Do you trust me?

Chapter five

Chapter Five

The next week at school we would pass by each other very awkwardly, I would share a smile but he would just look away. I’ve taken time to realize that I have fallen for my best friend. And it hurts to be ignored by him, it’s like I have gone back to my past. Un-noticed. Why is always me? I’m always the one to get hurt and it’s terrifying to know every small thing will end that way. When you’re falling in love, and you can’t control what you feel, it hurts so much to know they could be falling out of it.

I went home that night with him on my mind. So I walked to his house a couple houses down. When I walked up the stairs I was too nervous to knock, afraid to wake his dad. So I texted him.

Me: Come outside?

I waited like 5 minutes until he texted back.

Connor: Sure.

I hear footsteps and the door unlock. When he closed it behind him he looked at me. “Hey.” He said awkwardly. I wasted no time in my action.

I pulled his shoulders down and pushed my lips against his. He was shocked at first but pulled my waist close to him and my arms wrapped around his neck. He deepened the kiss and I felt like I was in a completely different world.

When he pulled away a while after, I kept my eyes closed. Not wanting the moment to end. He let go of my waist and I slowly opened my eyes and stared into his emerald green eyes. “Why?” He asked me. “Because I feel the same way.” I softly replied. His face lit up, and a smile played on his face. “Really?” He questioned. “Really.” I smiled.

 “I have something to ask.” I tell him when we are in his yard looking at the stars. I play with his hand around my waist, waiting for an answer. “And what might that be?” He responds. “Why did you ignore me? I’m your best friend and you just stopped talking to me.” I turn in his grasp, putting my head on his chest and looking up at him. He moves a strand of hair out of my face and said, “I didn’t want to know your response to my confession. I didn’t know if you would accept the fact that your best friend was falling for you. And I had no clue it would turn out like this.” I smiled at him, glad I got my answer. I sigh and close my eyes. We sit like that until I have to go home.

When I’m leaving he runs and gives me a bear hug, then whispers in my ear. “Stay?” I feel heat rise in my cheeks. “Okay. But I have to be gone at least twenty minutes before school because I have to get ready and,” He stops me there by putting his hand under my jaw and laying a soft kiss on my lips. This stops me from speaking at all, so he does the talking. “Tomorrow is Saturday.” He chuckles. “Oh yeah. I forgot. But I don’t have any extra clothes or my toothbrush or makeup…” I ramble on. “It’s okay. You can leave when needed. Just stay for the night?” He pleas. “I will.” I smile at him.

The next morning I wake up, something heavy on my waist. When I turn around I see Connors face. I jump a little, forgetting for a moment I had slept over. “Good morning beautiful.” He says, kissing my forehead. “Good morning.” I smile. We go downstairs and have cereal while watching morning cartoons. Weird? I know. But it’s just what we do together.

I’m washing our bowls when he comes up behind me and hugs my waist, burying his face into my neck. I continue with what I’m doing, dry my hands, and turn around. I put my forehead against his and we stay like that. Then it’s time for me to go home. Want to know why? My dad called.

“Hello?” I answer nervously. “Where are you?!” He screams at the other end of the line. “I’m at my friend’s house.” I lie. Even though it is a friend, but more than a friend. “Without permission?” He questions. “Yes dad. I’m sorry, I’ll come home right away.” I answer fast and hang up. Connor comes in the room and holds my hand. “What’s wrong?” He says pulling to me to couch. I get back up. “I have to get home.” I say. He looks hurt so I’m quick to react, “My dad called.” “Shit.” He mutters, “Okay. But come back when you can?” “Okay I will.” So with that, I grab my phone and I am out the door.

When I return home my dad is on the couch. “Phone.” He says, holding out his hand. I hand him my phone. “You’ll get it back in a couple days. Until then you’re grounded, all chores are yours to do.” He says. “What? That’s not fair. I understand the phone thing but grounded for two days and chores being mine? There’s like fifteen things to do, DAILY.” I pout, I know it’s childish but it works. He gives me the ‘Go to your room’ look, so I do.
I close the door behind me and jump on my bed. I decide to take off my makeup and get in the shower. I just choose simple clothing. My new crop top and shorts, with a red flannel to go on my waist.

When I’m out I towel dry my hair and put on eyeliner and mascara. I hear my phone go off twice, thank god for passwords. When I change I grab my book ‘The Host’ and begin reading. For the weekend I carry on with what I am supposed to do, Monday I get my phone back for school. And he spammed me.

Connor: Hey J

Connor: Why aren’t you responding?

Connor: So that happened and you ignore me .-.

Connor: Did you get in trouble?

Connor: Ambeeerrrrrr!!

Connor: I saw you mowing the lawn. You did get in trouble didn’t you?

Connor: I’m assuming you got your phone taken away.

Connor: See you on Monday, my lovely.

When I finish scrolling through them all the bus has arrived and I’m on my way to hell.

When I arrive at my locker, Connor is standing there with a rose in his hand. He smiles when he sees me, then comes and takes my hand. “Hey.” He says, twirling me around once then kissing me. “Hey.” I smile. We earned a few stares. “Nothing to see here. Carry on.” He tells them, and they go to class. Rebecca and her boyfriend Michael come up to us.

“What was that?” Rebecca asks, shocked. “A greeting. What else would it be?” Connor replies. “Nice bruh.” Michael high fives Connor. Rebecca giving me an odd look, I just shrug. I grab my books and we go to our classes.

After school I’m walking home. I figured it would be nice to get out there and enjoy nature. I stop at a park bench and scroll through my social media. When Rebecca comes and sits by me. “Stay away from Connor Amber. You’re not good enough for him. But I am, So back off and make your way back into loser town. Because if you don’t, you’ll make your way into hell. Bye bye.” And she walks off. What… The… Fuck. No I will not stay away from him. He wants me and I want him so there is no way she can take that from me. I text him what just happened.

Me: So Rebecca just told me to back off of you or I will be in hell.

Connor: Wth? Does she think I want her? I mean, we used to be into each other but I got over it. Guess she didn’t. You have nothing to worry about. Where are you?

Me: Alright. And city park.

Connor: Be there soon.

I smile and go back on my phone. When I feel a pair of hands cover my eyes. “Guess who?” A male voice says. I feel a body push my legs up and onto his own. Then he removes his hands. Obviously Connor. “So I told Rebecca there was nothing that she could do to make me hers. Again.” He says. “Again?” I ask. “Fourth grade, three days.” He replies. “Oh okay.” I feel relieved. “Dinner with me at 6. Get a dressy kind of casual okay? I’ll pick you up.” He kisses my cheek and walks to his truck. I check the time. 4:27pm. I gotta get going, so I run home. I hop in the shower really quick and get out to blowdry my hair. I decide on beach waves with a neutral smokey effect on my eyes. A pink lip seals the deal. I go in my closet and find a red high waisted skater skirt with a white knit long sleeved shirt and brown ankle boots. It’s 5:58 when the doorbell rings. I grab my black Celine purse, stuff my phone and wallet in there and go to meet Connor.
