Delilah & Connor

.-~Chapter Eight ~-.

'~Delilah~'

"Look I won't take no for an answer, I don't know what's going on but I'm cheering you up no matter-"

"Wait- what did you just say?"

Connors lip twitches slightly "I said sure"

"Lets go"

I'm sure I look like a fish right now. I gape at him, my eyes wide

Originally when I told the idea to Liam he encouraged me but told me not to get my hopes high.

I beam up at Connor "Well..that's great, let's go", his eyes soften as he gazes at me, reaching behind me, he opens the door and gestures for me to get in.

I smile slightly and get in, while he closes the door and goes to the driver's side.

The ride is filled with a comfortable silence neither one of us tries to break.

I know he needs space, so I'm just offering comfort by being next to him.

After a few minutes we reached the familiar cafe we were in a few days ago.

We get our drinks, him coffee and me hot chocolate. We silently agree on walking to the benches outside by the park.

I let out a sigh as I take a sip from the hot chocolate, warming my insides. I looked around where we were seated, admiring the view.

Tall trees surround us, and a playground was a few feet away from us. We were kind of hidden from view by all the trees around us, there were flowers around our bench as well as roses. The whole place was beautiful and peaceful.

Looking back at Connor I'm struck by his blue eyes that are on me.

"What?" I say smiling

His lip twitches slightly, shaking his head he says nothing for a minute before he replies, "I just..I wanted to say thank you, I needed this"

"You don't have to thank me, are you feeling better?"

He nods "yeah, much better" he gives me a small smile this time.

Beaming up at him I take another sip "I'm glad"

"If you ever want to talk I'll be here to listen okay?"

He seems shocked for a second, before he smiles slightly "Okay" he says nodding "Thank you Delilah"

"Of course"

I look around the park seeing the kids running around I smile before getting an idea

Turning towards Connor again. I try to ignore the fact that he was still looking at me.

"How about we play a game?"

"A game?" He asks hestily

"Mhm, 20 questions"

He raised an eyebrow in response, "what's that?"

I open my mouth to answer before closing it again and frowning "Honestly I don't know, I think I read it somewhere"

Connor turns the other way but not before I see that he's trying not to laugh.

"I think we just ask random 20 questions, what'd you say?"

"Sure"

I beam at him "Okay I'll go first, I take a few seconds before I come up with a question"

"Why do you drink coffee?"

He blinks at me before he smirks slightly "That's your question?"

"Why do I drink coffee?"

I nod "Why on earth would you drink black coffee?" I ask, scrunching my nose
