The Corner Cafe [Connor Ball]

Chapter Eight

-Connor's POV-

"You."

Oh God, did I just say that out loud?

I looked around the room, the boys looked shocked and impressed, smirking slightly.

Kylie staring at me with disbelieve, making me frown.

"I-I..." I feel my face heating up, as I hid my face with both my hands.

"Wow." I heard Kylie whisper, I looked up at her and see her smiling down at her hands, blushing too.

"We'll leave for you two to talk." the boys walked out of the room, and I can hear them walking up the stairs, probably into the bedroom or something.

"Wow." Kylie said again, smiling slightly.

"I-I d-didn't me-mean to t-tell you t-this way, I'm s-sorry." I apologised embarrassingly, expecting her to just leave but instead, she giggled.

I looked at her shockingly, "what?" she asked.

"You don't hate me?" I messed with my hair, what have I just gotten myself into?

Again, she chuckled. "Why would I?" she paused, "I'm just shocked, you know?"

I nodded, agreeing with her cause I even shocked myself from saying that.

"Why do you wanna kiss me? I'm not special."

-Kylie's POV-

I stared at Connor, waiting for an answer.

He took a deep breathe, and looked into my eyes lovingly. "I like you because you're pretty, not only outside but inside too. You've friendly, kind, funny, but can be sarcasm when you want to. I love how you're always so cheerful and optimistic, how your eyes light up whenever you laugh or smile, you could probably wear a paper bag and I would still think you look gorgeous. Before I met you, I never understood what's so special about love at first sight, but the moment I saw you in the cafe, I finally understand the meaning of it. To me, you're special. I know you've got insecurities but those little things make you who you are."

He smiled at me shyly, but I couldn't reply back because flashbacks from the past started appearing in my mind.

"I've just ruined everything, did I?" Connor asked sadly a minute or two later. I sighed, I've told myself I would focus on my job and stuff, and won't get a boyfriend until I'm ready because I don't want to end up with a broken heart again.

"I-I'm sorry." I whispered as he stared at me, worried. "I can't."

I grabbed all my belongings and left the house, with tears streaming down my face. I know this won't be the end of this whole situation, because I've became so close to the boys. I know I'll have to deal with this sooner or later, but it's too much for me to deal with in one day.

I took my phone out and texted James.

To: Jems

I needa leave, help me tell Connor I'm sorry...

From: Jems

It's alright Ky, take your time... I'm sure he'll be fine soon :)

To: Jems

Maybe I shouldn't have walked away without giving him an actual reply...

From: Jems

Don't worry, we can tell he really likes you... Just think about giving him a chance :)

To: Jems

Just give me sometime...

I sighed. Do I like Connor the way he likes me? He's cute, but shy at the same time. But from what I've seen, he's a really nice guy and he doesn't act like a player nor a jerk.

Should I give him a chance?
