Chapter Twenty

"Claire, don't worry about it, I'll be fine." My Dad tried to reassure me. We had arrived at the hospital half an hour ago and we had to leave soon. I was sitting on one chair besides my dad and Nadine was sitting next to me. Stiles stood at the end of my Dad's bed.

"I'll take care of him." Nadine smiled at me and I nodded.

"Okay, okay." I put my arms up in surrender and hugged my Dad goodbye. "If anything happens you call me!" My Dad nodded rolling his eyes. I placed one last kiss on my Dad's cheek and also hugged Nadine. Standing up from my seat Stiles said his goodbyes before my Dad interrupted him.

"Actually I'd like to talk to you for a second...in private." I raised my eyebrows in surprise and so did Stiles. He actually looked scared.

"Dad!" I said in a scolding manner squinting my eyes at him.

"Don't worry I'm not gonna rip his head off." I rolled my eyes and Nadine and I made our way out of the room.

"He's exaggerating." I huffed out crossing my arms infront of my chest.

"So..." Nadine smirked. "What's going on between you two?"

"It's kind of a long story." I liked Nadine and I could talk to her about anything. She was quite a bit younger than my Dad, not too much though. It's not like they look like father and daughter, I always found it a bit crazy when young women have a partner that is like double their age. But anyway, to each his own, as long as they're happy.

Nadine was looking at me expectantly her eyebrows raised and I told her the shortform of all that had happened between me and Stiles. "...but we're not together now or anything." I ended and she pulled a face.

"Bummer. You're really cute together. Call me as soon as he asks you out!" She spoke excitedly and I rolled my eyes once again. I was about to answer when the door opened and Stiles stepped out. He ran his hand over his head and let out a breath.

"You alright there?" I asked him chuckling and he nodded absently before looking at me.

"Yep. Yes totally fine. Still got all party of my body. Yes." He replied while checking his body making me laugh when he checked between his legs.

"C'mon we have to go. Bye Nadine, I'll call you." I said and hugged her again.

"Bye, drive carefully!" I gave her a thumbs up before dragging a mumbling Stiles behind me towards the elevators.

"Shit, Stiles what about the chemistry project? Harris is gonna kill us!" We were about ten minutes away from home when I remebered that we still had to finish that stupid project. Stiles rubbed my knee soothingly.

"Don't worry about it. I'll finish it tonight. We just have to hand it in, no presentation so we should be fine." He smiled at me and I nodded, grabbing his hand on my knee and entwining our fingers. For the next couple of minutes I just stare out of the window until we pulled up on my driveway. I hopped out of the Jeep and so did Stiles walking over to my side.

"Thank you again Stiles. I'm so grateful for what you have done for me this weekend." I reached into my jeans pocket and handed him a couple of bills my Dad had given me for him.

"Stop thanking me and keep the money you don't have to pay me. I gladly helped you out." He said shoving my hand away lightly.

"Stiles please take the money it's the least I can do. You had to get gas two times and your Jeep is pretty worn out. It's not even my money it's my Dad's. He has enough of it." I shoved my hand back and Stiles huffed but accepted it anyways. I wrapped my arms around his neck in a hug and he responded immediately. "Let me say it one last time." I mumbled and whispered another thanks. Stiles just chuckled before letting go of me.

"I'll see you tomorrow at school?" He asked and I nodded smiling. I couldn't wait. I turned around to walk up to my porch but Stiles held me back by my arm. "Oh and Claire?" I turned around to look at him. "I'm sorry but I have to do this now." I looked at him confused and before I could ask him what he was talking about he took one fast stride towards me, grabbed my face with both hands and slammed his lips down on mine. My eyes went wide in surprise before fluttering shut. My whole body was covered in goosebumps and waves of happiness shovered over me. It felt like the first time we kissed. It was amazing. I threw my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me my hands entangling in his hair. My insides were doing flips and I felt like I was floating. Before I could start moving my lips against his, Stiles pulled away and I frowned before peeling my eyes open. Stiles was smiling down at me. "Take things slow, remember?" I rolled my eyes in response before pecking his lips swiftly.

"You're absolutely right." He nodded and we looked at each other before both leaning in again. This time our lips were moving in perfect sync and my knees were getting weak. I pulled myself closer to Stiles and he wrapped his arms around my waist supporting me. Eventually we had to pull away to catch our breath but we were still so close that our lips were brushing lightly against each other.

"Wow." Stiles breathed out his breath hitting my lips.

"Wow." I replied in the same way getting lost in his hazel eyes. "I think I should get inside now..." I mumbled and he nodded again pecking my lips. "Bye Stiles." I whispered pulling him into another hug.

"Bye Claire." He whispered in my ear before letting go of me. I placed one last kiss on his cheek before turning around and walking up my porch. When I reached the door I turned around one last time. Stiles hadn't moved an inch and was still standing where I had let go of him. I raised my hand in a light wave and bit my lip. He waved back and I opened my door stepping into my home. I kept my eyes on Stiles until the door was closed.

I was floating on cloud nine.
