The Thief

Chapter 3

Peter's  POV

My phone buzzed causing me to wake up. I grabbed it and read the caller ID.

Mary Jane

My eyes widened at the name. I went to press answer, but the phone slipped from my hand. I scrambled out of bed to grab my phone. I kept stretching to reach it, causing myself to fall and slam into the wooden floor.

It hurt like hell, but that didn't matter right now. I could still hear the phone buzzing, but couldn't see it because my blanket fell with me so now my phone was lost in it. Standing up I griped the edges of my blanket it and shook it. My phone flew out and hit the edge of my bed.

"Seriously?!"

I grabbed my phone and could see a new crack at the corner of it. I then pressed the button to answer. "Hello?", I asked and rubbed my nose to subside the pain from falling off my bed.

"Hey, Pete", Mj said softly. My whole body relaxed at the sound of her voice. I didn't notice how much I missed hearing it.

"Hey, Mj!", a little excited there huh, Peter? "Um, did you need something?", I said awkwardly.

"Yeah, do you think you could meet me at our place? I got something to talk about with you"

Mj only ever asks to meet at our place when it's something important, but also something good. I smiled thinking she might finally forgive me.

"Of course! How about we meet up at 5?", I asked.

I could hear a light chuckle from the phone. "Sounds good, Pete. See you then"

"Yeah, see you then", I spoke back.

"Okay, bye", she said before hanging up.

Jumping up from excitement I landed upside down on my ceiling. "YES! Mj's finally gonna forgive me!". I walked around on my ceiling trying to figure out what to wear and what to say when I say her.

I was always so nervous to see her again after one of our fights. The air around us would be so tense and awkward. I hated it, but his time it would be different. This time i'll do better, treat her better. Make sure she feels loved and appreciated. She is the most important thing in my life and the last thing I wanna do is make her feel unwanted.

To past the time I decided to go out and catch any criminals or stop any robbery's from happening. If kept me pretty busy because before I knew it, it was all ready 4:30.

I swung back to my apartment and got dressed. I decided to be causal. I wore blue jeans and a grey hoodie that had a little spider stitched on the right of my chest.

By the time I was finished it was already 4:55. If I took the train it'd take over 20 mins to get there, but if I swung over I should be right on time. Which is what I did. Before I went to our spot I went by a flower shop and bought a bouquet to give to Mj. It caused me to be late by 5 minutes. but it was worth it to see her smile when I gave them to her.

As I was swinging to our spot I could see her from a distance. I landed right in front of her and she stumbled back a bit. I wrapped my arm around her waist so she wouldn't fall.

"You okay?", I smiled.

She wiggled free from my grasp. "Yeah, you just surprised me"

She sounded a bit annoyed, but at the same time held no emotion in her words. It was an odd thing for Mj to do. She always spoke so light and fluffy if that even makes sense.
