Chapter 7.
Audrey's P.O.V
After I had agreed to go on a date with Paul I had never thought I would end up having a really nice time. He had taken me to dinner, which he had insisted on paying for, and he had actually showed a better side of himself. He had asked a lot of questions about me, and I had also gotten to know a few things about him. After he had driven me home I had even had that strange feeling in my stomach, like butterflies.
Was I actually starting to like him? That's impossible.
I was Monday, two days after our date, and I was staying home from school because I wasn't feeling well. To be honest I could have probably gone to school but I took advantage of the situation because I just hated school in general.
At 3 pm I was sitting in the living room watching some crappy TV-show when I heard a knock on the door. I dragged myself off the couch and made my way to the door. When I opened the door I was surprised to see Paul standing there with a bag in his hand and a concerned look on his face.
"Paul? What are you doing here?" I asked as I let him inside.
"I was going to see if you wanted a ride home from school but your friends said you were sick so I figured I'd come see how you were doing." he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world that he would just come here because I was sick. Was he trying to make me like him more or was he actually concerned for real? I wasn't sure, but it was kinda sweet.
"Oh..." I didn't really know what to say. "Well I'm fine" I said and smiled. He walked in to the kitchen and I followed, a little confused as to what he was doing. He put the bag down on the table and picked a few things up from it. A chocolate bar, some candy and a movie. Was he serious?
I stared at him in confusion but he only smiled a smile that made me all warm on the inside.
"I thought I bring you something that would make you feel better" he explained when I just stared at him with my mouth hanging open slightly. He didn't realize it was because I was so caught up in his smile. I quickly collected myself and smiled back at him.
"That's so sweet of you, but you didn't have to" I said and glanced at the chocolate bar, wanting nothing else than to snatch it up from the table and eat it.
"But I wanted to" he answered, shrugging.
"What movie is that?" I asked and reached for the dvd on the table. As soon as I saw what movie it was I looked back up at Paul, who had a proud smile on his face.
"The dark knight!?" I exclaimed. "That's my favorite movie!"
"I know, you said that at our date the other night" he said, still smiling. Was he amazing or what? Ok, either he was trying very hard to get laid, or he actually liked me.
"Well, no need to waste time, let's watch it. Now." I said and dragged him in to the living room.
I don't know how far in to the movie we were, but suddenly I found myself resting my head against Paul's shoulder. I was too tired to even care and just stayed like that, and what surprised me even more was when Paul wrapped his arm around my shoulders. It all felt so perfect, like we were two puzzle pieces that were supposed to fit together. He was and idiot, sure, but so was I.
After a while I heard the front door open and just like that Paul's arm was gone.
"Audrey! I'm home!" I head my brother yell.
"I'm in the living room!" I yelled back and reached for the remote control to stop the movie, but realized Paul had already done it.
"I should get going" he said and stood up. I was a little upset by his words but stood up as well. I followed him to the door and ignored my brother who looked at me funnily whilst walking past us in to the kitchen.
"Thanks for everything" I said and shot him a genuine smile. He smiled back and the stupid butterflies were back in my stomach.
"No problem. Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"Yeah, a lot" I answered and blushed. Maybe he'd take it as if I was feeling better because he had been here and not because of the candy and the movie? And then he'd think I was a freak and that I was in love with him? It was sort of true, but I didn't want him to know that.
"Great" he said and took a step forward. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged my tightly. I was a little surprised at first but hesitantly hugged him back. He let go way to soon and then opened the door, giving me one last glance before he left.
Wow. I was falling for him. And he better catch me.
Yep. It took a while but here it is! They are getting closer and closer to the goal. Yeah idk what the goal is but yeah... Please review! xoxo
