the mall today.
Rydel: Why not?
Ross: I have plans with Laura.
Rydel: Laura? OMG are you two a couple? An item? A thing?! *fangirling*
Ross: Not yet, in progress. She asked me to her house to spend time with me before we leave for tour tomorrow.
Rydel: Omg lets have a sleep over with her. We can play truth or dare, let me call the others.
Ross: Rydel, you know I love you all, but Laura asked JUST ME.
Rydel: Why only you?
Ross: I don't know, but this is my chance to spend some ALONE time with her. SO please don't ruin this for me. PLEASE?!
Rydel: Fine, then. I'll just call Ellington to come with me.
Ross: You and Ratliff?!
Rydel: Just friends..
Ross: Uh huh. Well have fun but don't get hurt or he gets hurt by me.
Rydel: Whatever Rossy. Come on I'll drive you to Laura's. Better call mom and dad, or else Mom will call a rescue party.
Ross: I will. Now lets GO NOW.
They head to Rydel's car, Chubbs, to Laura's.
Ross gets out of the car, and walk to the door. Rydel yells,"Use protection".
Ross blushes. He already called his mom to let her know where he was. His one of the biggest Raura shippers, but protective as well. She's my mom, so she will always be protective. Luckily though, she absolutely loves Laura. She and Ellen are always saying they are planning our wedding. Maybe one day...
Ross walks to her door, ringing then door bell. Soon the door opens and my future wife is standing there in shorts, crop top, hair in messy bun, and her mega-watt smile. Laura was simply beautiful.
Laura: Checking me out Lynch? Better close your mouth, before you catch flies.
Ross: Very funny. I can't help but notice a beautiful, classic woman.
Laura: Very smooth, Ross. Come on in.
Ross walks inside the house. The house felt empty without the other Maranos around. Ross was glad, though, because there is no way Laura's father would leave him alone with his youngest daughter. Mr. Marano is a typical Italian father, very protective. He will probably be the same way someday with children of his own. Hopefully, Laura will be in my future. He honestly couldn't see anyone else fulfilling that role.
Laura went into the kitchen, and yelled, "Ross, while I get our snacks, would you mind grabbing the movies and blankets on my bed?"
Ross replied, "Sure as long as I can get a kiss."
Laura: What did you say?
Ross: Nothing. Of course I'll get it.
Ross goes to Laura's room to get the movies and blankets. Ahh Romeo and Juliet..she knows me so well. He thought. He was about to leave when he spotted a journal laying on the bed, opened. It reminded him of the episode where Austin read Ally's songbook. He can hear Ally tauntinghim, "Don't touch my book." He shouldn't read it, but it's laying there open for him to read. He quickly skimmed through it. It revealed that she has feelings for him too. Yes! He wanted to read further but Laura called from downstairs, "Ross is everything okay?"
Ross put the book back to its original spot. " I'm coming!" He ran back downstairs. Laura was sitting on the couch, waiting for him to start the movie.
Ross put the DVD in its player, and sat on the couch.
Laura: You know you can sit closer, I wont bite..
Ross: I don't bite, either. Unless you want me to. * he winked*
Laura: You're such a flirt. Lets just watch the movie.
Ross: Its time for Romeo and Juliet..
Laura: Typical that you would put that in first. Haha
Ross: You chose it, though.
Laura: Touche'.
Ross starts the movie, putting his arm around Laura's shoulder as she rested her head on his chest. This felt so natural, and felt so right. If all goes right,maybe Laura will finally be His. The Raura/Auslly fans would go Wild, and Ross would finally have his love. Ross wasn't blind that some tried to hook him with Maia..She's okay but she's not Laura.
***A couple hours later***
Romeo and Juliet has ended, and Laura & Ross were eating dinner while watching "Dear John." Laura thought it was cool to find a guy who loved romantic movies. If she were honest with herself, Ross had to be one of the most sensitive, but romantic guys she's ever met.
Ross and Laura sat and talked for hours, chasing one another through the house, having the time lives. He was the best friend she's ever had. Did she want more? Yes, but he will never see her that way. She turned her head and saw Ross just staring at her.
Laura: Ross what are you staring at?
Ross: Just staring at you..
Laura: I see that, but why?
Ross: *sigh* Laura, there is something I need to say but I don't know how to say it?
Laura: You know you can tell me anything..
Ross: I know and that's why we are best friends. But, what I need to say could change things between us. That could be a good thing, or bad. But, I've held in my feelings for so long.
Laura: I know what you mean. That's part of the reason I invited you over. I think we need to be honest. Like Austin would say, push ahead look down. Break down our walls.
Ross: Very true. I'm not good with words. Perhaps if I can show it to you.
Laura: Um okay...
Laura got nervous as Ross started to lean in. Laura found herself leaning in as well. Their lips softly brushed against one another, his lips were and soft. Laura pulled away for a second. Ross smiled, and just as he was going to deepen the kiss, there was a knock on the door..Damn it, Ross thought.
Laura excused herself to answer the door. It was Riker.
Riker: Hey Laura is Ross here?
Laura: Um yes, he's in the living room.
Riker rushed past her, and grabbed Ross.
Ross: Riker?! What the hell dude?
Riker: Sorry man, but we just got word that we have to get on the bus like Now instead of tomorrow.
Ross: What?! Why?!
Riker: I don't know, but we go! Your bags are packed and everyone is getting on the tour bus.
Ross looked at Laura who looked shocked and sad.
Ross: Laur, Iam so sorry.
Laura: Its okay, Ross. I know how important this tour is. I'll see you when you get back.
Ross: But, Laur..
Laura: Ross, we can talk when you get back. Now get going. I'll miss you.
Ross: I'll miss you too. I'll call and text you every day okay?
Riker: Lets go now!
Riker pulled Ross towards the door. Ross was about to leave, but turned back to see Laura's lip quivering and tears threatening to fall. He turned back and grabbed her in his arms and kissed her hard and passionately. Laura returned the kiss, just as eager. They didn't want to let go or say goodbye.
Riker: ROSS!?
Ross: I'm sorry Laura, I have to go. We will discuss this soon. Please just don't forget me.
Laura: I promise.
Sharing one last kiss, Ross was gone. She could see him looking back at her while getting bus. She waved, her door. She backed herself against the door and slid down, and cried. She could still feel his lips on hers. So close.
Laura locked up the house, and went to her room to climb into her bed. She held her pillow, and cried herself to sleep. She would have to wait three months to see him again.
Meanwhile on the bus...
Ross got onto the bus, and ignored his family as he laid on his bunk.
Riker: Ross, Iam sorry I had to interrupt your date. You know how important this tour is.
Ross: I know it is, but so is Laura.
Riker: You're in love with her, huh?
Ross: Yeah and now she may never know.
Riker: We will be back dude, and if she's meant to be yours she will be waiting.
Ross: Dude its Laura we're talking about! Do you know how LONG I've waited for even a chance with her? All the times she has friend zoned me?! I think tonight she began to break her walls down.
Riker: Sorry, not to be a kill joy, but maybe it's for the best. Do you know how hard it is to date a co-star? Look at Lea Michele and Cory, may he rest in peace.
Ross: I know you mean well, but for now I just want to rest and not talk about it.
Riker: Sure, I'm here if you need to talk..
Ross laud down and fell off to sleep.
"I love you,Laura"
Sleep soon took over...
