The Corner Cafe [Connor Ball]

Chapter Thirty-Nine

-Kylie's POV-

"Babe, please forgive me, I'm sorry." Connor begged, tugging my hand.

James and Nicole walked into the flat first, knowing that Connor and I needed some private time to talk about the issue that just happened 10 minutes ago. I just hope they won't mess up my bed, if you know what I mean...

Call me stingy but he needs to understand that I'm not gonna just pretend that I didn't see him and his ex girlfriend who cheated on him flirt around.

He sighed, "I know you're worried that I'm gonna get back with Diana but I promise you I would never do that. I love you, not her."

I turned around and looked at him in the eye, "Con, you should know that I trust you. I just don't trust her."

He nodded, probably knowing why I've said that. He never mentioned anything about his past relationships to me while I told him everything. I am disappointed, not only because of him, but also disappointed in myself because I've never actually made an effort or have the courage to ask him about it.

Maybe this is the right time to ask him about it.

"Connor?" I asked and he nodded, urging me to continue. "It's just... You know everything about my past relationships, but I know nothing about yours. Don't you think it's time for you to tell me about it?"

Again, he sighed. He didn't answer me right away, letting me know that he's thinking about it. After a minute or two, he finally finished thinking and asked me to open the door. "It's a long story," he said, "might as well sit down with a cup of tea while I explain."

When we entered the apartment, Nicole and James were cuddling on the sofa while watching the television. Connor cleared his throat and both of their heads snapped where we're standing. Nicole jumped out of James' arms and James frowned but didn't say anything.

"James, I'm gonna explain to Kylie about what happened between me and Diana. I was thinking, maybe you could help me? Since, you know, she did try to flirt with you guys behind my back." James nodded. "Nicole, you're welcomed to stay and listen too."

Connor and James sat on the floor with their legs crossed while Nicole and I sat on the sofa, waiting for the boys to start explaining.

"Two years ago, I was still in school and haven't joined The Vamps yet. Diana was one of my classmates, but we've never talked. I was always that shy guy who loves music while she's the popular girl who has everything she wants. She was my first official crush. She was so nice and friendly to everyone, and she was just, gorgeous." My heart clenched when Connor said she was gorgeous.

"About two months after I joined the band, Diana suddenly started chatting with me on Facebook. I was so happy that she finally noticed that I exist. After a few weeks of chatting and getting to know her, I confessed my feelings to her. And surprisingly, she told me she feels the same." If Connor isn't my boyfriend or if he's only retelling someone else's story, I would've thought that this was another cliche love story.

"Dating Diana was like a dream come true to me that time. You know, dating the popular girl who you've had feelings for ever since you first saw her. After dating for a few weeks, she suggested me to introduce her to the other three boys, saying that I should let her meet my three best friends; and me being so love struck and listening to all her orders, said yes and introduced her to the band the next day."

Connor looked at James and he nodded, James started to speak. "As I've said to you two earlier this evening, when we all first met her, she was so nice and friendly, and we thought she was the one for Connor; but a few weeks later, she started to flirt with the other three of us behind Connor's back. Of course we told Connor about it, but he thinks we're just jealous because she's with him and not us."

James sighed and Connor continued. "A few weeks passed and our band was becoming more famous on YouTube, so we've decided to go to the bar to celebrate, even though James and Tristan were the only ones that could actually drink alcoholic drinks." he chuckled slightly, "Then the four of us caught her cheating with some guy in the bar. They were making out and dry humping on the dance floor, and I broke up with her immediately. She called me back the next day, saying what happened the night before was a mistake blah blah blah but I've finally had enough and told her we are never ever getting back together. Then she just disappeared. No calls, no texts, no letters. Nothing."

"I was so hurt. I really thought that she was the one. But I was so stupid. After all this time, I finally realised that she only said hi to me on Facebook because I joined the band and she's probably just planning to use me for the fame and attention; and also to try and flirt with the other three boys. I should've believed the three of you when you guys told me she's been flirting with you. I really am sorry." Connor said, his face full of hurt and pain.

"Connor, it's not your fault. You've apologised so many times after she disappeared and we've forgiven you the minute you broke up with her because we know you've finally made the right choice." James said and the two of them hugged.

When they let go of each other and turned to face us again, Nicole was speechless and I was... Crying?

"Princess, why are you crying?" Connor jumped up from the floor and pulled me into his safe arms, rocking me back and forth.

"I know that feeling babe, I really do." I whispered before hiding my face in his chest, soaking his shirt up with my tears.

♡♡♡♡♡ ♡♡♡♡♡

I feel myself being lifted in someone's arms. I slowly opened my eyes, and coming in contact with Connor's chest.

"Shh princess, go back to sleep." he whispered when he realised that I've woken up. He placed me on my bed gently.

I looked down and realised that I'm now wearing my pyjamas instead of the dress I wore on the date today.

"Did you...?" I asked Connor, motioning to my outfit. He blushed and shook his head as I sighed in relief.

"Nicole changed you just now." he said and pulled the covers over my body. "She just left a few minutes ago with James, saying she'll let you have some personal space tonight."

He pecked my lips softly before standing up again, about to leave when I pulled his hand. He turned around and looked at me with confusion written on his face.

"Stay with me." I whispered and he smiled before taking off his shirt, revealing his toned chest and abs. He then started to take off his pants and that was when I turned around with a crimson coloured face.

He laughed and then I felt the bed dip beside me before a pair a of arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. The warmth of his body makes me feel so comfortable and safe.

I turned around to face him again, his bright blue eyes filled with love and happiness.

"I thought you were the shy one in the relationship." I teased and he stared at me, amused.

"Looks like the roles have been reversed, my love. Now, go to sleep."

I gave him a slow, romantic kiss on the lips, "I love you so, so much. Good night."

"I love you too. Good night Kylie."
