I Fell For You (Cethany)

seven

Connor's POV

It was about 3am and I was just staring at the ceiling gathering my thoughts. A lot of stuff happened today.

I got up to use the bathroom and bumped into Beth. Literally bumped into her. 

"Oops sorry." She said while her head is down. 

"Are you okay?" I asked because she didn't seem right. 

"Yeah I just have a headache." She answered while sitting down at her kitchen table.

I looked outside and it was still raining. Which is odd because it doesn't really rain in California.

"Do you need anything?" I asked because she didn't look good. 

"No, I'm fine " She answered with her pointer finger and thumb rubbing her temples. 

I decided to pull out a chair and sit with her.

"Really? I can get you anything." I said just to be really assured. 

"A hug?" She asked giggling. 

"Come here." I said picking her up and spinning her. 

She giggled. Her giggle was life. 

I brought her down and kissed her forehead. That's what my mom did to me when I had headaches when I was a kid. But it didn't really help. 

"You're a dork." 

"Oh and you're not?" 

"Lets go to taco bell." I said waiting for her reaction. 

"At 3am?" She asked. 

"Well duh." I said.

"Can you go and just pick something up for me?" She asked pouting. 

"Only because you're cute." 

I walked out the door and realized that this could be a time to gather my thoughts.

Maybe should ask her out soon. I mean I think she likes me and I know I like her. I mean she's everything a guy could want. 

I was pulling up o the taco bell when I remembered that this was the one Beth and I went to that one night.

I told the little machine thingy they have our orders. (Me trying to be descriptive.) 

I then pulled up to that one window, payed, and then grabbed our food. 

Walking up the stairs of Beth's apartment building I heard screaming coming from Beth. I unlocked the door with a key Beth gave me and saw her on the couch with her head in her hands. That would be the second time tonight. 

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked. 

Beth's POV

My dad just called me and I thought it would be 'fun lets catch up call.' But then I remembered that it was like 3:30 in the morning. 

Turns out he was calling me to tell me he saw my newest video and that he doesn't want a boy livivng in a house with me. 

"Not until you're married Beth." 

That wasen't the problem. 

The problem was that he didn't hear me out and let me explain that he's only here because of this storm. He then got angry calling me all these things I didn't believe I was. 

"You're a screw up Beth."

My dad and I were never close but I thought that maybe one day that we would overcome those stupid arguments we had through middle school. 

He took it to far be calling me a screw up. I normally don't care what people say to me but hearing someone I'm close to tell me that, I don't know it's just different.

I was currently crying on my couch hoping Connor wouldn't walk in anytime soon.

Just as I was thinking that Connor walked in. Great.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked setting the food down on my coffee table. 

"No." I admitted. It felt good to actually admit that I was no longer okay. 

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Was he the only male figure I had left?

"Am I not allowed too?" 

"You're allowed it's just, you usually have a reason." 

"Do you think I'm a screw up Connor?" I asked in between sobs. 

"What no. Why would you ask that?" 

"My dad seems to think so." I said calming down because the feeling from my dad wasn't mutual to Connor. 

"You're amazing though." (Copyright to bethersforever)

"Really?" I asked. I was truly surprised. 

"The most amazing person I know." 

Right now we were in the same position we were earlier when we were watching movies on the couch. 

When he almost kissed me.

He was staring into my eyes and I was doing the same.

He leaned in again and did the forehead thing again. 

I didn't wanna wasted much time so I quickly, but not to quick, closed the gap. 

It seemed like I've been waiting forever for this moment.

We both pulled away and looked at each other. 

"It was worth the wait." He whispered and then kissed me again. 

I pulled away. 

"Definitely"

My phone then rang. I checked the caller ID. 

'Dad' I contemplated it and then shut my phone off. 

He's done enough damage. 

I laid down on the couch and Connor came with me. 

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight? Last time I checked there is still taco bell to be eaten on my kitchen table." I giggled. 

"Yeah. That." He said scratching the back of his head shyly which I thought was cute. 

"I didn't know what you wanted so I got you one of everything." He answered because I was staring at my kitchen table in awe. 

"You're adorable." I said hugging him. 

I ate a lot because why not. 

It was like 5am by the time we were done eating and poking at each other. 

"I can go home later." Connor said. I was kinda sad because I liked having him around. Its really lonely here when he's not here.

"Why so glum?" 

"I like having you around. You and all your dorkiness." I giggled. 

"I'll stay another week." He said trying to sound mad sarcastically. 

"Really?" I asked. If this is a joke its sick. 

"Really." He said grabbing my hand from across the table.

"I mean, I guess I kinda like you." I said sarcastically. 

"Uh ew." He said also sarcastically. 

"You're sassy." 

"Oh I know. "
