I couldn't stop smiling. I must look like an idiot but I didn't care. I was on cloud nine. Nothing could dampen my spirits.
"So you seem overly happy. Who are you and what have you done with Erin Prince?" Noah walked over to me.
I opened my locker. "Nothing. I'm allowed to be happy." I frowned as a note fell out of my locker. I knelt down and picked it up.
Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate - the most pure. Ours last night, left them all behind.
I smiled at the note and shook my head. "He's such a dork." I sighed and folded up the note.
Noah nudged me. "Stiles?"
"So where were you yesterday?" I asked. "Did you enjoy your day off?"
Noah nodded. "Yeah I spent it with my dad. We went fishing."
I nodded. "Nice. I'll see you in history." I waved to him and walked into chemistry. I walked past Stiles and leant in. "You're such a dork." I whispered to him and continued on to my own seat.
I glanced at Stiles to see him grinning just like I was. I shook my head and looked down at my notebook and started taking down the notes on the board. The bell sounded and I jumped up packing away my things.
"Hey Buttercup." Stiles leant against my desk.
I smiled. "Hey." I swung my bag over my shoulder.
"So how do you feel about joining me at lunch for an MLT?" Stiles following me out of the classroom taking my hand in his.
"I told you Princess Bride would change your world." I smiled at him. "And yes to the lunch but no to the MLT. I'm not a big fan of mutton."
Stiles grinned. "As you wish." He kissed my cheek. "I'll meet you outside the cafeteria." He waved to me and walked off.
Somebody's Girl
I waved to Stiles seeing him waiting outside the cafeteria. "Hey." I greeted him.
"Hey." Stiles kissed me on the cheek. "Hungry?"
"Starving." I nodded.
Stiles took my hand. "Then I have prepared an amazing feast just for you." He pulled me into the cafeteria and we sat down at a table. "In here I have the perfect lunch." Stiles opened a large tuppa wear box. "BLT sandwiches, no mutton in sight. Tangy cheese Doritos, homemade cookies. Made lovingly by myself I may add. And pink lemonade." He set down a flask.
I smiled. "This is awesome."
Stiles handed me a sandwich. "It's not too much is it?"
"No it's sweet." I shook my head and took a bite of my sandwich. "Oh my god. This sandwich is amazing." I placed a hand over my mouth.
"Why thank you, I do try." Stiles nudged me.
"Hey can I score some of that lemonade please?" I asked Stiles.
"As you wish." Stiles poured me a cup.
"You're such dork." I smiled shaking my head.
Stiles tilted his head to the side. "Yeah but I'm your dork."
"Are you?" I asked.
Stiles nodded. "Yeah. If you want me to be."
I nodded. "I'd like that."
"Me too." Stiles agreed. "So what are you doing tonight?"
"I'm working at the animal clinic until late and then I'm probably going to do my homework and watch a couple of episodes of 90210." I answered. "Don't judge me it's a good show." I pointed at him. "I'm a sucker for teen dramas."
Stiles nodded. "Well could I maybe come over and watch them with you. If I bring dinner."
I blinked. "You're really going to watch 90210 with me?"
"Yep." Stiles smiled. "So what do you say?"
"Okay." I nodded. "Seven good?"
Stiles nodded. "Seven is great."
Somebody's Girl
I checked my phone again that night, walking down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"How late is he?" Mum asked me.
"An hour." I opened the freeze and pulled out the carton of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food. "I'm going to go up to my room and enjoy the company of the most reliable men in my life." I walked back upstairs and shut my bedroom door.
Half an hour later there was a knock on my bedroom door. I paused the episode on my laptop and got up. I opened the door to reveal a flustered Stiles. "I am so, so sorry." Stiles apologised.
I leant against the doorframe and crossed my arms over my chest. "You're an hour and a half late."
"I know. I'm really sorry." Stiles begged.
"You could have called." I tilted my head to the side.
Stiles sighed. "I know, I screwed up big time. Would you believe me if I said it was a matter of life and death?" He asked.
I gave him a small smile. "Okay, lets make a deal. If anything… life or death… happens again on either of our sides. We'll call each other?" I asked.
Stiles nodded. "Deal."
"Come on then. The drama is escalating. Dixon just broke up with Silver." I pulled him over to the bed and we sat down. I hit play and rested my head on his chest.
"So who's who?" Stiles asked.
I explained the characters and caught him up as we watched. We were halfway through episode 15 when my other phone beeped on the bedside table. I sighed and grabbed the phone. I looked down at the text message. A four in the morning run, fun. I shook my head and placed the phone on the bedside table.
Stiles smiled. "You know phones have really advanced since the early two thousands."
"I know. It's just a thing for work." I rolled my eyes.
"At the animal clinic?" Stiles frowned.
I shook my head. "The library."
Stiles looked confused. "Why do you need a phone for the library?" He asked.
"Sometimes Mika asks me to find books for him or go check to make sure no one has broken in or he needs me to go and I take books round to the old folk's home for him." I explained/lied my ass off. I mean what could I say? I get messages giving details on souls I needed to reap? And I mean it wasn't a complete lie. I did do all those things. So why did I feel so guilty?
Stiles nodded. "Cool." There was a brief pause. "Hey do you know Derek Hale?"
I frowned. "Er… Sort of. Why?"
Stiles shrugged. "I just… ran into him today and he mentioned you."
"Oh." I turned my attention back to the screen.
About half an hour later my mum knocked on the door. "Hey kids. Sorry Stiles but it's a school night and it is ten o'clock." She smiled at us.
Stiles nodded. "Yes." He stood up and I followed him downstairs.
"So I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Stiles asked as we stood by the door.
"I'll be there."
Stiles grinned. "Great. Night." He pecked me on the lips.
"Night." I smiled and watched him leave.
