Angie's POV

I laid across Ricky's lap as we watched a documentary on Ted Bundy. He gently played with my hair and I snuggled closer into him.

I felt myself being pulled up into a sitting position. Ricky had his phone out, trying to take a picture. I threw up a peace sign and Ricky kissed my cheek. My cheeks were hot from blushing.

"Thanks," he said. "That's gonna be my background."

"Send it to me, please."

I felt my phone go off and I screenshotted the picture he sent me. I got another notification about thirty seconds later.

@/rickyhorrorx tagged you in a post

I saw that he had posted the picture he'd just sent me. I looked at the caption.

Spending time with this beautiful girl

"Thank you," I said.

"Of course." I yawned and he asked, "do you want to go to bed?"

"I guess so."

I followed Ricky upstairs to his room. It was awesome. He had deep burgundy walls with black decorations. Two guitars hung on his wall.

I sat on the black comforter. Ricky did the same and pulled me down so we were laying next to each other. I curled into him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"Why didn't we do this sooner? Why were we fighting?" I asked.

"I was scared of my feelings," he admitted.

"Me too, I guess."

He kissed my forehead. The metal in his lips sent shivers down my spine. I kissed his forehead after he pulled away from mine, and he scrunched his eyes up.

"You're snakebites are weird," he said.

"You're spiderbites are weird," I mocked.

He laughed and placed a small kiss on my lips. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"Psst. Psst."

I awoke to someone poking me and hissing in my ear. I opened my eyes to see Ricky standing over me with a plate. He handed it to me.

"Wow, thanks, Ricky."

"I kinda messed up on the pancakes," he said, sounding embarrassed.

"Are they gonna kill me?"

"No, I just forgot to add the vanilla. They might be a little bit unsweet."

I reluctantly took a bite. "It still tastes good."

"Thank god."

I offered him a bite, which he took happily. His face lit up. "I did better than I thought."

I laughed at his surprised face. He stole another bite of eggs and then ran over to his dresser. He threw a pair of black jeans and a H.I.M shirt at me.

I finished eating and Ricky took the plate. It was freezing when I wasn't under the blankets, so I ran to the bathroom. I quickly put on the clothes, also putting on the hoodie Ricky gave me to sleep in.

He was sitting on the couch when I walked downstairs. I sat next to him. We weren't exactly touching, but our bodies were so close you could feel their presence next to each other.

"What do you wanna watch?" He asked me.

"We could finish our Ted Bundy documentary," I suggested.

"Ooh, good idea!" He eagerly clicked buttons on the remote.

I felt my phone buzz. I saw that Chris had texted me.

Chris: where are you?!

Me: I'm at Ricky's

Chris: oh. Have fun ;)

I chuckled - but not the creepy old pervert chuckle - and set my phone down. I focused all of my attention on the t.v.

"I want ice cream!" Ricky announced loudly.

"Okay, let's go."

He screeched and ran to grab his keys. I followed him out to his car, making my way into the passenger seat. AFI blasted through the speakers as soon as he turned the key. I laughed and he blushed, turning down the volume.

He eagerly pulled me into the ice cream shop, getting in line. I rolled my eyes and chuckled at how hyper he was acting.

We got to the front of the line and Ricky said, "two scoops of chocolate with hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry."

I glanced at all of the flavors and decided on what I wanted. "One scoop of mint chocolate chip with hot fudge, hot caramel, whipped cream, and a cherry; please and thanks."

The lady handed Ricky a bowl of ice cream and then me. We walked to a booth with our sundaes.

"So," Ricky began. "I told you about what it was like growing up for me; how about you?"

I shrugged and mumbled, "it was okay."

"You don't have to talk about it. I'm sorry, I forgot about the abuse and stuff."

"I guess I should talk about it, but not here and not today."

"Okay, whenever you're ready."

I nodded to acknowledge I'd heard him. I took a bite of my ice cream and smiled when Ricky stuck his spoon into my bowl.

Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream and I'm pretty sure all of my main characters in my books like it too xD
