I straighten the last chunk of hair before glancing in the mirror and grabbing my phone. "I'll be home around 10 so if you're going to do anything get it done BEFORE I'm back please" I say to Grace and Joc on my way out. "GOT IT" she yells after me and I head to my car.
"You look really nice" Buster says as soon as he opens his door. I thank him and add that he looks nice too feeling the blush rise to my cheeks. Wait why am I blushing? "So is that italian place right off campus ok?" he asks stepping out the door and locking his place. "Yeah sounds good to me." We head over and are seated almost immediately since it's a weekday and most people are working.
After we eat Buster pays like a gentleman and then drives us back to his place. "I said I wouldn't be home till 10" I say glancing at the clock that reads 9:00. "You can't go back early?" "I could but who knows what Grace and Joc are doing" "What do you mean?" he asks sounding genuinely clueless. "Um nevermind can I just stay for a little longer?" "Yeah" he gets my door for me and we walk into his apartment where I take a seat on the sofa and he sits a safe distance from me.
"Come here" I pat the spot closer to me and hold out an arm. "It's ok I don't want you to be uncomfortable" "I'm more uncomfortable with you way over there" I scoot over and pull him to the spot allowing me to rest my head on his shoulder. I glance up to see him blushing but a small smile is on his face as he stares at the wall in front of us. I smile and feel a weird feeling in my stomach. It feels like butterflies are flying in there or fireworks are going off but I shrug it away letting this innocent boy hesitantly wrap an arm around me.
