When Crossing The Tracks-Sweet Pea

74 - life as we know it

"Why do you think was my so concerned earlier when he called?" I said in a quiet voice, trying my hardest to not disturb the silence and peaceful content that settled in the room, a complete opposite to what the atmosphere was like just a few minutes ago - heavy and heated. "I don't know" Sweet Pea answered, his hand rubbing over my back soothingly as we laid under the sheets, skin to skin. "When I asked if everything was okay he said yes. So I don't understand what that call was about" I said and started playing with the rings on his fingers, playing with his hand, comparing his to my small one. "How did you do on your exams?" I asked "I didn't look at the results yet" he said and I looked up at him "Why?" I asked "I was too nervous" he shrugged. I reached over to my night stand and grabbed his phone "Lila no, don't. I probably did horrible" he said. I quickly searched for the e-mail and opened it, checking for the final scores. I heard Sweet Pea sigh and groan "You did above average on everything, a near perfect math score too" I smiled at him "What? No way, there must be a mistake" he said and grabbed his phone from my hands "I should e-mail them back for a double check" he said "Don't be like that, they didn't make any mistakes. You did so good, Sweets, I'm so proud of you" I said, laying back down on his chest and pressing a kiss to his skin.

I fell asleep last night with the same feeling I had this morning, when I woke up – complete content. Mornings like this, that seem straight out of a '#couplegoals' post on tumblr, gave me all the feels. And when you're in the kitchen and your boyfriend comes up behind you, wraps his arms around you and gives you a sweet kiss, you just feel like you're floating "Morning baby" he said in a deep voice "Morning" I said and turned around to face him, holding his biceps as I got on my tiptoes to kiss him again "I have to go home and change before school" he said and I nodded "I'll be back later to take you to school" he said and put on his leather jacket "I love you" I called after him. Sweet Pea shot me a smile over his shoulder before leaving. I went to check if my dad was at home or not but when I knocked on his bedroom door, there wasn't a response nor was his car parked on the driveway. I even tried calling his phone but it went straight to voice mail. There's no way something happened to him, so why isn't he at least answering? While getting ready for school I waited for him to get back home but he didn't. "My dad's not home yet" I said as I got into the 1970's pickup truck Sweet Pea has been driving lately "How come?" Sweet Pea asked "I don't know, he's not even answering. I keep thinking about last night when he called, completely frantic, asking if I was safe and if the door is locked and if I'm with you or not" I said. The weather outside was so bad, the sky was dark and gloomy, clouds were angry and heavy with rain and the wind caused the temperature to drop even lower. Sweet Pea pulled up at school but he didn't bother to drive to the parking lot "You're parking on the side of the street?" I asked confused while undoing my seat belt "No, I'm just dropping you off" he waited to answer only after I got out "Wait, what?" I asked "I'll come later, I'm going to check on Luke" he said. I sighed and got up on the side step of the large vehicle, leaning my elbows on the seat and stealing a kiss from my boyfriend "Don't do that, they'll see your ass" Sweet Pea said "Maybe I like that" I said "Don't you even dare" he pointed a finger at me and I rolled my eyes "I was just kidding" I said and hopped off, closing the door. I made sure to stop by my locker before hurrying to class "Morning" I said as I took a seat in front of Moose "Hey Alvez, how's it going" he said "It's going" I shot him a smile "Hey, can you help me a little before class? I didn't study much for the test" he said and I turned around in my seat "Alright, but we only have 15 minutes" I said "Just basic stuff, enough so I pass" he shrugged and I nodded "I memorize stuff easier like this" he said and I proceeded to tell him a few things. Pop quiz was over in 20 minutes and when I looked back at Moose, he shot me a wink, guess he did good. "Alright, open your books on page 107" the teacher said and that's what I did. I noticed a piece of paper picked between the pages with the same writing on it as the ones in my locker "What the...." I mumbled "Something to share with the class miss Alvez?" the teacher spoke "No" I said and folded the paper, tucking it away in my bag. I'm so done with these stupid notes, who's even sending them? I don't even think it's worth mentioning to anyone, it's probably just someone who doesn't like my face or something.
