tongue tied (Karl x oc)

twelve

"Come on Riley!" Karl shouted with a chuckle as I fell from my skateboard, "I can't do it.." I stayed on the floor and glanced up at him, he put his hand out to help me up, I took it and stood up, wiping my pants, "Okay, stand on your board.." Karl held my hands as I stood up on the skateboard, I looked up at him with a small smile, "Now...jump but push it back with your dominant foot at the same time.." Karl looked down at my feet holding my hands as I tried but failed yet again, Karl looked up into my eyes again, a small chuckle escaped his lips,
"That's okay Ri, we'll keep practicing together, try again.." I smiled at him and looked back down at my board, trying it once more, this time tripping over my skateboard, Karl caught me but we both managed to fall, laughter left our mouths as we hit the floor, we both glanced at each other and continued to chuckle. I picked up my phone as we stood up, it was almost ten thirty crap.
"I gotta go home Karl, mom's going to flip.." I picked up my skateboard and Karl and I walked towards my car together.

"Well thank you..for having me over, and the pizza.." I looked up at Jimmy's tall figure as we stood at his front door, he looked down at me with a soft smile,
"Anytime. I like hanging out with you.." Jimmy expressed to me and I felt my cheeks get warmer, I looked into his blue eyes this time, Jimmy stared at me with a hesitant look, "Well I guess I should get going then huh..?" I bit my lip, Jimmy nodded, "Yeah of course, text me when you get home okay..?" I turned around and nodded, "I will do..thanks again.." He opened the door for me and watched me as I walked out to my car. I got into my car and Jimmy watched me as I drove away, he really was a sweetheart.

"Hey siri! Text pain in my butt." I shouted as I drove home, turning out of Jimmy's street.
"What would you like to say?" Siri asked me,
"I'm on my way home."
"Your message says, i'm on my way horn..would you like to send it?" I rolled my eyes, "Cancel. Text Karl, I'm on my way home."
"Your message says, i'm on my way home, would you like to send it?"
"Send."
"It's sent."
My phone chimed after only a minute, I grinned to myself as I turned onto our street. I pulled into our driveway. Karl's head peeked out the window and he waved at me, I rolled my eyes at the dork, hurrying my way inside.

"Ri! Grey and I were just talking about how bored we were, with no wifi and all.." Karl greeted me as I stepped into our house, Grey meowed as if in agreement with him, I rolled my eyes at him and placed my purse up on the coat hanger.
"Im sure you figured out a way to entertain yourselves, you get pretty creative." I chuckled as I walked over to the staircase, Karl and Grey both followed me upstairs to my bedroom. I fell onto my bed and Karl joined me, Grey hopping up a few moments after. I looked over at Karl,
"So how is Mia..?" He asked me,
"She's fine, we watched some tv, and had pizza."
"That's cooooollll.." Karl played with a strand of his hair, I placed my hand under my head and held it up and continued to watch Karl. He turned his gaze to me and grinned, "What.?"
"you're a pain.." I chuckled, Karl gasped, "Why would you say such a hurtful thing..?"
"Oh shut up!" I laughed, "Your contact name is pain in my butt for a reason.." Karl gasped once more,
"Riley! You're so rude!" He stood up, grabbing my phone off my nightstand, typing in my code, I pulled it from his hands, "No! My phone, no touch!" I shouted at him. Karl quickly grabbed one of my pillows, hitting me lightly with it, I faked a gasp,
"No way you just hit me!"
I grabbed a pillow too, throwing it at Karl, he began hitting me with his pillow and we both laughed loudly, Grey ran out of the room scared of our pillow fight. Karl smacked me hard in the face, making me fall down on the bed, he literally winded me.
"Oh my god Karl, you're heartless.." I touched my face with a laugh as Karl looked down at me, his floppy hair falling down as he chuckled, he let himself fall beside me, "Im sorry.."
"That's okay.." I looked into his blue, grey eyes and smiled, "So this weekend I was thinking we could maybe go into the city, rent out some bikes..take a big bike ride..?" Karl raised his eyebrows at me,
"Sounds pretty fun.."
"Awesome, and are we still planning on going on a road trip this summer..?" Karl looked at questionably and I nodded, "Of course, we have to!"
"We should pick when we're leaving, and if where we wanna go exactly!" Karl sat up, making his way over to my computer, I watched him from the bed, rolling onto my stomach, Karl turned to me as he looked at a map of the U.S. "New York..? L.A? Canada?"
"Canada..that could be an interesting road trip.." I raised an eyebrow at him and he nodded,
"Okay, so maybe Canada, maybe La, or new york, how about we pick the date."
"Next month, June 15th." I suggested, Karl grinned, "We're gonna have a blast!"
