Long Road Ahead

Chapter 6- Coley you're adorable

"And this one is from three years ago when Cole went through a weird phase." Coles mother says showing me a picture. "Mom." Cole grumbles. "No Coley you're adorable." I snicker trying not to laugh.

"Coley?" He asks. "Remember I use to call you that when we were younger?" I smirk. He groans and takes me before I can look at anymore pictures of him as a younger him.

I don't know why he would be embaressed if anything this family has it's looks. They are also so smart. God knew what he was doing when he made this family.

"Did you quit skating yet?" Cole asks. "Uh yeah but my coach says I can use to rink whenever I want." I say softly. "You're so talented Nov, why would you quit?" He asks. "Because it's not exactly what I enjoy." I sigh. "What do you enjoy?" He asks. "Music mainly." I say.

"Thats an obsession you've had since we were younger." He laughs. "Will you sing for me?" He adds asking. "I'm not sure I can." I admit.

Ever since I was little and got mocked for beating a girl in a sing off I haven't sang since. It's scares me to think Cole might mock me or make fun of me.

"But you also use to have a passion for barrel racing when you were sixteen." Cole says. "H-how do you know that? i ask. "I was at every competion." He admits. "I still barrel race every now and then."

"I'll see you tomorrow Nova." Cole says before bending down to kiss my cheek lightly. "B-bye." I stammer.

I walk into my house and up to my bedroom where I find rose pedals all over my room and the same amount of full roses. I pick up the note on my bed and read it.

i'm not even Kitten when I think it would be fittin' to be my girlfriend. Will you be my girlfriend Nova?

Cole. x

I look around feel the tears prick at my eyes and turn around to see Cole standing in my doorway with the cutest fluffy black and white colored kitten. I run over to him and wrap my arms around him to where we will not smush the cat.

"I'm hoping these are tears of joy." He says pushing my hair off of my face. "No they are I just thought we were just friends." I sniffle. "Well I did tell you I was in love with you soo." He chuckles and hands me the kitten.

"Your so cute!" I cooe to the little kitten. The kitten starts to purr and I just smile. "Why did you have to cry?" He asks. "Because i'm so pretty when I cry when I cry." I smirk at him.

He chuckles at me and pulls me closer to him placing a kiss onto my lips. Just when it's about to go five seconds the kitten pops us both. "Smart cat." I giggle.

"Check yes or no." He says placing a pen in my hand. I do as he says and hover over the no joking with him before checking the yes box.

"I like the note though thats cute." I smile. "Kitten and fittin', good word choice." I add laughing.

"At least I didn't text you." He grumble happily. "No you didn't and i'm happy you did it this way." I say planting a kiss onto his cheek.

"Now you can offically say you have a hot boyfriend." Cole says with a wink. "Or a egotistic boy." I sarcastically remark. "Nope it's a hot boy." He smirks.

I groan and walk over to the bed with the kitten and smile. Why can one cat be so cute? This one has a face no one can resist. I love her so much.
Now she needs a name.

"Hey Cole what shall we name our kitty?" I ask. "Uh?" Is all he can say. "You're no help." I mumble. "How about Mrs. Grumpy pants who scratched me during the ride here." He says with a shrug. "Nope to long." I laugh. "Lets just call her fuzzy or cuddles." He replies sitting down.

"Cuddles?" I laugh. "Lets call her Panda." I add. "That works." He laughs kissing my lips. "Oh and I also got you something else. But you have to wait until christmas." He smirks.

"A whole twelve days?" I fake whine. "Yes. So long right?." He laughs. "You know how you told me you came to all my competions?" I ask. "Uh well yeah." He says scratching the back of his neck. "I thought you hated me then." I admit.

"Nova i've never hated you I just- you weren't cool enough for my friends. You were like a geek or something because you're so smart and-" it's okay." I sigh. "please don't hate me ice." He says.

"I don't." I reply. "Are-" Shut up and kiss me." I laugh placing my lips onto his. "Calm down speedy. I just asked you out." He smirks. "Didn't stop you when we both were single." I reply.

He just laughs as I pet the cat and smirk at him. "You called me ice." I smile. "Well yeah." "It's just that you haven't the last few weeks." I sigh. "Oh." Is all he says.

It's the truth I thought Cole was mad at me or something and didn't want to call me by my nickname. I get so paranoid that he will one day not want to be with me friend or more. Like he did recently.

It's been six years since he stopped talking to me and it was kinda depressing at the time but I finally got over it after a few months. Being a kid and having your best friend you have grown up with stop talking to you makes it hard.

"Are you listening to me?" Cole asks snapping me out of my thought. "No." I admit laughing. "I asked if your parents are leaving for the buisness trip today or tomorrow?" He repeats. "Uhm tonight I think." I reply.

"Good do you want to maybe go to a party with me?" He asks. "Like one of those cliche ones with Booze and girls the boyfriend will cheat with?" I ask. "The booze will defiently be there but the girls can stay away from me because your the one I love." He snickers beside me.

"And you'll stay away from the booze right?" I ask raising my brow at him. "Yeah yeah but you are going to try something." He smirks. "Yeah like I would." I mumble. "You will because I want you to avoid anything in the future." He says.

I sigh. This boy will be the death of me one day.
