The Boy Next Door

chapter 17 - open the door you bozo

"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"

We just stood outside my house staring into each other's eyes. With his perfect sapphire eyes and my plain green ones I kind of felt like I was losing.

"Your eyes aren't just plain green, they're a mesmerising emerald, that I fall in love with every time I look into them"

Oh shit I said that out loud?

"Yes."

Shit.

"Kacey I can still hear you" he laughed.
"Shut up" I smiled. A real genuine smile that only ever came out when he was around.

He slid his arms around my waist and hugged me in close, resting his head atop mine. God I really was small compared to him! I held him tight never wanting to let go when my phone buzzed.

Mum❤️: Kace it's 1am, are you done with your date yet? It doesn't matter if your not. Carry on. Do you love it? It was SO romantic wasn't it? Bless him :) xx

I rolled my eyes and showed my phone to Austin. He chuckled.

Kace👸: I'm outside the door mum😂 xx
Mum❤️: Hold on hunny I'll come out xx
Kace👸: NO!!!
Mum❤️: Ooh, is Austin with you? ;) xx
Kace👸: Yes mother. And use your emojis, you have an iPhone for Christ's sake! Xx
Mum❤️: Like I know how to use this flippin' phone! Don't be too long ;) xx
Kace👸: *retches*
Mum❤️: Haha xx

My god.

I have nothing more to say to that.

I kissed Austin goodbye.

"I'm good to you see?"
"Why? Coz you planned this whole perfect day perfectly?"
"Well, that and I walked you home."
"You live next door!" I laughed.
"Yeah but I had to walk past my house and now I have to walk back!"

I sighed and kissed him again.

"Bye Austin!"
"Goodbye princess"

I turned away so he couldn't see the blush that was creeping up my cheeks.

I fumbled around with my key and let myself in.

"Hi mum!"
"Hey baby! Did you have a good time?"
"It...was...AH-MAY-ZING!!" I squealed flopping down onto the couch.
"Gooood! I'm so happy for you Kay" she said coming over and kissing my forehead. "This boy is so good for you"

I sighed in content. He was more than good. He was my everything and completely perfect.

"I know"

The I shut my eyes and dreamt about the perfect day I'd just had.

~*~*~

"AHHHHHH!!!" Zara screamed.
"Mmhmm"
"And then you kissed?!"
"Mmhmm"
"Your first kiss?!"
"Mmhmm"
"AAAAHHHHHHH!!"
"Zah, shut it, your blowing my eardrums out"
"Party pooper."
"Speaking of parties-"
"ITS ALMOST PROM!!!!!!"
"I KNOW!!!!!" I joined in on her excitement.
"Do you know the theme yet?"
"Not a clue. They haven't told anyone yet so nobody knows. We all find out tomorrow."
"Unless..."
"Zara we are NOT sneaking into Mrs Cooper's office!"
"Whyyyy?" She whined.
"Because it's against school rules?" I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You'd think now that you have a badass boyfriend you'd be a little more badass yourself."
"Shut up."
