He came into my bedroom along with me and we sat on the edge of my bed. There was no tension at all, I had been honest with him and we both knew exactly how we felt about each other. I suddenly caught the urge to laugh as I thought about things.
"What?" He asked, smiling along with my laughter.
"You are my father are worst enemy, and you are currently in his house without him knowing and you just asked his daughter to be your girlfriend. I'm imagining his face!" He laughed with me. Things had swiftly changed from me and my father having hating Parker in common, to me and Parker hating my father. "They'd of course be negatives too..." I admitted frowning.
"Don't focus on that!" He reassured and put an arm around me. "He won't know unless you are ready, and when he eventually does, I promise to be by your side." I leant into him and yawned.
"Are you tired?" He asked, instantly taking note of my yawning. I wanted our relationship to have only a positive start, so I wouldn't lie to him, even about the little things.
"I didn't sleep at all. I was thinking too much and when I get into that cycle I can never sleep." He looked into my eyes guiltily.
"Not at all?" He confirmed. "Sorry gorgeous, it wouldn't have happened if you stayed." I gave him a short kiss on his cheek as comfort.
"Not your fault. I just hope I can sleep tonight otherwise I'll be completely exhausted!" I exclaimed joyfully so he knew it wasn't at all a big deal. He quickly replied.
"Come to mine, tonight. I sleep better when you are there, maybe you will too, and why not? I'm sure your father won't notice once it's evening." He wouldn't notice, but the weird person texting me would. I didn't care about whoever it was, if I were to live by their guidance, I wouldn't see Parker at all and I would refuse to do that.
I was about to accept, because I would be happier and more at peace with him there and then it suddenly hit me. I thought over the question. He was asking me... his new girlfriend, to come to his own house in the evening and night. Did that mean he meant... he could mean that he didn't just want to sleep. I knew him before I was his girlfriend, but now I was, would that make it different? I didn't think I was ready yet, even though I did really like him. We hadn't known each other long enough for me, and as much as I did trust him, I wanted to grow that trust more still. He was a sensible guy... he wouldn't mind me asking, would he?
"Parker, I want to be around you I just think you should know that right now I..." I breathed and he patiently waited for me to continue. "Damn, this is awkward." I admitted. I never thought I would be the kind to struggle spitting out something so simple, and something that should be so open in a relationship. I didn't know if it was thinking back to how Ben was a d*ckhead that made me like that, but I suspected so. I just didn't know what Parker expected and I didn't want to... disappoint him, I guessed. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked straight at me.
"You can talk to me about anything, please, I don't want you to think anything is awkward, I'm here to listen, and I'll understand whatever you want to say." That made me feel a little better, enough to make me spit my words out anyway.
"I have never slept with anyone, Parker. And I'm not ready yet. I never thought of Ben like that, and I never got close enough to anyone else, so I just thought I should tell you because I don't want to let you down this evening if I come over. I am happy to, I mean I like to cuddle with you... it makes me honestly happy, but I just can't go further at the moment, sorry." I blurted in one mouthful, that way I could say everything before my increasingly more awkward self stopped talking.
"Oh!" He said suddenly. "No, I didn't mean that Riley. I don't want to-"
I rudely butted in whilst he was talking. He never did that to me if I was talking about something important, but I was a bad listener.
"You don't want to either?" I said finishing his sentence.
"Yes... I mean no. I would want to if you did, but seeing as you aren't ready, I'm completely unbothered. And I certainly didn't mean that by asking you to come round, I genuinely wanted to sleep well." He sighed sadly. "I hate that you think you have to explain things like this to me, or you have to be awkward about it. I care about you so much, and I want you to know that nothing means more to me than your presence. I don't know how Ben acted around you, but him and I are nothing alike. Please, talk to me about anything like this, OK?" He smiled and I felt myself blush. We stood up, and I hugged him again.
"You're short." He teased. I wasn't really short, I didn't consider 5'3 as that short. I knew shorter people, and I didn't like being called short either.
"F*ck you, maybe your just tall." I said harshly.
"Ouch, that was mean." He chuckled, and I joined in.
I apologise I cringed too :) ❤️❤️
