"Babe!" I heard Ryder yell from downstairs.

"What?!" I shouted from the bathroom.

"What do you want to eat?!" He shouted back.

"I don't know! Surprise me!" I  holler at him.

"Okay!" He says loudly from the kitchen.

I quickly slip into a blue cut off shorts, white crop top, and my high top white converse. I brushed on some mascara on my eyelashes after doing a thin line of eyeliner on my eyelid. I didn't care about my lip gloss or lipstick. 

I hurried downstairs and grabbed my phone on the way. Entering the kitchen, I heard Ryder on the phone. His back was facing me and I quietly sat on the counter while waiting for him to finish his phone call. Noticing, I don't think he heard me come into the room.

"I'll have to ask her...but what if she doesn't want to see y'all?...No!...um yes...shut up...I just don't want Nichole to be mad at me." I decided to cut in to the conversation.

"Be mad for what??" My voice must've surprised him. He jumped five feet in the air when he heard me behind him.

"You scared the shit out of me!" Ryder says holding a hand to his heart. I rolled my eyes at his dramatic act.

"So, what about me?" I raise an eyebrow and stare at him.

"The guys and Juily want to come." He says.

Honestly, I didn't want to talk to them yet, because like I said, I am scared that they will leave me. Ryder must've noticed my delay when he said her name.

"I don't think she wants to—" I grabbed the phone from his hands and started to speak on the phone with her.

"Meet us at the park after school." I said.

"Nichole, is that you?"
Juily's worried voice answered. I didn't answer back, I just handed Ryder his phone back and sat down.

"I don't know... I'll talk to her. Yeah. Okay bye." He hung up and pocketed his phone.

"Why didn't you answer her?" He asked.

"I don't know. I was nervous." I said, fidgeting with my hands.

He grabs my hands coming closer to me and standing in between my legs.

"Don't be. I'm here for you babe." He says.

"Don't leave me." I said, staring at him in the eyes.

"I won't." He says.

"Promise?" I said, sticking out my pinky finger in between us.

"I promise." He says and places a soft kiss on my lips. I kiss him back just as passionate. His lips tasted like mint. I felt him smile against my lips and I pull away.

"Make me breakfast. I'm hungry!"

"Yes ma'm." He salutes.

I chuckle and he grins widely.

"Okay boyfriend, get to work."
