The Moment

Rains POV
Ash could be here any minute , and I still haven't gotten ready.
Oh well, I'll just rush I don't have time to take a shower so I guess ill load up on perfume.
I pulled on my falling in reverse sweatshirt, black skinnies, and all black high tops converse.
I tried to hurry to get into the bathroom to straighten my hair and put my makeup on, but was delayed because I ran into the door way. Of course I would do that.
I got in and turned on my straightener.
While waiting for it to heat up I grabbed my eyeliner and put a nice medium thick line on, circling my blue eyes.
Next to go on was my eye shadow in what I called my seductive look, and fake lashes that were called "mesmerizing" on the box.
I was having difficulties getting the falsies to stick right, I pushed my sleeves up in frustration.
Once I finally got them on, I blended the falsies into my own with my 'better than sex' mascara as fast as I could and started to straighten my hair.
I had just finished when I heard a knock on the door.
I got down stairs before my mom noticed, let Ash and apparently Andy in, and pulled them upstairs and into my room.
"Hey guys." I calmly said.
"Why did you shove us in here?" Andy questioned.
Ashley and I looked at each other. He knew why.
"Um well. My mom isn't very pleasant." I said while pulling my sleeves down trying to hide the evidence of how unpleasant life with her is.
"Oh."
"Yea but its okay. She shouldn't bother us." I said trying to make the mood lighter.
Ashley and Andy looked at each other as if planning some crazy scheme.
Just like I thought they were planning something.
They both ran to me, Ashley grabbing my arms and pinning me to my bed.
Andy came over and freed Ashley from pinning my arms down.
Within seconds Ashley was tickling me.
I screamed playfully and tried to wiggle out.
Of course he was stronger than me, so I failed.
"Ash let me go!" I said in between giggles.
"Hmmm, how 'bout no."
"Fine but if I kick you it's not my fault." I said still trying to speak between giggles.
Those were the magic words.
He stopped tickling me, but was still on top of me, looking directly into my eyes.
I turned my head, adverting my eyes, to keep from being pulled into a trance of sorts.
I could get lost in his warm, brown eyes for days.
He probably noticed he was kind of being weird and got off.
"At least we had fun while it lasted" he said smoothly, looking over at Andy.
I got up and playfully hit Ashley on the shoulder, then opened the window letting the fresh air in.
"Let's go for a walk guys." I said still having to catch my breath.
"Okay." Andy and Ashley said simultaneously.
We headed out of the house and walked the same way me and Ashley had before.
Once we got to where the woods started we walked along the outer edge.
We went past where I usually would stop and turn back, and stumbled upon a section that looked like an entrance.
"Guys we should go in." I said excitedly.
Andy and Ashley looked at me like I was crazy.
"No." they said in unison. "There is probably bugs and poison ivy." Finished Andy.
"If you guys won't come with me I'll just go by myself." I softly stated while walking in slowly.
"Wait for me Rain!" shouted Ashley.
A smile crept onto my face as soon as I heard those words.
I grabbed his hand and walked along with him until we heard Andy run in to catch up.
"You miss us?" I said jokingly.
"Nah. I just didn't want to look weird just standing there."
We were wandering around in there for at least 10 minutes until we came upon it.
A tall oak, probably really old, that had a little tree house in it.
I circled around until I came across a ladder and climbed up.
It was small, but still sturdy. There was a deck of cards, and 2 old mildew smelling pillows on the floor.
Everything was covered with dust, even this old antique chest in the corner.
I opened it to see a bunch of blankets, flashlights, and replacement batteries.
I looked at the blankets; they were thick quilts to be exact. They didn't smell bad and didn't have any rips in them.
They were in perfect condition. I really didn't want to go back home, and thought about just staying up here.
I heard whispers coming from down where Andy and Ashley were, but ignored it until I heard someone climbing up the ladder.
"Hey, what's taking you so….. Whoa this is pretty cool." Ashley whispered.
"Yea it is I kinda want to just spend the night here. It's not like my mom will notice I'm gone." I whispered back.
She wont, she'll be too busy being drunk. Unless she gets in the mood to be a little... punchy.
"Wait. Why are we whispering." I said in a normal tone.
"I don't really know, but it would be cool to stay up here."
"You know if you stay with me Andy has to stay too." I told him.
"Yea… it could be like a fun hang out." Ashley calmly replied "but before we tell him I just need to do this again"
"Do what?" I questioned.
"This..." he said while leaning in to kiss me.
I leaned in too, and our lips met just like they did last time.
I got butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I pulled back with a little grin on my face.
I gave him a little peck on his lips then started to climb down.
Ashley followed shortly after, slightly tripping on one of the steps on the ladder.
I hopped down, skipping a few of the last steps and went over to Andy.
"Hey so we were gonna stay up here for tonight. There are blankets, a deck of cards, flashlights, and these 2 old nasty pillows. One of us could always run back to my place to get better ones off my bed, or we could just ball up the extra blankets to use instead." I quickly told him.
"Yea that would be cool. There's nothing to do on the bus so a night in a tree house in the woods would be better than sitting there." He said.
I started jumping up and down with joy just thinking about spending the night up there.
We could have so much fun. We headed out and back to my house to grab the pillows, and some other things so that we be entertained.
My mom almost noticed us, but was too drunk to really pay attention so we were all good.
After making our way back we spent a good time making everything really comfy.
This is going to be a fun night.
