A Stranger Changed The Rest Of Her Life

Nine

I sqwint my eyes as a split of light shines in them. I slowly sit up and flutter my eyes trying to adjust to the blinding light. I sit up on the couch to realize I was alone. I wonder were tal went?  Did he not feel comfortable? Did he not wanna be around me?  OMG my heart began to beat too fast. I didn't think this was humanly possible. I stand up fast getting slightly light headed and race to the kitchen.

I turn the corner and run into tal as he is flipping a pancake. I wrap my arms around his muscular body . He seems quite shocked for a second and then relaxs and hugs me back.
" Morning cookie monster." he whispers into my ear. Which makes my heart skip a beat.
" Morning fishy! " I begin to laugh hysterically at my own joke. He just glares at me.
" Thats not nice, cookie monster." he says while grinning. Like he won the fight. Even though It wasn't even a fight.
" Neither is smelling like fish. Fishman. " I say with a straight face. Then he turns to face me and throws me over his shoulder. Walks to the lounge room and drops me on the couch.

"You asked for it cookie monster! "
He better not. NO. He stared at me with an evil grin and smirking. Does he even know that I'm ticklish?

He began tickling me. I couldn't help but laugh and scream and try to get him away. But I couldn't. It felt like he was tickling me forever. But then suddenly he stopped and walked to the kitchen. Like nothing even happened . WHAT THE HELL. 

He came back a few minutes later with nutella pancakes. Aw he can turn from mean too cute so fast. He sits down next to me and passes me to yummy looking pancakes. I was so into these pancakes I didn't even notice him staring at me smiling.

" You know,  you are such a creep, tal fishman. "
" Creep is my middle name. "
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

A few hours after...
Tal decided he should probably go home. We just watched movies and cuddled . Today was such a good day. I walk him too the door and slowly open it because, I don't want him too go.
"Hey tomorrow night. Do you want to stay over? "I began to studder . Great.

"yeah sounds good, cookie monster! " he squeals with a high pitch.

I try not to burst into laughter but that was too difficult. As I calmed down he walked up closer to me. My heart began to start freaking out. He stared at my eyes and I just stared at him. With all the green sparkles in his eyes. He leaned in so our faces were only inches apart. Is he gonna kiss me??

The moment was ruined by my phone ringing. It was Anthony. I don't answer and put my phone back into my pocket .

" Sorry, Anthony was wondering where you were."
" Yeah I should probably get going. "
I wrap my arms around him. This time he isn't as startled. He hugs me back tight. I love his hugs. They just ugh. They make me just melt. And he smells so damn good. How does smell that good all the time.

He let's me go after a while.
" Good night.  Hayley."
He walks over and gives me a kiss on the cheek and whispers
" cookie monster. "

Even though I hated him calling me that.  It still made my whole body lite up and it felt like there wasn't butterflies, it felt like a whole god damn Zoo. And I could feel my cheeks burning up. When he breathed on my skin.

Which he think is hilarious because he starts laughing. I think he can see that I'm a tomato now. Great. I smile back at him once he's calmed down a bit.
" Good night tal. "

He turned around slowly while smiling and he stood at his car and waved with a smirk on his face and a hint of light from the street lights hit the crystals in his eyes and made them sparkle. OMG that just made my heart miss a beat for some reason. Ugh why does he have to be so damn cute all the time. I'm so fan girling right now....

I just watched him as got in his car. And drove around the corner where I couldn't see him anymore.

I realized I couldn't wipe that smile off my face until I finally dozed off.
