The Bad Boy's Girl Valentine's day One shot

TBBGOneShot

Valentine's day had never been a day of celebration for me, if anything, it had always made me miserable. Mostly because I would always see couples being cute everywhere and their public display of affection would make me question why I'd even left my room on that day. And then also because at that time, I thought I loved Jay and wanted us to be like all those cheesy couples doing cheesy stuff. Seeing him with Nicole always had me bawling my eyes out. Now in hindsight I know how silly I'd been and that what I felt for Jay was nowhere near love.

This year though, I know things are going to be different. Firstly because I'm no longer that miserable little girl. Now I also have a boyfriend and it was said boyfriend that has changed my life for the better. Just having someone to celebrate this day is nice enough, but for me it means much more. Because I'm madly in love with Cole. Like the true, head over heels kind of love and not the idea I used to have of love. My feelings for him aren't even comparable to those I had for Jay.  

I haven't told him yet though. It's too early for the L- word and I'm afraid I'd scare him. Baby steps, that's what we need. I'd still haven't been able to wrap my head around the fact that someone like Cole would fall for someone like me and the dating thing is still new to me. But I couldn't be happier. That boy is like my own personal sunshine. He just has an aura that makes me feel like the happiest girl in the world when I'm around him.

I'm kind of annoyed that I still have to go to school, but that annoyance is nothing compared to the thrill I feel at the thought of meeting Cole. Saying I'm excited would be an understatement. I had woken up an hour earlier to get ready and that in itself says a lot. I'm wearing a fitted white dress with lace detailing and my hair is in loose curls. I'm more of a jeans and a t-shirt kind of person, but today I wanted to go with a soft and romantic look, without looking like I tried too much. So far I seem to have managed just fine. I finish the look off with just some mascara as I don't want to go overboard.

I'm just finishing my granola bar in the kitchen when I hear Cole's car pull up in our driveway. I rush out the door, my heart beating much faster than it's supposed to.
Calm down Tessa. You don't want to fall on your butt in front of the guy. That would just be so sexy, right?

When Cole sees me, the look on his face tells me it was definitely worth the hour of sleep I sacrificed. Taking him in, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. How was it possible to look this good? But then again, it's Cole Stone we're talking about. The smile he gives me almost has me falling to his feet, but instead I throw myself at him. He's a little taken aback, but he recovers quickly as he tightens his arms around me.

"You look beautiful, Shortcake." He whispers in my ear before giving me a soft kiss on my neck, making me shiver.
I want to tell him how good he looks himself, but instead I just kiss him sweetly. Once inside the car, he pulls a bag and a huge bouquet of red roses from the backseat and gives them to me.
"Happy Valentine's day, Tessie." I think I see him blush a little as he rubs the back of his neck. He's so damn adorable. It'll take time before I get used to this side of him. The sweet and shy side.
"Happy Valentine's day to you too Cole." I say, hugging him. His familiar scent invades my senses and I inhale deeply, hoping I don't creep him out.
After a few minutes we pull back and I look in the bag. And I squeal when I see it's filled with kit kats. Cole is a godsend. He just made my day. No wait, he just made my whole week.

"I've got something else too but that's for later." He says while starting the car.
We have a plan after school though he wouldn't tell me what. I had already told him I didn't want to go to any fancy restaurants and he didn't question it. He knew about my preferences and my discomfort in places that had too many people.

"But why?You really didn't have to, I mean these are more than enough." I say, showing the chocolates and the flowers. What more could a girl ask for?
"It's just a little something, babe. Besides, let me spoil you today. I've always thought about being with you on this day and it's the first time I'm getting to actually live that dream." He says with a smirk. What do you even say to that?
