Falling For A Hot Nerd

Ten | As we dance by the post light

Charlie's View

"So, what happened to your face?"

I suddenly speak to break the silence and he look to me.

We've been walking for like half an our, him following me, and he still hasn't speak a word. I thought his gonna be chatty as he always is when we walk with each other, but today is different. His being awfully weird, and this is no fun at all like it should be with him. Fun.

"Haven't I told you that already, have I?"
"The answer you give me earlier isn't convincing, so I wan't the real answer."
"Wow, ok smart ass."

He chuckle and I furrow my eyebrows as we stop walking to look at each other.

"Sorry for being nosy, I'm just worried about the silent treatment, and yes about you too."

He form a smirk on his face and chuckle again. I felt my face get hot by his cuteness so I bow down to his feet. I just suddenly felt my chin lift up, and I look directly to his twinkling eyes.

"I got punch by your asshole."

I stay silent as I try to recognize, then lour when I realize that its Matthew.

"I'm sorry but why?" I ask so eager.

"Haven't I told you that already? Basketball drama. The game got heated and physical so he shoots out his temper and punch me." He explains.

"Off all the people,why you?" I ask again, still eager.

"Dunno." He shrugs, and he began to walk again and I follow.

I felt the wind blow pass my legs and I freeze, shivering from the cold. I sniff and I rub my arms through my body to help it warm.

"Need a hand?" Dylan notice and he took off his jacket and hand it to me.

I smile and I nod. "Yes, thank you."

I start to put my body into his jacket and it goes about my upper knee.

"I hate having this uniform to wear everyday, it's just the skirt is so tiny." I groan and I saw him grin.

"I don't know about that. Its perfect for me." He smirks

"Perv."

He chuckles and I roll my eyes on the other direction. I spotted Omel's from a far, so I poke him to get his attention.

"There we go, let's go inside before you turn into an ice cube."

I nod like a bubble head and we got inside. We sit by the table near the entrance, as we casually wait for the waiter that is Romel apparently.

"Hey you guys, another date night?"

Romel beam to me and I shake my head, slightly blushing. Dylan hit him by his stomach and he chuckles, pulling out his notepad.

"Well then, what are you having?"
"Two plates of waffles and a slice of blueberry pie. Oh, and can you have me a coco? I love it, I'm addicted."

I groan in happiness and Romel laughs as he begin to write down.

"Thank you, another good feed back for my business, gladly appreciated."
"You're welcome." I smile at him as he did to me.

"You?" Romel points at Dylan using his pen and he nods his head.

"The usual. A slice of apple pie and a cup of coffee."
"Ok, two waffles, blueberry pie, apple pie, a cup of coffee, and a coco."

He repeated the orders then he winks on me. I smile at him, feeling the thrill inside my stomach. The guys nod to each and Romel left after that.

The food get on afterwards, and as soon as the food landed in front of me, I devoured it with all my might, enduring the savory.

After spending some time eating, and chatting with Dylan and Romel, its finally time to go. And it is darker outside than before. I waved goodbye at Romel from the diners door, and he waved back smiling at me. Then he look at Dylan and nod to him before we start to head home.

"So, do want me walk you home?"

I nod and I walk in a faster pace.

"Wait," he shouts, grabbing me by my arm and I look down to his hand as it find its way to interwind with mine.

"Here, to warm you up."

I felt my blood shoots up my face and I felt extra hotter than I need to escape from the cold, and that weird thing inside my stomach occur again. He smiles at me, as he begin to walk again not letting go of my hand.

I tried my best to concentrate with the walking, figuring out how to stop my racing heart from beating, but it just won't so give up. 

"Late night walks are amazing."

He speak and I look up to him, finding him looking above the night sky. I look to the stars, and I smile as I get mesmerize by the beauty of the stars.

"It is." I honestly say and we look down to each other.

Dylan took his time to look at my face, and I try not to look unpretty, because who would like seeing an awkward looking frog? Ok, I'm not good at making puns so forgive me.

He stop on walking, and I did to,never letting him off my eyes. He lift up his hands to touch my face and I close my eyes when I felt his cold hand.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes when he notice and I shake my head.

"Don't worry about it." I smile as I say.

He rub his thumb against my lower lip, and I quiver, feeling the goosebumps. He smiles at me, then he leans his forehead on mine. I close my eyes, as his hands lands to my waist, and I involuntarily put my arms around his neck. I felt his breathe  when he sighs, and I felt him smirk.

He sways to the left, then right and I realize we are dancing in silence. I hug him tight, and I felt his hand rest on my back. Then, I felt that thing on my gut again, tottaly liking it this time. My mind suddenly think of a good classical piano music as we dance by the post light, and it feels fantastic.

"Charlie?" He whispers.

"Hmm?"
"I think I'm having a crush on you?"

I open my eyes and look at hand with both curiosity and shock, and maybe delight as well.

"What?"
"I have a crush on you."

I chuckle by his adorably confused look and I shake my head. Getting the thrill even better.

"You have a crush on me? What are we twelve?"
"I'm serious though."

I nod and I rest my forehead against his.

"Ok, you can have crush on me. I will allow it."
"Are you sure?"
"Uhmm, I figured your not as bad I thought."
"Thanks."

He sighs and get me into a hug that I replied.

"So, will you go out on a date with me now?"

I pull out and I look at him with narrowing eyes.

"You sneaky son of a bitch."
"What? I was trying, the timing is perfect."

I nod in agreement as I wrap my arms around his and start walking.

"Maybe." I wink at him.

"Just maybe?"
"Don't bother, at least you got a maybe. Its better than a no."
"Make sense."

I smile when he nods, and I lean my head on his shoulders. And I felt him kiss my head, and my smile widens.

Ohh, I have crush too, but he don't know about it. And I'm that brave to tell him. Sad. :(
