Chapter 5

“How come the guys aren’t just coming over?” Dylan asked as we got into his car.

“It’s Sunday night.” I laughed. “Most of them have family dinners.”

Dylan just nodded, turning on his car.

“Want to come in?” I asked as we got to my house.

He hesitated. “Sure.” He grinned.

“The other guys will be here after dinner, around 8 or so. Don’t worry.” I laughed. “But I’m just waring you, because it’s your first day, they’ll do all that cliche shit of ‘getting to know you’.”

“Uh... Should I be scared?” Dylan teased, shutting his door.

“Nah. It’s just stupid stuff like truth or dare and never have I ever.” I laughed as we headed up to the front door. My parents were in the kitchen, and frowned when they saw me.

“Who’s this?” My mom asked harshly.

“This is Dylan. He’s um, my friend.” I said. “Dylan, that’s my mom and dad.”

“Hi, I’m Dylan. Nice to meet you Mr. Carson, Mrs. Carson.” Dylan said, shaking both of their hands. My dad actually smiled.

“Are you staying for dinner?” Dad asked him.

Dylan looked back at me. I just shrugged, completely unsure how to handle this. I never was allowed to have a friend over for dinner.

“Sure.” Dylan smiled.

“Excellent. I’ll call you up when dinner’s on the table. Nice to meet you Dylan.” My mother said. I just gave them weird looks and grabbed Dylan’s hand, pulling him downstairs with me.

“Geez.” Dylan laughed.

“Oh God. I don’t know how to do this.” I said, shaking my head.

“Do what?”

“Have them like one of my friends!” I laughed. “They hate the team.”

Dylan smiled.

“I’m just that amazing.” Dylan laughed. I just looked at him.

“Yea you are.” I admitted. Dylan smiled, his eyes meeting mine. I suddenly realized how close we were. There was barely a foot between us.

“So um, uh, do you want to watch TV or something?” I asked, suddenly jumping back. “I was just going to- uh- I’m going to have a shower.” I mumbled.

Dylan was just standing there.

“Make yourself comfortable.” I said, quickly darting into the bathroom. I took a quick shower, and just let my hair down naturally. It instantly curled up and I sighed as I pulled on some cotton shorts and t-shirt. I walked out of my room to join Dylan and smiled at him, sitting on the couch.

“You’re watching the news?” I laughed.

“Yea.” He shrugged. “They’re talking about the VMAs.” Dylan said as I sat down next to him.

“Oooh. Fancy.” I giggled, watching the TV with him.

We flipped around random channels, until my mom called us up for dinner.

Dylan sat in between me and Sofia, who kept looking at him weirdly.

“Do you play on Samantha’s team?” Sofia asked as soon as we’d sat down.

“Yep. I just moved here from Colorado.” Dylan smiled.

Dinner went by much better than I expected, and my parents actually talked to me. I don’t know why, they just really really liked Dylan. After dinner, my parents actually stayed at the table, and I didn’t protest when I was told to stay too.

“Can we be excused?” I asked after too much talking for my liking.

“Of course!” My mom grinned.

“It was nice meeting you, Dylan.” My dad said. Dylan nodded.

“Likewise.” He grinned.

Dylan followed me down to the basement and I let out a big breath.

“That was a lot better than I expected.”

“Haven’t you ever brought a boy home for dinner?” Dylan laughed.

I shook my head. “Nope.” I replied.

“Hmm.” Dylan said, sitting down on the couch.

“Wanna play mario kart?” I asked, turning on the WII.

“Oh I’m boss at this game.” Dylan said as I sat down next to him.

“Oh really?” I said. “Well be prepared to get your ass kicked.”

I beat him 4 times in a row.

“Alright this isn’t fair switch controllers with me.” He frowned, reaching for mine.

“Uh no!” I protested, holding it out of his reach.

“There’s no way you’ve beaten me that many times.” Dylan laughed. He grabbed for the remote, and I laughed, trying to get away. He grabbed my waist, and we went tumbling off the couch. I landed on my back with an oomph, but my breath was taken away by the closeness of Dylan, practically laying on top of me.

“I’m just that amazing.” I whispered.

“What?” Dylan asked, clearly confused.

“To have beaten you so many times.” I giggled. Dylan’s face broke into a smile and his eyes met mine.

“Can I try something?” He whispered.

I nodded, my heart beating a million times per second.

I felt his lips on mine, and my head exploded. My stomach flipped, and a warmth spread through my body. I slid my hands around his neck as he kissed me harder. I played with his hair. It was so soft.

One of his hands was on my waist, the other holding himself up next to my head. His legs were rested on mine, and obviously, his lips against mine.

“Oi! We brought pizza!” Someone called from the top of the stairs. Dylan jumped back from me and I sat up quickly.

“Why are you on the floor?” Nate asked as he walked around the corner.

I just stared straight ahead, breathing heavily.

“Hey you look like you saw a ghost what’s the matter?” Nate said quickly, kneeling down next to me.

“Nothing’s the matter.” I said, laughing a bit. “Nothing is the matter at all.” I muttered, standing up.

The guys gave me weird looks but I just stood up with a smile on my face.

“So! How were all your dinners?” I asked happily, walking over to the pizza.

“Good?” Ryan said, looking at me as if I had two heads.

“What?” I laughed, taking a bite of pizza.

“You’re happy.”

“And?”

“It’s weird.”

“Let her be happy if she wants to be happy.” Dylan laughed, walking behind me to take a piece of pizza.

I heard someone walking down the stairs, and the guys backed up quickly as my mom came down the stairs.

I turned to look at her, as did Dylan.

“I made brownies!” She said, putting the tray on the counter.

“Ah awesome! Thanks Mrs. Carson!” Dylan said happily, walking over and taking one.

“No problem. Just let me know if you guys need anything else.” She smiled, then went back upstairs.

“Ooh yum!” I said, taking one for myself.

“Are they poisoned?” Nate joked, walking over.

“Why’s your mom so happy?” Ryan asked.

I shrugged.

“I don’t know and I don’t care.” I laughed.
