Love Being By Your Side - A Scottney Story

Chapter 18: Will she say yes?

Courtney's POV

I was staring at Scott wide eyed. He was shocked and his face was red. Honestly mine probably was too.

I'm not sure whether I'm more embarrassed or flustered. That was a COMPLETE accident. Scott got up off of me and helped me up.

He took one of his shoe laces off and tied it into a ring.

"W-will you be my boyfriend? I mean, my boyfriend? Ugh! Me- yours- me boy-. Just, will you go out with me?" He asked, offering me the shoe lace.

"Yes." I smiled taking it.

After I took it, a thought came to mind:

"You just-... You should be careful when it comes to men."

"Mom?"

"It's just. Everything isn't always as they seem."

"I-I know. But-"

"I understand you like him a lot. But a broken heart isn't an easy wound to heal."

I heavily sighed.

"W-we're dating?" Scott said and then cheered.

"A-actually Scott-" I started.

"Wow. I didn't think you'd actually say yes."

"Wait. Scott. I-" I started again but Scott was so caught up in celebrating he didn't even hear me.

"Wow. This is just-"

"SCOTT!!!" I yelled finally getting his attention.

"Hmm.... what is it?"

I heavily sighed and gave him a frown.

"What's the frown?" He asked.

"Well.... I-"

"Wow. You're even pretty when your sad."

"Scott! Could you just listen?!" I snapped.

"Oh. Yeah. What is it?" He said with a smile.

I heavily sighed.

"Um... well.... I can't date you." I told him.

"I- w-what?"

"I can't. You see, I-"

"Woah woah woah woah, wait. You already told me yes!" He said, with a frown.

"I know what I said, but-"

"You accepted my confession and you're cutting me off before we could even start." He glared.

"N-no. That's not what I-"

"So you want to date me?"

"Yes. I mean, no. Well I do, but-"

"Oh. I see how it is. Well, if that's the case I'll take my shoe lace back." He snatched it out my hand.

I felt boiling anger burning inside of me.

"Fine! Go ahead! Because I don't want it! What kind of idiot gives a girl he likes a shoelace?!" I glared.

"Oh, well since I'm such an idiot I guess the project will be easier to do on your own!"

"OH IT WILL BE! I lose brain cells just being around you." I glared.

We both kept a strong glare for about 8 seconds.

"Fine. I-if that's how you feel, then I'm going back home then."

"Fine. Be sure sure to join your pigs in the pin."

"WELL MAYBE I WILL!!!" He stomped.

"GOOD!" I stomped.
