Yep, this chapter is a sort of lead up to the next one. It's going to have a lot of Teddy/Spencer in it, I think it will anyways...
When we came back in from taking out the trash Ivy and Ray were still passed out on the couch. Her head on his chest with his resting on hers and his arms wrapped tightly around her. They looked every part of the adoring couple, it actually made me take Spencer's hand in mine and pull him into a hug.
"What's making you all touchy today?" he whispered into my hair. "Not that I'm complaining or anything, I most definitely missed this."
I smiled into his shoulder and was about to respond when the power flashed out. I let out a shriek and held on tighter to Spencer. My shriek must have scare Ivy and Ray because they tumbled off the couch and I felt Ivy grab my leg in her hand.
"T, is that you? Or are you some killer that wants to kill the most divalicious girl in the house?" she asked standing up slowly.
"Really Ivy; It's me," I said letting go of Spencer but I made sure to keep one of his hands in mine. I mean, just in case, right?
Ray walked over to the window and looked outside. "You guys the snow's coming down pretty hard out there. Man, I would hate to have to drive on that road it looks like it's covered in ice."
"I think that you guys should stay here until it passes. I'm going upstairs to get Charlie, and then I think we should go down into the basement. There fuse box is down there and the only working phone, according to my mom," I said, walking towards the stairs with Spencer.
"Seriously, did you know that there are phones that attach to walls? They have cords and number pad thingies and you can use them when the power's out. It's crazy," I heard Ivy saying as I walked up the stairs.
Charlie was still asleep and snuggled up in her bed. I hated to get her up, but I really didn't want to leave her up here while we were down in the basement. I figured that if I lifted her slowly and gently that I wouldn't wake her up too much and she could still go back to sleep.
I slid one hand under her head and the other under her butt, lifting her up to my hip. She let out a sigh and snuggled into my neck, going back to sleep. I smiled and felt Spencer's hands find my hips, pulling me back to him.
"It's cute how good you are with her," he whispered into my ear. "Did you know that?"
I rolled my eyes and started walking back down the stairs. Once we were back in the basement I gave Charlie to Spencer, who was sitting on the couch, and I walked over to the phone on the wall. I was going to call mom and dad.
I dialed mom's cell number and waited for her to answer. On the second ring I heard her voice, it sounded frazzled, "Teddy! I've been trying to call the house all night! How are you guys doing? Is the power out there?"
"Uhm, we're fine and the power is out. All of us are in the basement, including Charlie, and we're going to chill down here and try to entertain ourselves until the power comes back on," I said.
"Okay, we're not going to try and drive on these roads. We actually found this cute little inn-" she said. But I cut her off.
"That's great mom, call us on this line when you start to leave," I said, then hung up. "Ray did you try the fuse box?"
He nodded his head and said, "Yeah but it wasn't any use, all of the powers out. I think the line's frozen actually. Do you have any small space heaters or anything?"
Ivy and I looked at each other then back at Ray, "Any what?"
"Never mind, I see one in the corner over there. Thank God for Bob and his tool fetish," Ray said the last part under his breath.
I rolled my eyes again and sat down next to Spencer on the couch. He was looking down at Charlie and brushing curls out of her face as she slept. "You know it's cute how good you are with her."
He looked up at me and caught my lips with his. It was a light, little kiss but it filled me with light from my head to my toes. When I pulled back I saw him giving me this adorable little smile that I couldn't help but laugh at.
"Okay you guys, that's gross, and you're kissing over a little girl. Do you have no shame?" Ivy said but I could hear the smile in her voice. "Wait until I tell Mama Duncan, oh girl, she's going to flip her top."
"Shut up," I said. "What are we going to do until we get electricity back? We need some source of entertainment."
"I think there are some old board games over there on that shelf give me Charlie and go help Ray look," I said to Spencer.
He handed her to me and walked over to the shelf. Ivy sat down beside me and nudged me with her elbow, pointing over to the guys. When I looked over I saw why; Spencer was stretching to reach something on a high shelf and his shirt had rose to where a little bit of his stomach was peeking through.
I saw washboard abs and a trail of hair that lead down to… unmentionable places. I knew my cheeks must have been on fire but I couldn't help but stare at his body. I glanced over at Ivy and saw her giving me the smirk.
"What? If I want to stare at my boyfriend, I can. It's not against the law," I whispered to her. "I'm going to go lay Charlie down in my room."
She shook her head and walked over to the guys. I stood up and made my trek over to my room opening the door. I laid Charlie on my bed and put pillows around her so she didn't fall off. Once I had it baby proof I went back into the basement.
There was a Twister mat spread out on the floor and Ivy was lighting candles so we could see. I couldn't hold back my smile; I was a beast at this game.
I realize that Teddy isn't coordinated at all but I thought this would be fun... Review?
