Together?

Chapter 3

"Didn't you read the note I left?", he questions.
His scrunched eyebrows leave a few creases on his forehead.

"You should frown less or else you're going to be extremely wrinkly in future", I let out.

Shit! Did I just say that? I'm an idiot.

He ignored my statement and says, "Look I..." he let's out a loud sigh and continues, "I'm sorry".

I know what he is talking about but I really do not want to have this conversation."For frowning? That was honestly a joke", I reply with an awkward laugh trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"No I mean... I'm sorry for that night. I really did not mean for that to happen, I swear it was a drunken mistake. I don't want you think I'm an asshole taking advantage of you", he rambles.

Damn good looking and considerate no wonder I crush on him. I wish more guys were this respectful and did not treat women like objects.

"Hey, it's fine. We were both drunk and for the record I didn't think you were an asshole", I say reassuringly.

There is a moment of silence before he chuckles, "Wow this is awkward."

"Yeah".

He runs his hands in his hair and says "This wasn't how I intended my first time to be".

Holy shit I was Damien Knight's first!

"I was your first?" I almost squeal. I cringe at how high pitched my voice came out

"Yeah", he replies nonchalantly as if it was the most normal thing ever. "I know I have this weird reputation floating around but I'm not some douche who goes around doing stuff not giving a fuck about people's feelings" he pauses and continues,"I... I wanted my first time to be with the girl I love", he admits looking down and a slight red tinge on his cheeks.

I almost smile and reply "I didn't mean it that way, I just thought that you must have dated some really pretty girl before and you know, done stuff". I emphasise the done part. "I didn't", he replies, "I never really found the one I guess".

God this cute boy is such a softie.

There was again silence filled in the atmosphere till I finally decided to speak
"Okay so we both agree it was an unintended mistake so let's just forget about it and pretend it didn't happen?"

"Yeah, I guess we could do that". He extended his hand for me to shake in agreement. I obliged.

"So we're good", he said shaking my hand with a firm pressure. "Yeah we are", I say with a forced smile.

"See you around, I guess", he says and walks out.

I was hurt honestly. Although I knew I was stupid to even imagine, I kinda hoped that maybe he liked me too and that night could have been the push he needed to tell me how he always liked me and asked me out.

I know stupid, but a girl can dream...right?
