Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 19

CHARLOTTE POV.

My heart stopped. How did Hayes know my perfect first date? "You okay babe?" Joel asked as he took another bite of his sandwich. "Um, yeah, I just don't feel well," I lied. "I think I will just go home," I said as I started to get up. "Oh um are you sure?" He asked as he got up as well. "Yeah, I will let you know how I am later," I said as I hugged him and walked away. I felt so guilty. I went on my first date with the wrong person. I liked Joel, but I liked Hayes too but just more......

I got home and I walked through the door. "Hello!" I yelled as I shut the door behind me. "Hey," I heard a voice say behind me, I turned around and it was Hayes, shirtless.. again. "Oh, um, hi," I said trying not to look at his abs. "Everyone went out," He said as he walked to the kitchen. Was this kid trying to kill me?! I suddenly found myself following him. "How was your date?" He asked as he leant on the kitchen bench taking a bite of his apple. "Why didn't you tell me that you planned the whole night?" I asked as I started to walk towards him. "Because I wanted it to be perfect for you," He said as he looked down. I started to walk closer to him. "It wasn't," I said as I stood beside him.

"What do you mean? did he hurt you!" He said getting serious and standing up straight. "No no no no! Nothing like that! It's just after I found out that you planned the whole night and not Joel, it made me think more about you," I said as I started to play with my fingers. He turned to face me and got a little smirk on his face. "What do you mean?" He asked as he leaned towards me. "Don't make me say it," I said as I looked down. "Say it," He said as he lifted my chin up with his hand making me look into his eyes. "Fine! I like you!" I said as he started to smile bigger.
