My eyes flutter open but quickly shut as the light hits my eyes, I groan as I slip out of bed. Geez my head is pounding
When did I get to my mothers room?
I open the door when I find stuff at my feet, I pick up Advil and water I begin smiling because Lauren was nice enough to leave me this before? Wait she was supposed to sleepover where is she sleeping.
I walk in all of the bedrooms upstairs. No one so I walk downstairs and find that it's clean. Like super clean, everything is back to normal making me think the party didn't even happened and it was all a dream. My dreams are smashed when I find will on the couch
"Will?" I whisper
He instantly wakes up and smiles at me
Wait
He and Alexa?
I groan as i take a sip of my water
"Got my Advil and water huh?" He smiles again making me melt
He gave it to me? I can't help but turn to mush and once I walk into the kitchen I gasp.
No
No
"Yes" he says I quickly turn and groan
"Damnt, What was I thinking!" I throw my hands to my side and roll my eyes
"Drunk minds are kind of wild when your mad" he states
"Mad?" I question
"Yeah about Alexa and I" he says as he grabs juice from the fridge
He knows I like him
Damn
"I know we shouldn't have been in your room, and I'm sorry about your bed but we didn't do anything i promise. We just kissed. Which by the way was a mistake" he lightly says before putting the juice back in the fridge
Oh. He doesn't know he's just dumb
"Oh okay" I say before spilling the rest of my water down the drain
"And I washed your sheets so don't worry, "Satan spawns" body is washed off" he begins laughing
"Thanks, where's sully?" I ask him
"Home"
"And thanks for staying"
"Somebody has to keep butterfly alive" he chuckles before patting me on the shoulder
After about a few more glances he finally says something
"Let's go for breakfast" he drops his glass in the sink and grabs my hand
"I'm not even dressed and I-"
"Let's go" he says
I roll my eyes and slip on my shoes, I walk to his car and try to open it but it's locked.
"Will it's locked" I say as he sits in his car and turns it on
What is he doing?
He begins backing out leaving me stunned where I am
He stops and throws his head out of the window
"You coming butterfly?" He chuckles
I walk over to his car again and it opens, I sit down and stare right at him giving him my best What the heck face.
"I'm sorry I just HAD to" he throws his hands up as he rests one on my hand
"It's fine but for that your paying for breakfast!" I say as I buckle my seatbelt in
"I was already anyways" he doesn't seem fazed but instead he's smiling
I couldn't help but feel what's feeling inside of me, those stupid butterflies always inside of me
"What's wrong butterfly?" He questions
I look up and shake out of it
"Nothing"
Of course he calls me by butterfly and not my actual name Stella, but I guess I kind of love it. Our thing
"So I have to give you a nickname huh" I say before throwing my hand to my face as I think
"Wilexa?" I say before chuckling
"Wilexa?-" he huffs before shaking his head
"No, never." He says before staring back at the road
"It's cute" I say questionably
"Yeah, you seem soo sureee"
We stop at the cutest breakfast restaurant in our town and when I realize this is the corner where I first laid eyes on him, he noticed obviously because I accidentally tripped. The nice guy he was he came to help me up..... after laughing at me of course.
This was a year ago...
2 months before everything turned trash... but I'm in a happier place and I know she will always be with me.
"Earth to butterfly?" Will says before I whip my head toward him
"Sorry just thinking" I say before stepping out
We walk to the door, I go for the handle but he beats me to it letting me walk in first. I stare at him as I pass him, his gorgeous minty scent clings to my nose as I continue my way inside.
"Will!" An old lady says before kissing him on his cheek
"Okay, nona I'm here with my friend st- butterfly" he says before letting go of his grandmother
"So this is Stella huh?" She says as she throws her hands on her hips
"Yes" I say as I hold my hand out for her to grab, instead she pulls me in for a hug and kisses my cheek before leaving.
"Sorry my nona is kind of-"
"Sweet" I say before walking to the front desk
"Follow me" he grabs my hand and leads me with him, leaving me confused
"What about the-"
The restaurant is called little Hollingsworth
This is his families restaurant??
"Wait is this-"
"My families restaurant... yes" he says as he still holds my hand through a bunch of guests and cute little white tables.
Finally we set on a table that is by the window making the garden inside shine gorgeously
"Here" he pulls out the chair and tucks me in
After about 20 minutes he comes out with plates, full of food leaving me to wonder if he went back there and cooked?
"So I cooked, bacon,eggs,hash browns, pancakes and waffles, with a side of fruit and whip cream of course." I stare wide eyed at him as he rests the food on the table, he eventually brings ketchup, and syrup
"You cooked this?" I question him hoping he would say no, because I don't think I could make food look this good.
"Yes, my families are cooks why wouldn't I be too?" He says before smiling as he sits down
We sit at the table talking about school, family, friends and everything we hate or don't hate, things we love and things we would want to do with our lives making me crumble on his gorgeous black tile floor..
