Delphine's POV
It's been a week since we all went on the hike. Every day since then Leon and Nolan have been hanging out with us. Today is no different we all are at the cliff minus Mina and Faye. Tonight they were having a girls night at Fayes's house, they invited me but facemask and nail art are not really my thing. And from their stories they've told they stay up late and I'm going to work tomorrow.
Since school is off and the doctor cleared me of any problems my dad is finally letting me go back to work. Despite him checking on me every hour. Which I don't understand I only do the desk work and occasionally drawing up designs for people.
Speaking of the old impala dad was working on and had me draw butterflies for was his gift to me. He figured after the truck stalling and breaking down he would give me the car early. So now I have a beautiful black impala with hidden butterflies on the side.
When I heard this I literally jumped in place and squealed drawing a lot of attention but I don't care. I was just given a car. The matching bike he want to be painted was his own. So now we have matching paintjobs.
Me and the boys are hanging out at the cliff after dinner. I was sitting on the ground with my sketchbook. We have a mutual understanding that I get to come on outings since I entertain myself. The boys were sitting on their bikes smoking, I could overhear some of their conversations.
Leon and Nolan were arguing about something, I missed that part, while Nico was sitting there staring and laughing at them.
I barely manage to hold in my laugh as Leon's voice gets higher as gets more heated. I continue to look up and down as I draw. Lost in the shading details, I hear the boys calling me.
"What?"
"If you want to come home with us we're leaving" I get up and wipe off the back of my pants. I walk over to Nico as the other two take off. Nico hands me my won helmet. After he asked me to be his girlfriend we decided that I should get a helmet since we would be taking his bike more. It was a simple matter of black matching his and his bike.
I hand him my sketchbook while I put it on. I look over at him and his smug grin.
"What?"
"You really are obsessed with me."
"Again what?" He shows me the drawing I was working on. It was him sitting on it I was able to draw him when he was laughing. I reach for it but he holds it against himself.
"Nu-uh. I want it."
"Why? It's not even finished."
"Because you did it." I roll my eyes and pry the book away from him. I rip out the paper at the seam and put it in the book. I get on the bike with the book in the saddle bag and wrap y hands around his chest. He does his usual routine of speeding out of here only now I'm used to it nad only wrapped my hands tighter.
When we get inside we go up to his room with him holding my hand and the sketchbook. He takes the drawing out and grabs a push pin from his cluttered desk. He hangs it up on the wall nearest to his bed.
"I want this whole all filled with your drawings. Okay?"
"K" I lay down on his bed covering myself with his blankets.
"You sleeping in here tonight."
"No... I'm just resting I'll go to my room in a minute." I close my eyes.
I had every intention to go to my room but the next morning I woke up in his bed and him on the floor next to me with a pillow and one throw blanket.
