I <3 You 4Real

Chapter 25 - Need

*Warning: slight smut*

It had been three weeks since the cinema, and Conner had taken her request surprisingly well.

Now, everytime they would go out, he'd be just as the first time they met, sweet and gentle.

Not that y/n didn't like his bad-boy like attitude, but she was really enjoying that other side of his complicated and intriguing personality.

They had went out together a little less, but just because her father needed more help at the library than usual, and Conner was also busy creating some new songs with the boys.

When they had the chance, they spent hours texting, talking about their days and of how much they missed each other, even if they had just went out for a walk or seen a movie at Conn's place.

Until that Tuesday...

Y/n was at the library, helping her father with the huge wave of clients that had filled the shop that day.

She was really tired of being there. It was the third time in two days, and she just wanted to go home and unwind, maybe watching some Netflix.

She sighed of relief, seeing the last customers leave. It was almost ten p.m., after all, and she really wanted to eat something.

"Thanks for your help, sweetie" her father smiled, taking a couple books from his desk.

He looked tired too.

"No problem, dad... are you staying much longer?"

"I'm just putting these back where they belong and tidying the place a bit. Don't worry, you can go home, I'll be fine..."

She sighed, and walked towards him, taking the books from his arms.

"I'll do it for you, you look really tired..."

"Sweetie, really, I'm fine-

"Dad, go home" she softly smiled "Have some rest... you deserve it"

He shook his head, with a huge grin on his face. He wanted to say something, but he knew she was a stubborn one, and it would've been a total waste of time.

"Ok, fine... but promise me you'll get home safe, ok? I don't like the idea of you going alone..."

As he said that, the door opened once again.

"Don't worry, that won't be a problem" she smirked, seeing Conner walk towards her.

His father turned around, confused, as he saw him. She had told him she was dating someone, but she hadn't told him who, and thought he was just another client.

"Hi! We're about to close..."

"Oh, no dad, he's-

"I'm here to buy a gift for my girlfriend" Conner lied, interrupting her before she could tell him "...I'll be quick, I promise"

Her father looked at her, worried.
"Are you sure you want me to go?"

"Yeah, don't worry" she giggled.

"Ok then. Goodnight, sweetie"

"Goodnight dad" she said, pecking his cheek.

He left.

"Hey babe" he grinned, putting his hands on her hips to bring her closer to him, as he lovingly stared into her eyes.

"Hey Conn" she smiled.

He leaned over, sweetly kissing her.
She cupped his face in her hands, caressing his cheeks, as they slowly pulled away.

"How did you know I was here?"
