Just friends?

Chapter 43

"Can I braid your hair?"

I cup his cheeks and lift his head up. "That's not stupid, if you want to do that, go for it."

"I haven't done it in a while, but I can try right?"

We continue watching the film whilst Pierre braids my hair, he's pretty good at it.

SATURDAY

I wake up, and Pierre is already on his phone. I feel my hair, it's still braided. "Did you do this?"

He looks up. "Oh ehm yeah, it's ugly, I know. Come, let me get it out."

I stop his hands. "No, you did a great job, it's perfect. Plus, something can't be ugly when you try and you put a lot of effort in it. Sometimes it doesn't meet your expectations, but it's not ugly."

He smiles at me. "Thank you for your wise words."

We mess around for the rest of the day, and when it's around 5 PM Pierre is quite stressed, walking back and forth, fidgeting with his hands and stuff like that.

I step in front of him so that he stops walking and I grab his hands. "What's wrong? Please try to calm down a bit."

Pierre looks at me. "Did you forget it?"

"Forgot what?"

"Our date tonight."

"No, of course not, I was wondering when we were going."

He lets out a sigh of relief. "We can leave now? If you want?"

"What should I wear?"

"This is perfect, just a t-shirt and shorts. And maybe it's better if you don't wear heels."

I step into the car, without heels:) and Pierre drives us to a beach. "I thought, if we pick up some food, then take it to the beach and watch the sunset. Or is it stupid?"

I take one of his hands and look at him. "Pierre, please stop doubting yourself and everything you do. You are a great person, really.

You don't push me to do stuff I don't want, and that's an amazing thing in my opinion. Your hair is cool, although I liked it better when you dyed it a bit blond on the ends."

He frowns. "Did you know me back then?"

"No, but I saw some pictures. I like your eyes, how bright they are, and how perfect they are for you. I just like you."

He kisses me so softly, as if I'm made of glass and can break any moment. "What a coincidence, I like you too. Better to say, I love you."

I ruffle my hands through his hair. "Same here. Come, let's get our food and watch the sunset. I love the beach."

PIERRE POV

She laid her head on my shoulder and is about to fall asleep. I think back to tonight. We picked up some Chinese food and watched the sunset. It's getting cold out here, the sun has almost set. "Sky?"

"Hmm." Is the answer I get.

"I was thinking about going back, it's getting a bit cold."

She sits up. "Yeah sure."

"You can fall asleep everywhere."

"Yes, never told you?"

"No, but there's no need to. Come, we're going back. Oh yeah, thanks for what you said to me, it really helped."

"You don't have to thank me, that's what friends do right?"

When Sky is in bed and asleep I get out, I need to talk with Charles. 

A/N: Who didn't update for two days? It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me. And when did I realize it? When my head hit my mattress, at 11 PM. Yes, both days I realized it when it was too late. These testdays are going to kill me): So if you don't hear anything from me, I'm probably learning or asleep(:
