Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the movies mentioned in this chapter. I don't own any plots from them either. Oh and Ben and Jerry's? Sooo not mine either. No matter how much i wish it is.
Chapter 10: Of Duvets and Chickens (Part 2)
I opened the door as soon as I heard the doorbell go. Seth stood on the steps, smiling at me. He was wearing a plain white shirt over jeans with the first few buttons open and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He also had a back pack over one shoulder.
"Hey."
"Hey." I whispered, finally regaining the ability to breathe.
"Love the pocks. Fashion statement?"
I glared at him.
"I brought peace offerings." He said, opening the bag and pulling out a huge tub of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie. "According to Leah it's comfort food so I figured it might cheer you up a bit."
"Are you kidding? Of course it will!" I took the tub from him and headed towards the kitchen. I heard his heavy footfalls behind me. "I was looking for some this morning but we're all out. You must have sensed my cravings."
"What is it with females and chocolate?"
I turned into the kitchen. "I dunno. Just makes us feel better I guess." I pulled out the cutlery draw and picked up two spoons. Then headed back for the sitting room.
"It's just some days I walk into my house and mum and Leah will be sitting there, watching some chick flick, eating chocolate."
I shrugged. "Probably something to do with hormones."
I sat down on the sofa, legs curled beneath me and peeled the top off the ice-cream. I stuck my spoon into it, and took some.
"Mmmm."
"Nice?" Seth asked, sitting down beside me. I nodded and handed him the other spoon. He dug into it, lifted a piece and ate it. "That is pretty good."
I nodded again and just kept eating. He reached down to get something out of his bag. "I also brought some movies. In case you want to watch something."
I set the tub down between us and leaned closer to him to see what DVDs he was holding. "Geez Seth. A few? What did you do? Rob the video shop?"
"More like our sitting room. I didn't know what you'd want."
I looked through them. "The Longest Yard, Anger Management, Bedtime Stories. God Seth, like Adam Sandler much?"
"How can you not? Have you seen his latest movie?"
"Funny People? Yeah, just before we left Australia. What else have you got?" I asked, getting some more ice-cream.
"Fragile, The Others, Saw 1, The House Bunny-"
"You have The House Bunny?" I said, laughing.
"It's Leah's. Like I said, I didn't know what you'd want."
"That's okay Seth. I know that your secretly a fan of Anna Farris." I replied, patting him on the shoulder.
"I'm not. I hated that movie actually. Leah only just managed to get it back from Embry though."
I grinned but then felt it fade away. "Speaking of Embry, you could probably still get there on time."
"It doesn't matter."
"Yes it does he's one of your best friend."
"No really it doesn't. He's only going through with the party because Emily forced him into it. She's been really bored because no one will ever let her do anything."
"So she throws him a party?"
He nodded grimly. "That's the usual Emily. But pregnant Emily is just plain scary."
"Are you sure you don't want to go? I won't mind."
"Nah, it's cool. Plus the real celebration starts tonight."
"What's tonight?"
"I believe we are going clubbing."
"Who is we?"
"The guys. But Collin and Brady aren't very happy."
"Why not?"
"They're under age so they can't come."
I smiled. "I bet they loved that."
"They did."
"So what are we going to watch?"
"I don't care. Just as long as it's not The Notebook."
*****
"Oh my God that's horrible!" I squealed, burying my head in Seth's shoulder.
"It wasn't that bad."
"Yes it was!" I mumbled, not looking back at the screen.
"Bronte Agnew. Don't tell me your actually scared."
"No!" I said, looking up at him. He raised his eyebrows. "Okay maybe I am a bit. I don't like horror, okay?"
"Then why did you pick this film?"
"I hadn't seen it before."
He shook his head. "It's not scary maybe a little creepy, but not scary."
"Easy for you to say."
"What do you mean?"
"You're huge! You could totally take down Charlotte if she came after you! Me? I'm a shrimp."
He laughed. "Bron, I won't let Charlotte come and get you."
"Promise?" I sniffed.
"Promise."
I winced as I heard a bone crack. "Remind me not to watch any of your films ever again."
"I'm telling you, this isn't bad. You should see some Japanese Horror. Absolutely rocks. And all the old stuff too. The new stuff so sucks."
"Your crazy." I groaned.
"No I'm not, I'm just into horror. And my life, best horror story ever."
"I know, just look at your face."
"What this hot thing?" he asked, posing. I would have laughed had I not been so freaked.
"Can I play myself in the motion picture?"
"Sure, why not?"
"I swear those blocks really freak me out."
"I know. How cool would it be to have a set of those for your kid?"
"Ew, blood!" I turned back into Seth's body. "Tell me when it's stopped."
"It's stopped. I take it blood is something you don't like either."
I nodded.
"Come hear scaredy-cat." he said, and lifted me from the sofa into his lap. It was cosy and warm there and I felt a million times more comfortable and safe there. "Do you want me to turn it off? We can watch something else, even The Notebook." he murmured softly in my ear as I shivered.
"No!" I squeaked. "I can't just watch half the movie and not watch the end! I want to know what happens to the nurse!"
"I could tell you." He suggested.
I shook my head. "Not the same."
We sat like that for about another hour until the movie had finished, Seth stroking my hair in attempt to calm me. It worked, though slightly distracting.
"Well I know something that scares you now. Mechanical people."
I shivered at the memory. Somebody was going to have nightmares tonight. "So what scares you, macho man?"
He thought for a second. "I'm scared that something will happen to the people I care about."
Awh!!! "And I was scared that you'd hate me after our little "conversation" after the card game."
I sucked in a breath. "Seth, why did you stop kissing me?"
"I was afraid I was gonna get the chicken pox."
I smacked him across the head. "I was afraid that you'd be freaked out because you didn't know me that well."
My mouth fell open. "THAT'S your reason. Do you know how much torture you put me through all week and THAT'S your reason."
"I'm sorry."
"Yeah you'd wanna be."
"Can I make it up to you?" he asked, leaning in closer to me.
"No you can't." I said, sighing and stopping him.
"You get angry at me for stopping the first time, you stop me the second. What's your reason?"
I whined. "I have the pox remember? We shouldn't even be this close! You kiss me and you're definitely going to have them tomorrow!"
"No I won't."
"And what makes you so confident?"
"I've had them before."
"Yeah? So have I!"
"And I have a stronger immune system than you do."
"How do you know that?
"It's to do with my….genes."
I bit my lip. "Well when you do get them, don't blame me."
He grinned. "I won't." He leaned down again, but this time I didn't stop him. He put his lips on mine and kissed me.
Suddenly, I felt really light-headed and completely forgot about being sick and scary movies and just kissed him back. Finally we were getting somewhere.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt his slide down my back. My heart was beating so loud I'm sure he could hear it but I guess I forgot to be embarrassed.
I could have kissed him forever, so you can imagine how disappointed I was when he pulled away. "I think I hear a car in your driveway."
I moaned loudly and he smirked. "Can't we just tell them to go away?"
"I don't think your brothers would like it if they came home and a stranger was sitting in their living room and making out with their sick little sister."
"What if I don't let you up?"
He stood up, lifting me from him and dumping me back onto the couch. I giggled as I watched him gather the extra DVDs lying around the place. He took Fragile out of the player and put it back in its case. After putting them all into his bag, he came back to me.
"May I come again soon Ms. Agnew?"
I brushed a little of his hair out of his eyes. "You had better. Have fun tonight. Wish Embry happy birthday from me."
"I will." He said, pecking me on the lips. "Bye Bronte."
He walked out of the room and I heard the front door open. I followed him out.
Luke was sitting in our car just outside the house. I saw him watch Seth pass and get into his jeep. I smiled and waved when he drove away. Luke got out and practically ran to me.
"Who was that?" That's the most he's said to me in about a week.
"A friend. Why does it matter to you?"
"I think I have the right to know who's been in my house."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I yelled as he pushed past me and went to his room. What the hell was his problem?
A/N: Please tell me what you thought of this chapter. What did you think of the kiss? Good or bad? Thanks for all the reviews and to everyone who adds me to their favourites. Hope you liked this chapter!
the pen fatelle: Yes you can, but it is rare. My friend had them twice. Yeah i know he is, but you have to remember that this is hard for him. He works night and day and then has to come home and play referee for three teenagers.
skarpia: Thank you.
Eskimo Baby: I know. What would be the chances?
LadyLovely: Thanks.
EmmettLaughedAtMe: It isn't that bad, just damn itchy. And i hope you touched wood 'cause we wouldn't want your poor aunt to get them after 46 consecutive years without them now would we? I had them when i was 3 and gave them to both my brothers. :) Nah, she doesn't look weird. A scene where Seth scratches her? Sorry but I am not gonna write that. Not through the window, yet.... I think he has too. I believe she asks him about it he next time they see each other. Have you been reading my mind again? I started to try and build towards that with the end of this chapter. B will turn 17 in a few months. I already have plans for her birthday.... And don't worry bout blabbering. I blabber too, as you can see.
GurlCullen17: Thanking you.
xXPassion11Xx: Yes, a kiss. Tell me what you thought of it please.
