The next day (aka Sunday for them)

Katie
"Gale is a total butthole." I snap.

"Yeah but he's a hot butthole," Izzy says causing me to break out into a laughing fit.

We are currently watching the Hunger Games movies for the eighth time, in my room.

After yesterday and the whole Wyatt incident, I was really quiet and Tyler picked up on that.

(My dad wouldn't be home till Monday so Tyler stayed the night with Derek)

Tyler called Izzy and told her about me. She insisted on coming over this morning.

Which she did bright and early.

We made the guys breakfast then we took Logan for a walk, where Izzy made me tell her every detail from yesterday.

I finally concluded that I didn't like Wyatt, I was just caught up in the moment.
Izzy thinks I'm lying to myself.

It's 12:30; Izzy and I are in my room watching movies which is pretty normal for us to do on Sundays.

The door to my room slams open and Tyler walks in. "No, no girls only!" I yelled chucking a pillow at him.

He gives me puppy dog eyes. "Please Ava, came over I don't want to be with them."

Ava is Derek's girlfriend and I understand why Tyler doesn't want to hang out with them.

Izzy looks at me with a frown. "Aww Katie, look at those puppy dog eyes how so can you say no?"

I sigh. "Fine."

Tyler smiles and leaps onto my bed. Luckily I have a king-size bed. After Tyler's mom got divorced she redecorated her room and I took her bed.

Izzy giggles and I unpause the movie. Tyler rests his head on Izzy's stomach.

You would think them being all cuddly and stuff would bother me, but after them being together so long you get used to it. As long as there not sucking face I'm fine.

My phone dings and Izzy grabs it. "Wyatt texted you. He asked 'What are you doing'?"

"Give me that." I snap snatching my phone from her.

I respond.

Me: Watching a movie with Iz. What about you?

Just Wyatt: Nothing, just watching the news.

"You should invite him over." Izzy is watching me over my shoulder.

Me and Tyler stare at her with gaping mouths.

"Why?" We ask at the same time.

"Because he's bored and it would be fun," Izzy states like it's obvious.

"He's not bored," I argue.

"Katie, he's watching the news. He wants you to invite him over!"

I fold my arms across my chest. "I don't know, Iz."

She stares at me. "If you don't I will."

Tyler laughs. "Woman, you're nuts."

"Fine." I throw my hands in the air.

Me: Do you want to come over and watch a movie with us?

Just Wyatt: Sure, I'll be over in five.

"He said yes."

"Of course he did." Izzy mumbles.

I look around my room. It is a mess.

I pause the TV and start cleaning up.

"Kat, your acting a little cray cray," Tyler says.

"He can't see this mess!" I snap.

I look at my hair in my mirror. It's down and wavy from where I let it dry naturally after washing it last night.

"Sweetie, you look fine and so does your room," Izzy says reassuringly.

I sigh. "Don't start the movie till I get back."

Tyler moans. "Why did you suggest this?"

Izzy hits him.

I run downstairs to get some snacks. I catch my reflection on the sliding door. I was so worried about my room I forgot to change my clothes.

I'm wearing one of Derek's old shirts that didn't fit him anymore and very short shorts. I turn to go change but there's a knock on the door.

"Crap!"

Wyatt
When Katie opens the door shes wearing a slightly oversized shirt with short shorts.

Damn. That woman can look hot in anything.

I notice her checking me out too. I'm wearing gray sweatpants and a black T-shirt.

I almost put on jeans, but I decided against them. The way she was staring at me tells me she didn't mind.

"Are you going to invite me inside? I know I'm hot and all, but the staring is getting a little weird." I say with a smirk.

Katie rolls her eyes. "Don't make me regret inviting you."

I follow her to her kitchen. "What are we watching?"

Katie grabs a bag of chips and a box of goldfish. "Hunger Games. Well, we've already watched most of the first one."

I watched the movies a few times over the years. My dad loved those movies.

"That's okay. The second one is the best anyway."

Katie smiles. "Right! That's what I told Izzy but she thinks the last one is the best."

I take some of the food from her arms and follow her upstairs.

She opens the door to her room and I follow her in.

I stand there staring at her room like an idiot.

The walls are white except the wall behind her bed (which is huge) is painted light purple, she had a huge bookcase that is full of books and there are tons of ribbons hanging on one wall. One said champion and two said reserved champion and the door to her closet is covered in photos. There are a few spots on the door that still needed a picture, hopefully, one day I'll be one on it.

Hold up Wyatt, that's a little too far.

I glance at the bed and see Katie sitting down beside Izzy and Tyler. Tyler is currently resting his head on Izzy's stomach. I sit down beside Katie and lean against a pillow.

I was going to eat some of the chips Katies eating, but after the glare Tyler gives me; I lose my appetite.

After the first movie is over Katie gets up to put in the second. Tyler goes to use the bathroom.
When he comes back he sits beside Izzy and pulls her to his chest.

Katie sits down right beside me instead of cuddling beside Izzy like she was earlier. Tyler notices and glares yet again. If he keeps this up his face is going to permanently glare.

Izzy notices and elbows him in the stomach.

I learn that Katie is the type of person that likes to make funny comments about the characters as the movie is playing. Which I find pretty funny.

Izzy finally shushes her and Katie stops.

Twenty minutes into the movie and Tyler falls asleep.

About halfway through I feel this weight on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Katie asleep against me.

She looks so cute cuddling beside me. I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the movie.

When the credits roll Izzy clears her throat.
"Wyatt, please don't hurt her."

I shake my head. "Izzy there's-."

She puts her hand up to stop me. "I don't care what you say. Im just telling you don't break her heart. I can tell a difference when she's with you. It takes a lot for Katie to be open with someone, and she's that way with you."

I nod my head in understanding. "I won't."

Izzy smiles. "Good, it would be a shame for Clearwater to lose their star Quarterback."

For some reason, Izzy's threat scared me more than Tyler's.

Izzy nudges Katie awake. I glance down at her hugging my arm.

"Iz, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Katie slurs, as she opens her eyes slightly.

"Like what you feel," I say smirking down at Katie.

She opens her eyes fully and gives my arm a light squeeze. "Nah, I've felt better."

I hear Izzy scoff and mutter, "Who's arm have you felt beside his?"

Katie sits up. "Aww, let's wake up sleeping beauty."

She leans down to Tyler's ear.
"Tyler!"

He rubs his ear. "Geez Kat, come on."

Izzy frowns at Tyler. "You fell asleep during the movie."

"So did Kat!" Tyler yells.

Katie sighs and lays her head on my thighs and puts her legs across Izzy and Tyler.

I feel my body tense, but Katie seems so relaxed as if she does this every day.

I can't help but stare down at her. She is perfect.

But she could never be mine. Great way to ruin the mood, Wyatt.

Katie taps my nose and it wakes me from my trance. "Just Wyatt, can you hand me my phone."

I pick her phone up off her nightstand beside the bed.

Her home screen flashes. It's a picture from my lesson on Sammy. It wasn't one of the pictures Izzy took of us on the horses it was one she took of me hugging Katie after I got off.

"Kate, I'm surprised your home screen is a picture with me in it."

Katie scrunches her brows. "You did say we had to."

"Yes, but I figured you would keep the one we took that day on your truck." Katie's face flushes as she realizes what I said.

She snatches her phone from me. "I just thought this picture is more 'coupley' than the other one."

"Mmhm." I hum. Katie just rolls her eyes.

"We should do something." Tyler chirps.

"We are doing something," Katie replies without looking up from her phone.

"No shit, Kat. But we so do something other than silently scrolling through our phones."

Katie lays her phone on her chest and grins.
I noticed that she has a certain grin she does before she teases someone.

"Are you uncomfortable Tyler? Is that why you want to do something else?"

Tyler grins. "No, actually I'm comfortable, maybe too comfortable."

I hold back a laugh when Katie kicks Tyler and he punches her leg. "Enough both of you! I'm sorry Wyatt they have no manners." Izzy scolds.

"Iz, it's not my fault your dating an idiot," Katie states.

"Hey, at least I'm not a pig." Tyler throws back.

Katie narrows her eyes even though Tyler can't see her. "If I'm a pig then that makes you a warthog with a big fat ass."

"Correction, a warthog with a nice juicy ass," Tyler says confidently. 

"Let's play volleyball!" Izzy yells, breaking up their bickering.

"You have a volleyball net?" I ask.

Katie sighs. "Yeah. Me, Ty, and Derek bought Izzy one for Christmas in eighth grade because she wanted to join the volleyball team. But Mush Brains over there ordered the wrong size and it didn't fit in Izzy's yard so we kept it here."

I sit down beside Katie as she watches Tyler and Izzy yell back and forth while trying to put the volleyball net together.

"How good is Izzy at volleyball?"

Katie snorts. "If she didn't slice her hand open the day before tryouts she would have made the team."

After they get the net set up Katie and I join them. "Lochner, ready for me to kick your ass?"
Katie asks Tyler grinning.

"Kat, if I remember correctly I beat you last time."

Izzy interrupts them before another argument can unfold. "Who's playing with who?"

"I'm not playing with Tyler," Katie says with her arms crossed.

"Okay, let's play couple against couple. And the losing team makes dinner."

"Deal." Katie and Tyler say at the same time.

We're currently tied and Tyler serves the ball. Katie goes to hit it and right before she hits it someone sprays her with water. "Damn it, Derek!" Katie yells dripping wet.

Derek is laughing and holding a water hose. "Favor paid in full, Ty."

Tyler nods his head laughing.

Katies fighting a smile. "You're both asses!"

I walk over to Katie and wipe the wet hair out of her face. "Let's beat their ass baby," I whisper in Katie's ear.

She smiles. "You're paying for that, Lochner!"

Katie and I end up winning because Tyler trips and misses the ball.

Katie leaps onto me screaming. "We won!"

I laugh. "Yeah, we did!"

"Haha, karma's a bitch isn't it?" Katie yells to Tyler over my shoulder. I turn to see Tyler flip Katie off.

Katie slides off me suddenly realizing what she is doing and tucks her hair behind her ear. I can tell she's embarrassed so I wrap her in a tight hug.

Even if it was for a second Katie trusted me enough to let her walls down.

Izzy orders Taco Bell for dinner and we all eat.
I talk with Tyler and Derek for a while and Katie and Izzy sit in the living room.

"Guys, get your butts in here and watch Back To The Future with us!" Izzy yells.

Tyler picks Izzy up out of the recliner she's sitting in and places her on his lap, Derek stops his wheelchair beside them. I sit down beside Katie on the sofa.

I lay my feet out on their ottoman. Katie moves beside me and lays her head on my stomach stretching her legs out beside mine.

"Derek, do you have parking breaks for your wheelchair?" Katie asks Derek in a mock-serious voice.

"No, do you have to use your boyfriend's stomach as a pillow?"

I feel my face heat but Katie stays calm. "Yes, because it's very comfortable."

I see Derek's eyes harden and Tyler is fighting a smile.

I guess Tyler finally warmed up to me.

I feel my phone vibrate. I glance and see I have a text from Izzy.

Iz: do not show Katie this picture.

She sends me three pictures of me and Katie sitting together.

Me: Why not?

Iz: She will slit my throat

Me: Sounds like a you problem 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Iz: Katie is right you really are arrogant.

Me: 😝

After an hour of Katie laying on my stomach, I bite the bullet and tell her I need to go to the bathroom. I've been holding it for twenty minutes.

"Baby, I have to go to the bathroom."

Katie frowns. "How bad?"

I smile. "Like really bad."

She dramatically sighs. "Okay, I'll get up." She sits up and I go to the bathroom.

When I come back Katie's on the other side of the couch snuggled under a blanket. She doesn't sit with me the rest of the night.

I get a text from my mom.

Mother dearest: Wy, where are you!?
Mother dearest: I'm not playing! Where the hell are you?

Me: Ma, relax I'm at Katie's.

Mother dearest: Oh ok that's no problem!

Me: I'll be home in a few.

Mother dearest: Okay, no rush!!

I look over at Katie. "I'm going to head home."

She frowns slightly. "I'll walk you to your car."

I stand up and Tyler says, "It was nice having you over, I'll see you tomorrow." I smile at him.

Izzy is asleep in his lap.

Katie walks me to my car. "Thanks for coming over."

I smile. "Thanks for inviting me I had fun."

Katie hugs me suddenly. "I'll see you tomorrow!"
