Unexpected

Ten - Making it true (partially)

She gets out and closes the door. I don't leave until she is in the house and the door is shut behind her.

Once she's gone, I pull out of her driveway and start heading home.

"Stupid motherfucker," I mutter to myself as I drive. "Should've fucking told her. It's not that hard."

I mentally scold myself the entire drive to my house. I go inside and my mom asks how my day was.

"It was fine. I'll be in my room."

"Oh, okay."

I shut my door and drop onto my bed. Just as I do so, in comes Devyn and Ashton. One look, and they know. They always know.

Must have something to do with being triplets.

"You didn't tell her, did you?" Devyn asks, sitting in my desk chair while Ashton stands in my doorframe.

"Nope," I say, leaning back on my bed, putting my arms over my head and groaning. "I'm so fucking dumb."

"No, you're not. You're just nervous," Ashton says. "And you should be. It can be a sensitive matter. And if she says no, that's your ego being stabbed."

"Shut the fuck up," I reply.

"Don't be mad that I'm telling the truth."

"That's why I'm mad. And because she can, and will, say no."

"Don't be so sure," Devyn replies.

"Yeah. There's always the chance she likes you enough to say yes to a date," Ashton pipes up. "Just swallow your pride and ask her. Asking never hurt anyone."

"Okay."

They both leave, and I'm left alone with my thoughts. Eventually I sigh and grab my phone.

Violet Mae POV

After dinner, I'm in my room working on a personal project, when I hear my phone ping. I get up to grab it off my nightstand, and see a message from Instagram.

Shawn: Meet me outside.
Violet: Huh?
Shawn: Please. I'm in your driveway.

Confused, I go to my window and sure enough, there's his car in my driveway. I put my phone down and go outside, walking right past my parents, who are looking at me curiously.

I exit the house and as I do so, Shawn exits his car.

"Hey?" I say, crossing my arms and meeting his gaze. "Why are you back?"

"Because I need to ask you something. I was going to earlier, but I was a chicken," he responds, examining me, reminding me that I had recently changed into my pajamas, which consists on a thin white tank top and dark blue shorts that show off part of my ass.

"What?"

"Go out with me."

My eyes widen and my arms drop to my sides, as I take a step back. "What?"

"Go out with me. Like on a date. Please."

"You're asking me to go out with you?"

He grabs my hand and gets closer to me, making the air around us hot. Really hot.

"Will you go out on a date with me?"

"I-"

"Please. Let me show you how a guy should treat a girl. Let me show you how much I care. Go out on a date with me. You can ditch me afterwards."

"This isn't a joke?"

"I wouldn't fuck with you like that, Violet. I'm not a dick. I was one to you in the past, but I promise that was never my intention."

"You weren't a dick. At least, I don't think so."

There's an awkward silence between us as I think it over, thinking of all mu options.

One date. That's all he wants. One date.

I sigh and smile, nodding. "I'll go out with you. But only one time."

He smiles in what seems to be relief. "That's all I need."

That's the different between him and Jacob. Besides looks and the way they hold themselves. Shawn asks before he does anything, and he shows you his raw emotions. Whether it's joy or anxiousness. He let's you know that deep down, he's still human.

Another chapter done! I've been online all week, but it's okay. I prefer it now. Especially since I'm always anxious when it comes to lunch at school. Bye <3
