The Unexpected Love Story

Chapter 8

How in the freaking world did I forget are plans for tonight. My stupid self was all caught up in my date night with Reagan.... oh Reag- oh my gosh I've got a problem!

What should I do!! I am a Terrible/ Horrible friend!!
Do I stay on this date and ditch Leo? Or do I ditch this date to go with Leo? But this date could be my only chance with Reagan. But I could be risking my friendship with Leo. Ugh life sucks sometimes.

Well good thing dinner is almost over.

Sorry for the wait! Give me 20 minutes

Oh ok...

Geez what kind of friend am I? Now I got to make up a lie to get out of here to get to are special place in time. Thing is, is that I'm a horrible lier.

"Oh shoot! My mom needs me to get home to.. uh.. help her with something. I'm really sorry." Oof..
"No it's ok. I have some things to do any how."

And with that we got the check, and left. He drove me home, and we had a another good conversation but all ended when I saw my house. 'Awww!!'

"I had a great time tonight Reagan!"
"Same here! Maybe we can try again, let's say Friday night?"
"Well that's my birthday. And I'm sure that my mom and friends will plan something. Maybe later that night?"
"Only if you want to."
"Sure!"
"Okay! I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye."
Then that's all that I remember. His lips were in mine in seconds. His warmth so irresistible and comfortable. I kissed back, and we stayed like that a few moments. I could've stayed in that moment forever. But all moments don't last. His warmth soon left mine, and I slowly opened my eyes. Wait when did I close my eyes?

"See you."
"Bye..."

Why did this night have to end?
...... Oh gosh! Leo!

I ran and ran till I came upon the too familiar valley of are special place.

There sat Leo and this beautiful set up under are tree. Oh talk about the guilt.

"2 1/2 hours later. New record."
"Hi.... I'm really sor-"
"It's fine. Wow your dressed up."
Oh shoot! Another thing I wasn't smart about!
"Oh yeah.... just found something. It's nothing really."
"Well you look beautiful."
"Thanks." I said quietly.
Gosh I'm a horrible lier, a sneak, a horrible friend. What kind of person am I?

'Come on Grace. Just get through the night and then you can go home and cry.'

And so we did what we used to do. Talk about anything and everything (well except what happened earlier). And ended up watching a movie till it got late. We then headed home. Oh I was so ready to go.

When we arrived at my front porch door, we were met with awkward silence. Ohh I hate the silence.

"I had a good time tonight. Thanks for coming even though you were late." He said the last part quite like I couldn't hear but I did.

"Again I'm very sor-"
"Again you don't have to apologize. I get it we all get caught up in the moment sometimes."
Oh you have no clue what moment I was in.

Then Leo did something I would've never thought.
He pressed his lips on mine. My eyes didn't close this time and my lips were paralyzed and soon it went all over my body. I couldn't move. Th is is nothing like my kiss with Reagan.

I slowly pressed away and he looked in confusion.

"Sorry. I couldn't help myself." He said with a blush that spread across his face.

I have a nod and reached for the handle of my door and went inside.

What just happened?
