Love Shy

Chapter Four

I woke up to my phone buzzing and looked down to see dad was calling. It was 11.15pm. Omg. I quickly answered.

"Hi..."

"Hey Shy. I'm outside."

"Ok, 2 minutes." 

I hung up and turned to Rio; he was still asleep. I nudged him lightly and he didn't even stir. He looked so yummy, I wanted to kiss him. I became flushed, realising he wouldn't mind if I actually did. Leaning up I pecked him softly and then looked up guiltily. He didn't move. Hmmm...I leaned in again this time, putting more pressure on his mouth. He opened his eyes groggily. 

"Hi," I whispered.

"Hi yourself," he said, rubbing his eyes. His voice was so deep; he sounded amazing.

"I gotta go," I said sadly. He leaned in and kissed me again and I momentarily forgot what I was saying. I pushed away feeling myself go red.

"Ye, I know I know, you gotta go," he huffed getting off the bed after pushing me up. We walked downstairs quietly and when he reached the bottom he turned around and waited till I was on the bottom step. I was still shorter but much closer to his height now. He was grinning like a looser as he pulled me close and kissed me again. "What am I Shy?" he asked softly as he pulled away.

"A boy?" I responded, not knowing where he was going with this. He was looking at me seriously again.

"No, what am I to you? What are we Shy?" Oh. I looked down. How was I meant to answer this? I could feel the colour in my cheeks. "Ok I'll leave it, but after today you can't say you don't want me, Shy. You're mine and I'm yours. If you want time to get used to it before we make it official that's alright, but we are together." I nodded and he lifted my chin up so I could see him smiling down at me. I smiled back shyly and he left me to put my shoes on. I gave him a final hug and walked to my dad’s car. 

"Hey Shy."

I smiled in return. "Hey." 

"Why were the lights off? The house was completely dark?" Oh. Detective dad? My face flamed.

"Errr, after dinner we just watched a film in his room. His gran was in her room." He looked at me for a minute and nodded slowly. 

After a while of silence he began awkwardly, "so when do I get to meet him Shy?" he asked with his eyes still on the road.

"Err dad, I just met him a few days ago. It's no big deal," I moaned, the embarrassment evident.

"Come on Shy, we gotta talk about it someday. You spent a lot of time with this boy from what I hear, and I'm not trying to be in your business but if he is gonna be more than a friend I would like to meet him before things get serious. That's all I'm saying." I slunk down in my chair I wanted to just melt away. This was so cringy.

"No one said we were getting together dad, he's just a friend," I mumbled. He sighed and we continued in more uncomfortable silence till we reached home. Upon entering the house I headed straight for the stairs but dad called me back. I walked down and stood on the third step, staring with dread.

"I don't have to meet Rio if you're not happy with it, but you're fifteen soon, and when you do decide you're ready for a boyfriend I would like to meet him. I know it's tough with no women around, but you gotta talk to someone other than your friends and I'm here is all I'm saying. Ok?" I nodded and after saying goodnight raced upstairs. I text Rio to say I was home and ran my bath. He replied almost straight away.

Hubby x: 

Good, I'm in bed missin you already hope you ain't got no regrets about today I just wanna make you feel right. What time we meeting tomoro?

I quickly replied saying Kayla and Carina were coming to mine at 11 so he could do the same and then I put my phone on charge and had my bath before passing out on my bed.

The next day at 9.45 I was sitting on my bed in a towel rocking back and forth. I was scared looking at my wardrobe what could I wear. Rio was coming; I wanted to look like a girl at least. A knock on my door made me snap out of it. Dad popped his head around the door.

"Shy, I just...what are you doing? What's wrong?" he looked concerned.

"I have no nice clothes," I grumbled.

"But I thought you were going shopping today?" he was so confused.

I sighed. "Yea, but I have nothin' to wear shopping."

"Yes you do. What about that black and red tracksuit or your jeans?"
