I awoke to Belle jumping on the bed like a little girl. She let herself drop next to me.
"Wakey, wakey, sleeping beauty!" she said kidding around. I grabbed my pillow and smacked her with it.
"Oh, no you didn't!" she said grabbing a pillow for herself. She took a swing at me and since I was still half asleep I took the hit. She continued to hit me until I hit her once more in the face. We ran around the room hitting each other with the pillows until she gave up. Then we sat on the bed trying to catch our breaths.
"Listen... I know this isn't the best time to talk to you about this, but I need to tell you.
You need to forget about Nick. I know he hurt you, but now you got someone else to take care of. You need to think about things before you act. I've talked to Oscar, he's changed a lot, and he still loves you. He's sorry for hurting you, Sophie. He truly is, and for the sake of the baby you should give him another try."
I kept quiet while listening to her words. Normally they wouldn't have made sense, but today they all sunk in, and I understood what I needed to do. I needed to forget about Nick and live on with my baby. It was going to be hard, but I had had harder situations.
"Well, I'll let you think that over, because I need to go to work," Belle said huggin me and stepping out of the room.
Five minutes after that Belle left to work leaving me all alone in the house. I spent the whole morning watching cartoons and cleaning up. There wasn't really anything on t.v. I changed the channel to MTV, and found that they were showing music videos so I kept it on that channel. After a while it go boring so I changed it to cartoons. They were passing my favorite cartoon so I left.
The doorbell rang and I stood up to answer the door. First I checked to see who it was, but I couldn't see anybody, so I wondered if I should open it. I opened the door to find Oscar standing there holding a daisy in his hand.
"Are you busy?" he asked looking around the house.
"No, why?"
"Well, I thought I could take you out to eat or something. I know this great chinese food place not far from here...."
"Look, Oscar, no offense, but I'm not in the mood to really do anything. I just want to relax for today."
He looked at me dissapointed, "C'mon Sophie, besides you need to start thinking about someone else now."
I looked down while I thought about it. "Can I atleast change?"
"Yeah! I mean go ahead. I'll wait here."
"No, you'll wait inside watching t.v." I said pulling him inside.
"Oh, here this is for you," he said handing me the flower.
I took it into my hands and thanked him. My clothes weren't even unpacked so I just ruffled through them until I found something nice to wear. I put it on and fixed my hair. After washing my face I went to the living room where Oscar sat waiting.
He stood up and turned off the t.v. "Ok we'll let' go," he said leading the way.
He opened the door and led me out. He locked and closed the door behind me. His car was parked infront of the house. I walked to it and he opened the door for me. As I was stepping inside I felt kind of dizzy so I held on to his arm.
"Are you ok?" he asked. He hugged me tight and ran his fingers along my face. His touch was soft and his arms powerful. Oscar was always the type that worked out whenever he could. So he had a nice body, he was also good looking. With his hazel eyes and long black eye lashes. His white straight teeth, and lips that were beyond irresistible.
I couldn't pull my eyes away from him for some reason. "Yeah, I'm ok, I'm just a little dizzy that's all."
"Maybe we should just watch a movie and stay home. We can order take out and just relax here," he offered.
"Yeah, I guess that would be better." He closed the door and put his arm around me. We went back into the house and he sat me down on the couch and turned on the t.v. He got me a glass of water and sat next to me.
"What would you like to watch?"
"Anything..."
"How about your favorite movie, Interview With a Vampire?"
"Sure."
He put on the movie and sat next to me again. We watched the movie in silence for a while. After a while I got tired of sitting down so I layed down placing my feet on his lap. He didn't seem to mind so I left them there.
After a while though, he got bored and started tickling my feet. He knew I was very ticklish so he continued. I was laughing and begging him to stop at the same time, but he continued tickling me. He tickled be under my arms and then on my feet again. I couldn't stop laughing. I'm very very ticklish. I attempted to ticke him, but he just smiled really big because he wasn't ticklish. I couldn't find a way for him to stop and I couldn't stop laughing either.
I fell to the ground from laughing too much, and he followed placing himself above me to keep tickling me.
I tried to move around in order to avoid his hands but he was too strong.
"Say uncle!" he said laughing.
I choked out the words through laughter. He stopped leaving me laughing still. Tear fell out of my eyes and I wiped the dry on my cheek.
"You're evil, you know that?" I said looking up at him.
He leaned down, "Oh, is that so? Because you know I can still tickle you!"
"No, no, no!" I said placing my hands on his chest to hold him back.
He looked down at me seriously. Thoughts raced through my mind as I stared back at him. *Please don't kiss me* I thought to myself. *Please don't*
He leaned down to kiss me, but I held him up away from me.
"I can't do this," I said.
"It's ok..."
He started to get up just as I changed my mind. "Oh, what the hell!" I said and I grabbed him and kissed him.
I remembered the sweet taste of his kiss and indulged myself in it. I ran my fingers through his short brown hair. Then the door opened and Belle stood there with eyes wide open.
"Oh, I'm sorry I don't want to interrupt anything here, so I'll just go to my room," she said looking over at us.
Oscar got up quickly and helped me up. I cleaned my lips and looked at Belle, "It's fine Belle, Oscar was just leaving."
"Yeah, I need to go," he said walking towards the door.
"Go ahead and walk him out," Belled said winking at me.
"Uh yeah... let me.. um.. walk you out... real quick," I said stumbling over my own words. I pushed Oscar out the door as he said goodbye to Belle.
Outside it was dark already, but Oscar kept his hand around me until he reached his car. He stopped and looked at me, "Today was fun... and I was wondering if we could do this again maybe sometime."
"Sure, that sounds great, maybe tomorrow we can go to the movies."
"Yeah, I"ll come pick you up tomorrow then." Since he was taller, he leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips and then near my ear.
I kissed him goodbye and he left. I walked back to the house to find Belle waiting with a huge smile on her face. She grabbed me and started jumping up and down. I let go of her and looked at her amazed.
"I should be the happy one, don't you think?" I asked her playing around.
She grabed me and hugged me, "I'm so happy."
"Thanks," I said taking her arms off me."I'm going to go to sleep cuz I'm tired, Belle."
"Ok, I'm going to stay up a little bit more, celebrating for you."
"Yeah, you do that." I said goodnight to her and headed to my room. I changed into my p.j. and laid down on the bed. I could still feel Oscar's lips on mine and the thought of it made me jump and scream with joy.
"I heard that!" Belled said from the living room.
I laughed like I hadn't laughed in days, and I sensed a change for the better!
