Delayed - Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Moretz

Chapter 6 *unedited*

Chloe's POV

"Yeah--"I began.

"Great!" he interrupted, pulling me into a hug. He smelled fresh mixed in with pine. His chest was hard from where I placed my head, and immediately, you could tell that he had abs as a 16 year old.

I pulled away from him. "Brookly, let me finish my sentence."

He looked at me with a goofy grin. "Sure, go on, say the  whole thing."

He seemed so eager to hear me say that I would be his girlfriend. But I wasn't going to say that.

"I was going to say, 'Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.'," I explained to the ground. Well, not actually but I was looking at the ground.

Brooklyn's smile vanished from his face, only to be replaced by a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, we barely know each other. I've never dated before but I'm pretty sure that you don't date someone that you've known for a day. Plus on top of all of that, I--I don't think I'm ready to date. I'm sorry." My eyes remained glued to the ground.

"Hey," his soft voice  spoke to me. He placed his finger on his chin and lifted my face up so that I looked straight at his soft, brown eyes. How cheesy could this get? "I can give you space until you're ready."

I gave him a small smile. "Thanks."

He put on a matching smile and said, "No problem. Let's go inside and join Lilly and Matt."

We went back in and they were still talking as we slipped back into our side of the booth.

Brooklyn easily joined into their conversation while I slipped deep into thought.

Should I say yes to Brooklyn?

He was sweet and nice and very good looking.

But on the contrary, I had never dated before, and I doubt my mom would approve.

But maybe it was about time, I had my first kiss and boyfriend. I mean I was 15 and I'd never even hugged a boy aside from my dad.

Nope, I'm not ready for this. I've heard of couples that have sex after 2 months and I would not want that to happen to me. No I was too early. What if we dated and he thought that we were too close and he proposed and I was too kind hearted and I said yes and I would have to move in with him and have a baby and qui--

"Hey, Chloe, you comin'?" a voice interrupted my thought.

I looked up and saw that my three friends were standing up, ready to leave.

"Uh, yeah, I'm coming." I got up and dusted my jeans as I followed them out the door.

Matt and Lilly went opposite directions from where I lived and we said bye. Brooklyn decided to walk home with me.

We got to my front door and I turned to say goodbye to him.

Only I never did say goodbye because I got caught up in looking into his eyes which were looking at mine.

He leaned in slightly while I stood there in shock.

"We-well I'll see you tomorrow then," I eyes abruptly turned away. I ran up my drive-way and turned around one last time to say bye before slamming my door. I leaned with my back against the door and sighed.
