101 Sparks by Paige (Just Please Be Mine)

Chapter 10

      Hi Guys! I'm really sorry if this took so long. I'm just really busy right now. So, I hope you like this part 1 of chapter 10! Enjoy!

-------------------------------

   We arrived at the theme park near downtown with one hour to spare. It’s just eleven o’clock in the morning and Asher said that she’ll be here at around twelve o’clock.

      Did you know that Asher has this thing on being prompt? Well, he does! He doesn’t want to be late and was NEVER late! He is really stringent when it comes to time. I’m not overacting. Why? ‘Cause one time at school, Asher told me to meet him at exactly two, thirty-five. I agreed because I actually go out at like two, twenty so it’s no big deal. When I’m about to go out of the lab, my teacher asked me if I could help him organize the laboratory apparatuses, I said yes. After that, we talked a little and I didn’t notice that it’s already two, fifty. I literally stormed out of the room without even saying goodbye to my teacher.

     I saw him at his car waiting and I can sense that he’s already losing his temper. Ugh! What have I done?! I was having second thoughts whether to approach him or not but, eventually, my feet carried me towards him and his face didn’t show any emotion and that scared me more! I know that he’s really mad even though he’s not speaking. That car ride was silent and awkward. When I thought it was the right time, I apologized, but nooooooooo! Eventually, he started yacking about things like “did you know what time you came?” or “did you look at your phone to see what time it is?!” or “you shouldn’t be late!” I just kept quiet ‘cause actually, it’s really my fault and if I said something, this wouldn’t be over. It will just get worse.

     That night, I cooked for him. I did that to shut him up and forgive me. I baked Margherita Pizza, which is one of his favorite! For dessert, I made tiramisu. After eating, he seemed to be in a good mood already. I apologized but he stopped me. Instead, he was the one to apologize. After that, we became okay again!

“Paige?” He snapped me back into reality.

“You okay?” He asked me again.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I just remembered something.” I flashed a smile at him.

“Do you want to walk while waiting for her?” I just nodded and smiled at him.

     The carnival is located near the seaside so it’s cold and breezy.

     We walked there and stayed silent. The silence feels nice. It’s not awkward. Instead it’s relaxing. We stayed like that for a moment, when he held my hands. I felt myself stiffened. He seemed to feel it because he removed his hand from mine.

“I’m sorry.” He said while putting on a blush.

“Why?” I just acted cool.

“Well, it seems like you don’t want me to hold your hands anymore.”

“Ash, it’s not like that. If you’re going to ask me, it fine. We’re best friends, nothing is wrong with that, but what about your girlfriend?”

     He looks like he’s thinking of what he’s going to say. Finally, he came up with:

“She’s not yet my girlfriend Paige. Why would she not be okay with that? You came to my life first, right? You’re still my girl, the best one! Besides, we talk about you every time and she’s fine with it ‘cause she said that whatever makes me happy, will make her glad.”

     Aaaww! They talk about me?! That’s sweet! And, I’m STILL his girl?! Double awww! I smiled at him and held his hand. He smiled at our entwined hands and continued walking again. What we’re doing is not wrong right? We’re just best friends, holding hands correct? I know some people who hold each other’s hand but they’re not even in a relationship! Why bother?!

     We found a good spot with benches along the shore. He put his arms on my shoulders and we just sat there. There was quietness but I feel that there is pure joy and happiness between us.

“Paige?”

“Hmm?” I said while putting my head on his shoulders.

“Thank you.”

     I laughed a little because I don’t know how I’m going to react. So, I just hug him tight. I don’t know what to do, but I know, he knows what that hug meant.

“You’re welcome. I do this because I love you and you’re important to me”

“Yeah, I know!” He said arrogantly.

     I glared at him.

“I’m just kidding!” He defended himself.

“But thanks, really.” He continued.

     Suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up.

“Yeah?

Okay.

Bye.”

“Paige, she’s here!”

“Oh, okay. Where is she?” I’m starting to get a little bit nervous.

“I’ll just meet her at the parking lot. Are you commin’?”

“No, I’ll just stay here.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.” I gave him a smile.

“Just remember Paige, you’ll always be my girl.”

“I know. You’ll always be my man!”

     He smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek. After that, he turned around and started walking to the parking lot where his soon-to-be girlfriend is waiting.

      How was it? I hope you enjoyed it! Before I go, I just have some important announcement to make. Starting from this day, I will need 10 comments and 15 votes, for me to upload the next chapter! I'm sorry, but this kind of system will make me pumped up or should I say be inspired and motivated in making the next chapter. Don't worry, the moment I get my wanted amount of votes and comments, I will try my very best to uplad that very same day. If not, it would just take like 1-2 days. Sorry but I have to do this. Hope you understand. And I hope that it wouldn't be too much for you! :)
