A Ripple In Water

Chapter 10- Wanna hang out?

A/N- I know I said its gonna be a time skip to Aurellie's birthday but, I decided the the time is two days before her birthday.

Aurellie's POV-

Waking up from a dreamless night, I stretched and yawned. Chance came bounding in and, jumped on my bed and licked my face while, wagging his tail. Giggling slightly, I jumped outta bed, with him close behind. Turning to him I said "Stay." He sat at the door. Shutting it, I did my business then walked out to my closet. Picking out my under amour shirt and some shorts that are neon green. Stripping out of my pajamas and, throwing on my exercise clothes and, put on my running shoes. Grabbing my phone, earphones and house key, I turned to chance.

"Wanna go on a run with me?" He barked and followed behind me down the stairs and to the kitchen. I grabbed a water bottle and, walked out my house, making sure to lock the door behind me. Walking to the corner, I stretched my legs and, plugged in my earphones and, blasted my favorite playlist then, started running with Chance by my side. Running through the park and a couple neighbourhoods, then stopping at a corner to catch my breath. Drinking some water, then giving some to Chance, I looked around.

Turns out, I ended up on Claire's street. I guess my conscience took me here. Walking down here road and, to her house, I stood on her porch and, contemplated whether to knock or not. Would she want to see me? I thought. Then a sudden sadness came over me. What if she got mad at me for showing up unexpectedly? Then I felt Chance nudge my leg and, I shook my head then, knocked on the door. A few seconds later Lyric answered the door and smiled. "Hey, what's up?", "Nothing, just on a run with my dog." Her eyes went wide as she practically pushed me over to get to him. "Oooooh, what's its name?" she asked as she petted him. "His name is Chance." He licked her hand and she smiled softly at him. "He's too cute." I heard a voice behind me say. Turning, my heart jumped a little when, her blue/green eyes met mine and, saw an amused smile on her soft-looking, pink lips.

I smiled and tried to lean on the doorway but, stumbled and almost fell when I missed the doorway completely. I felt the heat rush to my face as I regained my balance and, noticed how Claire was laughing her ass off. Literally, she was doubled over, holding her sides, with a few tears running down her face. A few minutes later, she calmed down and, wiped her tears away then saw my red face. "I'm sorry lee." She said smiling. I gave her a blank look. "Are you mad at me?" I tapped my chin and pretended to think. As I did this, she walked up to me and, hugged me tightly. I froze and heard her say, "Please don't be mad at me." I smiled as I felt the little shocks across my skin, with her body up against mine.

"You aren't gonna kiss her, are you Claire?" Lyric asked with a funny look on her face that I couldn't read. Claire jumped away from me and, began to turn pink. She's so cute. "N-no." She stuttered out and looked at her feet. Smiling, I asked her "What's your plan for the day?", "Nothing really. Why?". "Just wondering if you and Lyric wanted to hang out with me?", "Sure, Just let us get dressed. Come on Lyric, and you and chance can come in." Chance walked behind Lyric and I followed behind Claire and shut the door. "Dress casual. I have a place I want to take you two and yall have to be able to move around and wear tennis shoes too." I called out as they ran up the stairs.

Chance tried to walk up with them but before he could, I called out to him. "Come here boy." He ran and jumped in my lap as soon as I sat on the couch. Rubbing his head, I sat back. A few minutes later, they both came down. Claire was wearing a red, long-sleeved shirt, that had the French words, "Comment ca va?" on it, white wash jeans and red converses. Lyric had on a dark grey, hooded shirt that had the words, " Midnight Snacking Expert" on it, with some black jeans and dark grey vans and a black beanie. Smiling at them then looking at Claire I said, "Bonne facon de vous?" They looked at me strangely. "Quoi?", "What the hell did you just say?" Lyric all of a sudden blurted out and Claire pinched her arm. Laughing I said, " I know French."
"Ohhhhh!" They said at the same time. Chance jumped of my lap when I stood. "Do you two mind, walking to my house with me real quick, so I can change? It's only a couple of blocks."
"Sure, let's go." Claire said grabbing her phone and key. I opened the door and let everyone go ahead of me, then waited while Claire locked the door. Lyric was walking ahead of us with Chance.

About 20 minutes later, we walked up my driveway. Opening the door and, shutting it behind us, I showed them to my living room, where Lyric sat down and turned on the tv, while Claire followed me to my room. Once there, she looked around then sat on my bed. Laughing, I said, "Well make yourself at home." and grabbed my bra, boxers and a towel and walked into my bathroom. Taking a five minute shower, I got out, dried myself and put on my bra and boxer and loosely wrapped the towel around my waist. Walking out into my room, I heard Claire's breath hitch a little. Giggling to myself, I walked into my closet. Throwing on my black shirt worn the words, "You Mad Bro?" in blue on it, some dark jeans and my black converses. Exiting my closet, I saw Claire looking at the quotes and paintings I hung around my room. Sneaking up behind her, I yelled, "BOO!" She jumped and, gave a little scream before spinning around and punching my shoulder with a smile on her face. Grimacing a little, I rubbed my shoulder. "Dang! You pack a mean punch. I can't play with you anymore." She just shook her head at me.

"Hey, can I see your phone real quick?" I asked. She handed it over after unlocking it. I put my number in and put "That Mermaid" with a winking face and a heart as a name. When I handed it back to her, she laughed a little then looked at me, "You still gotta explain that whole tail thing to me." I grabbed her hand and lead her outta my room and to the living room to Lyric. "Come on Lyric." I said after filling Chance's bowl with food and water. Going out to my garage, I went to my silver, Cryseler and unlocked the doors for them. I only have two vehicles. Frost and my Cryseler. Starting the car up, I opened my garage with a button and sped out of my driveway and down the road. Claire screamed at me to slow down as she held the handle above her head for dear life while, Lyric just laughed her head off in the back.
