( 005. 'night debunked' )

AFTER THEIR ice cream date, walker couldn't stop thinking about ariella. it had been the most relaxed he'd felt in a while, and the more he thought about her, the more he realized that something was definitely different about the connection they had.

ariella was better than any girl who ever called walker their celeb crush, they clicked, in a way that felt more real than anything he'd experienced before. and, of course, that had his mind racing. as soon as he got home, he collapsed onto his bed, phone in hand.

LEAH

walker quickly put his phone down, running his hands through his hair. he could definitely admit that aryan was a bit right, it was something about ariella that was just different. but he felt absolutely insane for thinking it in the first week, on the first day of meeting her. he layed on his bed and stared up at the ceiling for a minute before getting another text.

"CHOCOLATE GIRL" has sent you 1 new message

CHOCOLATE GIRL
hey walkie, wanna ft?

walker smiled to himself, practically grinning. he didn't expect this at all, but it definitely wasn't an invite he was going to turn down, he quickly unlocked his phone and typed back.

VANILLA LOVER
hey ari, ofcc

he hit send and almost immediately regretted it. of course?  had he really just said that? it was a bit eager, but honestly? he didn't care. It was ariella. and somehow, the thought of talking to her again was enough to make him forget about the weird desperate texting. a few seconds later, walker was sitting on his bed, his phone propped up on a stack of books as he waited for her call. when the notification popped up, he immediately clicked to answer. 

walker smiled when he saw ariellas face on the screen, a warmth spreading through him as soon as their eyes met. she had let her hair down since earlier, and her dark curls framed her face in a way that made her look beautiful. he couldn't help but notice the deep dimples that appeared on her cheeks when she smiled. she was wearing a hoodie and her hair looked a little messy, but it suited her.

ariella's face appeared on the screen, a smile lighting up her face. "hey walkie, whatcha doinggg?"

walker shifted awkwardly on his bed, but the fact that he was talking to her made him forget about any sort of awkwardness he usually felt. "uhh.. honestly, not really. just chilling. i was kinda just zoning out when you messaged me."

ariella tilted her head slightly, giving him a confused look. "zoning out? about what?"

he ran a hand through his hair, suddenly feeling a little self-aware. "uh... i don't know. just thinking about stuff." he wasn't sure if he was ready to tell her what was really on his mind—her. he cleared his throat. "but enough about me. what are you doing?"

she sighed, resting her head on her palm. "honestly im still thinking about the whole night, teen choice awards was crazy." 

walker grinned, rubbing his face. "yeah, i'm still in shock we actually won."

ariella laughed, her dimples making an appearance. "no same. but it was fun, right? i'm so glad we got to experience that together. i still can't believe we were sitting in that room full of celebrities, and then we won."

walker smiled at her through the phone. "i was in a daze the whole time. buttt hey, at least we made it through without embarrassing ourselves."

ariella shifted herself so that she was laying on her pillow, "yea but ice cream was so funn."

he laughed and then rolled his eyes "yes but you posted that off guard picture of me, i looked so chopped." 

ariella looked at him through the screen, "no you dont, you look-looked, cute"

walker smiled, "thank you ari, you looked very cute aswell."

the two continued talking for what felt like hourss, about random topics like the ice cream "date", more teen choice celebeites, just talking about whatever came to mind. by the time walker looked at his clock it was around 2 am. looking back at the screen he could see ariella almost asleep, curls spread out around her face and on her pillow. with her breathing slowing down and her eyes opening and closing. 

"ariella?" walker questioned quielty, wanting to see if the girl was still at least somewhat awake.

"mhm?" she replied, not missing a beat. she sounded so sleepy, like she could fall asleep in the next 3 seconds. 

she yawned slightly, closing her eyes once more. "you should go to sleep ari." walker stated, watching her struggle to stay up. 

"no no, i want to stay up. we're talking." she pouted, trying to make herself sit up to stay awake. ariella could feel her stomach flutter immediately after hearing him say her nickname.

"no- im ok im awake-"

"sleep, ari." walker cut her off. "ill be here when you wake up, and then we can talk about whatever you want." he said with a soft smile.

"ok, ill sleep." ariella mumbled into her pillow, her weight going down into her bed. "goodnight, walkie." she whispered falling asleep as soon as she said it. 

"goodnight, ariella," she whispered, her voice soft. "talk soon."

the call went quiet, and ariella drifted off to sleep, a smile still lingering on her face.
