I Guess Dreams Can Come True

Part Two <3

"Thaaaanks... You too I guess, but that's not what I was going to ask you." I dragged out.

"Oh, sorry, you're just so beautiful I couldn't help but-" he said in his deep, beautiful voice again before I cut him off.

"But MOCK me?" I said, sounding a bit annoyed.

He laughed a bit, then I grabbed my bag and a few new comics and starting head towards the front of the store to pay again, he followed right behind without me noticing somehow.

"Is this all you'll be getting today, Kate?" James asked me.

"Yeah, that-" and I was cut off by someone tapping me on the shoulder.

I spun around only to see the boy from the comic book shelf earlier with a half smile right on his face.

"I... I uhm... I was wondering...." He scratched the back of his neck. "I was wondering if you would like to meet up some place with me today or tomorrow something..." He said nervously.

"MEET you later? Are you kidding? I just met you, and you've already started stalking me, and now you want to MEET somewhere with you?" I said quite rudely.

I didn't mean to be rude, it's just that... I didn't want him to like me, I didn't want to disappoint him like I do to everyone else too. He stood there for a second then reached across the counter and slipped a small piece of paper into my comic, then left. I spun back around to pay for my things and go somewhere else, maybe the library to read for a bit, then go home, they were probably gone by now, at a bar or something. James gave me a look of 'are you kidding me, I really can't even believe you right now'.

"Hey, I don't need your crap too..." I said to James.

He shook his head and handed me my comics after I paid. I walked out to my car and and sat in my seat for a second, wondering exactly what had just gone on, then I remembered the small paper he gave me in my comic. I grabbed my bag from the back seat and took out the comic I thought he put the paper into. I flipped through the pages until the paper fluttered out into my lap. I tossed my comic into the passenger seat and read the paper, it had his name on it, I rolled my eyes.

"Of course..."

Then I blushed.... why was I blushing? I don't like this boy, I don't, I have a boyfriend anyway... And that's the of it. I drive home, and I'm surprised I even stayed on the road because all I could think about was what had happened at the shop. I pulled into my driveway and stuffed my comics in my bag. Just as I was getting out of the car I looked up to see my boyfriends car In my driveway.

"Not again..." I sighed. "Haven't I dealt with him enough?"

I walked straight inside to see him sitting on the couch in the living room, but as soon as I closed the door he walked right over to me, then I felt it. His knuckles right across the side of my face, and it stung, I stumbled back and grabbed the side of my face.

"I'm sorry!" I yelled in a pathetic voice.

"Why did you go out without telling me, stupid?! Who were you with?!" He yelled at me while I was crying against the wall.

"I'm sorry! I forgot, I just went to th-"

And I stopped to look behind me to see my night in shining armor in my doorway.
