This Guy

Chapter 21-It Wasn't A Dream!

I looked at him, only to find him asleep!

This whole time he'd been fast asleep!

Don't tell me, I've been talking to his unconscious state this whole time!

Great, when am I going to get enough guts again to tell him?

After that rant, he wasn't awake to hear any of it?! I dropped my head, my hands holding onto my hair.

"Ryan?"

I looked over at him, he was stretching, he just now woke up.

Why didn't you wake up like, 5 minutes ago? Huh Shane? WHY?!

I sighed, and looked up at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, his face full of concern.

I shook my head,"Nothing."

He nudged me,"C'mon, spill it. What's wrong?"

I just sighed again, and shook my head, again.

He frowned,"What is it that you don't want to tell me?"

Why does he want to know so bad?

"Shane, just drop it."

He nodded,"Alright, I understand."

"Thanks."

"Sure. You know, I had the weirdest dream..." he trailed off.

"Want to share?" I asked

"Yup!" he said, eagerly.

I motioned for him to go on with my hands.

"Well, don't call me desperate but, I had a dream tha-" Shane started, but got cut off by Joey coming in.

"Ryan!I need you out helping right now! Pronto!' she ordered.

I looked at Shane, but before I could say anything Joey had already came in and pulled me out of the room, by holding onto my wrist.

"Shane!" I yelled. Joey's grip on my wrist tightened. I struggled, trying to get out of her deathly wrath.

"Ryan!" He shouted back. I managed to loosen my wrist, a little bit.

"Don't take him away from me!" I shouted. Joey rolled her eyes.

"RYAN! My love! I shall see you again!"

I laughed at how he had said it. Joey continued to pull me, until we reached a room.

She opened the door, with her free hand, and let go of my wrist.

She let out a breath and she looked at me.

"Ryan before you turn around and go in there to help, I need to talk to you real quick."

I nodded, and said,"Okay, go ahead."

She cracked into a smile and said,"You like Shane don't you? Well you know what? You have my blessing."

I blushed. "Joey I-"

"Don't deny it! it's so clear! Well anyway, I want you to go in there and help the girls with their homework."

I nodded and said,"Thank you Joey."

She winked at me and left, walking down the hall.

To be honest, I felt relived of what Joey said. Joey's like my second mom. So knowing that she likes Shane, makes me happy. And hopeful about my mom liking him too.

I smiled at the thought. But then I frowned, as the thought I have not accepted him yet, came into my mind.

Oh well, I'll deal with it later.

I turned around and went in to help the girls with there homework.

***

That wasn't so bad. I had to help them with science, and since its my favorite subject, I did it with ease.

It was time to go, so I grabbed my bag and the twin's bag from the cubbie.

I slung both bags over my shoulder, and hiked the strap up higher.

"Twins! Lets go!" I shouted.

While I waited for the twins, I texted Macy.

Come over??

Macy replied as soon as I texted her.

Yeh sure. I'll be there in a few.

The twins ran out, Ty holding a juice box, and Chase holding a cookie.

"Let's go Ry!" Ty yelled.

"Yeh!" Chase chanted.

I smiled and yelled,"Bye Joey! Shane!"

And with that we left.

***

I plopped on my bed as soon as I got home.

I'm so tired. I pulled out my phone and texted Shane.

Hey.

Ding!

Macy texted me, telling me she can't come over. I tell her it's fine.

So I spent the rest if the afternoon texting Shane.

Hey Ryan.

So tell me about that dream of yours?

Okay, but don't laugh...

I won't. Go ahead.

Okay. I quote you from my dream...

Wow you remember your dream!!!

I felt touched. He remembered. Is it because it was about me? Stop it Ryan! you're being conceited.

Of course because you're in it.

I blushed while reading it. So I was right... he remembered it because it was about me. I smiled.

...

I waited, and after a while he sent me this.

:) okay here it goes..."Shane, I've been thinking. About your question... I like you. Alot. I've had a lot of crushes before, but never one like this one. I just want you to know that, I'm one hot mess, before you get the answer. And obviously my answer is yes." You also added, "Shane you're so sexy! "

I gasped. That's exactly what I said! Except that last part.. Just as I was about to tell him that I really did say that, my phone dies.

NOOOO!!! WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?!

I throw my phone on the ground in anger, and then think, I need that! Why did I throw it?

So I quickly get off the bed and pick my phone up. I walk over to my nightstand, and plug in the charger.

Now I have to wait. All eternity.

***

Finally! It's done charging! Well not really... It has 2%. But that's enough.

I grabbed the phone, careful not to yank it off the charger.

I opened up the text message app, and pulled up Shane's name.

I typed:

Shane! Oh my god! It wasn't a dream! I said that! But I didn't realize you were asleep when I said it... so... will you accept me?

***

HILLO! I love these cliff hangers, don't you? Don't kill me! I wanted to try and do suspense in the end... Well PM me or comment below, on what you think is going to happen.

XOXO

AND REMEMBER NOO! THE PHONES OUT OF BATTERY!!!
