Chapter 21 - I'm sold

It had been about two days since the incident had occurred. Meaning today was Monday, the day of judgment. Kev had been bothering me since we left the house, reminding me about my promise to him.

'I quite remember the promise' I responded to him, every time he asked. I went through the day, avoiding him like a plague. He was a little of help since he was absent from lunch today. Kev still made go along with the plan and the time was nearing for me to fulfill the promise, I decided to think about everything I'd done to him, right up from the beginning till now and honestly, it wasn't quite much, considering it was just one week.

Then from there, I delved into the reason, he'll still be interested in talking to me, even after all my rude remarks and telling him off so much. I guess he was curious, considering I was closed off, only to him though.

I heard the shrill sound of the bell as we were dismissed from class. I walked out of the class in a hurry, hoping to catch him, before he takes off. There was no practice with the boys today so I had to hurry. I got to my locker, carrying everything I needed. I ran towards his locker when I saw him with Joey, both of them laughing at something. Him leaning against his locker as Joey dramatised.

I walked over to them, as I got to their line of sight, Liam stopped talking, staring at my increased pace towards them. Joey accepted my presence with a bear hug.

"How you doing?" He asks,

"I'm very well thank you" I answer him, tapping the sides of his face. I turn around to meet the stare of Liam. My eyes connected with his beautiful brown ones as I slowly talked and gaged his reaction. "May I have a word with you?"

He stared at me for a while, then looked down for a while. He looked back at me for a while before muttering a 'sure'.

Thank God

He gestured for me to walk in front of him. I began walking towards the school field, looking back, I see Joey giving me a thumbs up. I smile at the gesture.

We reached the field as I took a sit at the middle of the field. He looked down at me with a raised eyebrow. "What?" I shrugged, tapping the side beside me. He sighed, removing his hand from his pockets, sitting crossed legs on the grass.

There was this awkward silence that reigned and God I could cut through the tension with a knife.

He leaned back, staring at me with a small sigh, "so..."

"So..." I began twisting my fingers in my lap.

"You called me out here to talk" he stated and I looked down at him.

I sighed and began, "look..." I licked my lips and continued, "I'm really sorry for how I've acted towards you this past week. I know it's just a week, but then I realised I didn't have a right to insult you like that, considering you're a friend of a friend..." I gave a small smile, "...and I'd like us to start over, considering you were there for me when I needed you, what do you think of being a friend?" I bring out my hands to him, looking down. All the what if's rolling round my head.

He gets up suddenly, dusting himself off. I felt bummed. I retracted my palms, feeling a little embarrassed. As I was about to get up from my sitting position, he brought forth his arms. I looked up at him, trying to see what he was up to. He gave me a heart warming smile.

"Let's start over" he says. I grinned up at him, grabbing his arm as he lifted me up as if I were weightless. "Hi beautiful, my name's Liam Madrid"

I chuckled a little and gave him a very wide smile, as I rolled my eyes, bouncing on the spot, "Hey, my name's Krystal Adams and I loovee iced cream. Would you mind if we go get some"

He chuckled, "I guess we already share something in common, who am I to turn iced cream down"

With my hand still in his we walked back into the school building, going straight for his car. I look around for my brother but his car is nowhere to be found. I sighed getting into Liam's.

The drive to the iced cream parlour was so exciting, I almost puked glitters.

Wow, that came out very wrong

I had expected it to a little bit awkward at the beginning, but I was proved so wrong. I laughed so much my stomach hurt. I couldn't believe I had been missing this for a long insufferable week. Every time he seemed to utter a word, I was full out laughing. Most times he just smiled at me and chuckled here an there.

He parked the car and we got out. I was so excited, I was bouncing on my feet.

God, I feel like a child that's about to be handed candy for doing good.

He walked around the car, "why didn't you wait for me to open your door?" he asks, his eyes in slits.

"Why would you open my door for me?" I ask curiously, "you didn't open it when I got in" I put my hands on my waist.

"Because you didn't allow me to" he glowered down at me.

Okay, I'm not that short, I'm about 5'8 and he's like 6'2. Just freaking 6 inches

*huff*

I stand on my tip toes to preserve my ego, slightly huffing at the evident height difference. He pats my head, smiling and right then and there I felt like a child. "Come on, let's head inside"

I pout following behind him, next thing I know, he has his hand at the small of my back. I jumped at the contact as I felt an electric jolt, run through my spine as my back warms up from his palms.

Damn, I'm sold

As we walked into the parlour, the sweet smell of vanilla and strawberry filled my nose. I took a very refreshing breath, as Liam asked what I would like to have. We got to the counter and I ordered my usual. We then proceeded to navigate our way to my usual sit. Liam followed closely behind with his hand still on the small of my back.

We got seated, got our iced cream and chatted till it was high time we went home. I honestly had not had that much fun in a long time. His smile at my sassy comments, his smirk at my embarrassing moments, his laugh at my tales. I loved it all and I couldn't wait to experience more with him.

He dropped me off at my house and I couldn't help but say, "thanks a lot for today, see you at school tomorrow" I waved at him before proceeding into my home with a smile on my face that didn't seem to wear off at all, even when Kev tried to suck the truth out of me.

I slept with that same smile, and a lifted heart, thinking of our conversation as I drifted off to sleep.
