The Letter Romance

Chapter 31- Time To Turn In The Letters

Sooo, there's only going to be a few more chapters left! So sad, right? I just have to say, I have the best fans! You guys are great! Thanks for all the support! My life lately has been pretty crazy, but I should have been writing! Here it is! (:

__________________________________________________

A few weeks later I walked into the school holding my half of our letters. I hoped Parker brought his half since part of my grade depended on him bringing his.

Parker and I worked on some decoy letters since we figured that we wouldn't want to have our teachers reading the letters that we shamelessly flirted in. We wrote about what we had been doing lately, and things about school. Nothing important.

Parker and I had been getting pretty close. His parents worked through everything and all the drama had been resolved. Though Parker had been stressing out over it, when he came over to my house, since that's where we had mostly been spending time, he always seemed relaxed and calmed.

I figured that my relationship with Parker would continue, but with this boy I was never completely sure. I didn't want to bring it up seeing as he could take it as me wanting to get out. But that's the exact opposite of my intentions.

Should I ask him where he sees us going, or should I just watch and see? 

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

 I drove over to Parker's house to surprise him. I had made a special batch of huckleberry cookies and felt like it would be a great treat for him during the still remaining, unspoken chaos of his family life and the chaos of finals week.

"Hey Addi, and to what do I owe this great surprise?" He asked after I rang the doorbell.

"I figured you need a study break." I laughed as I snuck a hug from him.

"I need all the Addi time I can get!" he laughed, his chest rumbling making me smile.

"Well aren't you creepy!" I giggled. Since when do I giggle?

"I guess that's what you could call a guy in love!" Parker said as he kissed my forehead.

It was the first time Parker had truly said it out loud. I mean, he had told me in the letters, but never to my face.

"Well, I guess you could call me creepy too, because I love you too." I blushed as I spoke.

"You are too cute when you blush." he laughed as he noticed the fact that I really was blushing.

I hadn't actually gotten ready for the day; all I did was shower and then change. I left the house not wearing a single ounce of makeup. I didn't even care if Parker saw me.

"Want to go inside? I'm sure that my neighbors love seeing us PDA'ing out here." He said as he took my hand to lead me into his house.

"I guess I can stay for a minute."

Parker and I hung out for a few good hours before I had to leave. My grandparents were coming over for dinner, and everyone had to be there.  

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

*Ding dong!*

"Addison! Will you answer the door?" My mother yelled.

"Sure!" I returned before opening the door.  

"Addison! Look how much you've grown! How long has it been since we've seen you?" Grandma asked as she enveloped me in a hug.

"Come on Loretta, let the girl be. Hi there Miss Addison." Gramps said as he gave me a great big bear hug.

"Come on in you guys! It’s great to see you."

Dinner went without a hitch. Gramps forgot all about Parker, which was nice. People knew all about us being together, but they didn't know how much I really have fallen for him. I don't even know if Parker knows how much I have really fallen for him.

After Grandma and Gramps decided they wanted to have some alone time with my parents, I invited Parker to come over and hang out. He arrived to my house around nine thirty.

"Long time no see!" he laughed as I opened the door.

"Come in you!" I giggled.

We went downstairs so we could have some privacy from my crazy family.

"Well..." I said once we got downstairs, "What do you want to do?" I asked as Parker got a huge smirk across his face.

"I have a couple great ideas!" I knew what he was implying. I wondered if Parker was being serious, or if he was just joking. I wondered if he was wanting to take our relationship to the next level, but I wasn’t sure I wanted the same thing.

"Oh you wish!" I laughed.

"I do! That's why I said it!" he smirked.

We walked over to the couch, and got settled to hang out for the rest of the night.

"Want to play twenty questions?" I asked as we cuddled.

"Sure, I'll start. Have you thought of what college you're going to go to?" He started the game of twenty questions.

"Honestly? I have absolutely no clue! It’s scary to think about it! That means I have to grow up." I elaborated.

"I know exact what you mean. Your turn."

“Um, what's your favorite TV show?" I wondered.

"Lately it’s been Dr. Who. I thought it would be a lot different than it really is.” I had absolutely no clue what TV show he was talking about. I had heard a lot of people liking it, but I hadn’t seen a single episode. “Where do you think we’ll end up?”

I was caught off guard by this question. I figured he had been thinking about it too since he was the one who brought it up. In a way, I was glad I wasn’t the one that had to bring it up, yet I wished I could have asked him it to get his point of view on the subject.

“Well, don’t really know. I mean we’re going to be graduating soon, and I hope we can go to the same college, but a lot of the time that doesn’t end up happening. I would really like to say that I know if we did a long term relationship, we’d make it. But I can’t be positive. I love you, and I want us to last, but once we get out of high school, it’s going to get a lot harder to be together.” I saw Parker’s expression grow to more of a somber look. “Don’t get me wrong. I really do love you Parker. I don’t want to sound like I’m giving up, but I like to be realistic. What about you? Where do you see us going?”

“I was going to say the same thing. We only have a few weeks until graduation, and I'm scared of what will happen to us. I don't want to lose what we have."

I put my arm around Parker and hugged him tighter. "Me neither."
