Cassidy's P.O.V.
Everyone went back to their rooms to get changed into pajamas so we could start the movie as soon as possible. We decided that it would be fun to watch it in the media room upstairs since it had a big flat-screen TV. Peter said that he wanted to surprise us with his movie choice, so I was excited to see what he had picked.
Once Warren and I had changed into some comfy pajamas, I texted the group chat to see if everyone was ready.
Cassidy: Hey guys, everyone ready?
Jean: Yup!
Scott: I'm headed there now
Peter: I'm so excited to show you guys the movie I picked out...you'll LOVE it Cassidy 😉
Cassidy: uh oh 😰
Jubilee: What are you planning Peter?
Peter: You'll find out soon enough...
Peter was starting to worry me a bit. He had most likely chosen a horror movie just to make me mad. I was going to embarrass myself big time, and in front of Warren to top it all off.
"You ready?" Warren asked
He had put on a pair of grey and black checkered sweatpants and a black tank top to go with them, while I had an oversized tie-dye t-shirt with some shorts.
"Yup" I replied and we headed out
We made our way to the media room and when I opened the door it was pitch black. I began running my hand along the wall, searching for the light switch, but I couldn't find it.
"That's weird. I texted everyone and they said they were ready" I said, furrowing my brows
Warren just shrugged as I turned on my phone flashlight. Suddenly, I started hearing whispers all through the media room which caused me to frantically look around, searching for whoever was making the noise. As I was doing so, I felt something brush past my leg.
"Warren...was that you?" I asked as a chill ran down my spine
This type of thing has never ever happened before in the media room, so I knew that something was definitely wrong. After he didn't respond, I turned around to search for him when I felt a cold hand cover my mouth. My eyes widened and I tried to scream but the sound was muffled. Finally, the hand let go of me. I dropped my phone from being startled, so the room was completely dark once again. At that point, I was freaked out and was about to run out of the media room. That is until I finally found the light switch and Peter popped up from behind the couch.
"Boo!" He yelled
I screamed in response, grabbing a pillow from the couch and instinctively throwing it at him. My eyes were wide and my hands shaking because of how scared I was.
Peter started laughing and everyone else came out from their hiding spots. Everyone laughed along with him while I crossed my arms in annoyance, finally starting to calm down.
"Yeah, haha very funny," I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes at them
"Wow, I didn't know you got scared that easily," Warren chuckled as he picked my phone off the floor and handed it to me
"Let's just watch the movie already," I said, ignoring him as I plopped down on the couch "What are we watching, anyway?"
"IT" Peter replied nonchalantly
"You mean the horror movie about the clown who eats kids?" I asked, my eyes wide
"Yup," Peter said, popping the p
"You've got to be freaking kidding me," I said in both annoyance and frustration
"I'm completely serious," he said, a smug smirk on his face
Ughhhh. Of course Peter would pick a horror movie just to embarrass me in front of Warren. I told myself I just had to suck it up and try my best not to scream too much. A few minutes later, we were seated on the couch. Warren was on my left and Jean on my right. Peter wanted to sit next to me but I refused, claiming that he was just going to tease me the whole time. Jubilee was sprawled on the bean bag next to the couch. I assumed she was just going to sit on her phone the whole time as usual. She always said horror movies were too predictable and boring.
Peter started the movie and the first 30 minutes weren't that scary. Then it started getting worse.
I had subconsciously picked up one of the couch cushions and was clutching it desperately. Finally, when nothing happened I relaxed. Then, out of nowhere, the clown popped out.
I screamed loudly and reached out to grab onto Jean's hand. However, my eyes widened when I heard chuckling from beside me. I looked down and realized I had accidentally grabbed Warren's hand and not Jean's
"S-sorry," I said awkwardly and removed my hand from his
"No problem," Warren replied, smirking slightly
"I just hate scary movies" I added, trying to turn my attention away from him
Warren then wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I gladly nestled my head against his chest, already starting to feel more comfortable now that I was in his arms. The rest of the movie wasn't that bad. As long as I focused on Warren's steady breathing and not the killer clown on the screen.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the stupid movie was over. I still couldn't believe Peter had made us watch that for almost two hours.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty tired," Jean said as she stood up and stretched her arms above her head
"Yeah, me too," Kurt said, yawning
"OK, goodnight you guys" I said as I stood up from the couch
Warren stood up with me and wrapped his arm around my waist resting his chin on my shoulder.
"Sleep well, Cassidy," Peter said creepily
"Oh, she will...with me," Warren retorted, making me blush
Peter clenched his fists and glared at Warren. but then shook his head and walked out without saying another word.
"I better go check on him. He's really trying, Cassidy" Scott said before he walked out to find Peter
I nodded and tried to untangle myself from Warren as the rest of the group left the movie room as well
"C'mon, let's go to bed," I said to him
Warren made a pouty face and nuzzled into my neck even more, but then finally let go after a few moments
I stepped away from him and we started walking towards our room. Once we finally made it there, I plopped onto the bed and groaned."Ughhhhh. I hate horror movies"
"Are you still scared, angel?" Warren asked as he slid into bed next to me
"Uh, no?" I said, still thinking back to the clown jumpscare that had terrified me earlier. I involuntarily shuddered and Warren raised an eyebrow, silently calling me out on my lie, "OK, maybe just a little," I said, accepting my defeat
"Well, maybe I can help take your mind off of it," Warren said as he slowly slipped his shirt off
I looked down at his toned chest and the thoughts of the clown immediately left my mind.
"Try not to stare too much," Warren said jokingly
I chuckled and rolled my eyes. Warren knew he had a great body and he sure wasn't afraid to show it off.
He cupped my cheek and kissed me softly. The kiss heated up a bit and started getting a bit more passionate. We stayed on the bed, making out for a little while until he broke the kiss.
"Better?"He asked as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear
"Much" I replied
I gave him a peck on the lips before I layed down. I scooted closer and rested my head on his chest as he began playing with my hair
"Warren?" I asked as soon as I was comfortable
"Hmmm?" He hummed lazily
"Do you think Peter's OK?" I asked almost hesitantly
He stiffened up a bit at the mention of his name but answered honestly, "No. If I'm being honest, Cassidy I don't think he'll ever really get over you"
"Oh," I sighed and cuddled a little closer to him "You know that I don't like him like that, right? He'll always be like a brother to me. That's it, nothing more."
"I know," Warren said and relaxed
"Plus, I have my eye on someone else" I added, a smile spreading on my face
"Oh really, would I happen to know him?" Warren teased
"I'd say you two are practically the same person"
We both laughed and a little and after a while, I found myself drifting off to sleep. Warren's touch was making me feel more relaxed. Maybe horror movies aren't so bad as long as I have him around to take my mind off them. Before I was out completely I heard him whisper
"Night, angel"
