As me and West enter my house, the silence seems deafening, then I slowly remember that my mum said that she wasn't in tonight and I mentally applaud and facepalm myself at the same time, well done Effie, you've brought a guy that you find really attractive back to an empty house, I can't figure out if that's genius or stupid. Only one way to find out though.
"Welcome to my house I guess, you can just chuck your jacket and bag on the floor, it's only what I do." I say as I drop my bag on the floor and West copies my movements a few moments later.
"So... what do you want to do? I haven't had anyone round in a while, so this feels very new again." And by anyone I meant the male species, but I didn't need to make that more obvious than it already was. I watch West as he begins to look around and I can see a plan forming in his eyes.
"Hmmm, how about hot chocolate and something to watch, but I'll make the hot chocolates while you get yourself sorted, comfy and relaxed because I want this to be fun and easy for you and I won't take no for an answer." West smirks at me, I feel like saying no for a few seconds but then I realise that these jeans are killing me after wearing them all day and my mascara is probably a mess from all the tears.
"Okay, I can agree to those terms, as long as I can have whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles, all the hot chocolate ingredients just be in the bottom left cupboard baring the whipped cream which should be in the door of the fridge, and you can bring them up to my room when they've cooled, first door on the right." I smile at West as I head to the lift, not even thinking that I'd just invited him upstairs, my brain was clearly on slow today.
As I enter my room, I try not to think about West being in here with me in a few minutes and instead I focus on finding a comfy outfit and taking my makeup off. I go over to my wardrobe and end up choosing an oversized coral cropped jumper with a black bralette underneath and some cosy black skinny jogging bottoms, I put my hair up in a bun, mainly so it doesn't get stuck in my hot chocolate. I quickly take my leftover mascara off.
After a few minutes, I can hear West slowly coming up the stairs, which makes me laugh, even my mum uses my lift to get upstairs, I don't think anyone has actually ever used the stairs for as long as I can remember.
"hey, I am I alright to come in?" I go over and open the door allowing West entry into my room and pointing to the bedside table, mainly because he's struggling holding two deep mugs full of chocolate bliss.
"Two massive mugs of hot chocolate with all the extras, I've put everything back where I found it, didn't want to get run over for not being tidy when you left me alone in your very clean kitchen, have you decided what we're watching yet? Or were you too busy stressing that you had invited me up here?" West smirks at me then laughs softly, and I laugh back knowing I may have been caught out.
"I thought maybe we could watch Riverdale, and I wasn't stressing that much, so you can stop laughing at me, where do you wanna sit?" I ask him, looking away, I can feel the slight blush that is racing across my face due to the flashes of memory hitting me from sitting on the bench earlier, and surprisingly I speak again.
"though if I remember correctly, we had that figured out earlier... unless you want your own space?" I lift my head up and smirk slightly, my confidence wavering as the second's pass, in the end, it looks like West wants his own space so I grab my hot chocolate and go over to the sofa and do a quick transfer from my wheelchair. As I'm trying to get Netflix to work on my TV, I can feel a presence at the side of me which is made more evident when West wraps his arms around my waist and moves me on to him again, as his hands are slightly colder than mine it makes me squeal, which makes me blush.
"God you look cute when you blush, and I'm sorry for being weird a minute or so ago, was in my own world but I'm back now, feel free to ignore me to get payback, I can take it." He smiles, pulling me closer to him if that was even possible. I look up at him and I'm struck with how calm I feel physically and emotionally.
"I get it, don't worry, though keep sitting me on you and I might get used it, you're actually quite comfy, though how do you suppose I drink my hot chocolate?" I laugh, it takes a minute for West to realise that he has me laid against him instead of sat up, and he slowly helps me sit up, with my back against his front, and because I'm tired, my brain decides now I'm sat up to have me spasm, now this wouldn't have been a problem had I been in my chair or had I been with Millie, but sitting on a male, let alone a very gorgeous male, makes everything seem a bit tenser, no, that's not the right word, heated is probably a better word and trying to control a spasm only makes it worse. I can feel West's hands just below my ribcage, his thumbs making tiny stroking patterns to try and help relax, and it does.
"Are you okay Bab-Effie? Do you need anything?" West says, his breathe on my neck slightly as I've relaxed into his chest, and all I can think of is all the inappropriate things that went through my head and I can't even blame it on tiredness fully.
"I'm fine, just a bit tense, thanks for not freaking out or anything, can't imagine that was fun for you, and can you just hold me?" at this point I'm to annoyed at myself to care about how needy I may sound.
"I actually didn't find it too bad, I wasn't really thinking about me, never had a girl spasm on me before, and now I've just realised how bad that sounds." He laughs, and I laugh too, he pulls me to him and he begins to stroke my sides again.
"Glad I'm not the only one whose head was a bit, umm, dirty, for a few seconds." I smirk, feeling better already, I like being able to say exactly what I want when I'm with West, it's a relief.
"Oh, I didn't say that, but thanks for letting me know what you were thinking about while I was genuinely concerned about you." West says trying to be serious, but I can hear the smirk in his voice as he speaks, because of my spasms, I didn't realise how warm I was till I was relaxed against West, as I go to take off my jumper, I'm very aware that West still has his arms around my waist and I gently try and tug the bottom of my jumper free without him noticing, which nearly works, but then my arm spasms and hits his hand, mental facepalm again, West gives me a look that is asking if I need help and I smile letting him know I'd be grateful, so he slowly sits me up and turns me round, making sure my legs are comfortable on either side of him. Now we are face to face, this feels way more intense then I thought it would, I can feel West's hands slowly pulling my jumper up as I pull my arms out gently, he places the jumper on the sofa and puts one hand back on my waist to steady my shaky torso and his other hand rests on my left side of my face, stroking my cheek, and in the first time in a year or so, I feel wanted in a way that I haven't since Seth, and I know what I want to do, I just don't know if I have the courage yet, or is it too soon as I've only known him twenty-four hours, but while I'm thinking of all these different scenarios and questions, West makes my decision much easier by pulling me closer to him.
"West... As much as I want to kiss you right now, I don't want you to regret kissing the disabled girl, I value your friendship way to much to lose it if your not sure about whatever will happen after and I mean that in the emotion-" West cuts me off by pulling my face to his, and I lean closer hoping to god I can do this without a spasm insight, as our lips are about to meet, the world might as well have come crashing down.
"Effie, I'm home, Why is there male shoes and another bag down here." Says my dearest mother, E.G the meteor heading toward my happy little planet.
