Shadows

14.

'you literally have been kissed by one of the hottest guys in the school, and now asked on a date by the hot new guy in a month' My sister exclaimed and I got red,

'I know'.

'officially jealous' she said in a sing-song tone.

'shut up, you look like an angel so you shouldn't worry about guys not liking you' I scoffed and now she got red.

'I hate compliments' she mumbled in her hands that where hiding her face.

'that's why I like giving them Bel' I said and walked to my closed.

What am I going to wear?

'what did he tell you to wear?' Bella stood behind me.

'fancy' I mumbled as I grabbed a black dress.

'to casual' Bella stated.

'babe, how are going to help me' I turned around to Bella 'you literally go to school in sweatpants'

'I'm string to help you sis' Bella defended herself

'sit on my bed and be there for mental support. Thank you'

She did as I asked. I finally decided that I am going to wear a black turtle neck sweater with a green velvet skirt and heels. I curled my hair and put on some make up. Lastly I added some jewelry before walking own stairs.

'what's the occasion?' my mom asked, satisfied by my look.

'I have a date' I smiled and looked over at the clock, it was 5 to 3 so I had a bit of time.

'really?' my mom nodded, again satisfied by the fact that I have a date.

'yes, but don't stand behind me when he's picking me up because that will make him awkward' I told her and she laughed.

'okay hone, I won't do that'.

I waited a bit before the bell rang, I walked to the hallway. Grabbed my black winter coat and opened the door.

Peter had on one of those fancy pants and a white blouse, Jesus fucking Christ he was hot.

'hello miss date' he smirked and gave me the rose he was holding.

'ahw' I mumbled as I smelled the rose 'look at you being all romantic'

'I know' he chuckled as I closed the door behind me.

We walked to his car, he opened my door as a true gentlemen. This was already perfect.

'so where are we going?' I asked when Peter started driving.

'we are going to the parc' he told me and I chuckled. 'what?'.

'you asked me if I liked walks in the parc, so I'm guessing that's what we're doing' I looked at him

'god dammit' he cursed under his breath 'I should have thought about that'

'don't worry' I laughed at his reaction 'I love these kinds of dates'.

When we arrived at the parc he opened my door again and I stepped out. He put his arm out for me to hook mine in, which I of course did.

We started walking to the fountain where, you guessed it, kids where playing.

'I love this fountain' I mumbled as I looked at one kid dancing around it.

'I get why?' Peter told me 'it'd always surrounded with kids, yet it's peaceful'

'exactly' I exclaimed.

We kept talking small talk until we reached a bench in the middle on trees, the view was on the lake.

'let's sit' Peter said and I nodded. we sat on the bench and Peter pulled out cupcakes and hot chocolate form behind the bench.

'cupcakes and hot chocolate' I chuckled

'just as you told me' he smirked back and gave me one of each.

For a minute we stared at the lake. It wasn't moving, it had a greyish color, it actually wasn't that beautiful. it was actually kind of ugly.

'tell me a story, Chrissy' peter took a bite form his cupcake. I turned to look at him waiting on him to correct himself.

'can you please tell me a story, Chrissy?' he chuckled

'of course I would Peter' I said and looked back at the lake.

'and not one you made up, no one from your life' Peter said, I thought for a second but then had one.

'I remember when I was about 6 and my sister was I think 7 or 8. Our parents took us on a trip, they didn't tell us where. If they would do this now I would ask their ears off the whole road long but then.. Bella and I spend the whole 5 hour drive trying to figure out where we where going on the board. Because we where very young and couldn't read the board that fast we never discovered until we reached our hotel. They took us to Disney land. I remember being very happy at first but then I was like disappointed in myself that I couldn't figure out where we were going' I chuckled and looked down.

'that night, Bella came to my bed and cuddled me trying to calm me down. I can still whisper her "I love you" In my ear. And even though it was so small I never forget that.'

I looked back at Peter, he was staring at the lake. He didn't seem to listen but he chuckled and smiled which proved otherwise.

'I guess I found out them what sisters are meant for. I mean I have said countless times "I love you" to her and she has said "I love you" countless times to me before'

He let out a dry laugh 'we used to live next to Disney land, I don't think it's that beautiful anymore. I mean I like it but when you go so much it takes the magic away you know?..' he looked at me.

Okay, party pooper.

'sure' I frowned, why did he say that?

Loose the thought Chrissy, it meant nothing. you shared you memory and he shared his. What's the big deal?

I shook my head to loose the thought. We kept talking until it was 6 and I needed to go home. Peter brought me home and even walked me to my door.

'I really liked today' he smiled and is smiled back,

'thank you, it was an amazing date'.

I wanted to walk away but he put his hands on my arm and leaned in.

Okay?

His lips then touched mine. he kissed me and I kissed back but it wasn't like I'm used to. It was harsh and it almost hurt.

I pulled away and awkwardly let out a laugh,

'see you Monday'.
