❤When Two Eyes Meet❤

❤Part 10❤

Mark pulled his dark navy blue BMW car to a stop besides my drive way. “Thank you so much, Mark” I say a bit shy while my cheeks were still pink from earlier. I know because I can feel them. I than grab onto the door handle and slightly push the door to an open. “Wait” Mark says softly as he gently grabs hold of my arm; I take a look at his hand who grabbed onto me and up to him a little surprised. “Y-Yes?” I stutter with a smile as our eyes met. “My friend David is having a pool party on the last day of school right after the play finishes and well I was wondering if you want to come with me?” He asks with full confidence while I’m totally the opposite of him as I explode inside of happiness. ‘Oh god! Did Mark just invited me!?’  “And of course there is no problem if your friends want to come also. So what do you say? Would you like to come?” He says as his smile grows wider on the last question. The inner me jumps around and squeals of happiness. “Yea I would love to go, t-thank you for inviting me” my smile grows as wide as Marks. “Okay than…it’s a date” He says while his smile turns into a smirk. The inner me spins around as she faints down to the floor. “Y-Yea…I guess it is” I reply as he lets go of my arm while I slowly get out of his car. I close the door behind me "Bye, Mark" I say turning around to wave good bye to him from his car window that was halfway opened. “See you later, Kacey!” I heard the car leave my neighborhood from behind me. I came to a stop when I arrived to my house door and turned around to see his car making a turn to the busy road. I hold on to my book tight against me. "Why can’t I just tell him how I feel?" I ask myself out loud as I leaned on my door. My phone vibrated inside my pocket interrupting my thoughts. I reached my hand towards it to check who it was.

Bestie!!   Was read as the contact name.

"Hey gurl!" I answered excitedly

"Edgar invited me to meet him at the mall today and he said you can come along with us if you wanted and after that were going to the movies!" She says more excited than me.

  "I don't know Angel. I feel like I’m going to be a disturbance.. maybe I should leave you two alon-"

"No don't even finish that sentence, I left school early today and didn't spend time with you in theater class. I miss my bestie! SO you’re coming with us! "

I chuckled and finally agreed to go with them.

"Ok were going to be there like around 6 pm so see you there!"

"Ok bye" I giggle as I hung up.

~~~

"Awwwe he drove you home and held your hand!!" Angel squeals making everyone in Starbucks turn to face our table. "GUUUURl, you guys aren't friends anymore" Amelia adds as she raises her eyebrows with a huge smile along with it.  I turned to face her and shaked my head with a chuckle even though I wish that was true. Edgar stood up from his chair "So are you girls ready to head on to the movies?"  "Wait!" Angel takes one more slurp from her favorite coffee

Frappe chino cold coffee.

"Ok ready!" From that we all stood up and walked out of Starbucks and headed strait to the Cinemark a couple of stores away from Starbucks. I walked in between Amelia and Angel who walked really close to Edgar. Amelia being Amelia raises her eyebrows at her constantly as I formed a heart with my hands. Angel chuckled and covered her face with her hands embarrassed. "Payback" I whispered to her as we walked along with other teens walking back and forth like sugar ants. When we were about to enter the theater all of a sudden I see Amelia come to a stop and jumped up and down like a kangaroo with a small a low squeal in the corner of my eye. Confused I turned around to look at her as Angel and Edgar walked along to the ticket stand. Before I knew it Amelia grabbed me by the shoulders and pushed me towards a group of guys out in the hall. "Whoa" A deep voice from the guy I bump with says; I quickly look up embarrassed to see who he was.

 It was David.

The three guys who walked besides him peeked to see who David was talking to. It was Joseph, Ivan and...Mark. I turned around to see Amelia from the distance already with Angel and Edgar; the three of them smiled at me. "Hey Kacey" Marks smile grew as he walked towards me. Besides him he held his guitar case. "Heeey" I say smiling at him and then to his friends. My face burned to how awkward I'm probably being right now. "Why are you alone?" Asked Ivan who was Marks best friend. "Um. Actually I’m with my friends we were going to watch a movie-" I say pointing with my thumb behind my shoulders as I turned my head to face the three of them. "Who ditched me..." I add a little disappointed. Their unexpected laughs made me turn back to them. I smiled.
"Since they ditch you, do you want to hang out with us for a while?" Mark asks as he stands beside me. I turned to face each and one of them. "Um if it’s no problem with you guys"

David snorted, "I know it’s no problem for-" he stopped there and tilted his head towards Mark. "Ooooh" both Joseph and Ivan smirked while facing to Mark.  "Do you want a drink?" Mark quickly changes the subject. I was still full from the drink earlier, but to help him out from his friends I agreed to get a drink with him. Mark and I stopped at Auntie Anne's stand. "Yo Mark! When you guys are done meet us at the food court" David yells as the three of them walk away leaving us alone. He bought me and himself a drink, "Mark you didn't have to really buy me anything you know," I say a little embarrassed taking the drink from him. "Kacey, really I don't mind. Plus I wanted to buy you one" I look away from the drink to his eyes. His smile grew wider "Come I want to show you something" He then grabs my hand and leads me. He tooked me to a specific place outside the mall where there was a huge water fountain that lights up and around it are wooden benches. It looked beautiful; tall trees surrounded the area. The sun was low and it was already getting dark, but that made outside look more stunning.

Mark and I took a bench and sat down. We were alone, never had I been this alone with him before. He then opens his case that he has been carrying the whole time and takes out a shiny wooden acoustic guitar that the lights reflected out of it. He plays a couple of notes and turns up to look at me. "Want to play?" He smiles softly strait at me. "Um...I'm pretty sure I suck at playing instruments" I give a little giggle in the end. "No problem than I can teach you" he smirks getting closer. He slides the guitar towards me. I turn my body away from his while he gently moves my hands to the right guitar position. "Ok, I will teach you just some basic notes" I hear his voice behind my ear waking up the butterflies in my stomach. He then told me where to place my fingers on the chords of the neck of the guitar, “So to hold the pick; what you’re going to do is just naturally curl your fingers” I did what he told me to do “So now touch your index finger with your thumb and under it is where your place the pick with the pointy edge out. That’s the most common way to hold a pick” I hold it as I was told to do so and place my right hand above the sound hole of the guitar. He then gently places his right hand on mine and guides my hand. “When you play you go down, than up, than down twice” I feel my cheeks get warmer. ‘Gosh, I can’t believe after a year of being strangers…we are this close together now’ He then made me play the first notes of the song by myself.

I slowly played the guitar chords not wanting to mess it up however I kept messing up on the rhythm of my hand. I knew I sucked but still turned around to face him “How was that?” I pout with a smile on my face. The corners of his mouth tilted up in a broad smile “You did great Kacey”. I couldn’t resist but to giggle “You’re such a liar Mark!” I gently hit him with my elbow and then look back to his stunning hazel eyes. Our eyes never broke apart. ‘I think this is the longest record on how long I stared into his eyes’ to that of course my cheeks felt warmer than ever. He slowly leaned forward me tilting his head as I simultaneously leaned towards his. My mind went completely blank. Our smiles faded as both our lips were only inches away. “Yo Mark, is that you?”  To that we slowly broke apart and turned to face on the direction of the voice. “Oh sorry” David chuckles a little embarrassed knowing he interrupted something. “We were looking all around for you guys” he adds. I slowly stood up with his guitar and placed it in its case. “Sorry I kind of forgot to meet you guys at the food court” Mark says also embarrassed rubbing his head. “We were just on our way” I add embarrassed as well. Mark and I turned to face each other; both of our cheeks were pink. “Yea…we were” he adds with a small smile growing.
