L-O-V-E

Forgive and Forget

Chapter 8

Dalton's POV

"Get off of me!" I screamed at the red headed 'beauty' of the 11th grade. I was freaking out and my phone was going off constantly. I was getting so worried.

I looked up and saw Emilia standing there with a tear stained face just before she ran off.

I screamed, "Emilia wait!" But I was too late. She had already slammed the door.

"Adelyn, get out of my house! You ruined everything!"

"She wasn't even worth it. She has stolen everything from me since 7th grade. Who got homecoming queen 7th and 8th grade? Her. Who got the solo in choir that year? Her. Who was middle school cheer captain? She was. Who made the team in 9th grade? She did, and I didn't! Who was the most popular girl in 10th grade? She was. And who is first ever junior to be cheer captain this year? She is!" Adelyn screamed and ran out of the door.

I cursed under my breath at her jealousy. Em is beautiful inside and out, and Adelyn will be humiliated for this.

Em, Adelyn was throwing herself at me. She is nothing to me. Come back please.

I realized I had a tear roll down my cheek when I sent this to her.

*2 Hours Later*

She never did reply. If you were wondering. I tried and tried to talk to her but she avoided my calls and texts all night. Tomorrow is the first football game and the football players have to find a cheerleader date to go to dinner with after the game. Great.

Emilia's POV

He cheated on me. Or he played with my mind, considering we weren't 'boyfriend and girlfriend'. And with Adelyn? Really. He had texted me last night a bunch but he didn't get any replies and he won't, not until I see him face to face.

I made my way up the school's steps and there he was frowning at me.

"Do you want to talk?" I questioned him.

"I promise you. I didn't do anything she was trying to kiss me and throw herself at me for the past hour before you had walked in. But, I assure you. She never succeeded. I really like you, only you. And I hope you forgive me and be my cheerleader date." He really did look sad, even when he forced himself to smile at the last part.

I hesitated. "Strike one. And if you are in on this 'relationship', prove it."

"Will you, Emilia Nicole Rogers, officially make it official and be my girlfriend?" Dalton asked patiently and kissed my hand.

I laughed and said,"I trust you. Yes, but remember don't get to strike three. We wouldn't want that to happen would we?" I smirked even though I was dead serious.

He smiled and laughed. "Of course, shall we call it a forgive and forget?"

Forgive and forget. I can sure forgive, but can I forget?

"See you tonight at the game." I blew him a kiss and ran off smirking.

Dalton's POV

I was so relieved and even when she is dead serious and sassy, she is gorgeous. When she blew me a kiss, I instantly wanted a kiss. We have been 'dating' for two weeks, yet I haven't kissed her yet. I will make sure it happens tonight.

Emilia's POV

I was sweaty and tired and absolutely gross. I haven't talked to Adelyn and don't plan on it at all. What can I say, that ginger has no soul.

3...2...1...*ehhhhhhhhh* The horn and buzzer both went off and the crowd went wild as we got up into our pyramid and chanted, 'Goooo Sharrkssss Goooo!'

After I got down and ran to my car, I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist from behind. My first instinct was to yelp, so I did, but the person covered my mouth.

"Chill babe. It's just me." I heard Dalton's voice from behind. My heart melted at his voice. He spun me around and kissed me. I kissed back surprised at his actions but happy. I smiled into the kiss and I felt my knees going weak. We both pulled apart breathless, and all he said was, "Wow. You are amazing."

We walked off and soon went to celebrate the victory. 52-45. He brought me home and I smiled when he left. I can't get enough, and he kissed me.

L-O-V-E is what that spark is maybe. I don't know, but I am willing to find out.
