He's The One

Chapter 8

Delilah POV
~~~~~~~~

"So when I made the shot, the guy just ran into me so I got my 2 free throws." Thomas says.

He is so hilarious. We've been talking for what feels like years and I've been laughing for so long. "That's so scary and awesome at the same time." I laugh.

"Yeah. So I'm about to ready to get outta here. How about you ?" He says grinning with those adorable dimples of his. I smile.

"Yeah. I'm ready." I say. We walk to his Mercedes-Benz and he opens the passenger door for me. "Thank you." I say and sit in the passenger side.

He jogs over to the drivers side and begins driving.

"So do you want to get ice cream or something on the way back ?" He says while glancing to me nervously. "Sure. I could use some chocolate chip cookie dough." I say with a smile.

He slowly slides his hand over to intertwine his fingers with mine and I allow him to.

After getting ice cream, he drives me home and walks me to my door. "So... I had a lot of fun tonight." He says while scratching the back of his head. "I did too." I say with a smile.

I think it's adorable that I can make him nervous. "So.. Goodnight." He says, and leans in to kiss my cheek. I turn at the last second so his lips meet mine instead. He pulls back quickly. "I'm so sorry." He says and runs a hand through his hair.

"It's okay. I wanted to." I whisper. And his head back to mine.

After a few minutes of kissing, I pull back and smile. "I'll see you later." I say and open the door.

"Y-yeah. I'll see you later. Yeah, later. Um. Later later. So, later." He stumbles over his words.

I laugh and close the door.

I bite my lip smiling.

"Where were you so late ?" I hear behind me. I groan and turn around.

"None of your business John. What are you doing here anyway ?" I ask and walk past him to the kitchen. I barely anything there Cuz it was all so expensive.

"It's closer to the school. And I'm a p.e teacher until I start college next semester at UCR." He says casually.

"Oh." I say, while heating up some leftover wings and mini tacos. "So where were you ?" He mumbles. "On a date. With Thomas. At some fancy restaurant." I say while waiting for the food to heat up.

"Oh. Had fun ?" He says. "Yeah. A lot. Then we got ice cream and he drove me home and kissed me goodnight."

The microwave beeped, but John stood in my way so I couldn't get it out. "He kissed you ?!" He whispered angrily. "yup." I say while popping the p. "And it was amazing." I whisper while narrowing my eyes.

I push him to the side to get my food and place it on the kitchen island while I get some ranch into a dipping bowl.

John takes a wing and dips it into MY RANCH. "Dude what the hell!" I say.

"That's what you get for kissing another guy." He says while licking his fingers. "Are you fucking serious ?? So you can flirt and fuck and kiss whoever you want, but I have to be single until you decide that you want me ?!" I half scream.

I grab my plate and ranch with a bottle of apple juice and sit at the dining table. "Look, I'm sorry. I just have commitment issues. You know what happened last time I had a girlfriend." He mumbled.

I do know. Her name was Evelyn and they were in love. They dated for 2 years when she was diagnosed with lung cancer from her second hand smoking from her mom.

After 2 months of fighting it, she passed away and John just wasn't the same. He didn't talk to anybody for like 6 months until he finally got over it and moved on. Her mom passed away 2 days after Evelyn passed.

But I'm not Evelyn ! Why can't he see that I'm the one for him ?

A/N: Looong wait, I know. :( but I've been really busy. Just got out asses beat by Cajon High School and A.B Miller High School so kind of down :(. But here's an update.
