Day 6: today is Saturday! Me and Connor have been dating for a week now, he's happy which makes me happy and that's all I can ask for to be honest. "Do you want some watermelon?" Margo asks, yet she cuts a piece anyway. Connor was currently with me and Char at the pool, "I want a piece!" he hugs me from behind. Instantly I snuggle back into his embrace as we sit down, "Yea sure I'll take one" she passes us a piece and takes one for herself. I feel a wave of happiness wash over me when Connor kissed my forehead. Deep down inside, Austin is in my mind, do I really like Connor. Maybe I should just let time fly, but then again, what if I really don't like Connor. Breaking his heart is not my priorities, at all. Saying I love you is not even a factor yet but I can tell that he wants to tell me so bad. I love Connor, well as a brother, but now that we are dating..... do I love him as a boyfriend? A relationship is so more confusing then I thought it would be. When I see couples on TV, they have no complications. That's because they're on tv, I think to myself.
"Hey! babe I asked you a question" he shook me a little. Both my friends stare at me, friend and boyfriend. "What's wrong?" I shake my head. It's better they don't know, especially Connor. He'll get worked up and confused and stressed, I chuckled thinking about him stressed. His face turns red and his nose flares, it's adorable. They give me the glare, the 'Don't play that mess with me' glare. I hate it. I feel so guilty and it's my own thoughts, sheesh they can get annoying. "Nothing" I roll my thumbs around and around, kinda like how my head is going. Around and around.
"Come on we know you better then anyone" Margo complains. We need to change the topic before I confess... or cry. "Is somebody insulting you? I swear to god if somebody is messing with my girl-" I cut off Connor. He sure is the protective one. Ok now is my chance to leave, I break through Connor's grasp and walk inside. My house is about 30 minutes away, on foot probably an hour. "Damn friends" I mutter, walking along the highway pretty pissed off, a car comes up to me. "You need a ride beauty" a boy that I've seen in school winks at me. Well at least I know him, what can go wrong, "Sure." Yes it was dumb of me but I really felt some type if way and just wanted to get home ASAP. He smiles and unlocks the door, hopefully this will be a quick ride.
"Well beautiful hope on in- Charlotte isn't it?" his smile never leaves, Connor would kill me if he saw me get in the car with this boy. Connor's not here, "Yea and you are?" we continue to drive down the highway.
"I'm Allen" he places his hand on my leg, awkward. Slightly I push it off, "Sorry I'm taken. Oh next exit here" he's silent for a while, we turned into my neighborhood after 5 minutes. "Thanks so much Allen, I'll see you in school" he grabs my hands before I can leave. Raising my eyebrow, I tug my hand but he doesn't let go, "Let go!" I tug even harder but his grasp gets harder, so hard it hurts. "Don't you want to stay with me?" his face is inches from mine, it was highly uncomfortable. "No let me go!" my eyes pricked with tears, he pressed his body against mine somehow. His smile was now very creepy and I want slap it off his face. I shut my eyes and turn my face, "LET GO!" now the tears escape, oh god please help me, can some those annoying little boys come out and save me. I bang my head against the window, "LET GO OF ME!!!PLEASE!" he's off. He's off me, "Hey you better not touch her again. I'll have you in the hospital" Connor spat.
Oh I'm in deep shit now. Allen runs away, all the way down the street. Keeping my eye contact on the rode, I get out the car, "Thank you" I whisper. He walks right in front of me, lifts up my chin and taps my bottom a little, "What?" he's pissed off, I can tell by his facial features. Looking down again I answer shifting on my feet, "I'm sorry Connor" he wipes my cheeks then drags me into my house. We run up the steps, where he closes the door and lightly pushes me into the wall. When he he's right in front of me, he speaks softly, "So what were you doing in his car?" this boy is making me forget everything.
Minty. His breath was minty when it lightly fanned my face, "I-I..um I needed a ride to get back since you were at the pool with Margo" guilt washed over me like a tsunami. It sounds worse saying it out loud. "Mmhmm and why did you leave?" He had one arm hold me, the other was on the wall. 20 questions, haha I don't think so, not with Connor it's more like 50 questions. Maybe I should tell him, maybe I shouldn't.
"Because you and Margo were asking me so many questions and I felt uncomfortable. Look I'm sorry I got in the car with Allen. Please forgive me" I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling my famous puppy dog face. "Aww look at that face, you are so-" he cuts himself off. I smile, yes! Score one for me!
"Your slick but I forgive you" he leans down and plants a soft kiss on my lips. It fills like forever, but it wasn't and I wish it was. I have my answer now, I love Connor more then a friend.
Connors POV
That girl drives me nuts but I love her. It might freak her out to say that though, Charlotte lays next to me, close to sleep when the door bell rings. "I got it sleepy head" she chuckles but stands up, "I'm going with you, carry me?" She does the puppy face that I always give into. "You piss me off with the puppy face." She jumps on my back.
"Yea but you love me" her voice is smug.
"Yea your right" silence. Did I just say that? I'm so stupid.
"Connor," her faces is upside down now looking right at me, "I love you to"
Happy. I'm so happy
