geek girl and the boy next door

A day around new york

"Princess give me your number" Connor says
"Here" i say passing my phone.
Im sitting on the sofa with April who is currently showing me her barbie dolls.
I get up while shes distracted and go back to Connor.
I grab my phone back.
He finishes his coffee and while attempting to put it into the dishwasher.
He drops the mug onto the floor
"Oh Shi..." He says but i cup my hand around his mouth before he says the whole word.
I can feel his smirk since my hand is cupped over his mouth.
"What are you doing princess" he says but the words are like mumbles since my hand is still attached onto his mouth.
"Don't like swearing? oh yeah i forgot good girls don't like swear words" he says in a sing song tone.
"Oh haha, i don't know if you have noticed but there is a four year old in the room!" I say.
"Sorry but will you please take your hand off my mouth" he says
"Fine" i moan. Hes so annoying.
Just as i move my hand he kisses my hand.
"Eww!" I say sarcastically
He just smirks.
"Your really annoying, you know that?" I say
"That hurts princess" he says placing his hand on his heart.
Ugh seriously.
Im stuck with him...
ALL DAY!

Later on that day after mum and Connors parents came back and i found myself being dragged around by Connor.
So, now we are here sitting in Starbucks awkwardness filling the air as i bite into my sandwich and sip on my drink.
"We should go to the fountain by the mall" Connor says braking the silence.
"Sure" i reply
As soon as i reply i hear a voice from behind
"Dude whats up?" Says a figure standing behind me. I turn around and a really cute boy is behind me. He has brown ruffled hair and green eyes and his cologne is so strong.
"Hey" connor replies.
Well... This is awkward (for me)
"Who is this cute geek" the boy says.
"Im May." I blush
"Im James" he replies taking a seat next to me " so are you two together?" He asks and i shift uncomfortably.
"No" connor says.
"We are just neighbours. Also im his dads best friends daughter." I say awkwardly.
"Oh cool" he smiles
Wow hes gorgeous.
Connor clears his throat l and i look back at him.
"We should get going."
I nod and smile at james
I follow connor and he leads me to a place with a fountain in the centre. Its a sunny day so there are a lot of people here.
We walk over to a quiet spot with not many people and sit on the stone"Wow he was so cute, please tell me hes in your school." I say.
"He is" connor says uncomfortably
I giggle and he looks at me confused.
"Im only joking. He is cute though. I smirk
"What now?" I ask
Connor laughs.
Did i say something funny?
I look at the beautiful fountain.
"What now?" I ask
Connor laughs.
Did i say something funny?
I look at the beautiful fountain then look back at Connor who now has a cigarette and lighter in his hand!
"What are you doing?" I almost shout
"Smoking?" Connor sounds surprised.
I snatch whats in his hand and put it in my bag.
"Your not smoking" i say harshly
He doesn't bother arguing back.
"Idiot" i say and get up. I walk away from Connor.
"Wait!" Connor shouts from behind but i carry on walking. I dont know where im going but im going and getting away from him.
Suddenly he grabs my arm and turns me to face him.
Our faces are about a centimetre apart and that gap could close somehow. I stare at his deep blue eyes.
I feel a hot tear running down my face.
My brother nearly died last year.
I step back and look at the floor fiddling with the bottom of my top.
"May, whats wrong?" Connor says lifting my chin up with his fingers so we make eyes contact.
He wipes the tear from my face.
"I cant stand it when people smoke.
Your risking your own life you could bloody die!
About a year ago jake started smoking. He knew it was dangerous, especially because he has asthma. One day he woke up in the middle of the night he was having an asthma attack. Luckily i was awake. I ran to his room and he was struggling to breathe. I thought he was going to die. I shouted for mum and dad and we rushed him to hospital.
Its a trauma now. He could have died right in front of my eyes.
But he didn't. Luckily i was awake
Reading a book about astronomy...
It was interesting,ok!?" I say getting more angry.
"Connor, you should know that im a very emotional person. Im very sensitive too. Not that im being a bish about it." I say.
"Im sorry. I dont usually smoke anyway. Oh and you just half swore" he smiles an amazing smile. The lighting makes his hair look brown but still looks good.
"Conner, can we go home?" I brake the silence.
"Come on" he nods and we make our way back to his black Mercedes car. Its not too big and posh but its cute and perfect.
"I really dont trust you driving" i say
"Oh really? Why dont you drive then?" He says
"I cant drive" i frown
"Well i can always teach you" he says
