• *Riiiiing*



    I grabbed my phone from under my pillow and answered it "Melow?" [hello?] I said muffled since my face was shoved into my pillow.



    I heard chuckling from the other line "Hello to you too Rae" the sweetly familiar voice said between chuckles.



    My heart skipped a beat, his laugh was the best sound I have ever heard. "Yeah, so... what's up?" I asked.



    "Oh just the ceiling" he said nonchalantly. I giggled a bit at his lame joke. I shuffled my way out of bed and sat up.



    "Ha ha ha" I said humourlessly. "So why'd you call me?" I asked looking at my clock; it was seven minutes past six.



    I heard shuffling sounds on the line. I'm guessing that he was still in bed. "Well I was wondering if I could eat breakfast at your house," he said shyly.



    I giggled "well it's good to know that you'll wake me up early in the morning just to tell me you want to gobble up our food supply" I joked while walking to my vanity mirror.



    "Come on Rae, you know how much I love... your banana and chocolate chip pancakes" he said but hesitated a bit.



    I wish you'd love me too not just my pancakes I thought.



    "Hmmm..." I hummed as I started brushing my hair "what's the magic wooord?" I asked playfully while removing the knots out of my hair.



    "Umm... you are the most awesome friend ever that will willing make me pancakes" he joked, chuckling a bit.



    I rolled my eyes "Pfft, close enough. It's please, dumbo. I said word not phrase."I said whilst making my way out of my room.



    "okay then. Pleeeeeaaassssee make me some pancakes," he said hopefully. I laughed a bit when he dragged the word please.



    "yes your majesty, your wish is my command." I said heading towards the kitchen. I heard him mumble something but didn't quite hear it "what was that?" I asked.



    "oh. umm.. t'was nothing. I'll be over there in a bit my Queen" he said and hung up.



    I felt my cheeks burn, he just called me his Queen!



    I quickly made the pancakes, after making six pancakes I heard someone ring the doorbell "It's open" I shouted. I heard the door open and the sound of heavy footsteps filled the silent house.



    "Mornin' Rae" Andrew greeted as he entered the kitchen "and Gooooooooooood mornin' pancakes" he added as he took a seat on a stool by the counter.



    I rolled my eyes and turned off the stove and placed the stack of pancakes on the counter "Good morning Drew" I said and took a seat beside him.



    "I'm deeply hurt by the way you greeted my pancakes more enthusiastically than the way you greet me." I said placing a hand on my heart and mocked hurt.



    He rolled his eyes then smirked "Well then let's rewind" he said standing up and he walked out the kitchen.



    After a few seconds he re-entered the kitchen looking at the pancakes with disgust "hello pancakes" he said dryly. I rolled my eyes trying not to laugh.



    He stopped mid way and looked at me and a goofy grin spread across his face "And a supercalifragelistic mornin' to you Raemarie" he said and went back to sit beside me.



    I rolled my eyes playfully and started munching down my share of the pancakes. I felt him stare at me so I looked at him and asked "What?" cocking an eye brow at him.



    "Ahhhh~" he said his mouth wide-open leaning forward to me. I giggled a bit at his childish antics.



    "you're a big boy now Drew, you should learn how to eat by yourself." I cooed while patting his cheek playfully.



    He pouted and looked at me with his infamous puppy dog eyes while batting his eyelashes at me "pwetty pwease" he asked like a little five-year old girl.



    That is so adorable! I shook my head in defeat. I took a slice of the pancake and raised it to Andrew "Open wide now Drew, here comes the Black BMW" I playfully cooed then smirked.



    He rolled his eyes but ate the pancake anyway.



    Once we were done eating he insisted on washing the dishes so I left him to it. I made my way towards the living room plopping myself down on the couch, grabbing the remote, and turning on the T.V.



    I felt the couch dip a bit and I saw that Andrew had just seated himself beside me "wanna go swimmin' ?" he asked full attention to the T.V. watching SpongeBob's and Patrick's crazy antics.



    I groaned and shifted so that my face was shoved into the armrest "Ham who hazy" [I'm too lazy] I said muffled.



    "Oh no lazy butt we're going swimming whether you like it or not." he said lifting me and slung me on on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.



    "Put. Me. Down!" I said slowly and menacingly as I can while flailing like a fish out of water and trying to ignore the rapid beating of my heart.



    "Ooohhh I am so scared, I'm shaking," he said in mock horror.



    I sighed in defeat and stopped flailing "okay fine" I said exasperatedly "put me down now so I can get changed" I said and he followed, putting me down to the floor.



    "Aren't you going to get some clothes?" I asked as we walked to my room.



    He shrugged "Nah. No need, I can swim in what I'm wearing now," he said.



    I looked at him from head to toe. He was wearing some basketball shorts and a plain white T-shirt.



    "ohhh... you go ahead then I'm just gonna change" I said as I entered my room. He shrugged and went down stairs.



    I peeled off my pajamas and wore black shorts and a V-neck T-shirt. I put on some sunscreen and tied my curly hair into a high ponytail.



    After getting ready I made my way to our pool. When I got there, Andrew already started swimming.



    "Hey" I said as I walked towards the pool. I just sat at the edge of the pool dipping my feet in them.



    "hey" he said sitting beside me "not gonna swim?" he asked me. I shook my head in response.



    He sighed heavily "I didn't want to do this but you left me no choice" he said solemnly and then he suddenly shoved me into the pool.



    I grabbed onto his arm quickly pulling him with me to the pool.



    I gasped for air flailing to find the edge of the pool. I felt warm hands grab onto my hips.



    Andrew pulled me closer to him enveloping me in his warmth fighting against the freezing temperature of the water.



    "I'm sorry" he said his warm breath fanning my face.



    I looked into his eyes. They were staring into mine intently then he lowered his gaze down to my lips, I did the same looking into his full lips.



    He inched forward are lips brushed against each other's for a few moments instantly sending sparks throughout my body.



    He moved back, climbed onto the edge of the pool, and quickly paced away.



    I got out as well following him. Half way through the yard he stopped, I stopped as well waiting for what's going to happen next.



    "I-I'm afraid to fall Rae" he said hesitantly, his back facing me.



    It took me a few moments to realize what he meant by that.



    "Don't be afraid, please" I said and walked towards him shortening the distance between us.



    "Just jump then fall into me, I'll be there. I'm never gonna leave you" I said holding on to his hand.



    He turned to face me and pulled me into a gentle hug, his chin rested on top of my head "Rae..." he said then inhaled deeply "I've loved you for a long time and I still do." he continued.



    I looked up to him I stood on the tip of my toes and are lips met sending another round of sparks throughout my body. He hugged me tighter and kissed me more passionately.



    He pulled back after a while and looked at me "Thank you for catching Me." he whispered into my ear and buried his face into the crook of my neck.



    I blushed and then smiled "and thank you for falling" I replied.
