Love Is Strong

Chapter 10

Adaieh P.O.V.

Finally we made it Sarah's house! We should've came here first then went to the park. Would've been so much easier now that I think about it.

"Just wait here." Sarah motioned me to stay in the driveway.

"You don't want me to come in?" Not that I'm complaining, I'm really tired of walking.

"If my mom sees you then we're gonna be here till dinner. I wanna get the shopping part done believe it or not. Plus I gotta find my keys."

"Gotcha. I'll stay here while you go inside." I motioned her to go on.

It's been about 5 minutes since Sarah went in to look for her keys. She must have hid them and forgot where she put them. That's why you suppose to bring them with you but Sarah doesn't believe that. She's says 'What's the point of bringing your car keys if you don't have your car?' Well then Ms. Smarty pants, what's the point of having a car if you're not gonna drive yourself, or others, to school?

"Hey Adaieh."

You have got to be kidding me. How did he know I'll be here? Is he like following me? No Adaieh he can just be passing by.

I wiped the confused look off my face and approached Derek with the most forceful smile I could ever advantage in my life. Yeah he's cute but he's also... strange.

"Hey Derek. Wow. Weird seeing you here." I shielded the sun from my eyes.

"Haha. I know right. You probably think I'm a stalker or something, huh? "

I forced a chuckled.

"What? A stalker? No. I'm pretty sure you're going somewhere and just happened to stumble across me."

"Correct. That's exactly what it is. Wow you're really smart. I like that in girls." He had a small smile on his face.

I know why. He practicality said that he likes me... and that I'm smart. But besides that, he just said that he likes me.

"Well I guess it's a good thing that I'm smart then, huh?"

"In this case it is."

Once again I had nothing to say. I really wish Sarah would come already. Maybe her momma is talking to her. In that case, I'm stuck in awkward silence with him.

It's cool Adaieh, you got this. Just make it not awkward. Sounds easy.

"Soo, wearing anything special tonight?"

As soon as I processed the words that were actually coming out of my mouth, I couldn't stop them. It's like one of those answer-without-thinking type of questions. I didn't think about what I was going to say. Now I wanna take them back.

"Unfortunately no, I'm not. I'm just gonna wear my regular clothes. What about you? Anything uh," He winked. "special tonight."

"Well I don't know about special but Sarah's dragging me to get some clothes." I shrugged.

"You don't like to shop?"

"No. Well it's not like a hobby or something. I'll only go if it's needed, and needed as in like my clothes don't fit me anymore, not the I need a new outfit everyday kind of needed. I'm not like that. I don't dress to impress. If you like me than you like me for me. Plus when I buy stuff I at least buy some things a size bigger so I won't come back to the mall. Unless those clothes, the clothes that are bigger then my normal size, get too small. And as in bigger I don't mean like bigger, maybe a half-a-size to a whole size bigger. Not that my size is already big. I'm not that big, am I? Don't answer that question cause I wouldn't care. Mainly because I don't care about what people think of me and plus you just said that you like girls that are smart and I'm pretty sure I'm smart cause if I wasn't then I wouldn't be in the 12th grade. Which reminds me that my birthday's on Sunday-okay I should stop talking. I'm getting on a whole nother topic. So yeah, to answer your question, no not really. " Why didn't I stop talking after I said no?
