Super Human? •PETER PARKER 2•

Chapter 14

Hours go by after I do some homework and eat. As I get ready for this game night I notice how nervous I am to have a normal hang out with Peter. As normal as it can be giving the circumstances. This would be the time I reminisce about Peter and I in high school, but I suddenly realize we were never a normal relationship. Before I got my powers I didn't even really talk to him. I didn't even remember his first name half the time. He was always Parker, mostly because I thought that was his first name! I groan a bit as I put a little bit of bronzer on my face. I look in the mirror and turn up my music that's already blasting in my ears. The sounds of the city are getting so loud that I'm nervous I might have a fit again. They've been getting worse since I first saw Peter again. I wince a little as I close my eyes trying to focus more on the instrumental than the lyrics. I start rubbing my shoulder and I feel a phantom pain in my back, but not much.

"What if this is awkward?" I hear Peter say. I open my eyes and look around. He's no where to be found. "I mean I'm awkward, but what if it's weird. This is weird," Peter thinks. I shake my head as if to say I don't want to hear him. "Maybe I shouldn't go? No that's lame. What do I say? Spider stuff? Ooo maybe!"

"No please come," I say to myself.

"No! Fisk is in hiding and Black Cat hasn't been around either. Anyway I'm almost there, not too late to turn around though." I can almost picture him turning around on the sidewalk. I feel myself breathing heavily hoping he comes, but also what if he doesn't.

"Should I tell him not to come?" I think to myself.

"Oh no I hear her!" Peter thinks very loudly. "Shit what of she hears me!" I try to turn my thoughts off in order for it to seem like I can't hear him. He ends up going quiet. I can only imagine he's talking to himself out loud now. Like a crazy man. I laugh to myself at the thought and finish my makeup as there is a knock at the door. I look at the clock confused. It's only 5:55pm. I'm not even dressed yet since I know people wouldn't show up until at least seven. I open my door and Felicia is walking towards the door with her hair half curled.

"Who is it?" I ask her as she looks in the peep hole. She turns around with her eyes big.

"It's Peter," she whispers. I widen my eyes as I look down at my bra and underwear. "Get it!" She whisper yells skipping back to the bathroom. I don't know who is worse off. Me with my makeup half done and no clothes, or Felicia with her hair half done and a little black silk robe with nothing under it. I shake my head and gesture to my half naked body. "Stella I can't have him see me like this!" She whisper yells shutting the door. He knocks again causing me to squeak.

"Just a second!" I yell trying to find something to throw on. I can't find anything that is on my way to the door besides a blanket. I quickly wrap it around me and open the door. "Hi!" I say way too loud. Peter looks at me and his eyes drift down quickly but he makes eye contact just as quick.

"I'm sorry I was worried I'd be late," he says holding one of his backpack straps. I shake my head trying to keep the blanket up.

"No no you are fine come in," I say moving to the side and allowing him in. He walks in and looks around. "Umm, Felicia's in the bathroom, but she uh should be done soonish if you need it," I say pointing to the door but quickly lifting the blanket so it doesn't fall and reveal my lace bra and thong.

"Oh no I'm okay," he says.

"Okay, well, I need to finish getting ready I'll be out in a minute," I say rushing towards my room and the blanket falls a little in the back as I turn and walk in. I grab it quickly and go to shut the door. "Uh just a minute," I say shutting the door. I hear him breath and sit down on the couch.
