Love Bite

Ch 18: Bride To Be

I look at Nate and see his smiling face.

"We have the same breaks" I point out.

"Yeah, okay" he says.

I spot the group of girls and notice that the one who likes Nate is glaring at us.

I sigh and turn back to Lilly.

"Lilly, do you like cooking?" I ask her, trying to get my mind off of them.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so" she says shyly, though I can tell that she's not being honest with me.

"I mean, why did you choose it?" I ask her a question that is harder to beat around the bush with.

"Um" she mumbles, drumming her fingers on the table.

"Do you want to be a chef?" I finally ask.

She sighs "yes"

"I saw your folder in class, it is so adorable" I say "and all the cakes in it, they are so pretty too"

"I like baking a lot" she says.

"You'll like my godmother then" I tell her.

"Your godmother?" She asks.

"That's kind of a weird thing to say Eva" Nate points out.

"Oh, sorry" I say, I must've sounded like a weirdo "it's just that my godmother likes baking too"

"Okay" Lilly says.

"And you are so good at drawing and stuff, it's all so cute" I say "sorry if I sound like a weirdo, I just really like your folder and your phone and stationary and everything, it's all so cute"

"Thanks" she says, her cheeks heating up to a pretty shade of pink.

"Where did you get the cute charm on your phone?" I ask her, looking at it from across the table.

I reach over "can I have a look?"

She nods.

I start inspecting it, it's a cute little cat on a phone strap. I rarely ever see other people with phone straps. Considering that with smart phones they don't generally have one. But that doesn't mean you can't strap it to your phone case. I have a Pokemon one on mine at the moment. Both Anne and me got them and then I got obsessed with the cute little things. At the moment I have an old Oshowatt that the paint is coming off of. I have others around for until it breaks (like, a motherlode) and planned on making some for myself but never got around to it. So now I have little phone straps with no charms on them added to my craft box.

"I love it, and your phone case is so cute too" I say, looking down at her light pink phone case with white Lacey designs on it, and also equipped with a coloured in bow.

"I made them actually" she says, sounding a little scared to tell me.

"That's so awesome!" I exclaim "can you tell me how you did it? Oh my gosh. It's okay if you don't want to, I don't want to bother you"

"It's okay" she says "I can try and explain it to you"

"Hmm" I hum, thinking "why don't you just come over? We can hang out"

I notice the shock set in on her face, and then as she looks down at her phone that I've now given back to her, she seems worried.

"It's okay if you don't want to, I can understand that coming to a house filled with boys and stuff and all of them being vampires is scary" I say.

"It's not exactly that" she says "I mean, it's half that"

I narrow my brows in thought.

"Oh." I realise it "is it because you are worried that I just want to hang out with you because of the crafting stuff?"
