One Week// Mace Coronel

mace and I walked soaked in water down the street towards my house. "I'm sorry about today." i said breaking the silence. "i think its very much my fault." he said taking a deep breath.

after Layla caught us kissing in the water she ran off with all her things. she took a wrong turn into the woods and slipped and broke her ankle. we had to call the cops due to the fact that she was angry at us and wailing in pain. she didn't want either of us to come near her. so yeah I'm completely certain that she hates mace and i both.

"I was the one who told you to kiss me knowing full well that she would see." he said. I shivered and he gave me his towel. "oh no you'll get cold." i said trying to hand it back to him. "that's totally fine." he said and held me close.  "I would say she made a scene but she was probably just embarrassed." i said as my house came into view. "how do i even deal with that?" he giggled. "let's get her favourite food and candy with flowers and bring it to her tomorrow?" i suggested. "yeah that's so smart." he said.

"this summer is really off to a bumpy start." I said as I let him in the house. "I wonder how we're gonna sort this out." I laughed as we walked into my room. "here." i gave him his towel and he sat down on it on the ground. "I'm gonna take a shower." i said grabbing a new towel and set of clothes. "then i can walk you home?" i asked. "uh maybe we can go on a walk?" he suggested. "sure." I said and walked into the bathroom.

i stepped into the warm water. I washed my hair and combed through it. i made a list in my head of what we should get for Layla.

i know she likes curly fries and cookies and cream shakes. oh and i remember she likes snickers and hi-chew oh and that yogurt juice stuff from that one movie. oh and i know she likes daisies.

i got out of the shower and got dressed. i walked out and saw mace reading my old diary. "hey that's not for you to read!!" i said and pulled it from his hands. "sorry just wanted to peak at it." he laughed. "do you wanna shower here?" i asked him as i dried my hair. "Nah i can wait till i get home. i don't wanna put this on after showering." he pointed to the clothes he was wearing. "alright let me get my shoes on." i said as i picked out a new pair of socks and dry shoes.

i put them on and grabbed a backpack and money. "shall we?" i said standing in the doorway. "we shall." he laughed on his way out. i followed behind him as we walked out of my house to his. "you shower and then we get the stuff for Layla. but i think we're gonna have to get her flowers tomorrow. so they don't die overnight." i said. "sure. do you wanna stay over?" he asked taking my hand. "yeah." i smiled at him.

we walked into his house and to his room. "hurry up." i kissed his cheek. he jogged off to the bathroom with his clothes and towel in hand. i heard the water start.

i decided to look around his room. i got up and walked over to his desk. under it there were boxes decorated with stickers. i opened one and it was full of baby photos. "aww" i muttered. that's adorable. i sifted through the photos and found myself swooning over him. "hey! what are you doing?" he asked while putting his shirt on properly. "just looking. you know, returning the favour." i laughed as i put all the photos back into the box. "alright. its getting dark and we need to go." he said and grabbed my hand and pulled me out of his house.

we began walking to the store. "do you know what we're getting?" he asked. "uh yeah." i said remembering everything i had listed earlier. "so listen. I feel like this whole thing between us has been forced." i said and looked up at him. he went from grinning to frowning rather quickly. "i do have feelings for you i just don't think they're as intense as your feelings for me." i said feeling my heart break a little. i didn't want to hurt him. "oh." he said sadly. "but i want to work on it together." i said intertwining our fingers. "oh!" he started giggling. i smiled at him. "okay. i get it. we can take out time. i don't mind. not that it would be a problem if i did. oh and not that what i say about it would matter. and not-" so I kissed him.

i pulled away. "thanks. i don't think i would have stopped talking." he smiled. "i know." i laughed.
