During lunch Carla has been whispering me to tell Hunter how I felt. I've been refusing to do so. After the break was over I had spanish class. Carla would move her eyes towards Hunter to indicate to finally tell him. I shook my head as an answer. Then it was literature, we were watching a video all lesson and then the last lesson of the day was chemistry. He didn't show up, typical.
It was a boring time during this class since all we did was listen and take notes. School was over and it was also Friday. I got driven back home. Ate lunch and then just chilled in my room by scrolling through my phone. Eventually I opened up mine and hunter's chat. Unconsciously I started to write a text. I send it and immediately realized what I had done. Worst of all, he read it.
Noelle: I like you.
Hunter: What?
Noelle: Ignore it!
Hunter: I don't think so, princess. Are you able to meet up today?
Noelle: Yeah.
I was nervous. Why did I do that?! He send me the location and time, it was ok with me. I got dressed for that. I walked out of the house, I was driven to the spot, I didn't want to take my car since I would ahem to find a spot to park at and it would have taken me some time to do that. He wanted us to meet at the park. I strolled to the decided spot, I was actual first to arrive. I didn't have to wait long, maybe like a most five minutes.
"Hi."
"Hey."
It was awkward, we were just standing, not saying anything or doing. Then he started to walk and I followed him. We walked for a bit, nothing.
"I am sorry I had texted you that message, it wasn't even for anyone, I just did it."
"You know when they say that a drunk's actions are sober's thoughts? Maybe unconsciously you have done it. But perhaps you didn't mean it actually."
"Yes. I didn't mean it."
"I know I am irresistible, princess but why over text?" He was now facing me with a smirk decorating his face. I crossed my arms.
"You do think very highly of yourself."
"Maybe I do."
We started to throw sentences and words, sounded like we were fighting and hating each other. I started to feel uneasy like it had happened before. Then I remembered my parents. My eyes started to water a bit and I couldn't take it, so I said it.
"I like you! A lot. Its weird but I do. I-I saw a different you, maybe a better version of you that barely anyone sees."
"Finally." He came closer to m, brought up his hands up to my cheeks and cuffed them. We leaned in for a kiss. The kiss didn't last long and I wished it would have. I looked at him and feeling flushed.
"Natural blush looks good on you, princess." He made me smile.
"I actual thought you hated me." Hunter continued.
"I did. But after we hanged out at my place for the project something changed I guess."
"You couldn't resist my charms, couldn't you?" He whispered in my ear.
"Sure, I that helps you sleep at night."
Hunter brought his arms around me and put me in a hug. He was smiling, like really smiling and looking all happy, a genuine happiness was radiating off of him, I liked him that way, not the fake smile he tends to put on in school, I noticed it that but many seem to not see it. Its sad to see him not being able to be himself in school or even just outside. I have seen the real him, he allowed me to see Hunter Quinn, real him. This all just makes even more sense for his guard being let down for me, he liked me for some time now and I was clueless.
