Unexpected Love

Making Plans

Belles POV

I barge into Emma's room a little earlier than she usually wakes up, I had to tell her what happened last night.  I wanted to tell her last night, but I know she would have just passed out on me talking.

“Em, Scott asked me out, and I couldn’t say no!  We are going out with just the two of us.”  I say excited

“That is so cool.” She says acting like she doesn’t care.

“Wake up sleepy head, I have stuff to tell you, and I know you want to know!”

“Ok, I’m up.”

“So last night we were sharing a beer, and he took it to take a drink, and I wanted a drink, so he asked what I would do for it.  I didn’t say anything.  He said, if you want it, kiss me, so I do.  Only it was more than a kiss.  He gave me the beer, and I took a drink, and then as I was handing it back to him, he asked me out.”

“That is cute, I’m so happy to see you happy.”

“So tell me your story, is he a good kisser?”

“Well ours isn’t as cute as your story.  He asked me, but you know how my ears are so ticklish.  Well, he whispered in my ear, and I just giggled, I didn’t hear what he said.  Then he said, I’ll take that as a no.  When I asked him to repeat it, he wouldn’t.  I had to explain to him that my ears are ticklish, and that I didn’t hear what he asked.  He then asked what I thought about him, and if I wanted to be his girlfriend.  I didn’t even say yes Belle, I said, we can try that!  I’m a complete idiot.” 

“So is he a good kisser?”

‘“We didn’t even kiss, he kissed my cheek, and then when we got home last night, we kissed, but it wasn’t what you and Scott were doing!  If you must know, his lips do taste good though.”

“I stayed up all night almost talking to him, I might beat you home today, just so I can sleep.”  I said with a smile.

“Oh, that reminds me, I think I fell asleep last night while we were texting.”  She says with a smile.

“Only you would do that.”

We both then get ready for the day.

Emmas POV

After Belle leaves my room, I look at my phone and I see 4 text messages.  All from Ryan.  Two were from last night, and then two were from this morning. 

Good morning babe, hope you slept good. ~Ryan

I hope I didn’t keep you up to late last night that you overslept today.  I didn’t scare you off did I?  ~Ryan

Oh no, now he thinks he scared me off.

Good morning, sorry about last night, I’m one of those people that fall asleep as soon as they hit the pillow. ~Emma

And no, you didn’t scare me off. ~Emma

Ok, that is taken care of.  I get ready for work, and grab everything I need.  As I’m locking the door I hear my phone go off, I check the text message.  It is from Ryan.

I’m glad to hear that, have a great day at work, will try to text you throughout the day.  ~Ryan

I will, you do the same. ~Emma

Work went by, and I get home and see Belle's car in the driveway.  I know she is probably sleeping, so I just walk in, and go shower, and climb into bed myself.  I had a long night last night, and I needed to catch up on some sleep.

After sleeping for what only felt like 20 minutes, I realized it was a little over an hour.  

“Belle?”  I call  “If we are going to eat dinner, we need to get that going now!”

“I’m in the living room, I thought you left me for Ryan.”  She says trying to sound sad.

“I was sleeping, what’s for dinner?”

“I’m thinking mexican, and that isn’t a great first date food.” She says.

“That sounds good, are we going to do doordash?”  I asked

“DUH, unless you want to go pick it up!”

“Well you know what I want, so order it, and I’ll make tea.”

We then eat and watch tv.  After we get everything cleaned up from dinner, I go and grab my phone.  I forget that someone actually talks to me now besides Emma!

When I get my phone I have some text messages and a missed call.  It was all Ryan.

I explain to him that I fell asleep once I got home, and I told him that usually the only person to text me was Emma, so I usually don’t keep my phone on me once I’m home.  I did tell him I’ll try and do better at checking it.

Do you want to make plans for Tuesday night? ~Ryan

That sounds fun.  I can try and leave work a little early so I can take a shower.  What if we just do dinner, and talk? ~Emma

I was thinking you could come to my house tomorrow after work.  You don’t need to leave work early, you could shower at my place, and we can order in, and just watch a movie and talk.  ~Ryan

I didn’t know what to say.  I went to show Belle, and she wants me out of the house so she can make plans for Scott to come over tomorrow night.

I didn’t mean anything bad by that.  I just thought if we were at my house we could talk without interruption.  We can go out and get dinner if that makes you feel better. ~Ryan

No, your house is fine.  Just because I don’t answer right away, you don’t have to think something bad is going on in my head.  I notice you do that a lot. ~Emma

I do, all the guys say I don’t think before I speak, so if I don’t get the response I want in a couple of seconds, I start to regret what I say. ~Ryan.

We spent the rest of the night talking, and making plans for tomorrow.  I really do like him.
