It had almost been a week since I had bid farewell to my teachers and classmates. I would miss most of them but the summer holidays were very welcoming and I had been anticipating them for a while now. I had planned to use the time wisely and try to 'figure myself out' in a way as I had been having conflicted feelings. Yet here I sat in Steve Harrington's living room.
He had chosen to lay across the sofa with his head in my lap as I played with his hair, it was as soft as it looked. We had a cheesy romance movie on that neither of us had been following the plot of as we had spent the first ten minutes making out before his mum came to offer us snacks, much to Steve's annoyance.
"Babe?" "Yeah?" "You know how I was looking for a job?" I nodded my head slowly, he hadn't had much luck finding one in the past couple of days.
"I found one" A grin broke out across my face. "Oh yeah? where?" He averted his gaze and mumbled "Scoops".
I was familiar with the ice cream shop that he meant. I often went on walks to get out of the house and with the weather becoming increasingly warmer, I felt the need to grab a cool treat on the way home. Having heard of 'Scoops Ahoy' opening in the new mall, I had of course been eager to pay a visit.
One particular employee had caught my eye, once I had settled into a booth after being served. She had wavy dark blonde hair that got lighter towards the ends, electric blue eyes and freckles that dotted her face like a perfect constellation. We hadn't yet had a proper, cohesive conversation as I always got flustered when ordering and would curse to myself when going to a table after these encounters. Each of us had however caught the other stealing glances from across the shop.
I felt my face heat up at the memory of the girl's smirk when she noticed my gaze and I shook it off to turn my attention back my boyfriend's deep hazel eyes which had flicked back up to me.
"Aww you're gonna look cute in that sailor uniform Stevie" I teased.
He playfully glared up at me and I bent over to peck his lips. "I should really get going, I need to meet Nance at twelve". He groaned and raised his head for me to stand.
He stood and I wrapped my arms around his middle as he lay his head on my shoulder. Don't get me wrong, I truly did hate these parting moments but I couldn't help thinking about how unfair it was on him for us to continue like this if I was having doubts.
It was not the time or place to tell him this though, the information would break him and besides he was such a comfort and I couldn't deny my fear of losing him.
"See ya, loser". He pouted and I feigned irritation as I was pulled closer
"You love me really" "Do I now?" I didn't. "Yes, yes I do". A grin spread across his face and he tilted my chin up to bring our lips together.
