THE BROKEN BOY *On Hold *

*Asking Her Out*

Chapter 9

Jackson P.O.V

I was lucky that Amira had given me other chance. I will prove to her that I deserve her even if it kills me, I just won't let her close enough to my heart to hurt me. I like her and this bad boy rep I have going on here  just isn't working anymore. This isn't me, I wasn't a bad boy am a hopeless romantic.

Even thought the hurt I feel hasn't left me yet I want to try moving on, even though I still think about Emma and I still love her I knew that for sure but I need to move on from her but how do I do that when I am still so fucking broken beyond repair! I am going to try to move on from this I need to move on.

I spent the rest of my weekend think about what I almost did to Amira and my guilt was eating me alive, even though Amira had forgiven me, I still felt shitty.  I need to feel us!

I arrived at my English class too early, I sat there in silence for half on hour as my thoughts consume me. I thought about Amira and how to move forward. I sat in my seat in silence watching as the class slowly fill up with students. Our professor waltz in minutes later and started her class. I scan the room looking for Amira but she wasn't here. I was a little worried, that she might have dropped her English class to avoid me but then I heard the door to the lecture room open and she came in. I watch her has  she talked to our professor and her nodded and found the only available seat beside me.  I suddenly felt nervous. I looked over to her as she sat beside me taking stuff out her bag pack.

"Good morning Amira " I said to her and she look at me but lower her eyes. Her face expression was blankly has she turn to focus at the teacher, she didn't even answer me or acknowledged my present. So fucking rude!

The class was finally over and I wanted to ask Amira what's up with her ignoring me? But as soon as the class wat dismiss and packed her shit a rush for the door. I quickly packed up my stuff and ran after her. Calling her name.

" Amira " I called after her as she walked very quickly out the door. I finally catch up to her and she slowed  down.

"Yeah" she said coolly

"Why are you not talking to me Amira?" I asked her and she looked as me confusedly.

" I am just not in the mood today Jackson " she told me.

"Do you hate me for what I tried to do to you" I asked her. I would hate me too if I was her.

"No Jackson I don't hate you, am just going through some stuff" she said with tears in her eyes.

"You can talk to me Amira, I will listen." I told her and she stop in her tracks and causing me to bump in to her.

"Oh, I am sorry it's my fault" I apologise to her and she nodded.

"You wouldn't understand" she told me  bluntly. I shook my head saying yes.

"Try me" I said simply.

She only stood in front of me staring at the ground. "I need to try to be nice to her" I thought to myself but how?

"Would you like to go out with me?" I asked her before I could even think it through. She looked at me in shock but slowly nodded her head to say yes.

"Your serious!" I asked her in shock that she would go out with me after I treated her so badly, I was expecting her to say hell no,  I never thought she would actually say yes.

"Yeah why not! Friends can go out, it's not like it's a date!" She stated and I felt my heart sink, I wanted it to be a date. I didn't want to be just friends hanging out. I can't let her friend zone me I am going to make her mine.

"Okay" I said coolly. We exchange numbers and when our separate ways. "This is a date no way I am letting her friend zone me!" I thought to myself while heading to my next class.

-------------------
I finally got home after a long day and Amira was on my mind she is all I think about these days. I real like her and I all most blow it. That night we kissed something went off inside me like fireworks . I was lost in thought while Chris went on and on about some girl but I wasn't interested all I was interested in was my girl.  Then on idea came to me, I needed to know about Amira. They are best friends after all so he most know something about what she likes.

" Dude, can  I ask you some question?" I asked Chris, I needed the low-down and Amira I wanted her to be mine. I only had one question abd that was about Amira dream date I needed to know what she wanted or have on idea. He nodded and I started talking, I needed to butter him up first so he wanted spill the beans about his firend.

" I really like Amira but she is trying to friend zone me" I told him and he looked confused, so I continued
" what does she like in a guy? And what's her ideal date?" I ask him. He only smirk.

"She is not trying to  friend is zone you dude, I know her ,if she was she would have done it  long ago. Actually she likes you a lot like really likes you" he told me and a smile lit up my face and my heart rate increase a little she likes me!

"As for her dream date, think romantic Jackson, she is a sucker for cute little things and you have nothing to worry  about just keep be you." He told me and I made a permanent note of it in  head.

He kept on giving me little advice and I made note of ever little important details. Her told me I she message her and tell her that I want a date not to hangout as friends. I quickly reach for my phone to message my sweet Amira. Chris only grin at me like on idiot.

Me: Amira, I don't want to go out has just friends. Please give me a chance, I want to take you on a date!

I sat nervously waiting for her to text back as soon as I heard my phone ping, I quickly pick it up and read her message.

Sweet Amira: I thought you said you didn't date or do relationship, what changed?

I thought long and hard before I message her back, I didn't want to fuck up or make a mistake with my words as I carefully messages her back.

Me: I hurt you and I really fucking like you, I just don't know how to be a boyfriend anymore and you changed that about me. I want to try dating you.

It didn't take long for her to reply.

Sweet Amira: okay I will go on a date with you but just to see how thing go.

"Fuck yeah" a shouted in excitement and Chris smirk at me. She accepted to go on a date with me and I need to make this a really great first date.

Me: Friday at 6pm. Dress comfortable and don't ask where we're going because it's a surprise.

That was the lost message I sent.
And  I couldn't stop grin because I was happy for the first time in a long while. I was at peace with myself, I needed to plan our date, I needed this to be special.

"Just remember Jackson keep your heart protected at all times, Don't fall in love, be strange and Tuck any feelings you develop for her a way. But most importantly don't fall in love again" my subconscious reminded me, I don't know what I would do without it.

"I know exactly where I am going to take her" I thought out loud And  Chris grin got evening bigger.

An: I know I haven't posted anything in awhile and I am sorry.
