Talk About Awkward 🎈

16. My Beautiful Girlfriend

I woke up to Max bursting my door open and demanding me to tell her about my date with Reese last night. She could have asked her dear cousin who is staying under the same roof as her but no, she had to come over to mine for details.

When I should be sleeping in since I have a day suspension.

Gotta make full use of it, right?

"Reese can be really violent in mornings." Max explained when I asked her why she wouldn't wake Reese up for details.

"So you came to me because you know I'm tolerable in the morning." Max nodded.

"What a great friend." I mumbled sarcastically.

"C'mon! Spill! What happened? Did you guys become official? Is that why Reese has that stupid grin on his face when he came home?"

"Whoah... slow down and yeah, we did get official last night."

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! I'm so happy! Tell me everything." Max emphasized the 'everything', and sat in front of me with that stupid grin on her face.

"Well..." I took a deep breath.

"Be my girlfriend."

It took me some time to understand the message.

"You're telling me to be your girlfriend?" Reese nodded. "Shouldn't you ask me to be your girlfriend?"

"Remember what you told me in the car the other day? Not to give the girl an excuse to say no?"

I can't believe he remembered that. I said that a long time ago!

Actually, you said that yesterday, my mind said.

Ugh... my mind's love of being the party pooper in my life. Can't you give poor me a break?

I looked at Reese. "I'm going to say yes anyway... because I want to."

"Whatever you say." Reese gave me an amused grin.

'That's what I said."

"Good."

"Good."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"This is getting really awkward and embarassing because I don't know how to end this conversation." Reese admitted.

"You wanna make out together until we forget this conversation?" I suggested.

"I love your thinking, girlfriend." Reese smirked.

"Then what are you waiting for, boyfriend?" I smirked.

"And that's how we got official." I ended.

"Awww that's so cute and romantic!" Max cooed.

"It is." I felt my cheeks heat up at the same time Max said "Awww look she's blushing again!"

"Who's blushing?" A voice joined us, putting his arm around me. "Hey girlfriend." Reese kissed my forehead."

That did not help at all. Instead, it made my face so hot that I'm certain I can cook an egg on my face right now.

"Awww he kissed on her forehead and she blushed! And they call each other boyfriend and girlfriend! So cute!"

"When did you arrive here?" I asked Reese.

"A while ago... your mom let me in." Reese replied.

"You know what sounds cuter? If you call each other by pet names." Max suggested.
