Van
The cigarette held in between her two fingers made her look even more like someone from my dreams, she was stunning. The lids were all so well aware I fancied her and if they weren't, they definitely were now. I wasn't normally quiet but around her I seemed to shut up, I couldn't help but stare at her, she probably thought I was well creepy. Larrys been teasing me all night and Benji blabbed to Liz which meant all my chances of my current feelings towards her being a secret were screwed. It's not been long since everything went down with her ex and there was no way she'd want anything that I do just now and even if she did, certainly not with me. She was like some model that belonged on the cover of whatever that magazine is and I was just a scrawny boy who played the guitar and wrote music.
"So your dads Scottish?" I asked, trying to make conversation with her because she was just so fascinating.
"Yeah, my mum and dad live there so it's just me and my sister living here, although she stays 5 minutes out of Llandudno" Olivia wasn't much older than me but she was living on her own and had her life together by the sounds of it, I was still living with my parents waiting to release an album that might do absolutely shit. This is why she's too good for me, it's like if Katy Perry fell in love with one of your school teachers, wouldn't happen.
We stepped back inside the garage, receiving several winks from Larry thinking he was being discreet. Bondy liked her because her dad played at his folks wedding so they were chatting away in the corner, I know Bondy wouldn't betray me like that but fuck I was jealous. Why? I've literally known her 2 minutes and she only spoke to me because I was passed out on the middle of the pavement.
The time was 1 AM and everybody began slowly announcing their departure, when Olivia stood up to leave it was just me, Larry and Bob left. I offered to walk her home so the boys had to go, there was no way she was walking back home herself. It was freezing though, a leather jacket and t-shirt wasn't going to be keeping her very warm on the walk back.
"Liv you'll freeze out there, d'you want a jumper? I'm giving you one" I chucked her one of my old hoodies before she had the chance to say no. The minute she pulled it over her head my cheeks began to blush, she looked cute with my jumper on but I had to wake myself up. This wasn't going to be what I was thinking and it probably never will be, we've become really good friends over the past few days and the boys have really taken to her and I couldn't ruin that.
Llandudno was empty, every couple of minutes Liv told me that she could walk the rest herself because she didn't want me walking the whole way back myself but I insisted on getting her to her door. Our arms were linked and although I knew it was because it's freezing, I couldn't help but think maybe she does like me a little. I was being stupid though, of course she doesn't, why would she?
"Well Van here we are, please don't fall over on your way home because the chances of me finding you and bringing you back here again are close to nothing" That smile appeared back in her face which made me go weak at the knees.
"If I fell right here would you take me in?" I joked back, I only realised after I said it that it sounded way more flirtier than I intended and I didn't want her to get the wrong impression. She sighed and leaned her head against her door frame,
"You've got really nice eyes" Her voice was so tender and even at 1 AM she looked beautiful, my heart was practically beating out of my chest at the fact she complimented me.
"Thanks love, I'll see soon yeah?" If I didn't drag myself away I'd end up losing my mind, she nodded and I made my way down her drive.
"Van?" I turned back to see she was still standing at her door, the light was coming from behind her so I couldn't see her very clearly but I could see she was smiling at me. "D'you want my number?"
"Course! Em yeah no that would be good, erm" I didn't mean to sound so straight up but she started shouting numbers at me so I had to type them into my phone quickly. I waved goodbye and she let out a little giggle before closing her door. She'll probably regret giving me her number when she wakes up but she didn't have mines which was going to make it harder because I was the one that had to text or phone first. Would there be point in me even texting her tomorrow if she's just going to be faced with regret?
