"Oh Ro," Katie brought me in for a hug ",you could've told me how you were feeling. I promise I'll stay by your side the whole time"
"Ok" We just stay stood there for a minute or two until Katie speaks again
"You ready now"
"Yeah" I say as well pull out of the hug and set off towards the restaurant again. When we got there, I let Katie go in first as her mum had texted her where they were sitting. Katie walked ahead leading the way weaving through tables until we got to a function room, which they had hired out.
It was a good afternoon. I've now met all of the McCabe's. I think we had stayed a few hours but I didn't really notice the time. When we got back I decided to change into something comfy as did the rest of them and Katie had suggested we watch a few films and maybe order some food later. We all agreed and met in the living room. Katie had brought down all of her blankets and duvets as had Lauryn and their mum and dad. As Katie's mum and dad settled down on one sofa Katie and Lauryn sat on the ends of the other sofa obviously wanting me to sit in the middle. Katie being selfish told me that I wasn't allowed to share her duvet with her because apparently I 'put my cold feet up her jumper'.
I mean it was only the one time but still, it's very selfish of her.
"You can share with me if you want?" Lauryn said as the rest were picking out a film for us to watch.
"Yes please" I said moving closer to her as she lifted the cover for me to get under with her. As Katie had chosen to watch Murder Mystery then she said we had to watch the second one as well.
About half an hour into the film, I felt an arm reach over my shoulder and pull me into them. It was Lauryn, I just let her and pulled the duvet closer up to my chin as I had started to get cold. I think Lauryn noticed this as she subtly started to rub her hand up and down the top of my arm.
As the first film came to an end Katie had given Lauryn and I her phone to choose where we were going to eat, we picked on a local pizza place that Lauryn said was good, i chose a plain margarita pizza which she teased me about for a bit before choosing a hawaiian pizza then we both decided we wanted a garlic bread to share then passing Katie's phone back to her as she finished the order taking her mum and dads orders.
The pizza finally came in the middle of the second film. Lauryn and I didn't move from our position on the sofa, balancing our pizza boxes on top of our legs, which had been curled up on the ottoman which we had pulled up right next to the sofa.
Throughout the night we had all picked out a film to watch and Katie's mum and dad had eventually gone up to bed so it was now just Katie, Lauryn, and I. The later we got into the night, the less I cared about what film we were watching. Halfway through watching Shark Tale, I could feel my eyes getting heavy.
Lauryn's POV
As the end credits of Shark Tale rolled onto the TV both me and Katie had decided it was really late and that we should get some rest. Katie got up off her side of the sofa and went to turn the light on, I quickly realised that Rosie had fallen asleep on my shoulder, with her legs tangled into mine. She looks so adorable, snuggled under the blanket.
"Katie" I whisper-shouted to get her attention
"Yeah" she whispered back
"Don't turn the light on Rosie's fallen asleep"
"Ok, I'll go and take my blankets up and I'll come back down and get her"
"No, no it's alright, I'll just stay here. She looks comfy there anyway."
"Ok, if you're sure, she can sleep for a long time, you'll probably get a dead arm"
"Eh, it'll be fine"
