A Light At The End Of A Tunnel

Chapter 6

A/N - I am writing this chapter on my phone. So please excuse any errors! Enjoy!

~~

As we walked up the steps to my room, I began to grow embarrassed. This guy owns an Audi and was riding first class. He must have money. And me? I barely have anything. Just came here with what I could save up. What if he leaves because this isn't his taste?

These same thoughts kept bothering me the whole walk up there. When we got to my door, I stopped and took a deep breath. William must of noticed because he looked at me, "Hey, are you alright?"

I looked down, slightly embarrassed. "Well, William, I am guessing in my head that you have a good amount of money because you were riding in first class, and you drive an Audi. And, well, I just moved here. I literally came with nothing. So I'm not sure if you would even enjoy coming in."

"First of all, please call me Will. Second, I would love nothing more than to come in, and have some of this kick ass pizza with you." He gave me a sly smirk.

I looked away to unlock the door as I felt my cheeks starting to burn bright red. I opened the door, letting William go in, as I shut the door behind him.

William went in to the kitchen/dining room and placed the pizza on the counter. I watched him as he looked around. He caught me staring as he looked at me to say something. "It's not too bad here. It's comfy, modern, and at least you still have a flat screen TV." He smiled that dazzling smile that I noticed the very first time we met.

"Yeah. I guess it's not too bad for just getting on my feet." I walked towards the kitchen and started searching the cupboards to see if there was any paper plates anywhere.

To my luck, I found a stack and got 2 plates. I handed one to Will. "Please, help yourself to as many pieces as you want."

"Don't tell me that. I'll eat the whole thing." He chuckled as he grabbed two pieces out of the box.

I smiled at him as I also grabbed two pieces. As I started walking over to the couch to sit down and eat, I remembered that I forgot to rent a movie. "Dang it!" I sat my pizza down on the table.

Will came over and sat beside me as he sat his pizza down. "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to rent a movie. I only have the cable that they provide so I don't know if anything good is even on."

"Well, we will just have to see now won't we?" He reached for the remote, turned the TV on, and started searching for something to watch like he owned the place.

I couldn't help but stare at him as he flicked through the channels. He jaw line was perfectly sculpted to bring out his entire face. His dark brown hair landed right above his eyebrows and it was a little messy from the wind today. His lips looked so soft. I have never seen someone so good looking.

"How about we watch 'The Notebook'?" He asked as he smiled at me.

"I'm down for that. I just didn't know that you would want to watch a movie like this."

He chuckled, and when he chuckled, it sounded so warm. I couldn't help but smile. "I have 2 sisters and I grew up with only a mom, I have experience with these movies."

"The notebook it is then." I smiled at him, but the smile didn't even reach my eyes. He just told me he basically grew up without a father. If only he knew how much I could relate to that. I wish I could just tell him. Have someone to vent too. But, I can't risk reliving my past. Maybe he isn't to be trusted and he will just try and get a hold of him to come get me.

We ate the entire pizza and watched the whole movie. When it was over, he turned the TV off, and started cleaning up the mess.

I looked at him, probably with a hint of confusion on my face. "You don't have to do that. I was planning on getting it after you left."

He smiled at me, and his eyes looked sincere and genuine. "It's okay. You gave me a great time tonight. The least I could do is clean up."

After he was done cleaning up, he came over and checked his phone. "Well, I guess I should get going since it is getting late."

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little sleepy anyway."

"Should we exchange numbers?"

I smirked at him, "Only if you promise to text me."

His grin grew bigger, "I promise."
He handed me his phone and I put my number in it. After I was done, I handed him my phone and he put his number into mine.

I walked him out to the door and opened it for him. He smiled at me and I felt my heart melt, "Till the next time I see you." He leaned in and gave me a slight kiss on my cheek.

My cheeks grew red and I smiled at him, "Goodnight."

He walked out the door and down the steps. I shut the door and locked it.

I walked over to my bed and just sat there. I have no idea who he is. Is there something wrong with enjoying the time I spent with him tonight?

I didn't spend time dwelling on it. I slipped off my sweatpants, and fell into a deep sleep.

William's POV

As I left Violet's house, I couldn't stop thinking about her. What is it about her? I thought to myself. Ever since I seen her on that plane, I couldn't help but want to be near her. I wanted to be with her whenever I could.

I got into my car, and put the seatbelt on. I didn't start the car, though. Not yet. I just closed my eyes and rested my head on the back of the headrest. I rested there and let the picture of her haunt my head.

Her bright baby blue eyes. The way her dimples popped out in the exact middle of both cheeks when she smiled. The way her black pin straight hair just fell right above her waist...

I rubbed my eyes as I started the car. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to run straight back up to her room and keep talking. Unfortunately, I couldn't. I just had to go home, be by myself and soon the nightmares will take over.
