Hey y'all! I am so sorry about the late update. I had so much work for school then my homecoming is this Friday and guess who still doesn't have a dress? Anyway, this chapter will be... intresting.
I will stop blabbing now and let you read so... enjoy!
Laura's POV:
"How can you even eat that?" I said trying not to puke as I watched Ross lift the greasy bug up to his lips. He stopped short, looking at me, "Laura it's food." "It's a bug." I said matter of factly. He just rolled his eyes and put it in his mouth anyway.
I cringed as I heard it crunch and squish in his mouth. He licked the thin layer of grease off his lips in satisfaction.
"It's official," I said walking away down the pier leaving him behind, "Ross Shor Lynch will eat anything!" I shouted over my shoulder.
"I just like trying new things." He said defensively. I looked at him, "Ever since we got here you literally put anything in your mouth, it's creepy." I said shivering. "It's called broadining your horizons." He said making hand gestures with his hands.
I just rolled my eyes. We had been in Australia for almost a week. It was Friday afternoon and we had today off. It had been non stop work since Monday, right when we stepped off the plane actually. It was nice just to hang out with my best friend.
"You want to go to the beach? We can watch the sunset." He smiled looking down at me. I sighed, "I would honestly love too, but it looks like it's about to rain." I looked up into the sky, there were dark clouds all around the pier.
"Please?" He asked me pleading, he pouted his lip out for extra effect. I sighed. "Fine," I said defeated, "But if I get sick from the rain-" He grabbed my wrist dragging me to the beach cutting off my voice.
"Ross! Slow down!" I stopped taking off my shoes, I was going to slip if I didn't. He didn't hear me because he was already down on the beach.
I walked over to him. My black bikini was on under my billowing skirt with a flower pin in my hair to top it all off. I admit, I dressed like a tumblr girl today, but I was just in that kind of mood.
He was standing right where the tide could kiss his toes. He turned around with a childish grin on his face. He grabbed my waist and gave me a big hug. "Dance with me." He whispered in my ear.
"You really are nuts." He shrugged, with my arms around his neck and his around my waist. "I might be. But is it so wrong to want a dance with my gorgeus co-star?"
I rolled my eyes at him and pulled away. "You realize I can't dance correct?" He held out his hand "Please?" I looked for another excuse. "There's no music." I gestured out with my arms.
He looked at me. "We'll make our own."
I looked at him one more time, I saw the brightest gleam in his chocolate eyes, and I couldn't say no.
I took his hand and he twirled me around. He started softly singing, a song that was only meant for me and him.
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
I closed my eyes imagining the piano in my head. He knew that I loved this song.
I don't wanna waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
A few more hours then it's time to go
I hear thunder in the sky, but I don't dare open my eyes.
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
His voice is so soothing I open my eyes and feel a raindrop land on my cheek. This one rain drop is followed by many other ones, as the rain becomes a straight up down pour. But, me and Ross are still dancing. He twirls me around and I don't want him to stop.
Misplaced trust in old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my...
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
His arms hold me by my waist as he spins me around with my arms extended at my sides. I feel like the girl from The Notebook as the rain pounds down on my up turned face. My hair is trailing behind me no longer in its perfect curls. It is now wavy from the water, and I'm dripping from head to toe.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
No, No
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Oh, Oh
We push out and away from each other with both of our hands holding each others. It's like we know each othes movements before they happen, right down to the last step. We both have wide smiles on our faces and are laughing uncontrollably. And the way we look at each other...
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven
Is it's own special spark.
He ends the song, and we are in the perfect couple pose. One of his hands is on my waste, and the other is hanging down holding my hand, while my free hand is on his shoulder. And even though the rain is as cold as ice, his warmth is like a blanket surrounding me.
I look up at him and he looks down at me. It's one of those cliche moments that only happen in the books or the movies, it's... perfect.
I realize how close a proximity we are. The warm breath on my cheeks makes the cold almost unoticable. From the side I feel the last of the sun leave the sky starts to sprout stars.
I reluctantly pull away from him, the warmth not coming with me. The rain is just a light drizzle now so I can see the lights of the carnival on the boardwalk.
I look up at Ross staring at me, his blonde hair dripping wet. "We should get home, its late." I say, forcing the words out my throat. Because I don't want this day to end. He nods grabbing our shoes.
We start walking back to the pier sneaking glances at each other. When we get to the parking lot, I wave for a taxi. One stops as we climb in the back seat. Ross tells the driver where to go while I rest my head on the window, thinking about that dance.
So waht did you think? Was there enough Raura fluff to hold you over? I sure hope so. I might bbe able to update next week, but not this weekend. My homecoming is Friday and that will just be so hectic. Don't forget to leave a review down there! Oh!
