No Words (Conor Maynard Fan Fiction)

Chapter 10- Not Just Friends

I woke up with a smile on my face for the first time in a long time. I still felt a little bit bad about Eddie and maybe he wasn't as ok with all of this as he looked. I didn't like doing that to him but it would just have hurt him more if I had stayed with him while having feelings for Conor. 

I lay in bed for a while just thinking about everything but all my thoughts were on Conor when I got a text from him

*Morning beautiful. I want to take you somewhere special today. Well a place that's special for me anyway but I know you'll like it too so I'll pick you up at 10. Is that ok?* I blushed when he called me beautiful.

*Perfect* I replied to him and jumped out of bed to get ready. This is the first time Conor and I are going to spend some real time together and I'm really excited. I didn't even bother to make my bed, I hoped into the shower so that I would be ready in time because it was already 9. Maybe he thought that I was an early riser and I wouldn't have been laying in bed lazily. 

I left my hair lose, I put on black stockings, a black shirt, a skirt with roses on it, a white scarf and a blue jumper. I finished putting on a bit of mascara just as the doorbell rang and I bet it's Conor. I was hoping to get to the door before my aunt or uncle did because I haven't told them about Conor and they think I'm going out with Eddie. I don't know if they'll be too happy about me going out with Conor now. I didn't tell them I broke it off with Eddie I guess. Now I feel like a horrible person. 

"Conor? What are you doing here? You can just make an appointment at the office you know" I heard my uncle say as I basically ran down the stairs to get to the door. 

"Uhm Ben, Conor is here for me. I meant to ask you if I could go with him somewhere today" I said to my uncle as I stood next to him at the door. 

"Oh. Sounds fine to me but let us know a little bit before the last second next time" My uncle said in a half joking and half serious way. 

"Will do, sorry. Bye" I said to my uncle and turned to wave to my aunt who was standing in the kitchen with a confused look on her face.

Ben's P.O.V

"Who was that dear?" Liz asked me.

"Conor Maynard" I replied, walking into the kitchen to make some coffee.

"And what was he doing at our house? And where is he going with out niece?" She turned to me and raised her eyebrows.

"They're going out somewhere. I didn't ask dear. It's not like Conor is a bad guy, I trust him so she'll be fine" I said to her, taking a sip of my coffee.

"Ben??" She said a little frustrated. "You have to ask these questions! What if he was some stranger that we didn't know? Well he is a stranger to me anyway" She said, turning back to her cooking. "Well he isn't a stranger to me and we can't stop Kate from going out with her friends" I said, putting my hands on her shoulders to try and calm her down. 

"I know I know but I worry about her darling.  A lot in fact especially because of everything that's happened. She's not the same girl we used to know." "Ofcourse she's not the same girl we used to know Liz, she's older and her parents died. She is damaged and changed and scarred in more ways than one. If we pressure her and ask her all these questions all we're doing is pushing her away Liz"

"You don't have to tell me Ben I know! Her parents were my sister and brother-in-law let me just remind you" Liz said, getting a little angry. "I know honey, I didn't mean it like that, I'm just saying we have to give the poor girl some space and let her deal with this in her own way and with whoever. She's changed yes but she wouldn't do anything stupid and dangerous we know that much!"
