She Gets What She Wants [Watty's 2016-2018]

Chapter 54

"Are we going to do some reading?" I joke staring out of the front windows of his car. We're in the school's library's parking lot creepily watching the librarians put books away.

"Green Eggs and Ham?" he plays along.

"Hope your printer's not broken" I say, reminding him of when I helped him with his printing situation that one day.

He looks over at me and smiles like a child, teeth and everything. I turn more towards him as his mouth opens to speak.

"This was the place where you made your move on me" he smirks but there's a slight blush to his cheeks like he expects his comment to back fire on him instead of making him seem smooth.

"So, I guess it's your turn to make a move on me huh?" I wink but then again that could also backfire on me. He blushes even harder and clears his throat a little.

"I should," he says taking a deep breath and grabbing one of my hands. I raise an eyebrow because I have no clue what could be on his mind. When I said he should make a move I was feeling like there's something off.

Stop overreacting!

"I really like you" he says which is something I know already.

Calm down girl don't let it get to your head!

"I like you too" I say liking the way his hand feels holding mine. It's comforting while I wait for him to spit out whatever it is he's trying to tell me.

"And I like how we can finally hang out but..." he takes another deep breath. I hope he doesn't forget he's supposed to exhale too. All this inhaling is gonna have oxygen running to his brain and risking him fainting or something.

"Yah?" I smile to let him know he can keep going.

"Mmm...maybe I shouldn't be asking you this here, you know? A library parking lot isn't really romantic is it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe I should wait for a better time or a better place?"

Don't back out now boy!

"Well we're already here so might as well make the move you've been mulling over in your mind?" I coax.

"You're right," and he takes a visible gulp and holds my gaze.

"Jasmine?"

"Yes?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Derek's POV (holy cheezits!)

"You sure this is enough?" I ask Hailey again. She'd been cool enough to help me out with this. I'd thought about just going with the usual chocolates and roses that girls seem to like. But I felt Jasmine deserved more.

"If she doesn't she could always dump you?" She says.

"Funny" I reply.

It was Valentine's Day and I didn't want Jasmine to feel like every other girlfriend with the same kind of gifts.

Hailey knew her longer than me and seemed to have some ideas to help me out. But now that it was actually going into effect, I had my doubts.

Maybe she'd think I was being cheap?

"Whatever worries you've got? Just let them go. I'm sure Jasmine will appreciate whatever you do for her."

I hold the phone closer against my ear and think over what she's saying. She's right. I'm just too into my head but I can't help it.
