Happy Reading :D

"Are you sure you don't want me to drop you home?", Caleb asked me from inside his car.

"Yes Caleb, I am sure. You carry on.", I told him.

"Okay take care. See you soon.", Caleb said and left.

I have been waiting for Evan from last one hour. He asked me to wait after school and said that he will drop me home.

Where is he?
His phone is unavailable.
Should I wait.. should I leave.
Urghh.. I can't decide.
What if he comes when I leave? He'll feel bad.

I think I should leave.

I was just about leave when I saw I figure running towards me.

Evan?

Evan reached near me, and bent down putting his hands on his knees breathing heavily, gasping for air.

"Be..cc..a..aa..", he couldn't speak necause of his heavy breathing.

I went to his side and started oatting his back. I almost laughed looking at him, but I suppressed my grin trying to be serious.

Poor Evan.

"Breathe Evan..", I said and handed him my water bottle.

"Are you okay now?", I asked.

"Yes. Coach asked me run extra miles today so couldn't come on time.", he said scartching the back of his neck as if he was embarassed.

"Extra rounds? Why?", I asked him.

"Ummmm.. punishment.", he said.

"Punishment? For?"

"I wasn't paying attention when he was giving instructions.", he said putting his hands in his pockets and looking away from me.

"Why weren't you paying attention?"

"I.. I was thinking about something..."

"Thinking?", I asked in confusion.

"Ummm... I was thinking about a creative way to ask for prom.", he said a blush evident on his face.

"You what?? ", I said surprised and burst out in laughter.

Oh god!!
He was thinking about that? Evan took my joke seriously?
I asked him to try again in a better way and so he was thinking about a way to ask me?
Oh my god.
Can someone get any more cute?

Looking at me laughing, he folded his arms against his chest his expression turned to a serious one.

"Tell me when you are done laughing!", he said.

"Ohh.. sorry.. sorry.. but its funny. I was just Evan. You don't have to think of anything creative.", I said.

He raised his brows.

"But you wanted something impressive... otherwise you wouldn't go with me.", he said.

I took a step close to him.
"You don't need to do anything special. I will anyways go to prom with you.", I said and went on my tip toes and gave a peck on his left cheek.

Evan was surprised.

We were standing so close to each other.

"You will?", he whispered.

"I will.", I said and smiled at him.

"See, I told you wouldn't be able to resost my charms", he said smirking at me.

That bastard!

"Ya right Mr.Egoistic! You and your charms.", I hit his chest and pushed him away.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close again.

"What Mr.Egoistic? Charms have worked, what now?", I asked in a challenging tone looking right into his eyes.

He looked at me for few seconds.

"Thank you.", he mouthed and I was out of words.

This guy is going to be the death of me!

"Come on now, lets go home?", he said shaking me.

"Yes, I am really hungry.", I said patting my stomach.

"Ya.. how long have you been waiting?", he asked while walking towards the school parking.

"An hour.. maybe..."

He stopped. He looked at me with a frown.

"Shit Becca.. an hour? Why didn't you leave?", he said moving his hand through his hair.

"But you asked me to wait..."

"What if I didn't come at all Becca?", he asked in a soft tone.

I sighed.

"I knew you would come.", I said smiled, earning a heart warming smile from this gorgeous boy in front of me as well.

He kept looking at me.

"What? Why are you looking at me and smiling like a creep Evan?", I asked.

"Becca... you know you are amazing, right?", he said.

Oh my god..
Oh my god..
Oh my god...

I grinned and nodded.

"Okay now.. flattery is going to take you no where Mr.Harrison. Lets go now. You owe me treat because you came late.", I said and shrugged.

I started walking ahead.

"Becca.. wait.. "

I stopped and turned in his direction.

"What now?", I asked.

He came near me and held his arm out.

"This.", he said pointing at his arm.

"Let me take my prom date to a diner.", he said and I grinned.

I took his hand.

I like this guy so much..
Can there be anyone better than him...
But I wish he liked me the way I like him.
