We lay on the couch watching Captain America: Civil War . Im laying in between his arms. I look up at him and whisper, "Charles, I like you." He leans down towards me, I'm sure he's going to kiss me. But what comes out of his mouth is unexpected.
"Get up you lazy ass"
"Sarah its 7, get up"
I jolt up in my bed as I realize its my older brother. I lazily get up and ready.
Of course, I would never tell Charles that I actually like him. Plus my brother would kill me if he found out I liked his friend.
I dressed in a black skirt and a dark red crop top along with some black vans.
"Hurry up, or I'll leave without you" my brother threatens. I hurry behind him and grab my things on the way out.
"Why do we have to leave so early?" I question him.
"Im picking Charles up, his car wont start" He states.
Just hearing his name makes my heart beat speed up.
"In that case I'll move to the back" i tell him moving my stuff to the back seat.
"Im also picking up Kat" he says.
Kat is his current girlfriend. I simply nod at this.
Kat ends up sitting up front with my brother, which means Charles will be sitting in the back with me.
We stop in front of his house and we walks out looking as hot as he always does. He notices Kat in front so he heads around the car not realizing that's where I'm sitting.
"Oh, hey Sarah didn't see you" he starts to move but I shift over so he can sit.
"Thanks" he says getting in.
"No problem" I mumble.
Ive never been an out going person, especially around people I like, Charles was no exception.
The ride to school was awkward. It consisted of my brother and his girlfriend talking about junior prom, which was next week.
Obviously being a freshman I didn't plan on attending.
"Hey Charles, who are going with?" Kat asks.
"Umm no one, I'm not going" he states.
The other two are shocked and begin to gush about how amazing it would be if he went.
"Why don't you take Nicole?" Kat looks back at him.
"Uh no thanks" he replies. Nicole is his ex.
My brother looks at me through his rear view mirror and a grin brakes on on his face.
"Why don't you take Sarah?" He says out of nowhere.
My heart stops beating and I'm sure Ive just passed out.
I quickly turn my head towards Charles and realize he's smiling at me. My cheeks must be so red.
"Yeah, Sarah would you want to go with me?" He says looking me directly in the eyes making me look away.
"I-I umm yeah, yeah uh sure" I say coughing awkwardly.
"Yay so its settled we're all going" Kat pipes in.
Kat starts to talk about how she's doing her makeup and how she's going to take me to look for a dress after school.
•••
Today was junior prom, and let me tell you going while your a freshman can be weird. My friends were freaking out they had gone with Kat and I to help me find a dress. Some how Kat had found out that I actually like Charles and she had started freaking out too.
Somehow Kat had managed to get me out early so that we could go get ready.
Currently she was doing my makeup and one of her close friends was doing my hair.
"So are you excited about today? You know I saw Charles in his suit earlier and I pocked out his tie so that it matched your dress, you guys are gonna be so cute" she gushed causing me to blush.
Charles had begun to talk to me a lot more than he had before and I had opened up(only a little) to talking a bit more.
"Ok, your all set you look so beautiful. Charles is going to fall in love with instantly....well more than he has already.." She says which, again, made me blush.
•••
An hour and a half later we're all ready and waiting down stairs. My brother had gone to get ready with Charles so that he wouldn't be here to bother us.
Finally the bell rings and begin to become nervous, what if he doesn't like what I'm wearing?
Kat walks out to open the door and her friend follows her however I decide to go back to the kitchen and look over myself again. Kat comes into the kitchen and smiles at me.
"What's wrong what are you doing in here Charles is waiting" she takes my hand in hers "you look beautiful don't worry" she adds.
I begin to freak out.
"But what if he doesn't like what I'm wearing, or my makeup, or my hair, or what if he just doesn't like me? What if he's doing this out of pity? He probably thinks I'm annoying and-" I notice she's not even paying attention to me but looking behind me.
"I'll leave now." She says walking away I look at her confused and turn around. My heart beat accelerates.
"For the record I think you look gorgeously beautiful and also, I've had a slight crush on you since I was about 10 and came here all the time." He smiles at me and walks towards me. Im paralyzed in my spot and then realize what he's just said.
He hugs me and I just about melt.
"Come on lets go." He takes my hand and leads me outside.
Every one decides to go in separate cars, so I'm alone with Charles.
"Did you really want to come with me? I thought you where going to say no, I never pictured you for a party person." He says looking over at me.
"Um yeah I think it could be fun" I say. When we get there we decide to dance.
The night goes by with a whole lot of dancing, and I find a new side to Charles. He lets his childish side out and makes what would be classified as 'dad jokes'. They've announced that they will be playing the last song.
We begin to slow dance and I place my head on his chest. We dance with out talking for a minute.
"Sarah?" He whispers.
"Mhm?"
"Can I tell you something?" He says looking down.
"Yeah?"
He hesitates for a moment opening and shutting his mouth.
"I-I um think I....I think I like you" he says quickly. I smile at him.
"I like you too." He looks down at me and slowly leans down. He slowly touches his lips to mine slowly. He pulls away after a couple of minutes.
"Yeah, I definitely like you" he laughs.
