Only Us the series

Chapter Twelve ~ no

I touch my chin to my hands and watch him sleep. Weird? Not really, I find him cute. The fact that I woke up bright and early before him to watch him, now that's weird.
I smile watching his chest rise and fall, how soft he looks as he sleeps. Free of any worry and frowning.
His alarm rings and he opens his eyes quickly, not giving me enough time to runaway.
"Hey!" He jumps covering himself with his blanket , "what are you doing?"
"N-nothing, I um...fell," I shy away from his glance, "Imma go take a shower."
He nods and I run to get my towel and shut the bathroom door nervously.
As I stand in the steamy shower I try to come up with ways to win back P'kun. First I should start with what he likes. I've never thought about that before, all he eats is snacks and play his guitar.
I sigh.
Is this how he felt when he liked me? Maybe I was too harsh.
I start to feel bad as I get out of the shower.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"I'm sorry," I look at him genuinely.
"For what?" He looks confused as I slump onto my bed.
" Just.... for rejecting you so harshly, and taking time to hear you out."
He laughs, "it's good you realize it now."
I get up to sit next to him, "soo how can I make it up to you?"
"Hmmm, I'm not sure," he smiles and looks away.
"Pleaseeeee," I nudge his shoulder playfully.
"Ok ok, take me out for dinner later." He turns to face me.
"Deal!"I jump to get ready for class.
____________________________
I've never been so jittery before, you know that feeling of excitement or nervousness you get? Then your legs start bouncing up and down or shake like  your on a stage with an audience of a million. Yeah not fun, but I can't help it.
"Hey, how much coffee you drink this morning?" Says P'San.
"I didn't," I assure.
"You know, for someone who just ended a relationship you seem pretty happy," he looks confused.
"Well I have a date tonight," I smile guiltily.
"Shit! Already?" He wraps his arm around me, "tell me where you keep pulling these girls from."
"No," I tease him.
"Uh, fine," he releases me, "I'll just follow you."
"What no!" I push him away slightly.
"Fine, keep it to yourself," he huffs.
I grab my bag to rush to my next class but I'm delayed by a crowd surrounding the bulletin board in the hallway. They all whisper and point so I push through to see what the fuss is about.
"How sad, no wonder he's so cold."
"That's why he doesn't talk?"
"How pitiful."
"No wonder he lives alone."
"I wonder what happened to his dad."
I finally get the chance to look at the bulletin board only to see news articles from 18 years ago, and P'kuns school photo posted right next to each article.
Small Town Boy Loses Mother In Accident
I refuse to read the rest and I start pulling down the articles, I'm sure P'kun doesn't want to be reminded of this, and I'm sure he doesn't want the rest of the school to know.
Some people groan and sigh since they don't get to finish reading.
"Sorry guys nothing to see here," I say inform.
As I walk with the crumpled papers in my hand I start to think, when did those get there? Why were they there?
I'm sure P'kun would just post his business for everyone to see. Someone must've done it, but why?
I bump into him without noticing, I'm so engrossed in my thoughts.
"Oh?," he says, " what's that?"
He reaches for it but I pull it away.
"Nothing, just some flyers for a dance or something." I lie.
"Oh a dance? Let me have a look maybe we can go." He reaches too quick and opens up the paper.
I put my hand over it before he can read, "not really a good idea the theme is pretty dumb."
"Nonsense whatever it is we'll have fun together," he pulls the paper away and reads.
Shit, there's no going back now.
I rub the back of my head and watch him just glance at it.
"Where'd you get this?" He looks up concerned.
"Someone put it up on the bulletin board," I say.
"Do you know who?" He asks.
"No, but I took it down before more people could read it." I ensure.
He smiles slightly.
"Sooo," I take the paper out of his hand before he can actually read it, "how about we just ditch today and go eat?"
"Mmm, sure," he nods and I throw my arm over his shoulder as we walk down the hall.
______________________________
We sit across from each other at some sandwich place. P'kun kinda pouts since he wanted to go eat noodles, I told him his fat ass already eats all the snacks I buy at the dorm.
"So do mind if I ask?" I mess with my fingers wondering if I should touch on this subject.
"Truth is I don't know much about it," he says, "I remember fragments of the accident."
"Like what?" I push more.
"I just remember a ball, and a loud screeching sound, next is a blur," he sighs.
"Hmm, you never got it checked out?" I ask.
"Yeah, the doctor said it's some disorder, it'll only come back if it gets triggered by something." He says .
I start to think more. I think maybe it's a good thing he doesn't remember, it'll be more hard on him if he does.
The waiter serves our food and we dig in. Even when he eats it's adorable, his cheeks becoming bigger as he chews on his sandwich.
He looks up at me with a full mouth, "what?"
"Fat ass," I laugh and he sticks out his tongue at me, taking another bite.
_________________________
When we arrive at the door I sit on the small sofa with a blanket and waiting for him to get done changing.
He takes a seat next to me in just a white tank top and boxers. I can't help but to gulp.
SHIT! I give myself a mental slap. It's not like you haven't seen it before. I lift the blanket to cover my blushing cheeks.
"So what movie did you have in mind?" He hands the remote to me.
I turn the tv on, but there's nothing to watch honestly. I glance at him quickly. Quick think of something.
I put on something random, which was definitely a mistake. It was some French movie that was alright at first but then it turned into a porno. I look at him but I find he's just staring at me and laughing.
I exit the movie and leave it on some soccer channel.
"I don't think we should watch that movie," I say refusing his gaze.
"I could've told you that," he laughs.
"I'll um, go get you some snacks," I stutter.
I jump up from the sofa and trip over my blanket in a rush, landing in his arms.
"Looks like I got my snack," he smiles and looks me in the eyes with that 'look'.
I try to push away quickly but he pulls me in more.
"You don't have to try so hard," he whispers, "I already forgive you."
"Really?" I don't know why I'm excited.
"Mmm," he sighs, "but tell me, are you serious about this?"
My heart beats as his face gets closer to mine. And then I realize again how stupid I was to ignore him before.
"Of course," I look at his lips nervously, "that is , if you'll accept me."
He grabs my chin with his hand and pulls me in for a kiss. I'm startled at first but the warmth of his arms surround me. I run my hands up his back and through his hair as he pulls me in tighter.
"P'kun," I catch my breath and look at his closed eyes, "I like you."
He smiles and I grab his face to pull him in for a kiss.
"Now get ready for bed," he says giving one last peck.
"Ugh,fine " I sigh, "on one condition."
"What's that," he looks into my eyes.
"Sleep with me," I urge.
He laughs, "no,"
"What? Why?" I wrap my arms around his waist.
"Aren't you afraid this fat ass will take up the whole bed?"
"Oh come on," I whine, "I was kidding, pleaseee?"
"Fine," he smiles.
I get up to prep the bed and catch him looking at his phone sternly.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
He looks up and smiles, "nothing."
He then gets up to lay next to me and we hold each other tightly and sleep.
