All I Ever Wanna Be (Connor Ball fanfic)

Ch 14: Stars and sky

"I love you.."

I heard a voice saying these words softly. It was dark but the voice seemed familiar.

Maybe i was only dreaming.

I opened my eyes and rolled over to the other side of the bed tapping the cold bed sheets but no one was there. I was so cold due to the airconditioner turned on at a very low temperature overnight. I got the thinner bed sheet and wrapped it around myself from my back as I got out of the room. It smelled pancakes from the kitchen. I went there and saw a Connor Ball cooking. I walked over to him quietly as his back faced me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face on his back. He was a lot taller than me.

"Goodmorning beautiful" he said as he turned around to face me, kissing my temple.

"I didnt know you cook" I said, looking at the pancake mix he just put on the pan.

"Just pancakes and hotdogs."

"I'm impressed" I sarcastically said.

"By the way, Brad picked Lia up this morning."

"Im glad they've made up."

"Charla.." he said softly. My arms still wrapped around his waist and his arms around mine. There's something about the way he says my name and I like it.

"Hmm?"

"I'll take you out tonight." he smiled.

"Arent you gonna ask me first?" I narrowed my eyebrows.

"Nope. Youre going out with me tonight Charla... well not really out but you'll see"

"I have no choice dont I? Connor you silly!"

"Yeah you dont" he teased.

"Connor.." I said softly. I started drawing circles on his bare chest as I looked down at his upper body thinking damn, this boy got the body. He doesnt have the body like those six pack abs or whatever but he has a firm one.

"Yes?"

"Pancake's burning!" I shouted as I smelled something burning. We both ended up laughing.

Connor's POV

"Which one?" Charla asked as she held up three dresses. I took her shopping for a dress she could wear tonight.

"All of them looks nice, love" I told her I didnt want to see het fit them so I could thrill myself on seeing how she looks

"But I cant decide" she pouted.

"I like that black one best actually." I smiled. It was a simple black dress, a bustier dress as what they say they call it, with a cage-like back straps, fit down the waist then flowy down the bottom and reaches until above the knee.

"You look...very beautiful" I was lost for words as I opened the door to Charla's flat as I picked her up. She looked simple yet stunning. With the dress I bought her, her brown wavy hair flowing down her back and shoulders, and almost bare face. I believe she only put on foundation and lip tint. She doesnt put on too much make up and I like it. She also wore black chelsea boots.

"Thanks." she replied shyly. "You look nice as well" I think I looked pretty decent with my black skinny jeans, soft denim long sleeves and black Docs.

We stepped out of their flat and turned her around. "Wear this for a while" I said as I put a blindfold over her eyes.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere magical...just kidding. You'll see"

Charla's POV

Connor took my blindfold off and I realized we were in their flat block's rooftoop. It sure was magical. There was a pile of comforters laid on the floor, with a lot of pillows, Christmas-like lights on the few spots around the place and a tall standing lamp with glitters and shiny stuff inside which causes the place to look galaxy-like really magical. On one side there was also a dining table with the food and a few candles. With Connor still buying me a dress for tonight, I thought we were going in a formal dining restaurant but I thought wrong. This idea was beyond better. I loved it.

"This is...amazing and magical and....beautiful. I love it, Con!" I stutter for words with the beauty of the place and then hugged Connor.

"So are you." he winked. "Shall we eat?"

Connor led me to the table and we had our dinner. He said he talked to the owner of the block and we were allowed to sleep overnight there. God, the things he does for me. How could you not fall for this guy? Wait, have I really actually completely let myself fall again?

"Connor Ball.." I said as we were lying down on the comforters. I liked saying his full name, well, semi full name.

"Yes, Charla Thompson?"

"I love it here. Thank you...for everything." Everything. It has only been around two weeks but he has made me feel really special.

"I would do everything just to make you happy." his reply made me feel tomato red. We were silent for a while as we just gazed at the sky.

"It's so beautiful. The stars and sky. Its like, without the stars, the night sky would look boring, and without the darkness, stars cant shine. They're like meant for each other..." I tilted my head to my right and saw him staring at me, smiling. I blushed instantly. He was still smiling. "I said look up..see!"

"Nothing is as beautiful to me as you." he said, still smiling. "But if you can be my star, I can be your sky."

I observed his face. Damn that perfect looking face, staring down at me. I loved how his eyes wrinkle whenever he smiles. I loved the way he looks at me. I loved the way he talks and how I can feel his breath. I loved how he ran his thumb through my cheek while he stares.

He leaned closer to me, stared into my eyes. "Charla.." his soft voice let out.

"Connor.." I managed to say, as I was lost in the moment to still speak, but his name was an exception. The name stuck in my head.

"Charla I---" he sighed then bit his lip. "Charla Alexandria Thompson, I love you." he lightly smiled as he finished.

"Connor...I'm.. Con.." I was  completely lost for words. Hearing those words from him made me feel shivers down my whole body. I could feel my cheeks burning red. I had to get my shit together. "Connor Samuel John Ball, I love you too" I smiled.

He smiled back and our lips met. He was lying on his side with his left elbow resting on the ground while his right hand on my cheek. Our kiss got more passionate and I felt Connor pull me into him causing me to crash above him. My hand played with his hair while the other on resting on his chest. His hands travelled from my cheek to the back of my neck, while the other one on my back, playing with the straps of my dress. I felt his tongue asking for an entrance from my lips and they instantly allowed. Our tongue played. Then I felt Connor bite my lip and I thought of doing the same.

"I love you" we said in unison when we parted from the kiss.

I laid back beside him and rested my head on his chest.

"Goodnight, love." he said then kissed my forehead.

I took a last look of the sky before I closed my eyes, thinking I really hope we're like stars and sky, I pray.
