We'll Have Our Little Secret

Chapter 29- Moments I Wouldnt Trade For the World

I open my eyes to sunlight shining in through the windows. It's a gorgeous morning. I roll over, and right in front of me is a sleeping Ross. We don't have an extra bedroom in the apartment, so Ross just slept in here.

When we came home from the carnival last night, we stayed up really late watching movies and eating popcorn. We watched Aladdin, and I will admit, we acted childish watching it. I actually remember falling asleep on Ross's chest in the living room about half way into the movie, so he must have brought me in here. I smile at the thought.

Ross slowly cracks his eyes open, and looks at me.

"Good morning." I say with a smile. He smiles back.

"Good morning, Beautiful. " He says causing my cheeks to go warm.

"How did we get in here?" I ask.
"Well you feel asleep on me last night watching the movie, so I just carried you in here so you could sleep in your room." He explains causing me to smile trying to picture it.

"After I finished the movie of course! That thing got intense!" He says making me laugh.

"I don't know what I would have done if I was Aladdin." He says holding my hand now.

"Why?" I ask meeting eyes with him.

"To have the girl he loves taken from him. He went through all of that to get her back." He explains.

"If it would have been you, I would have went to the ends of the earth to find you." He says. I smile, and kiss him.

"You know it was just a Disney movie right?" I ask, and he laughs a little while pressing his forehead against mine.

"Yeah I guess." He says with a sigh.

"So what do you want to do today?" I ask changing the subject. He rolls on his back and stares at the ceiling, but he doesn't let go of my hand.

"Oh I don't know. What do you want to do?" He asks looking over at me again. I shrug.

"Let's eat something first." I say, and he smiles.

"I was afraid you would never say something." He says and he jumps out of the bed, and runs down the hall toward the kitchen.

I can't get up that fast, because I'm not much of a morning person, so I slowly push the blankets off of me, and get out of bed. I stretch a little, and start down the hall where Ross is already by the fridge. He's reading a note.

"Hannah said she was going to the hospital, and that if we get hungry to go get something to eat, there's a key under the pot. And she said to check your phone." He says looking at me on the last part. I pick my phone up off the table, and Ross walks over to stand next to me. What does she mean to check my phone? I decide to go to my pictures to check first, and there was three pictures of Ross and I fast asleep in each others arms. I can't help but to smile, and Ross kisses the top of my head, and wraps his arms around my waist.

"I love you." I say as I put my phone back, and hold his hands in mine.

"As I love you" He says.

After about another hour, is was around 1:00 so we decided to go get some lunch. I'm still not used to this town, so the only place I knew to go to was Dairy Queen; which is my new favorite place to eat.

"Can I help you?" The lady asks. I open my mouth to order, but Ross lifts his hand up motioning for me to stop.

"Let's see how good I know you." He whispers and turns back to the lady. I laugh a little, and let him do the talking.

"She wants 3 chicken tenders with fries, and an M&M Blizzard. " He says turning to me, and as impressed as I am, I agree. He smiles, and turns back to the lady.

"I want the same, except a Snickers Blizzard." He says. He pays for the food, which makes me feel bad, but then we go to pick our seats.

"You didn't have to buy lunch." I say sitting down on the other side of the table.

"It's my job!" He says with a big smile. I roll my eyes.

"You better get used to it, because there's plenty more times coming!" He says making me roll my eyes at him again.

"You surprised me on knowing what I wanted to eat!" I say, and he laughs.

"I actually just winged it, and hoped you liked what I chose." He says making both of us laugh.

Once we stop laughing, we just stare at each other for a minute without saying a word. It's like we can read each others thoughts, but it's also like we're not even together. It's like this perfect moment isn't real, or that it's going by too fast. I don't want him to leave.

"I can't believe you're leaving after tomorrow." I say, and I hold his hand in mine. He sighs.

"Trust me, I don't want to." He says staring down at our hands.

"Then why are you?" I ask. As soon as I heard it come out of my mouth, I realized how selfish it actually sounded.

"I can't just stay up here Laur, I have to go home and work on things there. Like the house." He says. I actually forgot about the house. It was one of the last things on my mind.

"Oh. How's it coming?" I ask.

"Great! I finished painting everything, and building the shelves. I mostly just have all of the outside, and then all the decorating and furniture on the inside." He says.

"What about the pluming and things?" I ask.

" I haven't started that yet." He says with a little bit of a laugh. That's when the waitress brings us our food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we finished eating, we decided to drive over to the park and just talk for awhile. I know we haven't been apart but for only a few weeks, but it feels like so much longer.

"You can always visit." He says entwining our fingers together.

"I know. It's just hard." I say. He nods.

"I understand." He says.

"You know, you should see Jack." I say, and he looks over at me. I already told him about the plan to tell him he's a friend from school, and even if he says he looks like Ross Lynch, we have to make him believe he's not.

"I'm nervous." He says.

"It's just like you're meeting him for the first time. Because technically, you are." I say. He nods.

"Don't you mean he's meeting a fake me?" He asks looking over at me, and I sigh. He hates all the lying just as much as I do.

"What are we going to do when it's time to tell them the truth?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders. I really don't know.

"I'll tell you the same thing you told me, We'll figure it out when the time comes." I say, and he nods with a sigh. It's silent for a minute or two, and then he looks at me.

"Are you ticklish?" He asks with a smile.

"Why?" I ask letting go of his hand and taking a step away from him.

"You are!" He says, and I take another step away.

"Ross, don't you dare!" I say, and he starts laughing. I turn around, and take off in the opposite direction, but he's a lot faster than me, so he quickly catches up to me, and he starts ticking me so much, I fall to the ground. He has a strong grip on me though, so I don't hit the ground. But he still doesn't stop tickling me. I start laughing so hard that tears start to form at the brim of my eyes.

"Ro-os-st-op" I say between breaths, and he finally does. I lay on the ground, out of breath as he laughs. He helps me up, and he wraps his arms around me.

"I love you, babe." He says kissing my cheek. I raise an eyebrow at him.

"You called me that again." I say. He smiles at me.

"It wasn't by accident that time." He says entwining our fingers as we start to walk back towards our car.
