As a fan of horror movies, I've always been intrigued by the thrill of fear and the adrenaline rush that comes with it. However, my parents took their love for horror to the next level.
They were true aficionados, devouring every single scary movie that ever existed. Despite knowing that some of them terrified me, they could not resist the lure of spine-chilling plotlines and jump scares.
Their enthusiasm for the genre was contagious, and I couldn't help but admire them for their unwavering passion.
As the long-awaited day for my best friend Walker's sleepover arrived, my heart was pounding with excitement. I had been waiting for this day for weeks, and I couldn't wait to spend time with my closest friend. However, there was one potential obstacle: my overprotective dad. He had always been suspicious of Walker's intentions towards me and believed that he had a crush on me.
To put his doubts to no rest, my dad had devised a plan to test Walker's loyalty respect, and feelings for me. As soon as Walker arrived, my dad took him aside and explained his expectations. Walker nodded seriously, and I could tell he was determined to prove himself. From that moment on, we had an unforgettable sleepover, filled with laughter, games, and good food.
When it was time to choose a movie to watch, my parents and I couldn't agree on which one to go for. Eventually, they settled on the scariest movie they could find. When I spoke to Walker, I expressed my regret about the movie. However, to my surprise, he didn't seem to be upset or bothered by it. He appeared to be perfectly fine with the movie.
I was seated in between my mom and Walker with my mom on my right and Walker on my left. As the movie started, my mom quickly dozed off, completely unaffected by the creepy scenes. My dad, on the other hand, remained stoic throughout the movie, not even flinching at the jump scares or terrifying moments. It was quite an experience, to say the least!
As I watched the movie, I found myself getting scared more than once. Each time, I felt the urge to hold onto my mom for comfort, but she was already resting her head on my dad's shoulder. Suddenly, another scene appeared, and I jumped up in fear once again.
This time, I found myself grabbing onto Walker's arm and holding onto it for dear life while cuddling up to him as he wrapped his arms around me protectively.
It was almost as if he knew exactly what I needed at that moment. My dad noticed this and saw the way Walker was holding me as if he was trying to shield me from whatever was scaring me.
During the movie, there was a particularly disturbing scene that made me feel sick to my stomach. I couldn't bear to watch it, so I buried my face in Walker's chest and closed my eyes tightly. To shield me from the sound, he covered my ears with his hands and gave me a gentle kiss on the head while whispering that the scene would be over soon.
casting a soft glow on my dad, Walker, Mom, and me as we snuggled up on the couch. I held Walker, close to me, feeling his warm body against mine. As the movie progressed, the silence was suddenly broken by a loud cough from my dad, causing me to jump and let out an involuntary yelp. My dad chuckled at my reaction, and I couldn't help but shoot him a death stare for scaring me.
Despite the initial shock, I held onto Walker tightly, feeling his body shiver in my arms. I could feel my heart racing as I struggled to calm down and focus back on the movie. only occasionally glancing over at my dad to make sure he wasn't going to scare me again.
As the movie came to an end, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment for making it through the entire film without further interruption. I held onto Walker a little while longer, enjoying the warmth and comfort he provided. Overall, it had been a nice evening spent with my dad and my best friend whom I had a crush on, despite the momentary scare.
As the movie ended, the night grew quieter, and everything became eerie. Though I tried to put on a brave face, I couldn't shake off the feeling of fear that crept in. As I lay in bed, I tossed and turned, but sleep refused to come. I decided to get up and walked over to the floor where Walker was sleeping in his cozy sleeping bag.
To my surprise, he was wide awake too. Feeling a little embarrassed, I asked him if he minded if I slept next to him. He nodded, and I crawled in, resting my head on his chest.
His heartbeat was fast, and I initially thought it was because of the movie that had just ended. However, he seemed to have something on his mind and suddenly asked me, "Can I tell you something, Y/n?" I sat up, and he did the same, looking me straight in the eye.
"I liked how I held you tonight and I want to do that more often.." he said to which I replied "Yeah we should have sleepovers more often," I said but he didn't like that "I might... I want to be with you," he said placing his hand on my mine and my face blows up in redness "DAD!!!!! you were right" was all I was thinking
I looked at him with a smile on my face and leaned in to kiss his cheek gently. As my lips made contact with his skin, I could feel the warmth spreading underneath, causing his cheek to blush and turn a delicate shade of red.
His face lit up with a wide, toothy grin, and he wrapped his warm arms around me, pulling me into a tight embrace. Despite our restless state,
we both settled back down, content in the moment. It was a night that would be etched in my memory forever, a moment of pure happiness and joy that I would never forget.
