A Stranger Changed The Rest Of Her Life

Seventeen

" You look amazing Hayley ." he whispers into my ear as he grabs my hand. 
I can't help but blush. The things he does to me just ugh. Kills me.

I stop and close the door behind me. Then he leads me to his car. He opens the door for me.

" Thank you. But, I am an independent woman I can open door by myself. " I spit out while hoping in the car.

He leans over the door.
" Not when your with me. I won't let you. "

" We will see about that!" I snap back.

In the car...
I'm just staring at him while he is concentrating on the road . He looks really hot concentrating because he sticks his tounge which is kinda funny too.

" How does it look? " he smiles..
" What look??" I am completely confused.
" The view. " he shoots back.
" Yeah the rocks out side are interesting. "  I fire back.

He just shakes his head laughing.

Finish car drive..
I quickly swing the door open before he could get around. He shakes his head.

" That's going to be the first and last time! " he yells from the other side.
" That's what you think! " I yell back.

I run up to him. We standing pretty close. I just wrap my arms around his muscular body. He is a little tense but then loosens up. And hugs me back tight . Which I love his hugs.

I grab his hand a lead him into the bowling alley. We walk around the corner and spot our group.

" Hey you two! " Anthony screams.

" Hey. " we both answer.
For some reason Tal looks really nervous and squeezes my hand 

I look at him and scrunch my eye brows . He just gives me a some kind of worried / confused look.

Everyone else went and grabbed their shoes. Tal starts walking with him. I stop he does too because,  we are still holding hands.

He turns around but he is still looking at the ground. Then I guide him back outside and we both sit down on a bench outside.

" Tal. What's wrong? " I say softly to him because, he looks delicate.

" Um well,  I know this probably will sound stupid. " he mumbles.

" nothing you say to me will sound stupid. " I answer quite quickly.
He just looks up and smiles.

We both just sit there staring into each others eyes.

" Thanks Hayley. " he mumbles .
" Well,  since I asked you out , u said yes, we are hanging out everyday. I've been just trying to figure out. If.... "
I look up at him.
" Figure out what... " I am hesitating because I am worried about what he is about to say to me.

" I am trying to figure out if you like me in that way or not."  I hesitates.

I cuff my hands around his perfect jaw and lift his head up so we are looking into each others eyes.

" Hey. I'm going to be straight out honest. I like you more than I have ever liked anyone. And I literally can't wait till we can go out on that date. " I lean in and give him a kiss on the cheek and smile.

I see a smile appear on his face and his turn red which is so cute.

" I can't wait either. " he mumbles back.

I smile and hug him tightly. I definitely don't want to let go. But I do and I stand up and put my hand out.
" Come on ." I demand.

He smiles and grabs my hand. We walk back inside to the others.

They haven't started yet thank god. We walk and get our shoe sizes.

" IM WINNING! " Anthony screams.

" We just started!" Georgia fires back.

" So!?" Anthony yells back.
We all burst into laughter.

Tal leans over to me. Which makes me tingle inside.

" Can I take you out somewhere tonight? " he whispers so only I can hear him. He's smiling. Which is just adorable.
I smile back and nod. I grab his hand and stand up. He follows.

I walk over to the food court. We get some food. And sit down we are not really interested in bowling. So we just sit there and talk for a while. About a bit of deep stuff. He told me about he got into a massive fight with Adi and pushed Adi and Adi broke his arm when they were younger and he almost cried telling me. I stand up and give him a tight squeeze.

" Tal it wasn't your fault.  Why are you telling me this now? "

" Well , Anthony asked him have his broken a bone and he said his arm and looked at me. So memories came caving in. Sorry for dumping it on you. "

" Don't be sorry. I am always here."
He pulls me in for another squeeze which I don't mind comforting him.

We walk back to the group. They have almost finished their game.

" Want to come back to mine? " Micheal asks everyone smiling.

Everyone says yes but me and Tal.

Tal whispers in my ear.
" We can go there instead if you really want." he looked disappointed. But, I just wanted to go with Tal.

" Sorry, me and Tal are going out tonight. Another time?"
I say smiling at Tal .

" Wait!  As in date?? " Anthony yells in a high pitched voice.

I giggled. And nod slowly.

They all just look at me amazed. I look at Tal he is just smiling at me with a red face but I can't talk so is mine. Everyone else started talking again. Thank god they were all just staring. Which made me a little scared and really nervous.
