The boy with the black jacket

Chapter 8

After we eat and talk with my mother and father I must say goodbye to Aston for the night because mother says it's getting to late and Aston should be getting home.

I walk him to the door while my father an mother are in the living room. I open the door and walk outside into the cold air. He puts wraps his arms around me and says "I had fun tonight pip, meeting your parents, and spending time with you." I lay my head on his chest and breath in the sweet scent of him. We stay like this for it seems like forever before we part and he kisses me on the head and gives me a star light smile and walks away. And I'm frozen smiling there still feeling the warmth where his lips were on my head.

I don't know how long I was standing there but after a while I go inside and out on an old T- Shirt that and some plaid pajama pants and crawl into bed.

After a while I can hear my mother and father talking down stairs. I hear them say my name and Astons and I am suddenly interested in there conversation "They are so cute together Parker," I hear my mother say. "The way they look at each other and I might have spied on them through the window and saw that he hugged here before he left. Do you think they are a couple?" "He better not get to close to anything he shouldn't be or we will have to have a talk." My father says in a firm voice. "Oh Parker, he seems to be a well behaved young man. I'm sure he won't do anything like that. But if he does he will speak to you and ME." My mother says whilst laughing.

Do they think me and Aston are together? I mean I have never thought about it, are we? I think about this for a long time and I guess I fall asleep from thinking cause when I open my eyes the sun is in my eyes and I can hear the irritating sound of my alarm clock telling me it's time to get up.

I raise up and remember last night for a moment. Dinner, the hug, the kiss, my parents, and the question eating at me. Are me and Aston a 'couple'? I mean I want to be his girlfriend but does Aston wants to be my boyfriend.

I climb out of bed and go to my closet and grab a navy blue shirt, some blue jeans and my old black jacket. I walk down to the kitchen grab a coke from the fridge and head to the living room to wast a little time.

After about 10 minutes of day dreaming and little sips of my coke I get up, lace up my black boots and go out into the cold air. It hurts when I breath in its so cold, I cover my mouth with my sleeve to have a little warmth on my face.

I start to walk to school but when I about a quarter of the way I hear foot steps behind me, then I feel arms wrap around me from behind and warm breath on my neck as a head sits in my shoulder. I turn to see the face and I see bright tea green eyes and a star light smile and I laugh and smile back as he kisses me on the nose. "Hi pip I missed you." He whispers to me. His warm breath warms me up in less than a second.

We circles around so he's in front of me and our noses are almost touching. He smirks and kisses my nose once more and comes to my side and we start to walk to school. "Hey Aston? Can I ask you a question?" I say shyly. "Yes. Want is it?" Are we a.....a.....?" I try to ask but the word won't come out. "A what pip?" He says giggling at me. "A couple" I say fast and soft. "Well I thought we were. Are we not?" He answered back lifting his eye brows in surprise. "Yes! I mean...yes, I just didn't know if we had the same thoughts about it." I say with my cheeks getting red. "Of course we are a couple pip I wouldn't want to be anything less than that."
