Awkward

Chapter 10 Coffee and Kisses in the Rain

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I slammed my fist onto the snooze button and pulled the duvet back over my head.

10:30 was way too early for a Sunday morning.

But if I didn't get up right now, I'd miss my date with Chad.

Okay, firstly, I was probably going to be late whether I got up right now or not; and secondly, it wasn't really a 'date'…I just enjoyed calling it that in my head.

I got out of my lovely bed, rubbing my eyes groggily.

Yes, I had dreamed of Chad last night, which means I should have been all happy and fresh this morning. But, no. Every time I got near him in my dreams, Jenna was always there, making out with the love of my life.

And he might not love me back.

That sentence came after every thought that entered my head.

He might not love you.

He might not love you.

I gritted my teeth and applied a little makeup.

I didn't need Tawni for this one…No need to wake her up at this ungodly hour for her to do my hair and makeup. Plus, I didn't want to endure the wrath of the grumpy blonde so early in the morning.

After I finished, I went to my closet and went through my clothes.

I held up a lace cheetah-print tank, and quickly discarded it.

I started to look deeper.

Made me look preppy.

Made me look like I'm going clubbing.

Made me look stupid.

Made me look-ooh…Maybe this would work…

I pulled out a loose teal and white striped sweater. It had three-quarter sleeves so it wouldn't be too hot in the middle of July. I picked out a matching teak skirt that went right above the knees, and teal flats.

I put it all on, and then looked in my full-length mirror. I twirled my skirt, watching my reflection do the same.

I smiled and looked at the time. I gasped as it read 12:30.

I ran into Starbucks, ten minutes late. I spotted Chad sitting at a table for two, and rushed over.

"Hey, sorry I'm late," I stated breathlessly.

He smiled. "Its okay, Sonny," he answered, sounding a little awkward.

It was quiet for a bit, and I fidgeted in my seat nervously.

"You wanna get some coffee?" Chad asked quietly.

I smiled and nodded eagerly, my pesky bangs falling into my eyes. I sighed and swept them away, but one stubborn strand stayed in my way. Chad leaned over and gently pulled it away. His fingers barely brushed my forehead as he did so, causing me to blush.

We stood up and Chad ordered a black coffee and I ordered a hot chocolate/coffee blend because I hated coffee straight.

We walked back to our table and took our seats. Chad looked me in the eyes.

"Sonny?" he whispered, chewing on his lower lip.

Gosh, he was so adorable when he did that…

"I-I thought about it and…"

I nearly passed out from holding my breath so long.

"I…I…found your purse on my couch at home…and…and…you left your diary in it-"

"WHAT?!" I yelled, earning stares from other customers.

But I didn't care.

"I-I opened it and saw my name…I couldn't stop reading…I know everything, Sonny," he continued, his face looking pained. He was holding his coffee mug so tight, I could see his knuckles turning white.

I froze. Everything?!

Oh. My. Gosh.

He knew everything. How I felt about him, how I felt about the kiss, EVERYTHING.

I closed my eyes, and leaned back, calming my breath. I had nothing to say to him. Nothing.

Except that he was a total snoop for reading my diary. But he already knew that.

Chad slowly and carefully pulled something out from beside him.

"Here's your diary," he whispered, handing it to me.

I snatched it away, hugging it close to my cheek.

It was quiet some more after that; I refused to look him in the eyes.

"I think we should…go for a walk…its stuffy in here," Chad finished.

I sighed lightly and mentally slapped him.

"Alright," I agreed reluctantly, grabbing my bag and putting this diary into it.

A few minutes later, Chad and I were taking a strole in the nearest park.

He still wasn't telling me what he wanted.

I wondered if the diary made any difference.

I just wanted to scream: "TELL ME ALREADY!" but I bit my tongue and kept walking patiently beside him.

All of a sudden, we stopped, and Chad took my hand in his.

He stared into my eyes, and I stared into his blue ones, our hearts racing against each other's chests intensely.

I could feel him tighten his fingers around mine, and started to lean in. He pulled me in closer by my waist.

When our lips touched, sparks flew and fireworks exploded.

CHAD WAS KISSING ME! CHAD WAS KISSING ME!

I whooped for joy inside my brain and stepped closer to his body, wrapping my arms around his neck. I tangled my fingers in his blonde hair and smiled mid-kiss. Our lips molded together heatedly and Chad ran his thumb over my jaw

Then, there was thunder overhead. And the sky fell.

Fabulous.

I hadn't realized the clouds above us as we walked out of Starbucks a few minutes earlier.

We stepped away from each other, not looking away. Chad ran his hand over my damp hair, rivulets of water running down his cheeks.

"I do love you, Monroe," he breathed.

I grinned and smash my lips onto his once more.

DA DA DA DA DA DA!
