The Thief Who Stole My Heart

Cups

I throw the cleaning supplies back in the cupboard, I just cleaned up the mess Lexi made in the back of Joe's car, Joe was looking after Lexi whom is nursing a massive hang over. I strip off the rubber gloves before throwing them away- they are disgusting.

I run upstairs and grab clean clothes, pulling the, on before shoving the dirty ones in the washing machine.
Ding!
I'm interrupted by the doorbell, I swiftly walk to the door and pull it open.
He was there.
I froze, how can he do that to me- yes, we aren't even going out but he attempts to make a move on me then snogs Stacy's face off?! I was better off invisible.

"I erm saw you at the store"
I smile, his blushing eases the tension and suddenly I don't feel mad anymore.
"Taken to stalking then, have we?" I banter.
"Not really.."
I smile at his cherry red blush.
"But anyway, I saw you couldn't get any Reece's pieces so..."
He brandishes a packet before presenting them to me.

Reece's POV

I hand them to her and her eyes lit up like a child on Christmas, she smiles at me with genuine meaning.

"How? There wasn't any left?"
Oh... Now the mushy part
"I erm drove to another store and grabbed some"
"But the only other one is like an hour away!"
"Yeah well..." I trail off
"For me? Wow!"

The next thing I know is her arms are wrapping around my shoulders. I freeze before hugging her back- my embrace as tight as her.

Riley's POV

Without any hesitation or a second thought, I lock him in a tight hug, I was about to pull away after he froze but they he hugged me back so I hugged tighter, clutching him like a lifeline.

We both pull away and his cheeks got even redder and I felt mine flush too.

" sso I wwas wondering if you might want to go on a date with me?" Reece stuttered
"Of course!"
"Phew!" His face flooded with relief.
"I will pick you up at 7 tomorrow?"
"Okay!" I chirp.

I can't believe I made The Reece Blackman stammer! A part of my mind is nagging that it's a joke but it can't be- I'm a cheerleader (sorta) now, things are different now.
