"Mmhmm," she hummed in response, loving the feel of him squirming just a bit. She knew right where his ticklish spot was, aimed for it often enough, but when she was sitting on him like she was, she didn't think it was all that great of an idea to actually hit that spot. With him tickling her, accidentally or not, she was pretty sure it would be all right, after all, she could easily fall off to the side of him...really, that didn't sound like a bad idea.
When he started babbling out loud, Felicity grinned. It was funny to see him do that.
"I hope your going to see me before then," she answered him. After all, it was the last week of March, not even that close to her birthday yet. And Felicity didn't think he'd make her wait two long weeks without seeing him, or she hoped not at least. Sometimes the only thing that got her through a day was seeing Drew.
Lightly dragging her fingers up from his side to where she sat, she began tracing little designs into his chest, mostly hearts. The blonde was finding she really enjoyed just sitting there, doing nothing but making plans with the Ravenclaw.

"I was also... also thinking..." he started, losing his train of thought half-way through as her fingers across his chest distracted him. Merlin, he loved when she did that. He closed his eyes just for a moment, enjoying the slight tickling sensation as her fingers lightly traced over lines only she could see. He gave a soft but audible sigh and it was the sound that snapped him out of his small daydream.
"I was thinking about taking that hike around the lake," he said quickly, hoping she hadn't noticed his lapse. "I could... I could get one of those big hiker packs and we...we could put a bunch of stuff in it... and... and we could even get, like a group going or... or something..."

"Mmmhmm..." she hummed again, waiting for him to continue what he was going to say. He was pausing, like someone had put him into slow-mode, and she found it adorable. The blue eyes were closed, which was the only bad thing Felicity could think of at that moment, but she didn't mind too much. After all, he would open his eyes again at some point, and she could look into them then. On the other hand, those eyes really were something else, and her smile stretched a bit when he seemed to wake up.
It'd been a while since they'd discussed the hike he wanted to take. Really, she had kind of forgotten about it, working on figuring out how to set up the cook-off she wanted to do for Hiro. But, she was glad to know, Drew hadn't forgotten about the hike.
Wrinkling her freckled nose a bit, she giggled at the thought of Drew walking around with a hiking pack on his back.
"We could..." she told him, agreeing with whatever he wanted to do. She knew he had talked about it being her, him, and Celina, and Felicity was still fine with that idea, or if he wanted more people along, she was fine with that too.
Pulling the hand she was holding to lay across his chest, palm up, Felicity softly began tracing the lines in his hand. "I'm up for whatever you want to do with that."

Drew grinned when she wrinkled her nose and giggled. He wasn't sure what was so funny, but dang if she didn't look cute doing that.
"Any... is there anyone else you'd want to... want to ask along?" he stuttered, still finding it hard to think. He didn't think she was really teasing him on purpose, so what was she doing? Did she even know? She had to know. Or was he just reading things wrong again? But how else could it be read when he had a pretty girl on his midsection, drawing lines and swirls across his chest?
Maybe, just maybe, she was pretending they were still together like he was? And if they were both pretending they were together, was it really pretending anymore? He didn't know.

"We were going to ask Celina, right?" she brought up, not even thinking about anyone else at that moment. The other Ravenclaw was her best friend, and she wouldn't feel right not including her when the plan had at first been for all three of them. "And I don't know...do you think maybe Hiro and Charlie might be up for it?"
The blonde still felt horrible about ruining their birthday party, but she was hoping the cook-off would make up for it. Besides, it would be fun to include them, and not just her friend. Drew didn't have to ask her about including anyone, she would gladly comply with what he wanted, as long as they didn't argue about it, or argue when it was time.
"I don't really have a preference, anyone you want along is fine by me." Even if it was the Slytherin girl she still didn't know how to feel about, she would put up with anyone as long as Drew wanted to spend time with her, and maybe hold her hand again.

"Well, yeah, we'll ask Celina," he answered, figuring that was a given. Aside from the fact that he wanted Celina there, it would be downright rude not to ask her, considering she had been part of the original discussion about it.
She was tracing lines on his hand and he did the same, letting his fingers lace through hers gently as he continued. "And sure, I think Hiro and Charlie would like to come," he added, wondering if it would go as well as the birthday party. Throw Celina in the mix and who knew what would happen.

So Celina was a yes to invite along, and Charlie and Hiro. That made five of them, which was a good number, but there were more girls than boys. Who could they invite for Celina? There had to be someone...Corey, but Felicity wasn't sure why she wasn't too fond of asking Corey along for Celina. Or maybe that new Hufflepuff? Did Celina know him yet? He was really nice, but then Felicity thought maybe it sounded weird. What if the dark haired girl didn't like him, or he didn't like trailing, and she was pretty sure Drew didn't know him. Actually, either of them. However, Caleb was in his year, so he should know him.
"What about asking Celina's brother?" she suddenly asked. The blonde had yet to meet him, and she knew Celina liked him, so why not? And Drew had met him before, so maybe he'd like to go along?
Her smile was slowly growing as his fingers followed suite of hers, going around and around, making the slightest of sensations that felt extremely nice.

"Alfonz?" Drew asked, not really liking the idea on so many levels. "He's kind of like a professor now, right?" And a bully, and an egomaniac, and a suspected Deva member, and probably a killjoy when it came to any sort of adventure type thing... Drew continued to himself, knowing he could probably list a dozen more reasons not to ask Celina's brother. "I really don't know if that's such a great idea." He'd sooner ask van Aller along than Alfonz Jedynak.

"Mmmhmmm," she hummed. Alfonz, that was his name, and he kind of was like a Professor, but not really. The quidditch referees didn't really do much, other than referee quidditch. And even then, Quidditch wasn't being played. They taught the first years how to fly, but only the first years that she knew of. When Drew tacked on that he didn't think it was a good idea, she felt a little disappointed. Why wasn't it a good idea? Celina liked her brother a lot, and Felicity was sure he had to be a nice guy if Celina liked him.
"I mean, he's only kind of a professor, but he is Celina's brother. And Celina likes him a lot, and since there are three girl's going and only two boys, there should be another boy, right?" And then another thought came to mind, were Drew and Celina even speaking anymore? Maybe he'd only said Celina could go along because she mentioned the girl's name. And Celina had cried that day about things Drew had said to her, but she wouldn't go into detail about it. And as far as the blonde knew, they weren't speaking again yet. "Or...or Celina doesn't have to come..."
Dropping her gaze with her thoughts, Felicity's hand became stationary on Drew's. She didn't like the idea of her best friend not going along, but she didn't want Drew to not have a good time since she didn't think they were still talking.

"Why does it have to be even?" Drew asked, not sure about that particular reason. If Felicity was thinking about some sort of triple date kind ofthing, then Alfonz really shouldn't be invited. That was just... creepy. And taking Alfonz out of the equation, he really didn't want to pair Celina up with a guy she might not like. That was just rude. "Two guys and three girls are okay."
Besides, it wasn't like Charlie was really a real girl.

"Because it would be nice," the blonde answered. "I mean, even numbers means everyone would have a conversation partner." It would mean everyone had an ear for another and there would be no extra wheel. Or at least, Felicity thought of it that way. If there was someone Celina liked along, then she wouldn't feel left out, and the blonde hadn't heard anything more about that one boy so she didn't know they were even talking anymore.
"And if you don't want, Celina I guess doesn't have to come along, I was just...I mean, I thought...I just thought that since that had been the original idea, that she should still come, but she doesn't have to if you don't want her to." If they weren't talking still, then he probably didn't want her along anyway. "And I don't want her to feel weird or off because of any of us. I mean, I don't want her to feel forced to come along and not have a good time. If Alfonz was there, then she'd be sure to have a good time, because they get along so well."

He was getting confused again, but one thing was for sure. He wasn't going to have Alfonz Jedynak ruin his hike no matter what.
"What are you talking about, everyone has a conversation partner?" he asked, really not understanding any of her points. "It's not like we'd exclude and go off as couples."
"And what are you talking about, not inviting Celina? Why wouldn't we invite Celina?" he asked, really confused by that bit. "I thought you guys made up and all. We had all talked about it together. Of course we'd ask her along."

Couples? No, Felicity hadn't thought of it as a date in any way, she just meant that would be nice to have even numbers. Odd numbers always seemed liked someone was being a wheel of sorts, when really it wasn't always the case, and Celina wouldn't ever be an extra wheel in Felicity's opinion, but she didn't want the girl to feel odd either.
"I know that," she told him, trying to keep calm. Even the littlest of things, the smallest of points in trying to make someone feel a bit more included and she felt like she was screwing everything up all over again. "I just don't want her to feel like she's an extra person because she's the odd one out. Charlie, me, Hiro and you. That's two boys and two girls. I know Celina wouldn't want to be an odd number, throwing balance completely out of proportion."
And Felicity was pretty sure her best friend would see it that exact way. Of course, Felicity got along with Alexander, but she didn't think Celina knew him, and the blonde couldn't really think of anyone else in they both knew and liked, other than Corey...and Felicity didn't want Corey along to make even numbers for Celina. But why not? It would make sense, but so did Alfonz. The Gryffindor had yet to meet him, and she was looking forward to it, not to mention Celina and he were very close. She'd have a good time, not feel left out, and things would be all right.
"We did make up," Felicity insisted, finding it hard to try and maintain any form of anger with him when he was beneath her like he was. For one, he looked so adorable it was hard to try to think of any logical way to make what they were talking about into an argument, though it felt like one to her; and for two, she was trying very hard not to let it turn into an argument. Even if it felt like that was the only way to go with it. And just why was that? Why did arguing with him seem to be the only way to do things? She knew it wasn't, disliked it more than almost anything else, and she really, really liked him still. So why did they have to argue about everything?
"But you guys aren't talking, right?" Drew hadn't said anything to her about the two getting along just fine, and Celina hadn't said one word about it either, so the only thing left for her to assume was that they still weren't speaking to each other, like Celina had last told her.

Drew didn't remember telling Felicity that he and Celina hadn't been talking... so had Celina said it? Maybe things weren't better between the two Ravenclaws? He wasn't sure. "I... I thought we were talking..." he said, wondering what Felicity knew that he didn't.
"Maybe we should just keep it us three then," Drew suggested, figuring three friends wouldn't cause any awkward feelings (assuming they were still all friends that is). It really was hard to get upset or frustrated with Felicity sitting on his tomach like she was, but he really didn't understand her reasons. He didn't think there would be a problem with Hiro, since Drew knew he and Celina got along, and they could probably keep Charlie in line if they had to, but maybe just going back to the original plan was best. He really didn't want to go on his hike with Alfonz.

"When we made up she said you weren't talking," Felicity told him. It'd been a month prior that the two girls had made up, kissed, hugged, and cried, but Celina hadn't said anything of the two Ravenclaws making up, so she assumed they hadn't. Or what if they had and neither told her...? And with that thought, the lioness felt hurt, but then again she hadn't exactly told Celina she and Drew broke up either. And Drew hadn't told her he and Celina weren't on speaking terms. It was all a screwed up, messed up school of different thoughts. Maybe she should just swallow her pride, make it more real than ever, and admit to Celina she and Drew weren't dating. But she didn't want to admit that, not when it felt right to be with him, when she could still hold his hand and kind of act like they were together, even though they weren't.
Maybe she should just let it go and get used to the idea that he probably didn't want to be with her. Why would he want to be? She wasn't anything special, and she broke up with Drew, and it just didn't make sense that he could possibly want her the way she wanted him.
"She's still going to feel like an extra person," Felicity pointed out to him blatantly. "Why can't Alfonz just come with us? He's not really a professor, and we're not doing anything we shouldn't do, so there really isn't a reason he couldn't come, right?" Besides, she was sure Celina would have more fun and now she felt bad about leaving Charlie and Hiro out. "I mean, Alfonz is kind of like what Allegra is, not really a Professor, and you still hang out with her, so why can't Celina hang out with her brother?"
