Mr. Popular and Me

Chapter 11

Waeland's POV

"Did you have fun today?" I asked, a bit nervous about his answer. What if he really didn't? Then I would have to stop talking to him. I do keep my word after all, but I really hope he had fun. I really like Evan.

"I did." He said and I felt a bit of tension leave my shoulders.

"So you liked our date?" I ask, looking at him.

He nodded with a small smile on his face that I found adorable, "I liked it."

"And that means that I don't have to leave you alone, right?" I say and he nods, which brings a smile to my face.

I want to kiss him, but I don't want to scare him off and overwhelm him, so I lightly kiss his forehead instead. I swear I saw him blush a bit as he smiled and looked back out towards the sun that has almost completely set now.

I'm glad he had fun today, and I'm glad he liked our date. To be honest, I think it would be a little difficult to leave him alone if he would have told me he didn't have fun today and that I had to keep my word and leave him be. Obviously, I would do what I said, but it's fun to be around him. Even if he is a little bit of an ass sometimes, but I think it suits him and makes him amusing.

My phone beeped a few times and I just ignored it, it's probably just someone from school that wants to hang out and do something stupid.

"Aren't you going to check your phone?" Evan asked, looking from me to my pocket which had my phone in it. I sighed and looked at my phone, three messages from my brother. Terrance doesn't ever text me unless it's important, so I guess I should look at it.

"Sorry, let me just check this," I say to Evan as I unlock my phone and read the messages.

Brother: Waeland, Erica has a son. His name's Evan Beck.

Brother: It's definitely the same boy that you're on a date with. Father just proposed to her and she said yes.

Brother: I'm pretty sure you know what that means. Unless you're too stupid to figure it out

I rolled my eyes at the last message, but is he serious? Does Erica have a kid? And that kid is Evan?

I guess I should head home and see if this is true. Besides, it's getting late and it's a school night.

"Hey Evan, you ready to head home? It's getting late and I don't want your father to get mad at me for bringing his child home too late on a school night." I chuckled, joking a bit. I didn't know if what my brother told me is totally true, so I'm not going to say anything to Evan. Even if it is true, I'm not the person to tell him.

Evan rolled his eyes at the last bit I said, but nodded. "Yeah, it is late, so I should be getting home."

"Alright, lets clean up here," I said and Evan nodded as we both got up and packed up the picnic that we had finished. Once we were finished we headed back to the car and I drive to his house.

Once we got there, I walked Evan up to his door.

"Thank you for today, I usually don't have a good time, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't so... Thanks." He finished, looking a little irritated and a bit shy. I laughed a little, maybe he's irritated because he thought the date would suck or something. He's so cute, I thought as I smiled at him.

"No need to thank me, I get to continue to keep hanging out with you, I should be the thanking you," I told him and he looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes of his. My eyes trailed down to his soft, pink lips as he slowly, and a bit hesitantly, placed a small, chaste kiss on my lips.
