My Perfect Boyfriend

Chapter 4

Saturday morning... finally. What time is it? 7! What woke me up. I take a peek at my phone... so that is why, Markus texted me. I will answer it later, right now I am going back to sleep. I close my eyes trying to fall back to sleep when my phone starts ringing with an incoming call. What the hell!? I pick up my phone and answer it.

"What?" I say before he can say anything.

"I was just calling to say that I had fun last night with you. Are you ok? You seem mad?" He reply's

"Do you know what time it is? It is 7 I was trying to sleep," I snap out.

"Sorry, I forgot that most people like sleeping in on Saturdays" he responds. " I don't get to sleep in I have to help out on my family's farm on weekends"

I sigh, "it's fine, I shouldn't have been so short with you," 

"You want to meet up for coffee this morning?" He asks 

" Umm sure, what time?"

"How about 10? Gives you a little bit of time it sleep in," he suggested.

"Ok, ya that works. Want to meet at the Starbucks on Booster Street?" I ask.

Ya, that works for me. See you then," and with that, he hangs up.

Finally more sleep. 

"Hailey? Are you up?" My mom peeks through the door.

"I was just about to go back to sleep," I reply annoyed that I was interrupted again. 

"Oh, well I could use some help cleaning before I got to head for work. You think you can help?" She looks at me with pleading eyes. 

"Ya, fine I will be down in a second," I sigh and crawl out of bed. 

I spend the next 2 hours cleaning the house with my mom. It would have been better if she was not singing very off-key to every song that came on. After I finish I head upstairs to get ready for coffee with Markus. 

When I get to Starbucks I find Markus sitting at a table in the corner. When he sees me coming he stands to greet me. When I reach him he wraps me in his arms and places a peck on my lips. I can feel my cheeks turn pink and at the sight of it Markus smiles. We sit for an hour and a half talking about pointless things like hobbies we enjoy, our favourite songs, and what our families are like. I look down at my phone and see that I have missed texts from Alexa, Mikendra, and James. Shoot.

"I am so sorry but I got to go," I gather my purse and stand up, my muscles sore from sitting for so long. Markus stands up and steps over to me.

"Ok, thanks for meeting me, I had a good time," he smiles then pulls me in for a kiss. After we pull apart, I start on my way home.
