Chapter 8.
*KATIE'S POINT OF VIEW*
What did I just do? I just invited a guy back to my place. Since when did I ever do things like that? This time last week I couldn't even stand in a public place for too long!
What if he gets the wrong idea? What if he thinks I want...y'know. No, Toby isn't like that. What am I worrying about? I trust Toby. In fact...I think I have more than just 'like' feelings for him. I think...
I think I love him.
We eventually reached my humble home. I unclipped my seatbelt, opened the car door and gulped. "You can do this Katie" I told myself. I unlocked my door and went through in to the hallway; turning on the light. Toby followed behind and eyed the inside of my house as if he was a little child in a candy shop.
"Wow" Toby said smiling, "you have such a nice place! It is all very neat. Much more organised than mine". "What can I say?" I explained to him, "I have a lot of free time on my hands".
I walked in to my bedroom and Toby lingered in the door way not sure what to do. "You can come in you know; I'm just going to get you a duvet and pillows" I assured him. I went over to my wardrobe and reached in to the top shelf of it to retrieve what I was looking for.
"What happened to your arms?"
I instantly halted in my movements and stopped breathing. Moments later I suddenly remembered to breathe again and let out a sigh. I dropped my head on my arms which were held above me and tried to think despite the fact my mind was now swimming.
I decided to ignore what Toby said and hope he would get the picture and forget what he said too. I pulled out a duvet and pillows from the wardrobe and dumped it on my bed. "These will be yours" I rushed "I will pack them up now and give them to you then I must get to bed because I am really tired and you know after everything I just want some rest in my own bed and-".
Toby interrupted. "Katie. Please. Please tell me what happened". I dropped my weight on to my bed and looked down at my feet. Toby gently placed his hand on my arm. His nails were slightly dirty. "Please Katie. I care about you. Please tell me".
I leaned back on my bed and pulled my knees to chest; hugging them. Toby perched down on the edge of my bed and watched my every movement with fascination.
I guess this was my time to shine.
*AUTHOR'S NOTE* ooooh; what a cliff hanger! I know some of you will be annoyed I left it at such a cliff hanger but I want to drag this out as much as possible :3. But no worries- the next chapter will explain EVERYTHING and be MUCH longer!
Please review. ^-^
