I'm Waiting For You

Chapter 56 ❤️ Not the plan ❤️

He still doesn't smile and just look at my actions. I let go one hand and caress his right cheek. "So, you're jealous."

"No, we're not talking about this again, Abby." He tries to look away. Luckily, the parking lot is quite empty because he parked his car quite far from the restaurant.

I chuckle a little and hold his face to make him turn his face to me, "Hey, look at me." He finally looks at me when I said that.

"Let's go." I said.

He frowns, "Let's go where?"

"Let everyone knows that we're dating?" I shrug.

"Abby, I'm not forcing you into anything. I'm fine with this. If you changed your mind just because what I told you just now, just pretend I didn't tell you anything, okay?" He holds my hands tighter.

"Who said I'm changing my mind because of that?" I frown at him.

"Then?"

"I've been thinking about this for some times. I even asked Harley about it too. And I decided this even before you told me all of that. I brought up the question because I want to tell you this. I just didn't expect that it got quite serious and you would open up about that issue. And we had our first fight because of that." I say the last sentence quieter than before.

He wants to say something but I cut him by continuing what I want to say.

"I know it, Ryan. You don't think I like you the way you like me. I can see it  every time I tell you I'm not ready to go public with our relationship. But, I do like you a lot. And I can say maybe more than you like me? I like you so much that I don't want people talking bad about you when they know you're with me. I'm just me, you know. I care for you a lot. I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable if they talk bad about you. But, Harley made me realized that you should be more concerned about that if you want to date me and obviously you don't give a freak about what they say. And that I can trust you." I caress his jaw a little seeing how focus he is to me right now.  Finally, I can see the corner of his lips curl up a little.

I wrap both of my hands to the back of his neck and pull him closer. He didn't protest but wraps his hands on my waist instead.

"I'm sorry I made you jealous. But, you look cute though." I smile and he rolls his eyes.

"Oh, shut up." He says slowly.

I laugh at his reaction and look into his eyes which now look at mine.

"So, you like me more than I like you? Did you just confess to me, Abigail Larsson?" He wears the smirk I haven't seen for so long.

"Okay, now you shut up." I chuckle a little and feel the heat starts to creep up my face as I blush.

"You really want to let them know about us?"

I nod.

"You're okay with all the attention? I'm quite famous, you know?" I slap his shoulder a little.

I nod.

"You're okay with the teasing from Adam and the gang?"

I laugh lightly but still nod.

"And that means I get to hold your hands and kiss you at school?"

"Keep it PG. Yes, we can hold hands."

"That sounds good enough for me."

I nod and say, "Okay now, let's go home." Then, I turn around to open the car door before Ryan's hands on my waist turn me around again and I gasp a little.

"Ryan!" I hold to his shoulders because he's hugging my waist quite tight.

"So, we can tell everyone that I'm your boyfriend, right?" He's still not done with this?

I nod, "Yes, we can tell everyone that you're my boyfriend and I'm your girlfriend, baby." I try the nickname on him to tease him and I cringe a little but didn't show it. Somehow, he seems to like it though.

"What did you call me?"

"Yes, baby. I'm calling my Ryan, baby." I fix the hair that starts falling to his eyes because of the night wind.

Suddenly, he smiles and pulls me closer and kiss me. I'm a little bit shocked but grin and kiss him back with the same passion he gives me. I can feel that he's happy with it and I'm also happy with that. I run my hands into his hair while his hands keeping still around my waist, only getting tighter and move to my spine when I kiss him back. I giggle a little when his hand reaches my cheek trying to kiss me deeper. Not that I'm complaining though. My back is leaning against the car again now that Ryan doesn't seem to stop kissing me. I open my mouth a little and let his tongue explore my mouth as I explore his. I grip his shirt in one hand when he starts using his tongue and it feels too sensual for me to handle. The only thing keeping me standing is basically Ryan's hands because if he lets go, my legs will go all wobbly now.

Wow, this boy really knows how to kiss.

I break the kiss first, breathless. I try my best to stand straight again and catch my breath. I put my forehead on his, looking at his reaction. He freaking smirks at me!

"We are in public, Ryan. We should stop before people see us."

"So, what? Do I look like I care?"

I pull away and shake my head while fixing his hair again that I mess up when we kiss. His hands still around my waist while I'm doing so. A reminder to myself, Ryan's hair feels good so keep playing with them when I can.

"Well, I do."

"You didn't seem like that a minute ago when you kiss me?"

I blush at his statement remembering how intense the kiss was.

I take his hands from my waist and say, "Okay, Ryan. Let's go home now? I thought you said you have works to do?"

"Oh that. I just remembered that I finished them before the training."

"And you're using it as an excuse because you were not in the mood."

He just shrugs.

"You know what, Ryan? I think I can say I felt jealous more than you."

"And why is that?"

"Because you're 'quite famous'." I said with doing the quote-unquote sign with my hand.

He laughs at that and excepts his defeat.

"And we really need to go home now or Mom will nag at me. We have school tomorrow. And you have training too. I'm still guilty here for bringing you to eat fast food just 3 days before your big game day." I say, reminding him that his basketball league is just 3 days from now.

He sighs and rests his head on my shoulder, remembering that he needs to go all out for the last 2 days with training because Friday will be a day to rest a little to make sure he has enough energy for the league on Saturday. And that also means we don't get to see each other much. Maybe not even at lunch. Probably, they even have night training and tonight will be the last night we get to eat out together before his game ends. The players have the priority to not join their class for 3 days as the game is one of the most important game for our school and of course they target to win again.

"Okay, then. Let's go home before I kiss you here again." He chuckles and open the door for me to let me in.
