strangely in love (robin x nancy)

Chapter 2

Robin hopped out of the car, grabbing the bag before she shut the car door. She put her hand through the handles of the bag and started softly spinning it around her wrist. Slowly she follow Nancy to the front door, dragging her feet on the concrete.

Nancy lightly tapped her knuckles on the door before walking in, holding the door open for Robin. "Nancy?" Mrs. Wheeler called out as soon as she heard the two girls walk in. Nancy led them to the kitchen, where Robin saw Mrs. Wheeler washing dishes in the sink. She craned her neck to look at them when you could see a bit of confusion fill her eyes.

"I thought you and Chrissy were hanging out tonight?" Mrs. Wheeler questioned. "She had to cancel" Nancy quickly replied. "Oh that sucks, well welcome Robin, I haven't seen you in a while!" she said with a warm smile. Robin smiled back as Nancy tugged on her shirt, motioning to the basement. "Nice to see you Mrs. Wheeler!" Robin said as she follow Nancy down into the Wheelers basement.

Nancy opened the VHS case as Robin got herself comfortable on the couch. Robin slung her arm on the back of the couch and rested her legs on the coffee table in front of her. Nancy fed the copy of Friday the 13th into their VHS player.

She stood up, grabbed a blanket and sat down on the couch by Robin. Robin had already seen this movie a few times but she didn't mind watching it again. She was excited to see what parts scared Nancy and her reactions in general. It was one of her favorite things when watching a movie with someone.

Because of that, she ended up paying more attention to Nancy than the movie. She would watch Nancy's facial expressions and movements during every jump-scare. A few times Nancy would get so scared that she grabbed Robins shirt and hid her face.

This made Robins heart beat race, the proximity between the two nervous. Nancy would then apologize and go back to her original position but always seemed to end up a little closer to Robin.

This made Robin pay even less attention than before. She started paying attention to every time their shoulders touched or when she could feel Nancy's curls brush her face. The excitement she started to feel when she knew a jump-scare was coming confused her.

After about an hour into the movie, Robin's eyelids started to feel heavy and she had a hard time keeping them open. She started to blink and her eyes wouldn't open for a few seconds. To make herself more comfortable, she shifted around on the couch, adjusting her position. The last thing she remembered was the feeling of warmth that was created by Nancy scooting closer.

Robin woke up in a cold sweat, whipping her head around when she realized where she was. She looked down and noticed that Nancy was draped on top of her. Her head full of curls laying on her chest and her hand gripping Robins shirt. Robin wasn't really sure what to do but could feel her cheeks burning. She smelled the smell of vanilla and honey covering Nancy. Robin smiled at the girl. She sat there enjoying the moment for a few minutes when she remembered that she had work.

Robin raised her wrist to look at her watch. The watch read 10:03 am. "Shit!" Robin yelped. Nancy shot up.

"What happened." Nancy asked sleep filling her voice as she rubbed her eyes. "Im late for work!" Robin scrambled to put her shoes on and started to run over to the stairs. "Ill drive you Nancy said with determination in her voice.

The two girls rushed up the stairs and burst into the kitchen causing Mrs. Wheeler to jump. "Are you girls okay?" She asked worry in her voice. "Robins late for work" Nancy said while she shoved on a pair of shoes grabbed her car keys, and rushed Robin out of the door.

They both ran to the car hopping in and buckling their seatbelts as fast as possible.

Nancy started the car and pulled out of the driveway the fastest Robin had ever seen her do. Nancy was speeding down the road at lighting speed barely stopping in time at the stop signs and stop lights. Robins heart was racing as she saw everything pass by quickly.
