A Forever Type Of Deal

Starbucks

Chapter 5
Mile's pov

Finishing up my last class I make my way to the parking lot pretty excited about seeing her again.
I really shouldn't cause we just met and definitely barely friends but there's just something about her that draws me in and I completely feel at peace around her.
For a moment I forget why I moved in the first place ,to me that means alot cause if I allowed myself to go down memory lane I'm afraid I might not make a proper comeback and I really don't want to stress out my parents more than they already are. What happened took a toll on all of us and we're all healing in our own different ways and silently praying for history not to repeat itself,personally speaking I really could use some normalcy in my life at this point.
The old me would probably want to get black out drunk and forget about it but after alot of sessions with Miss Parker I think its safe to say I'm in a better space and I would like to keep it that way thank you very much.
I find her standing looking around as most people had already left the school.
I really don't have anything to go back to so exactly why I suggested the after school meet up and I appreciate her being here more than she knows.
"Hey sweetheart,how was gym?"
She turns around and I see pink at the top of her ears,damn doesn't it look good on her.
She groans and I take it she didn't really like it that much .
'So do you have a ride or you can ride with me." I ask after a while.
"I usually take the bus so if it's ok with you I wouldn't mind the ride.'
She got in and I quickly pulled out of the lot and sped down the road.
Soon I pulled up at the nearest Starbucks cause lets face it I work well when I have caffeine in me.
"Starbucks really,"I hear her laugh as she got out.
'What, got a better idea??"I ask her smiling
"Actually I do but we'll go there next time my treat," she replies instead.
'Well lets go in ,shall we, I said as I held the door open for her to get in.
So what's your order,I turn to her
"No it's ok I'll pay for my own,"
'Don't be silly,its my treat so what's your order lil one,'
She turns pink again and I smirk ,damn I love getting reactions out of her.
I'll take a black coffeea and 2 sugars please,ooh and lots of cream too please,she rambles off her order as she tucks stands of her hair behind her ear,
It looks really soft ,makes me want to run my fingers through it .
I quickly snap out of my daze as I place our orders and let her find us a place to sit.
After I get my black coffee with 2 sugars ,I order two chocolate muffins and look around to see her seated at a booth near the end of the cafe.
Making my way to her, I quickly slide in opposite of where she's sitted so I can look at her face clearly.
I give her her coffee and a muffin before we start working on our project.
"Thank you,you really didn't have to,"
'Don't worry about it its totally fine, I respond before taking out my phone.
I pretend to be going through it as I turn on the camera and face it to her.
I wanted to capture her here, she seemed so at peace .
I took pictures of her when her face lit up after taking a sip of her coffee
And when she got cream around her mouth ,made want to do things you really shouldn't be doing with a friend,sigh.
But truth be told she looked really pretty and I think I might be sticking around for a while with this one.
I just hope this decision won't blow up in my face.
"So I was thinking , since we're in Florida and they're alot of beaches around ,how about we meet up everyday after school and go visit a different one every day for the project and when we're done, we'll meet up at my house and create the portfolio and the essay part of it,"she finishes
Turns out she's smart too, literal definition of perfection.
Sounds good,' I replied totally on board with the plan
At least I'll be spending alot of time with her in the next 2 months till the project is due.
To be totally honest I'm pretty excited to see what happens next .
When I'm sure we're completely done and have all the details of everything we'll be needing over the weeks I offer to drop her home.
After setting the GPS in my car we make our way to her house
She doesn't stay that far from me approximately 15 minutes but I'm not gonna tell her that.Don't wanna scare her away on the first day
Her house is a beautiful two story building with blue shatteres and a balcony that goes all around the house
I could totally see myself loving it here.
Stopping in her driveway I noticed that there's no one around.Maybe her parents work late as well.
As she turns to leave I call after her,
"Goodnight Heera,don't dream about me too much alright,"
I see her laugh before walking to her door.
I wait till she's safely inside before driving back to my house, I guess chivalry isn't dead after all.....
