Flabby Patty

13.

For some reason my feet felt like they had a weight of a million bricks on them.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I growled walking towards him. Picking up all the scattered pages, I pretended to ignore his cheeky grin.

"Calm down Flabby Patty," he laughed pulling my arm. "I just wanted to see you."

"You could have seen me at school," I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah but Mac probably wouldn't like me seeing you," he looked at me with his eyes so intense. "I wanted to tell you something."

For a moment, I was drowning into his presence. He pulled me towards him like a magnet. I shook my head thinking about Mac. What the hell was I doing?

"No you listen," I shoved his hand away. "You lied about Avery. You broke up with her three days ago. I don't know what game you're playing Hunter but please get the hell out of my room!"

He stared at me with his mouth dropped open, stunned. "Wow."

I scoffed picking up the pages and placing them on the study table.

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much," Hunter sighed getting to his feet. He dug his hands into his jeans pocket and walked up behind me. I could feel his breath on my neck, that's how close he was. "Patty, why do you hate me?"

My body started to shake because I was raging. I was bloody mad at him. With a sudden jerk, I turned to face him.

"Okay lets see," I spoke with my fists clenched on my sides. "You spent all of middle school bullying me, making me miserable and hating myself for my weight. You made fun of me, hurt me, and made me feel like a worthless trash for my entire life. Called me names like Flabby, Fatso, Fatass and what not. So Hunter, why don't you remind me again WHY I hate you so much."

I took a deep breath finishing my rant.

"That's.." his expression was hard to read. He was speechless and seemed a little hurt by my sudden venting. But to be honest, I didn't care. "I didn't know you took it so seriously."

Folding my arms across my chest, I shook my head. "Just leave Hunter."

He grabbed me by my arms and pulled me to him holding my body close to his. I almost screamed but I was so shocked and surprised by his move that I couldn't say anything or even move at all.

"I don't get you at all Patty," he said angrily. "One moment you complain that i have been avoiding you, another minute you tell me to leave!"

My jaw dropped open but no words came out. My heart was throbbing insanely.

"When you look at me like that," he sighed. "It makes me think Patty." His fingers trailed down my sides making me shiver.

Tears welled up in my eyes. What the hell was he doing to me? My body started to shake and my face turned red.

He suddenly let go of me and placed a hand on my head. "I am sorry. I crossed the line."

He turned around and walked out of my room, down the stairs and out the front door.

"Mac?" I said timidly. He was standing with a bunch of older guys during lunch break at school the next day. His eyes turned towards me and he sighed.

"I'll catch you guys later," he told the other guys. Putting his hand on my back, he led to me the side. "What is it?"

"I am sorry for yesterday," I bit my lower lip. It was the blue varsity jacket he wore that made me just want to kiss him. "I didn't mean to snap at you."

"Its okay," he shrugged showing no sign of forgiveness on his face. "You can't help liking someone."

"What?" I half yelled. "I was not even thinking about Hunter! I was missing my Dad."

His lips parted and fluttered his eyelids. "I-I didn't know I am sorry."

Letting out a huge sigh, I took his hand into my palm. "You're the only guy I ever think about. Just you Mac."

His beautiful eyes softened and he nodded. My heart couldn't help but skip a beat with joy by the way he made me feel.

"I am sorry for overreacting," he whispered leaning in close to my mouth. I filled the gap between us by placing my lips on his. Mac's strong arms wrapped around my body as he kissed me back. There was nothing in the world that tasted better than his kiss. He was my knight in shining armour. Those words Hunter had read, they were for Mackenize. My Mackenzie.

Mackenzie. Mac. Mackenzie.

The only name that spinned around in my mind as I kissed him again. This moment, was where we both belonged. Together.

"You're one hell of a kisser," he chuckled placing his forehead against mine. I laughed and my cheeks turned a bright pink color. "Patty I wanted to ask you something."

"Anything," I whispered rubbing my nose against his.

He backed away slightly digging his hand into his pocket. His fingers pulled out a small box with a red velvet covering.

My eyes grew big as my veins throbbed like hell.

He slowly opened the box and I saw a beautiful silver ring sitting inside the box. "Will you go to Prom with me?"

"M-Mac I-I..." I stammered and his soft hands took mine placing the ring on my finger.

"I really didn't know what to get you," he rubbed his neck nervously. "Some friends suggested a ring so I got it."

"I love it," I flushed and my mouth started to hurt from smiling too much. "And ofcourse I'll go to prom with you!"

"Good," he winked at me and put the box back into his pocket. "I have a lot of plans for prom night."

"You're making it sound like a wedding night," I chuckled while rolling my eyes.

"Could be something like that," he winked again making my heart stop. And ladies and gentleman, I died.
