Love Found

Chapter 4 : Picture perfect day

Drew's POV

Beautiful

Breathtaki-

Wait, where was I?

Oh yes, here I am with my face inches away from her. I quickly released my hands from her waist. I probably need to step back a bit...shall I? I force my feet to take a step back... one tiny little step back.

"Give me that." Why is my voice so murderous?...why can't I take my eyes off of her lips?

"Give him your lips, Mitch!"

"Mitch? Really, Andrew? Why can't it be me?" said Nick. "Oh Andrew, Andrew, wherefore art thou my Andrew..." and he was off saying witty lines.

I gulped as I tried to ignore various mocking from our group. This is not what I expected.

"What?" Mitch's voice brought me to my senses. I shifted my eyes to hers.

"I-I...said..." Drawing a deep breath,"I said give me my picture back...please." She stared at me for a brief second then she gave me my picture. "Thanks."

I turned my back on them as I stare on the picture. A tiny smile crept on my face as I remember the reason why I wore that Barbie shorts. Memories flood on my mind.

FLASHBACK - 10 YEARS AGO - November 3

It was 4 days before Mitchelle Pierce's 7th birthday. Her parents, Miranda and Jayson Pierce, organized a swimming party and they invited every kid on the neighborhood. Little Prince Andrew Adams was in their backyard playing ball with his best buddy, 7 year old Mark Roberts, and their princess, Mitchelle Pierce.

"Hey Mark..." Tiny Mitchelle Pierce blushed furiously. "Would you teach me how to ride a bike?"

"Sure, my princess." Mark smiled at her. They went to the empty driveway and Mark started teaching her how to ride a bike. Andrew looked longingly at them as he sat down on the grass. Mitchelle always asks Mark for something. He was her hero, her prince and Andrew wanted that part.

"Mark...I'm having a party on my birthday...would you go? Please?"

"Of course, anything for you my little princess. Auntie Jess bought me pokemon shorts for swimming."

"Pokemon...?" Considering her next words very carefully, she said," Oh you'll look good in it." Smiling at him. Andrew raised his head. He knows that Mitch never liked Pokemon...although, he also know that Mitch likes Mark to a hundred degrees more than her indifference for Pikachu and friends. He need to make a plan that will impress Mitchelle all the more. Nothing can ever go wrong with Barbie.

PRESENT DAY

I can't stop shaking my head in disbelief. I never thought that I put too much effort just to impress a girl who never looked at me...never considered me. Just think of the embarrassment caused by those Barbie shorts. It was a hell lot of nightmares for me. When I walked in to the party, everyone laughed at me...even her. I quickly rush back to my house which is a few blocks away. I tore the shorts away from me and quickly changed into something decent. My mother found me crying on the corner

Once I placed the picture back on my album, I followed them inside Grey's. Bea and Alicia were ordering food. As I sit beside Lea, I caught Mitch's eyes quickly flitted to us before looking away.

"Hey guys, our parents is in Germany for a business trip...so me and Bea will be alone for a couple of weeks...and we were planning on inviting you on a sleepover tonight? If it would be alright?" Lea said. "Well, I'm sure its a yes and it would be good if all of you are there by eight o' clock."
