Proposal

Chapter 4, Dinner and Movie

“Ok, are you ready to go”, Steven said, putting his phone back in his pocket. She nodded her head yes. He got up off her bed and walked over to her. He smiled and grabbed her hand, pulling her right behind him. When they got to the truck, Steven opens the door for her again. She got right in and waited for Steven to get in. When he did, he started the truck and drove out of the driveway.

Gemma could not deal with the silence in the car. She turned on the radio and found the station she liked. When she got there, one of her songs was playing. She started to sing it. Steven looked over at her and smiled. “You have a good voice”, he said, still keeping his eyes on the road. She turned to look at him, “Thanks, music always helps when things are bad”, she said, looking back out the window.

When they got to the restaurant, they both got out, and Gemma was already headed to the door. Steven caught up with her. He pulled open the door for her. She smiled and walked in. They were greeted right away when they walked in. “Good afternoon. Is it just two”, the lady said. “Yes”, they both said at the same time. The lady motioned them to follow her to the table. She walked them over to a booth. She put their menus in front of them. “Your waitress will be with you in a minute”, the lady said. They both smiled and looked at the menu. Gemma already knew what she was going to get. It had been a long time since she had been here. “Get what you want my treat”, Steven said over his menu. Gemma was not sure if she should let him pay for her. But she also did not want to make him mad.

After a while, another lady came over. She had on a tight shirt that was showing a bit of boob. She was skinny and had a good height on her. Soon as she saw Steven, she smiled at him. But she did not pay any attention to me. “What can I get for you for drinks”, she said, leaning on the table. I rolled my eyes. Steven looked for a minute, then he looked at me. “What do you want, baby”, he said.

“I'll have a bud light lime beer”, I said, looking at the girl. Steven narrowed his eyes at me. Then he looked at the waitress, “she will do a sprite”, he said. I leaned back in my seat and crossed my arms over my chest. He told her what he would have as well. But she did not leave right away. She was trying to talk to him, but he was not listening to her. She left after a while, but she did not look so happy.

“Why did you do that”, I asked with my arms still crossed. He looked at me, tilting his head to the side a little. “What do you mean?" he said. “Why did you change my order for my drink”, she said. He smiled, “Because you don't need to be drinking. Plus, who knows what might happen with you being with me, like that”, Steven said, looking at the shirt that she had on. She narrowed her eyes at him. “You would not do anything to me, she said, glaring at him.

He looked at her and leaned back in his seat. “How do you know I would not”, he said, trying to get to her more. “Because you need my help. You would not want to ruin that”, she said. He shrugged his shoulders at her. The waiter came back with their drinks. She tried to get Steven to look at her, but he had none of it. I liked that he was not paying attention to her.

We did not talk for a while, but then he broke the silence. “So is there anything else I need to know about you”, he said, leaning back in the booth. “No, I don't think so. You guys seem to know everything about me. Which I do not appreciate, by the way. Wait a minute”, she said, looking at Steven like something had just occurred to her. Steven did not say anything, he was waiting for her to finish what she needed to say. “Yes, what is it”, he said.

She looked at him and narrowed her eyes. “Were you and your brother watching from my window or just what? How did you get all the info”, Gemma said, waiting for him to tell her. Steven did not say anything, he just had a big smile on his face. “Why do you ask? Are you afraid we might have seen something we should not have”, he said, leaning forward in his seat.

She just kept looking at him. If looks could kill, he would be gone by now. “Do you think we would catch you changing or something”, he said, smiling. “You better not have. I will kill you for that”, Gemma said, pointing a finger at him. He smiled, “You act like this shy girl. But inside you are this nice feisty girl. You are also very tough and know how to throw a punch. But you are this kind of badass who is very hot with that skull and rose tattoo on your back. But also you can't forget the wolf on your stomach just near your belly”, he said, smirking at her, waiting for her to yell at him. Gemma’s eyes went wide. “I am so going to kill you. Steven, how could you? How much did you see”, she said with a murderous look in her eyes.

“Do you want me to answer that,” he said while getting death glares from Gemma. She was not sure if she wanted him to. But she could already see what he was talking about and what he saw already. “Let's just say that they are not that bad of a size. They should fit pretty nicely in my hands”, he said, smiling at her. Her mouth hit the floor when he said that. She was not sure what to say about that.

She did not say anything to him. The lady came out with their food on the plate. Gemma was still looking at Steven with wide eyes. She would not move a muscle. “Would you stop worrying and eat your food? You have great curves. I don't see why you don't show them off in school. Maybe you might make some friends if you did”, Steven said, starting to eat his food. Gemma did not say anything to him. She just ate her food, trying not to kill him in her mind.

When they were done eating, they sat there for a while longer. When the check finally came, the waiter winked at Steven. She left her number on the check for him. But what Gemma did not expect him to do was leave it there on the table. “Don't you want to keep that,” Gemma said, pointing at his cheek. He shook his head no. When they got to the truck, Gemma got in. She looked over at Steven. “What is going on? How come you are blowing everyone off? You are not acting like a bad boy”, she said, looking at him.

He raised a brow at her, “I have no idea what you are talking about”, he said, starting the car to drive back to Gemma’s house. As they were riding back to Gemma’s place. Steven could not help that Gemma was a little quiet right now. “I am going to stay with you for the night. It is getting dark and I don't feel like driving to my house. Plus, I don't want to leave you alone with your parents”, he said, keeping his eyes on the road. Gianna raised her brow at him.

“Will your parents care if you stay and what about your brother? Won't he be mad if we left him out”, Gemma said, looking over at him. “No, my parents will not care. And I will text Nash letting him know I am staying with you just in case your parents try something”, he said, grabbing her hand and bringing it to his lips, and kissing the back of it. Gemma let out a sigh and looked back out the window, “Fine, I don't care. I will be living with you anyway. I might as well get used to it”, she said. Steven put a smile on his face.

When they pulled up into the driveway, Gemma saw that her father was home now. “Great dad is home”, Gemma said. Steven smiled and looked at her. “Hey, I am still here. Just tell the truth and don't let him change your answer”, Steven said. She took another sigh and pushed out her door. She waited for Steven at the head of the truck. He got out and grabbed her hand, and they both walked to the door.

Gemma unlocks the door and pushes it open. Soon as they were in, they heard her parents talking. As they heard the door close, they stopped talking to each other. They heard Gemma’s dad loud voice. “Gemma, get in here now”, he said. She rolled her eyes as she walked into the living room. Soon as she came around the corner, she saw her parents sitting on the couch. Dad did not look happy.

“Yes, dad what is it”, Gemma said. “What is this about you moving out to live with your boyfriend”, he said. Gemma stayed calm and just told her what she said to her mom. “Yes, I am going to live with him. We have been dating for a year or more and I feel like it is time for me to move out of here”, Gemma said.

Gemma’s dad looked at Steven. “Who’s idea was this for her to move”, he said, glaring at Steven. “It was both our ideas but she thought of it first”, Steven said. “Dad, I have already started to pack up my things. I will be out of here by Friday. You are not going to change my mind. I am 18 now so I have a say about where I live and what I can do”, Gemma said.

Gemma’s dad was not saying anything else. “Fine, if you want to be poor, then be my guess. But don't you dare come back here for anything”, he said. Gemma did not say anything, she just nodded her head and pulled Steven up to her room. When she got to the first stare she looked over her shoulder and said, “Oh and he is staying for the night”, she said over her shoulder with a smirk on her lips. No one said a thing. Gemma just pulled Steven up the stairs with her. When she got to her room, she walked in with Steven still behind her.

“I never thought you would talk to your parents like that”, he said, sitting next to her on the bed. “Yeah, you and me both. I will be back, just going to change. Do you want anything? I have some leftover clothes from family coming to see us”, Gemma said, getting up and walking to her closet. She walked in and shut the door behind her.

She looked to see what she had. She was not going to wear what she usually wears because Steven would have something to say about it. Plus, she did not want to deal with him teasing her. But she could not find anything that would keep him away from her. So she just puts on what she wears all the time. Pulled on a tank top with some short shorts.

When she was done, she walked out of her closet and to the bathroom. Steven was still lying on his back on her bed. She walked in and turned on the sink. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. She brushes her hair as well before going out of the bathroom. When she walked out, Steven was at least sitting up.

When Steven finally looked up his eyes got more black. She shook her head, “Don’t you dare say anything. You keep quiet”, she said, pointing her fingers at him. He just put his hands in the air, surrendering to her. “I told Nash what was going on. He said he was fine with it and he could see where I was coming from”, Steven said, putting his phone on the nightstand by the bed. She smiled and walked over to the bed.

She pulled the covers down so she could crawl into bed. Steven got up and walked over to the other side and he took off his jacket and shoes while sliding off his shirt over his head. Gemma did not look at him, she was pulling up Netflix on her laptop. When Gemma finally looked up she saw that he was undoing his belt to his pants. “Do you have to do that”, she said, frowning. Steven chuckled at what she said.

“I think you will live. Get used to it, you will be living with us for a long while”, he said, crawling into bed under the covers with her. He pulled the covers so it was at least covering up his legs. Gemma tried not to stare at him, but she could not help it. With his six-pack on display. Steven leaned into her ear, “You can touch if you want, I don't mind”, he said with a smirk. Gemma did not say anything, she just shook her head and looked back at her laptop.

She found one that she likes and she knows that he will like it too. The movie was Hobs and Shows. It is a comedy, so there are a lot of funny things in it. She leaned back on the pillow and put the laptop on Steven's lap. She likes to move and not have to deal with it on her lap. He looked over at her, “If you don’t move closer to me. You will not like what I will do later”, he said.

She raised a brow at him. “Try it and you will be sleeping on the couch”, she said with a raised eyebrow. “You can try to kick me there. But you still will not like what I do”, he said, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. She shook her head but she did move closer to him just to get him to behave. But since it's, Steven will still try a few things. She moved her head and put it on his chest with her hands on his stomach. “Is this better for you”, she said. He smiled and put one arm around her, pulling her in more.

“Yes, much better”, he said, smiling to himself.

They watched the movie for a long time. Halfway through, Steven could feel that Gemma was starting to fall asleep. He said quietly to her, “We can finish this movie tomorrow if you are tired”. She shook her head. “No, I am fine. It is ok, why are you tired”, she said, moving her head just a little to look up at him. He laughed which sent a chill down her spine. “No I am not, but I can see that you are falling asleep”, he said, rubbing her back. She took a sigh “Yeah ok, I am a little tired. Ok fine, we can finish it tomorrow”, she said, closing the laptop and letting Steven put it on the nightstand near the bed. Steven slid down more on the bed so his head was now on the pillow. Gemma was not sure if she wanted to stay like that or roll over and be by her side.

She gave it a few mins, then she decided she would move onto her side. She rolled over and lay on her side with her back to Steven. She was thinking about the day when she felt an arm come around her waist. She took a sigh and did not say anything. “Is everything ok baby”, Steven said. She looked over her shoulder at him. “Yeah, just thinking about things”, Gemma said, smiling at him. He smiled and moved closer to her. “Are you thinking about me”, he said with a smile.

She rolled her eyes at him but he could not see her. “Half of that is true. I am thinking about my day and since you were on it. Yeah, I am thinking about you”, she said. He pulled her closer to him. He had his face in the crook of her neck. “Let me guess you are thinking about how hot I am. You are thinking about me without my boxers on”, Steven said. Gemma turned around and playfully hit him on his arm. “Stop that. No, I was not. You just wish I was”, she said, turning back around and lying back down.

He smiled and put his arm back around her. “If you want to see me without boxers, all you have to do is ask me. But I will probably not want to do it alone. You have to make it even for me”, he said, smirking into her hair. “No, I am not doing that. Anyway, you technically already saw me like that. And I am not letting that happen again, any time soon”, she said. Steven took a sigh and put his head back on the cook of her neck.

“Fine, but you might want to stop talking about this”, he said. Her eyebrows moved together. “Why”, she said. Steven laughed, then he moved a little so she would feel the semi-hard member in his boxer he was getting. Her eyes were almost about to fall out of her head. She jumped out of bed and gave him the most death glare known to man. “What, you were the one that asked. So don't be getting all mad at me now”, he said with a smirk on his face.

“I am so not going to have this talk with you. So either you move over and keep your hands to yourself or go fix that before I kick you, to the couch. And I know you will not like that”, she said, still glaring at him. “Ok fine, I will not touch you, at least not yet”, he said. Gemma was still looking at him with a beath glair. “Steven”, she said with a louder voice. He did not say anything else to her. He just rolled over and let her have her side of the bed. “Fine, I will try my best to not do anything wrong”, he said.

She gave him the look for a few more minutes, then she gave up and crawled back into bed. She turned off the light and got settled into bed. But, of course, Steven is Steven and when has he ever listened to anything? He rolled back over and put his arm over her. “Don’t think you can get out of it that easily”, he said, kissing her cheek. Gemma was not in the mood to try and fight him about it. So she let it go, and she also let it go since he calms down.
