running from the past

chapter 11

After that last night. I planned on wearing long sleeved shirts or hoodies on the days that I will be working with Corey. Today, on Corey and I's lunch break, I offered to clean the dishes.
Yn: Corey, I'm at work I should be doing the dishes
Corey: Well I'm your boss so I make the decisions
Yn: Well I'm on break so, you can't tell me what to do
I smirked at him then picked up his plate
Corey: Wow, how dare you take my plate.

I shook my head then moved our plates over to the sink. I rolled up my sleeves a bit without thinking.
Corey: Can I at least help out with- holy shit..
Yn: What? *turns to him* I got this. *smiles*
Corey: No- you're arms Yn..
I looked down in a panic and turned my back to him.
Yn: Oh I-I was playing with my friends cat..
Corey: That's bull shit. Let me see your arms.
Yn: Corey I'm fine.
Corey: Yn. What did you fucking do. *gets emotional*
Yn: *turns to him* Nothing, Corey! I don't need to show you anything! *rolls sleeves down*
Corey: Fine. Don't show me. But are you hiding something from me.
I stood there silently, looked up into his eyes then back down.
Corey: Yn. Did you hurt yourself.
I didn't want to admit to it..
Corey: *serious and calm* Did you do that to yourself.
Yn: ...Yeah...
Corey's face looked shocked with sadness..
Corey: Yn.. why would you- what...?
I bit my lip and started to cry
Corey: Yn. Why would you do that. *tears up*
Yn: I don't know *sobs*
Corey: Come here
He pulls me in and hugs me tight.
Corey: Please don't do that to yourself.. you're worth so much more than that..
Yn: I'm sorry.
Corey: Don't be sorry.. listen I'm not mad I just..
Yn: Wish you never met me..
Corey: What? *pulls me back by the shoulders and looks me in the eyes* "Wish I never met you?" Are you crazy *laughs*
I smile a little and sadly watched a tear run down his cheek.
Corey: Yn.. you're the best god damn women I've ever met.. you're funny, smart, beautiful.. and strong.. you're so, so strong babe..
I blushed
Corey: Please promise me that you'll never do it again.. for yourself.. and for me.. *holds my hand*
Yn: Okay.. I won't..
Corey: Promise?
Yn: *tears form* I promise.
Corey: I won't look. *picks up my arms*
He kissed my arms through my sleeves
My face puckered because that was beyond kindhearted of him. then he locked eyes with me.
Corey: There. *blushes* I love you
He stroked my hair softly

I am starting to believe that he actually loves me as a friend.

Yn: I love you too Corey. Thank you.
Corey: No problem. Thank you for being so strong *kisses my four head*
Yn: I'm sorry if I am too much to handle sometimes..
Corey: Yn, you're not too much. Sometimes events in our lives happen that are hard to carry. I get that. I get the same way sometimes. I have no idea what you go through and I can't imagine what it is like but please call me if you ever need me.
Yn: Thank you Corey. That means a lot to me.
Corey: Anytime. I think we are done working for today. Let me take us out tonight for something besides pizza rolls.
I laughed
Yn: Wait, on like a date?
Corey: Well.. that's what I was hoping for.. *blushes and grins*
Corey: Unless you don't want to that's fine too!
Yn: Oh, no no. I would love to go out with you!.. *sighs* it's a date
Corey: It's a date? *smiles*
I nod
Corey: Really, are you sure?
Yn: I don't know I might change my mind soon
I joked
Yn: Of course!
Corey: Yes! *clears throat* I-I mean cool it's a date *holds out hand*
I smirk then grab his hand, pull him down, then kiss his cheek.
Yn: I'll go home and get ready *smiles* Thank you for the rest of the day off
Corey: no problem. I'll pick you up arouuund?
Yn: *picks up purse* Seven? *smiles*
Corey: Seven. Yes that sounds good *smiles*
Yn: Bye Corey *waves*
Corey: See ya *peace sign*
I walk out of the door and lean against it smiling happily

Yn, you just got yourself a date with the devil

No actually, he's an angel. That angel is Corey. Corey Scherer ...
