It's not a Cinderella story

chapter 15

"Hey," I said again.

He smiles and pushes off the ground swinging. "What do I owe this calling of my presence, my dear lady?"

I snort and join him. "I wanted to ask you somethings and I was lonely so don't go feeding your ego saying I missed you. Syd is in hollywood and Neomi won't be coming because her and Chris are getting close so you were my only option."

"Touché," he says and we swing in comfortable silence, watching the sun fall off the horizon. And when night takes it place, millions of stars touch evrey corner and the big full moon winks at us .

"Why did you ask me to come meet your parents when you found information about my parents?" I ask, breaking the silence.

He sighs and stops. I follow suit, looking at him, "When I found out your mom was murdered, i didnt know how else to to tell you, so, in the heat of the moment it came out of my mouth." I nod understandably.

"Thanks, if you did, I would of cried in front of you and I know you'd never let me go on that."

He rolls his eyes. "No, I would understand. My mom died of cancer when I was eight." I look at him and see sadness roll over his eyes.

"Sorry to hear that, I bet she was a great women." He nods and gets off, going to lay down on the grass near the edge of the park .

"So how did you take it when Neomi told you?" I hear him say.

"Not good,it's not everyday that you find out your mother died in a shooting." He laughs and lifts his head up cocking it to the side for me to join him.I get up and go over to where he is laying, being careful as I sit down, not to cause a lot of strain on my back.

"I'm sorry I poked into your life. I know I shouldn't have and-," I place my hand over his mouth.

"Dude, shut up, stop apologizing. I get it, you wanted to know more and all though I want to scream at you for picking into my past, I'm glad you did, because, if not I would be living a lie knowing that my mother died in a crash and not the truth."

I take the hand away and he stares at me for a moment before bringing his hand to face cupping my cheek. "I know this is off topic but why did Angelo push you?" I sigh and take his hand away from face and in front me so his palm is facing my face. With my finger, I trace the patterns of his hand, the veins, his fingers and let the warmth wash over me.

I go to say oh I'm used to it but I don't, knowing he would question me and questions led to secrets and secrets lead to a not any normaller life. "It was in the heat of the moment and she was angry, but when we got back she apologized and baked me cookies." if cookies you mean chores then yeah she gave me cookies

"That's nice of her. Good to know she knows what she did wrong." I inwardly snort if she did I wouldn't have a small slouch when I walk. "Also why did you tell me to go away, and tell me you don't need this?" He pauses while he lets out a small chuckle, "Sorry I'm asking, it's just been on my mind."

I intertwine our fingers together and kiss the back of his hand " It' s what Angelo wanted to hear but it's true we can't see our be near each other anymore." I release his hand and look over at him. I really wish I could be friends with you Ty but I can't at the moment. I can't explain why , but just trust me when I say I can't" he closes his eyes before next thing I know he's over top of me, pinning me down.

He stares down at me while determination sets in his beautiful-I mean decent hazel eyes. "Coree, that's all I hear from you and better yet I can't get an explantion and I'm not asking you for much, just be my friend at the least we don't have to date I'm fine with that , well not really,  but i'll cope. I just want to be able to be someone that you want to come to for comfort. But you keep pushing me away and I can' t deal with this Co please, let me in."
