Secrets

Chapter 16. Finally.

"Hey, about that day-" Parker starts.

"No, it's in the past." I say.

He nods and drinks the rest of his water. His jacket still sits in my closet with the first one, they're just piling up. 

"So, what're we doing today?" He asks.

"What?" I ask.

"Just me and you." He says.

I look at him confused, "Why?" I ask.

"Because, we're friends." He says shrugging.

friends.

"Okay, where do you want to go?" I ask.

"Why do you think I asked?" He says chuckling.

"How about we go to a park." I say grinning.

"Your park?" He asks.

I nod and he looks surprised, "What? It's okay, we don't have to-"

"It's perfect." He says, "Like you."

My cheeks get hot and I hide my face.

"I love doing that to you." He says smiling.

"Come on." He says.

"What?" I ask.

"Let's go." He says smiling.

We argue for a little bit, I didn't want to leave the rest of the gang at my house. He insisted they had each other. So I went with.

When we get to the park it's broad daylight and Parker doesn't want it to be.

"Can we go kill some time at a diner?" He asks.

"I guess." I say shrugging.

I order a burger and fries and he does the same.

"How old do you think this place is?" I ask smiling.

"Two years old?" He asks.

I shake my head, "Go higher." I say eating a fry.

"Ten?" He asks laughing.

I nod and smile in amazement, "I used to go here when I was in elementary school." I say.

I think of the times my dad took me here. He was always so happy, when my mom was too busy working. 

"Hey." He says placing his hand on my wrist.

I take a deep breath, "I'm fine." I say.

He eats a fry and we keep talking for a while until it gets dark.

"Let's go." He says running out the door.

I chase after him and get into the car. When we get to the park,  it's dark and Parker's smiling.

"Why do you want it dark?" I ask. 

"Because, it's easier." He says stepping on the bark.

He leads me to the stairs that lead to the slide then up to the roof where I usually sit.

"Be careful." I say as he sits next to me.

"I should say the same." He says, I can hear the smile in his voice.

"I've been here for years, you haven't." I say, "It'd be nice if I could see your handsome face." 

"It wouldn't be easy for me." He says shifting.

What is he talking about.

"Here." He says placing a paper in my hand.

"What's this?" I ask.

"Put it in your pocket, read it when we get back." He says.

I do as he says and put it in my back pocket where my phone is. I'm surprised that no one has texted me yet.

"I really want to tell you this in person, but writing is easier." He says.

I've never heard him be so genuine. I love the way he's acting, it's usually me that's flustered. He takes my hand and turns toward me.

"I really want to do something." He says slowly, "But if you don't, stop me." 

I nod knowing he probably can't see me. I can see him do to the way the moon light hits him. He moves slowly and leans into me making butterflies fly around in my stomach. My heart races and before I know it his lips are pressed on mine. His hands pull my neck so I'm closer, my arms wrap around his. 

I follow his movements, sparks tangle in my blood. Every touch sends a volt of electricity through me.

I pull away, he looks at me looking worried.

"I..." I'm lost.

"I think that we should get back." He says smiling.

We walk back to the car and I pull him into me kissing his lips again. He grins and wraps his arms around my waist.

When we get back everyone is passed out and the TV is on. 

"They got tired of waiting." I say giggling.

He pulls my hand and leads me up the stairs to my room. I close the door and crawl into bed. 

"You aren't going to change?" He asks.

"No." I say groaning.

"Please, I want you to be comfortable." He says.

I get up and change into some black silk shorts and a tank top.

"Hot." He says nodding.

I throw a pillow at him and get into bed. Closing my eyes I feel his arm snake around my body. 

"Goodnight." He says.

"Night." I whisper.

I would have definitely taken things further if he wasn't a player. I'm so happy about what happened but I'm not going to take it too far when I don't even know what it is. I almost feel bad about calling him a player but that's as close as I can get to the explanation of him.
