Caelums Pov.
I turned left onto Astras' street and my palms started to sweat.
I'm fucking terrified.
Listen, I'm actually a genius. I slid Mr. Boars a 20$ bill to pair Astra with me.
I just needed to get her alone and get this over with.
As I made my way down to Astras' place a ball of anxiety grew graciously in my stomach. I made a quick left into her driveway and put my car in park.
It's now or never I guess.
I reach into the glove compartment and grab a piece of gum and my phone and exit my vehicle.
Do I knock?
No Im supposed to be badass, I should just let myself in.
Will she be mad?
Probably.
I reach for the handle on the front door and pull down on it, I slowly step inside and I have a clear view of the massive kitchen.
Damn Peach, your parents have money.
"Food is on the table loves! I'll be right out there!"
Oh shit. Who's she expecting?
"Thanks Mom!" I shout back at her followed by a chuckle.
I stand mesmerized by the huge kitchen and wait for her to reveal herself.
There's two plates sat on the table with hot dogs and macaroni and cheese.
Wait don't tell me she has kids.
"You've got to be kidding me."
A very annoyed Astra stands before me. Her chin meets my shoulders when she's in-front of me. Her beautiful brown hair sits perfectly in a ponytail, she always leaves a few pieces out in the front, they frame her face stunningly. She has wonderful blue eyes that stand out against her olive toned skin.
Oh shit. I'm staring.
"Um hello?" She says with irritation laced in her warm voice.
"Uh hi! Ready to get started?" I say trying to deter from the fact that I was totally checking her out.
"Actually no, my little sister and brother should be here any minute and I need to make sure they eat before we start. My room is upstairs all the way down the hallway on the left side. Make yourself comfortable."
"Okay, that's fine. Do you need any help?"
"Not from you. Do you need a drink or anything?" She questions.
"Aw you're just so sweet Peach, but no thanks."
She turns away from me and walks back from where she just exited.
I walk towards the spiral staircase and wipe my hands on my jeans.
Why are my hands so sweaty?
Don't get me wrong I get anxious all the time. I'm partially anxious right now, but it's more like nervousness.
Am I nervous to hang out with a girl?
No. Definitely not the right answer.
I'm not nervous I just need to finish what was started and end it there.
No harm nor foul.
I turn left down the long hallway until I get to the last door. I open it and reveal a sick ass looking room.
