The Girl with Lies {Finished}

Chapter Thirty Five: Boyfriend

"Well.. ok"
I say and look down at my freshly painted nails

"Um well. I'm going to-to ask you something.. you're gonna listen and- and once I say it you'll be happy.. or upset that I asked this..
And as I'm saying it you might think I'm crazy.. but hopefully.. soon enough you'll.. you'll see that I had a point a-and me saying this was a.. uh.. good idea. Then for the rest of your days you'll be so happy I got straight to the point and asked this"
I rambled on

Peter had a what-the-heck-did-she-just-blabber-on-so-long-about look

"Ok.. I'm listening Vee"
He says and I take a deep breathe

"I was wondering if I could be your.. you could be my.. we could.." I start to trail off not knowing how to ask this.

Peter, with wide eyes chuckles
"Were you trying to ask me- for us to be together"
He whispers and as I start to feel myself blushing I nod.

"Well..the answer is.. yes"
He says making me smile bigger then I've smiled before.

I hug him and he holds me close. I love the feeling of being needed. To feel loved.
My mother loved me but she was caught up in her work and school. So she was never there to be a fully loving mother.

After that Peter took me back to his house.

Something about slipping through a small window into my boyfriends room is really fun to me.

Waking up the next morning I had gotten up incredibly early. The sun was barley out but yet I couldn't go back to sleep.

So I thought I might as well just go back home.
I got down the ladder and saw Peter sleeping so peacefully.

Before I left I decided to kiss his forehead. But that woke him. He grabbed my hand and with his tired morning voice asks
"Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna go"
I explain

"Go?"
He repeats
"Yeah. I cant sleep"
"What time is it?"
He asks and I look over at his side table clock with the open hand I have since Peter had still been holding my other hand.
"It's 6:20"
I say and he opens his eyes and looks at me.

"Bye Peter. Go sleep"
I say getting up but he pulls me back down.

He then kisses me passionately and then I get up and leave.

Something about peter being half asleep makes him very bold.

On my way walking back home it starts to rain so I go into a coffee shop near by.
It's practically empty with a few people but not many.

I feel my stomach grumble so I go and browse menu.
"I can take you whenever you're ready"
A guy with beautiful brown eyes and hair says behind the front desk.

I smile and then walk up to him
"May I get a small black coffee, a muffin, and a sandwich"

I tell him then he goes and fixes up my order.

"That'll be 10.56"
He says and I take out my wallet from my backpack and get out 9 dollars but notice that's all I have

The guy who's name tag says Austin, he looks down and sees me looking disappointed
"I'm short so I'll only get the coffee"
I say then Austin shrugs
"No you have enough"

He 2 dollars into my hand and I laugh
"Thanks"
I give him the money grab my coffee and breakfast
"Keep the change"
I say then walk away

"Wait-"
He says and I turn around to him
"Do you go to midtown tech?"
He asks and I nod
"Uh yeah.."
"We're you also on the news.. twice?"
He asks leaning forward against the counter
"Are you keeping tabs on me...?"
I ask, slightly weirded out.
"I just recognized your face"

I didn't know what to say with that it was very flirty of him to say. Just then Peter texts me

I'm finally awake! Thanks for making yesterday an awesome day and going along with my craziness <3 see you Monday

I couldn't help but smile at my text.

"What's your name?"
Austin asks me but at first I hadn't heard him

"Um- hey I gotta go thanks for paying for my breakfast. Have a good day"
I say and walk out.

It's still raining but I forgot I had been wearing peters jacket still, it had a hood so I was able to find a nearby restaurant that let me use their umbrella. The restaurant workers told me to get a cab but walking gave me an excuse to take longer time to get home. Plus I love the rain
