Chapter 2: Ryan Cullen

--Ryan--

After a month of not being home, I was finally going today, I have a free week, so I get to spend it with Gabi and of course, Aria. And since today is Friday, we can hangout.

Oh Aria, we were each others first kiss, I was ten and she was nine and she said 'I saw this in a movie and it meant we were gonna be together forever. As friends of course'.Aria is the sweetest girl ever, I find it adorable how she still sleeps with her my little ponies that her moms gave her for her tenth birthday. We used to have a lot of sleepovers, I would talk about batman and she about her ponies. I miss hanging out with her. Lucky this week we will. Is it wrong I'm more excited to hang with her than Gabi?

--Aria--

Hours went by and there was a knock on my door, I went to open it and I was in shock.

"Long time, no see, Shorty." At that moment I forgot about what I said about my crush, I threw my hands around his neck and hugged him tight as his hands went to my waist and pulled me impossible closer. We stood there hugging for like a minute, I've missed him so much.

"I missed you so much, shorty." He said while still hugging me.

"I missed you too, Ryan." I said never letting go off him. I didn't want to.

"Did you get shorter or did I got taller?" He said teasing me.

"You're just too tall for your age." I retorted as we both laughed. I forgot how nice it is to talk to him. My moms were right, facing him out is not the answer.

"What are you doing, now?" He asked.

"Stuffing my face with junk food while watching a movie."

"Mind if I join, that three hour drive has me exhausted." He sighed.

"Come on in, you're welcome to join me." I said and just then Luna came running and hugged him.

"I missed you." She hugged him.

"I missed you too." He hugged her back.

"Thought you were out with mom's?"

"No silly, I was just finishing watching my little pony in my room." We just laughed. The three of us went to watch a movie while stuffing our faces with junk food.

Once the movie was over, Luna went to the yard to play with her puppy.

"So, how did Gabi reacted when she saw you?"

"I haven't visit her, I wanted to come here first." He flashed me a smile.

"Aww, aren't you adorable." I said while pinching his cheeks.

"Hands off the cheeks, Missy." He said while grabbing them then before I knew it he pinned me down. My heart was racing from how close we were.

And he started to tickle me. I laughed so hard. Felt like nothing has changed.

--Ryan--

I've missed her so much, even if it's been a month, I missed her. She's very special to me. My parents keep asking me why I never dated Aria. They like Gabi, but they love Aria.

My answer was, Aria is my best friend, and that's how she will see me, I used to have a crush on her when we were ten, then when she was fifteen and I was sixteen I was still crushing on her. But figured best friends forever, right? So to get over that crush I went out with Gabi, it was wrong to use her but, I did ended up developing feelings for her. Have we said I love you, yeah. We've been together for two years.

But there's something lacking, and don't know what. Is it wrong I enjoy Aria's company more than Gabi's?" I don't know, all I know is I like being with Aria.

"Do you surrender?" I asked.

"Y-yes." She said while laughing.

"You owe me an ice cream for losing." I said before giving her a kiss on her cheek. I saw her blush. Adorable.

"Fine, you only win cause you're bigger and stronger." She pouted. Can she get anymore adorable.

"I'll give you a piggy ride, like old times." I said as she smiled.

Minutes later her moms came and hugged me, they invited me for dinner but I really had to go see Gabi, I spent the whole day with Aria, I still wanted to be here, but Gabi, is my girlfriend.

--Aria--

"So, what happened to facing him out? you two seem to be having fun." Mom said.

"I know, but you two were right, I love Ryan he's my best friend and could never face him out." I sighed.

"We're always right, little princess." Ma said as mom laughed, I swear they are something else.

I was looking forward hanging out with him. Just us, minus Gabi. I love her don't get me wrong, I just want some time with him.
