The Unexpected Love Story

Chapter 11

Decisions.
One of the things I'm worst at.
"Can you meet me at the park after school? I kindove need someone to talk to about what happened."
"Sure. You can trust me."
I smiled. What a great guy. Now I'll just text Leo later to meet me later on so I can explain. The rest of class went by eventually and it was finally the end of the day. Now the tough part of the day comes.

I put everything in my locker up and met Reagan at the doors, then we headed off to the park. Sure we got stares but I got to get this out and confess.

Leo POV
Ok. Grace hates me. You can so see it on her face. At least she said hey. I've got to talk to her and explain. Ugh I'm idiot. What do I get myself into. The whole day was a wreck. I got fussed at a few times by my teachers for not paying attention. But nothing was that bad till I saw Grace and Reagan walk out of the school together. Oh no. This is all going in the wrong direction! Out of all the moments me and Grace had, this one of the worst. She ignored me all day. Yea... I soo need to talk to her. But the thing is... does she want to? But why was she walking with HIM? I'm better than that guy could ever be. Wait who am I kidding?

He's one of the populars, while I'm... me. Now I can see why Grace backed out of the kiss. She's disgusted in me. And would probably want to hang out with him more than she would with me. But I've known Grace longer than that doofus. Life is miserable. I've just got to talk to her.

Grace POV
We arrived at the park and sat on a bench.
"So do you want to tell me what's wrong?"
"Yea.. ok. So you know my friend Leo?"
"Yea. Nice guy. Did he hurt you?"
"No........ he kissed me. Last night that is."
"Oh"
"But I don't know what to do because I like you and I don't like him in that kind of way."
"Wait you like me?"
Oh dang did I say that out loud?
I just told him that I liked him! Oh gosh!
"Yea.. for a while."
Ok it wasn't the exact truth. But if things go well I'll tell him.

"Well I like you too."
"Really?! What is to like about me? I'm just a stupid gir-"
"You are not stupid! You are more than that! You-"
"Why do you hang out with me." I interrupted.
He chuckled. "Let me finish."
"Oh sorry!"
"Your nice, generous, loyal, and beautiful. And your someone good to be around."
"Aw really? You think so?"
"I know so."

Then he kissed me! Oh I can live in his kisses.

"You are so sweet and kind and soo much more! And handsome to." I said the last part quietly.
He smiled and I returned it. Then we kissed again.

"Grace will you be my girlfriend?"

Oh
My
Gosh!!!!

'Breath Grace!!'
Whoah! No way that Reagan Jackson is asking me! Is this reality?

"Should we keep it on a down low?" He asked.
Why does he want to keep it in a down low?
"Why do you want to keep it on a down low?"
"You know for your friend, Leo. At least for now till your comfortable."
"Actually that sounds like a good idea for now."

It was so random but it actually was good idea. We don't wanna being up attention. But wait would keeping all of this from Leo hurt are friendship more? Yes of course! Ohhh what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do? No I need to tell him.

"Wouldn't keeping this from Leo hurt him even more?"

"Yeah. Maybe you should tell him if you want too."
"I will. I was gonna hang out with him later to sort things out."
"Ok babe."
"Babe?"
"Do you not like it?"
"No! I like it!"
"Ok." He said with a smile and I giggled. It was cute.

Reagan POV
What's the deal with this Leo dude? I mean seriously. Grace is so concerned about him. But I get it that their really good friends but obviously the kiss thing went down.

I can see how Leo likes her. It shows.

I feel like the luckiest guy being with Grace. Now that she's mine, Leo should back off. Yeah he should. Heh...
