Taming Sawyer (editing)

Chapter 19

Peyton's POV

I was getting ready for my date with Sawyer. He had left early that morning while I was asleep. He left a note on my nightstand telling me the details of our date tonight.

Good morning, Sweetheart

I left early so I could make sure your parents wouldn't come in. Plus, I also had to get home before Anna found out and so I could get ready for school. But besides that, I did it for you. I know we don't have any classes together today, and I'm skipping lunch to take care of somethings. I'll see you tonight, 'babe'.

-Your favorite person ever

Just thinking about his note makes me roll my eyes. He always knew how to make me laugh. Take my mind off life for a while. We both needed each other, but for different reasons. We changed one another, and I couldn't be happier for him to show me a better side of me and him.

I let my hair air dry since it has a natural curl, and started on my makeup. All this did was make me think of last night when I let Vikki do my makeup. Sawyer said he liked it, I wonder what he would do if I recreated it for our date. The thought made me giggle at myself. I settled on wearing a tinted moisturizer, filled in my eyebrows lightly, bronzy cheeks for definition, a little highlight on my cheekbones, mascara, and topped it off with my strawberry chapstick. I kept all the products at a minimal to have a natural look. I left the bathroom and picked out my outfit. I decided on my black off the shoulder bodysuit, brown skater skirt, and black strappy flats. After I threw them on, my phone rang. I picked it up without looking at the caller i.d.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Hey, gorgeous" I instantly smile realizing its Sawyer. "I'm here. I went around your yard to find a latter. I'm going to set it against your window,"

"Okay," I hung up and grabbed my jacket. I headed to window and saw the latter with Sawyer at the bottom. "You better hold it," I laughed.

"I won't let you fall," he showed me a smile as I threw my leg over the window pane onto the first step. I tried my best not to flash him my underwear. I should have thought this through. I got to where I was fully outside, I closed my window and continued down. I was a few steps from the ground, then suddenly my foot skipped a step and I fell. I let out a scream and waited to hit the hard ground below me. That was until I felt arms wrap around me and hold me up. "Now this cliché moment is blamed on you,"

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes playfully and straighten myself and pulled out of his arms. As I collected myself, I looked at Sawyer's attire. He was dressed in a black button up shirt, black jeans, and all black vans. It was simple, yet so attractive. I could see his built stomach under the thin material of his shirt, it lightly clung around his arms to show his muscles. His hair seemed to have had more effort than usual.

"You done checking me out, sweetheart," I moved my gaze to meet his eyes to see him smirking.

I was blushing like crazy. I hope he can't see it in the dim lighting from the streetlamp. "You look so handsome,"

"My girl looks a thousand times better," he bent down and kissed my lips, soft and gently.

I pulled away and smiled up at him, "We should get going before my parents hear us out here,"

He held my hand as he led me to his car. He parked a couple doors down so my parents would hear his car outside. He opened the door for me and got in. As we drove down the road, he held my hand and hummed to the music that was lightly playing.

"I'm so happy I got you," I quickly turned my head from the window to him. He was looking at me sincerely.

I moved my hand up so I could bring his hand to my lip, I placed a small kiss on his knuckles. "I'm lucky to have you,"
