Wait a minute....

Chapter 16: What Are We?

Scarlett's POV
It was a few days after I had food poisoning. I feel so much better. Well, physically anyway. I feel bad emotionally and mentally because of Chris. He has been so helpful coming over and taking care of me, but we have not talked about being official yet. It has been giving me so much anxiety. I was sitting on my couch in my thoughts until I realized my doorbell has been ringing for 5 minutes. I shake my head to get those thoughts out and see who is at the door. I open it to see Chris standing there with a warm smile.
"Hey you" he said as he grabbed me by my waist for a big hug. I did not hug back for a minute and then I gave in. He steps back and looks at my face.
"You okay?" He asked out of concern.
"Yeah, I'm okay." I said looking away.
"You know you can't lie to me to, right?" He said looking in my eyes. He's right. I couldn't.
"Could I talk to you for a minute?" I asked and moved out of the way to invite him in.
"Sure" he said. He came inside and went to sit on the couch.
I sat right beside him. We both took a sigh.
"What's up" he said and patted my knee. He knew I was off and he wasn't wrong. The butterflies in my stomach would not stop.
"Soooo I wanted to talk to you about us." I said almost in a mumble. He scooted up straight and took a deep breath.
"Okay....what about us?" He said.
"Well...what are we?" I asked. I just ripped the bandage off. He was silent for a second and it kinda scared me.
"Well..what do you want to be?" He asked looking down at his knees.
"What do you think? I want to be able to see you every day and hold your hand. I want to be able to kiss you all the time and not making it seem weird. I want to be your girlfriend, but clearly you don't want the same thing." I said annoyed with tears in my eyes. I was about to get up until I felt him grab my arm and pull me into his lap.
"Woah calm down" he whispered in my ear with his arms wrapped around me. I started to sniffle and look down and play with his fingers that sat on my waist.
"You didn't give me the chance to answer. Of course I want you to be my girlfriend." He said happily. I looked at him in his baby blue eyes. I was so happy. It's official I guess. I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to sniffle. I snuggled up and buried my head into his neck like a little kid.
"Really?" I said in a kinda baby voice.
"Really." He said rubbing my back.
"You seem a little emotional sweetheart. Are you okay?" He asked trying to look me in my eyes.
"I just started my period and my hormones are everywhere." I said. We both chuckled a little.
"How about I go to the store and get you some chocolate and ice cream and I order pizza and we can cuddle and watch movies all day?" He said stroking my hair. I loved the idea, but I don't want him to leave.
"I don't you to leave me." I said in a baby voice. He chuckled.
"I'll be right back babe. I promise." He said. I finally got off his lap and started walking to the kitchen until he grabbed my arm and turned me back around to smash into his lips in a passionate kiss. He put his hands on my waist to pull me closer and I put my hands on the sides of his face. He pulled away a little.
"I had to give you a kiss as officially my girlfriend." He said in a lower voice voice. I chuckled and gave him one more peck. I pushed him slightly to the door.
"How sweet but I want ice cream." I said with my signature smirk. He shook his head and headed out the door. I couldn't stop blushing and smiling. I went upstairs to change into leggings and a crop top and waited for my boyfriend to come back. I was over the moon.
