Only you - (Fanfiction about Perri Kiely)

Part 8

*Hola chicas!! Thank you for the words of encouragement to tell me to carry on writing. I'll make sure these following parts are great to keep you guys interested.*

After saying bye to Ellie, I pounced on my bed and unfolded the piece of paper.

What do you know?

It read, "You're a great dancer, would like to see you again sometime. Meet me at the park Wednesday near lakeside? X"

My heart skipped so many beats that I felt like singing Olly Murs' song! I rang up Ellz and then started planning what I'm going to wear. Black jeans, plain white top and doc martins with a red checkered jacket.

When the day came round, I barely got any sleep with my dog barking at some annoying squirrel.

7am. Ok you can do this Rebecca. I know this is abnormal to you and you've never actually done this in your life.

But today is the day that you will wake up early.

I heaved myself up tiptoed towards the bathroom. I'm pretty sure no one else is up yet, so I try to be extra quiet.

I look at myself in the mirror. Ugh. I'm certain that sh!t looks better than me right now. I shower, careful not to wet my hair because it legit takes a century to dry it, blow dry or not.

I raid my mum's makeup supply, I don't have one because makeup isn't really my thing. Maybe just mascara will be fine. I don't want to over do it a meet him looking like a hooker.

Alright my stomach's rumbling, but for some reason I'm not that hungry. I just make do with some toast and jam. Grabbing my keys, I make sure I tell mum I'm leaving. Last time I forgot she had a whole search team looking for me, turns out I fell asleep in the garage after being locked down there... that was the last time I forgot my keys to the house and tried to get in through the back door.

Moving on..

I walked down to the bottom of my road to the bench that me and Ellie meet up at before we go to school.

"Hey!", she softly says, "What's up?"

"Just going down to the park to meet Perri", I said while trying to keep a straight face.

"Go on you know you want to", she said after giving me a sly smile.

"I'M GOING ON A DATE WITH PERRI KIELY!", I yelled to no one in particular.

She just laughed at me and hugged me. "You hopeless child. What am I going to do with you?"

"Wish me luck and call me later?"

"Definitely".

After jumping on the train and bus, I walked down to the park and saw him sitting behind a tree.

"Hi", I said, poking my head around the tree.

"Hey", he said looking at me in surprise, "I thought you wouldn't come". He spoke with a soft Essex accent. Mine isn't as strong but its pretty close to it.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?", I said while returning the smile.

" I don't know. I just thought that you might go to the wrong park or I won't be here or.."

"Don't worry its fine, I'm here now." Cutting him off. "So what do you want to do? Go on the swings?"

"Sure", we stood up from the grass that I didn't realize was freshly cut.

"Umm..Pel...?" I said laughing. "Yh?" he replied engrossed in his phone.

" You have grass on your ass", practically peeing myself laughing. He kept turning around trying to see it. "Oh my gosh", he said. Pel was dusting himself off while I was laughing at him.
