Secrets

Chapter 19. Fixing.

Mary sits watching TV while I clean the counters of the kitchen. 

"Are you going to talk to Parker soon?" She asks looking over at me.

"I don't know, it's awkward." I say shrugging, "We went on one date."

"You know I love you and I'm your best friend, but what if you're the one wrong here?" 

I look at her with frustration, how could she? Maybe she's right.

"Continue." I say calmly.

"What if because you know he has done bad things, you were so quick to assume the worst?" 

I look at her genuinely weighing her point. She's right.

I nod and stand, she smiles up at me, "So?" She asks.

"I'm going to try and talk to him." I say walking out the door.

"You go girl!" She yells.

I get in my car and head to my park. If he wants to talk to me he'll meet me there.

I sit on the roof of my slide and pull out my phone.

Hey, I want to talk about everything. - Me

I'm sorry, I'll be here at my spot waiting until ten - Me

Don't come, do, it's your choice - Me

I turn my phone off and set it beside me. I watch the stars and moon as the night sky magnifies their beauty. 

I checked my phone since it was eight and now it's nine thirty. I decide he's not coming and begin to climb down.

"Stay up there." I hear his voice say.

I sit and try to look for him but it's too dark. He sits next to me without making any eye contact, I take deep breaths before turning to him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't give you time to explain, I'm so scared of... losing you." I say, "So maybe if I'm mad when you leave I won't want you to come back." 

He watches me as I speak, "I want you to talk to me." 

"What'd you think?" He asks quietly.

"I... I thought that I was too easy for you." I say embarrassed.

He grabs my arms, "You? There's no one like you, you're so full of confidence and such loyalty, the amount of times I wanted to kiss you is so uncountable!"

I smile at his words in relation, "I locked the door because I like to talk to you, no matter how long, I don't want to be interrupted." He says rubbing my fingers.

"I'm sorry." I repeat feeling incredibly guilty.

"I think..." He begins then shakes his head.

I don't bother to push him, I've done it enough. 

I stand and he follows, he smiles down at me, "You're so determined to fix the things you want." He says.

I nod and lean into his face kissing him gently. He sits at the entrance of the slide and pats his lap.

"What?" I ask smiling.

"Sit." He says.

I sit on his lap and he wraps his arms around me before going down. We both laugh until getting to the end and falling out. 

"Let's go, I want to lay in my bed." I groan.

He nods and gets in his car. He follows behind my car until pulling into my driveway.

I walk to the door but he pulls my hand away, I look up at his tall self.

"Kiss me." He says smirking.

I lean up and kiss him, his hands wrap around my legs lifting me up. I instantly wrap my legs around his waist and he pushes the door open behind me. 

I laugh between kisses as he carries me through the house.

"That's my cue." I hear Mary say while standing.

I giggle as he presses his lips into mine until getting to my room. 

I  fall onto the edge of the bed and he chuckles. 

"Goodnight, beautiful." He says turning.

"Wait." I say.

He doesn't turn he just waits for my words.

"I...  I know it's crazy and all but I truly feel so amazing around you and I... I love you Parker." I say looking at the back of his head.

"What?" He asks making me worried.

He still faces the door looking down at the floor.

"I love you." I repeat. They feel right coming out of my mouth.

He turns while walking toward me, "I love you, El." He says kissing me. 

I wrap my arms around his neck while he slides his hands to my waist. My hair falls in my face but I ignore it was he places me on my bed.

"You're not going to stop me now, right?" He asks.
