Sunday morning
Emma's POV
We wake up to a knock on our door. "Belle, I think we missed check out!" I yell fanatic.
"I don't think that is how it works." She hisses half asleep.
I go over and check, nope it is Ryan and Scott.
"Good morning. Aren't you missing someone?"
"No, he does family stuff on Sundays, so he left." Scott says
I let them in, and go to change into some shorts while Belle makes coffee. I come out, and Belle is sitting on Scott's lap. I move over to the bed, and start packing up while we all talk. I hear them making plans that include me, but no one is asking if I'm alright with it. Once we leave the hotel, we go home. I just lay down on the couch, and doze off. My phone wakes me up.
I need your address if I'm picking you up tonight. -Ryan.
Address? Why and where are we going? I don't leave my house after 6 on Sunday nights.
I go to talk to Belle. "Why is Ryan picking me up tonight?"
"We are all going out, but it is downtown, and we are taking 1 car. Ryan is driving."
“Where are we going, and why doesn’t anyone ever ask me if I have plans or want to go? I whine.
“It is you, all you do is stay home.” Belle responds with a snap
“Ok, where are we going?”
“It is a surprise, they won’t tell us, unlike you, I don’t need to know everything, and I don’t need 3 weeks to make plans.”
I send him our address, and then we go get ready.
We both agree on jean shorts, and a white tank top. We both do our hair, and makeup. We then hear a knock on the door, and Belle goes to answer the door.
“Hey hunn, you look nice.” I hear her say.
We walk to the car, Scott and Belle gets in the back, so I’m left to sit up front with Ryan.
“Where are we going?” I ask
“It is a surprise, you will find out once we get there.
Once downtown, we finally find a parking lot with open spots. We get out of the car, and Scott and Ryan both hand us something. It is a Cardinals jersey.
“Surprise!” They both yelled.
We all walk to the gate, and find our seats, once we get our seats, the guys leave to go get food and drinks.
“Did you know about this?” I ask Belle
“No, they just said to wear something comfy, and no heels. If this is what a date with them is like, I’m not complaining.” She says with a smile.
“It is nice, but I don’t think it is a date.”
Once they get back, we all eat and talk. Once the game starts no one was listening to us. Ryan then whispers something in my ear, but I was so thrown off I giggled because it tickled, I didn’t even hear what he said.
“Is that a no then?” He asked.
“What? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.”
“No, it is ok, I don’t need you to change your answer because of my response.” He said with his head down.
“Ryan, I didn’t hear you, I was caught off guard and it tickled when you whispered into my ear, I didn’t hear a thing you said. I promise.”
“I asked what you thought of me, like if you wanted to be my girlfriend,”
Oh my gosh, how did this happen? No wonder he didn’t want to repeat himself. We have never kissed, or anything. Am I even ready for a boyfriend? I mean it isn’t like I shouldn’t have one. Do I want him to be my boyfriend? What do I say?
“We can try that, I mean I do like you. I guess I just never thought about a relationship with you.” I said hopeful.
I took another drink, and realized that I had to go to the bathroom.
“Belle?” I said. I look past Ryan to see Belle's tongue down Scotts throat.
I get up and walk away, as I walk past, I see Belle looking at me, I give her the look and she gets up and follows me. As we walk to the bathroom, I was going to tell her what happened to me.
“Guess what?” She yells
“What? You like Scott?” I answer
“He asked me out, and I said yes!” She responds
“Are you kidding me? Ryan asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend.” I said with a smile
“What did you say? Wait, don’t tell me if you said no. You didn’t say no did you?” She rushed
“No, I said we can give it a try.”
“That is so cool, not only are we best friends, now we are best friends dating best friends, and we share an anniversary.” She said with the biggest grin
“Yeah, only Ryan and I share a birthday and now we started dating the day after our birthday, this can’t be good.” I said, sounding sad.
“Think about it like this, at least you don’t have to worry about what to get him for his birthday any time soon!” She said, trying to sound optimistic.
Once we get back to our seat, Ryan gives me a peck on the check. I think I can get use to this. I mean, he has never tried to rush things, and I don’t have a problem talking to him. The game ends, and yes, we won 7-3, we all walk back to the car. Ryan and I sit up front, and Scott and Belle sit in the back. I don’t even want to look behind me. Ryan places his hand on my leg, and I lightly glaze his fingers with mine. He then looks at me and smiles, it is at the moment I notice his eyes for the first time. They are hazel in color, they go perfect with his whole face. He then grabs my hand, and I don’t fight it. Maybe I am starting to like him more than I lead on. On the way home, there isn’t much talking, but he does ask me if I want to make plans later on in the week or even over the weekend.
Once we get home, Ryan opens my door for me, which I think is so sweet. I unlock the door, because I’m not even sure Belle knows we are home. We go inside, and we kiss, it wasn’t long, but his lips taste good.
“I’ll text you once I get home. Thank you for tonight.” He says before walking out the door.
“Thank you, and I’ll be waiting.” I said with a smile.
Great, why did I say I would be waiting? Now I sound like I have no life. About that time Belle walks in and she is on cloud 9. I haven’t seen her this happy in a long time.
“I’m glad to see you are happy.” I said
“I’ll tell you about it tomorrow, I know you won’t stay awake to hear about it all.” She said.
“Ok, good night.”
“Good night.”
I get in my bedroom, and change into my pajamas, and crawl into bed. I start to doze off, and my phone goes off.
Hey babe, I hope you had fun tonight. ~Ryan
Hey, yes I did. Just so you know, my bedtime is 10:00, and it is way past that, so if I stop responding that is why. ~Emma
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make Cinderella out past midnight. Get some sleep, I’ll text you in the morning. ~Ryan
I wanted him to text me till I fell asleep, I wanted to wake up with a couple text messages from him.
No, it is ok, you can still talk, I was just letting you know that if I stop responding that is why. ~Emma
Well then if that is the case, lets talk about our next date. This one I want to be just you and me. ~Ryan
Well, I get off work around 5 each night, besides Fridays, I get off at 3:30. What about you? Weekends also work great for me. ~Emma
I get off at 5 every night, and weekends usually work for me. ~Ryan
What did you have in mind? Dinner, movie, what? That makes a difference. ~E
I don’t know, I figured we could agree on something, if we both get off at 5, we can meet for dinner, then go from there. ~R
Just so you know, I work at a hospital, I have to go home and shower and change and get ready. So if we do dinner it would be almost 7 before we could meet. ~E
I don’t want to wait till Friday to see you again. I’m sure we can figure something out between now and Friday. ~R
I guess you fell asleep, sleep well babe. I’ll text you when I get up in the morning. ~R
