Chapter 5 - Cute pizza delivery guy

Chapter 5 – Cute pizza delivery guy

A/N hey guys sorry I decided to update this again. I started to write chapter 6 but I couldn't remember so I went back to chapter 5 and I made a few changes. Its manly the same but I have just tweaked it a bit for example the way Maisie explains her feelings. Hope you enjoy!

Maisie's POV

After we had eaten the pancakes we went back upstairs and watched Netflix. Me and Connor were laying on my double bed with my laptop sitting between us watching American Horror Story. Sometimes we would talk about what was happening but then we would go off topic and talk about something else. We had gotten quite deep in conversation and were talking about family.

Connor was currently speaking about how his dad cheated on his mum with his personal secretary when he was 15. "I haven't seen my dad since I found out. I remember when I found out I went to my dad's office to ask if it was true knowing full well it was. I was so angry I stormed in and asked him, he just looked down and said 'I'm not going to deny it, yes son I did'. After I told him what I thought of him I walked out and went back home to my mum and sister. To this day she still doesn't know I went to see him." He told me "Oh Connor I'm so sorry that happened to you" I couldn't imagine what he was feeling and I didn't really how to comfort him. I was never good with comforting others.

"Anyways enough about me I want to hear about your family and I have to ask, why is there hardly any pictures frames around here?" he asked me. I didn't really know where to start. "Um... well my parents are always on business trips or working down in London so I never get to see them. As for the pictures there are a few but they are only of special occasions... um well because that's when I usually see them properly." I shrug not knowing what else to say to him.

He didn't say anything he just pulled me into a hug. It felt so nice to hug him and to just be in someone's arms. It wasn't like we were hugging because he felt sad for me, it felt more like we were hugging to comfort each other because we were both hurting even though it was different pain.

After this morning I really don't know what box to put Connor in, do I put him in the keep pile or not? I feel stuck between 3 voices one is Jasmin who just keeps warning me that trusting Connor is a mistake, the part of me that tells me to stay away from Connor and the part which tells me to believe what I want to believe. The truth is I don't know what to believe, Jasmin says he is a player and how he is not to be trusted but I think I am starting to really like him and I just don't know what to do.

He agreed with me that we need to get to know each other and he wouldn't do that if he just wanted to fuck and be done with me. He wouldn't play me, would he? Well I really don't know because I haven't even known him 24 hours yet so yes Maisie it is possible that he is playing you I thought to myself. Arhh fuck it this hug feels right!

His phone buzzed on my bedside table showing he had a text. He sighed and pulled away from our hug and turned to pick his phone up. I watched as Connor quickly read the text and started replying, he then stood up off the bed and slid his phone in his back pocket.

"I should get going before my mum sees I'm not home, she probably thinks I'm still asleep." He chucked to himself. "Okay dokey." I stood up too and followed him to my window. "Thanks for the pancakes though I will message you later yeah?" he said looking at me like he was asking for permission. "Okay." I smiled.

After he had left I shut the window and dived on my bed laying there for a few minutes. This is the time I usually facetime Jasmin but she got quite drunk last night and she probably won't answer. Picking up my phone I rang her anyway and waited patiently until her face popped up.

"Good morning!" I raised my voice excitedly getting just a groan in response from her. "It's that bad huh?" I asked she just pulled the covers over her head and quietly said "Uh huh".

"Well... Jas I have to tell you something are you listening?" I questioned. She pulled her duvet down a bit showing a bit of her face indicating to me she was listening. "Last night when I went to get a drink I bumped into Connor Jones and we went outside and ...well... we kissed." I blurted out the last bit out fast.

Jasmin sat up "You what? Oww my head!" she quickly grabbed her head. "Wait that isn't all of it, I woke up and found out he is my neighbour!" I add "Really?" she asks "Yes no joke!" I answer.

"Wow." She looks about her room and then back to me "You like him don't you?" she asks "Yeah I think I do. And I know you said he is a player and everything but I will be careful and I think he may like me too. But I only met him yesterday so it may not work." I try and reason with her. "Well I know you Maisie Anderson and nothing I can say or do is going to change your mind or stop you from liking him, but I'm still to be convinced that he isn't going to hurt you." She says "So is that a no to going shopping for a cute outfit to wear for my first day on Monday?" I say "No I can never say no to a bit of retail therapy. And as I am best friend it's my job to help you get the guy and look great while doing it." She smiles

*******

Me and Jasmin were sitting in Costa. I had a bit a mission on my hands getting Jasmin out of bed. She is currently on her second coffee and bottle of water. I said I would buy lunch if she got up and ready to which she agreed and got in the shower.

I was wearing high waisted black jeans and a white shirt with my black leather converse. Jasmin was wearing black high waisted jeans too but she had a grey crop top on with a black jacket and her rose gold adidas superstars. She was still feeling rough so she kept on her sunglasses even though we were inside.

We had done a bit more shopping than I thought we would, I was only planning to get an outfit or two not a big bag or two. Jas on the other hand had gone overboard buying anything and everything that caught her eye, but that is just her.

"So what do you say to pizza and movies at mine tonight?" I ask looking hopeful towards her. "Yeah sounds good let's go!" she responds. We stand and pick up all of our bags and head to the car park.

"That must be him!" I get up to go over to the front door to collect our pizza from the dominoes delivery guy. I open the door and instantly smell our order. The dominoes guy is tall and has chocolate brown hair short on sides longer on top hairstyle and brown eyes to match. The more I stared at him the cuter he got you know what I mean there was just something about him. He actually looked a bit like Connor...oh that's what the something is. He handed me our food "That will be £34.96 please." He asks politely. I handed him two £20 notes "Keep the change!" "Thank you, enjoy" "Bye"

I shut the door and turn around and find Jasmin had followed her nose to the food. "Did they get the diet Coke?" she asks "Yep, here take it" I nudge her to take it as I feel my fingers about to break.

I follow her into the living room and press play on our movie. It took us ages to agree on a movie but we finally decided on to Rome with Love.  I was just about to bite into my pizza when my phone buzzes.

I finish my slice then turn to pick it up. Connor. My stomach fills with butterflies.

Connor: Hey gorgeous x

"Is that Connor?" Jasmin says slowly trying to look over my shoulder. "Yep" I answer trying to also reply to Connor. "Wait what are you doing?" she raises her voice "I'm replying to him what does it look like I'm doing?" I question. "You can't reply straight away it looks like you have been waiting for him to message him!" she explains "So you want me to ignore him?" I ask confused. "Yep" she nods definite. I shrug and put my phone down.

My phone buzzes again.

Connor: Oi I know you have got my message answer me x

I look at Jasmin and pout at her. "No! not yet wait!" she says pushing my arm away from my phone.

Connor: Maisie? X :(

I pick my phone up and feel bad "I have waited long enough!" I state being impatient earning a sigh of defeat from Jasmin.

Me: Hey how was your day? X

A/N: I updated again!  This has been a pain to write because I forgot to save it so I had to do it again but I think I made it better even tho it took forever. Anyway hope you like it.
