Monday, ew. I hate Monday's. They drag on forever. I am not a morning person, but on Monday's I am really not a morning person. I looked at the clock. "Why does it seem I have been here for hours and it's only been a few minutes," I asked myself. I glared at the clock thinking of ways to speed up time. "BOO!" I jumped a few feet in the air.
"Jesus, Poo. You scared the hell out of me!"
Tabby just rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She sat down beside me. It was first block, English. Tabby, Alexia, and I all shared the class. They are always asking me to help them, English being my best subject. I am a book nerd to say the least. Tabby got out her phone and was texting vigorously. The tapping of her fingers annoyed me.
"Would you please refrain from being so annoying this early in the morning? On a Monday none the less," I said irritably. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, but thankfully put her phone away. Then started the tapping of a pencil from behind me.
I groaned and hit my head off the desk. "Please," *HIT* "Stop" *HIT* "with the tapping!!!" *HIT* Alexia stopped thankfully, but then a few second later she was hitting her foot on the back of my chair. " Oh for the love of god!" Alexia and Tabby both laughed. They are so annoying. Some times I wish I was truly a loner with no friends. After English I had a free period in the library. I decided to text Zander to see what he had this block. I text him a simple hello and put my phone in my bra. That is my favorite hiding spot. Can't lose much in those fun bags of mine. I decided to start on my English essay.
I was half way done when I got a reply from Zander. "Hi love! What's up?" Have I ever mentioned how I adore being called love? No? Well, I just did then.
"What do you have this block?"
I got a reply instantly. "Free period with Mr. Williams o.O"
" What is with the face?"
"He is a weirdo!! Anyway, why did you want to know?"
"See if you can come to the library!!! I have free period too and I am bored. :("
"Neato! Be there in five ;)"
"Yay!!!! My saviour! <3"
With in the next few minutes I saw Zander strut through the doors. He came straight to me and flopped down. "Saviour huh?" He teased.
"Oh you! I was really bored," I laughed it off. The truth is I wanted to talk to him about what happened last Friday. He shrugged his shoulders.
"So, whatcha wanna do? Ya know, now that the almighty Zander has arrived, " he winked. I rolled my eyes and shook my head at him.
"Well," I started, " we could just talk. I have something in mind. We could talk about our date."
He nodded, " I knew you would want to." All joking was out of him. He had a serious face on and may I just say playful bubbly Zander is hot, but serious Zander? HUBBA HUBBA!!
"Let's start with your payment," I raised and eyebrow, " A kiss? I am not a hooker mister! That was a complete and utter sign of disrespect. Kissing me, as a form of payment the nerve of such a thing!" I poked his shoulder, " I expected more of you." I then sat with my arms crossed and my nose in the air in a fake stance of anger.
"Uh oh." I looked at him. "Oh no, it can't be." I gave him a questioning look. "What on earth is he going on about?" "Serenity, I'm sorry you have to see this." He came at me fingers bent like a claw and began tickling me.
"OMG STOP!" I said between laughs. I felt my power rising. "DAMN IT!" "Zander, please stop. I am serious. You need to stop," I said as calm and serious as I could, he was still tickling me. It flared and I tensed ready for him to drop dead. He didn't.
"It won't hurt me. It can't," he said after he released me finally. I shook my head.
"I- how- who are you?"
He sighed. " It is about time I started being honest with you princess, but not here." He took my hand and grabbed our things in the other. " Princess? That is an odd nickname." He started leading me out the doors of the school and off campus.
"Where are you taking me. Zander, what are you doing?" I tried to yank my arm free. He had a good grip. "Zander, you are scaring me stop." He stopped.
He looked into my eyes. So plain and boring compared to those gorgeous blue's. "I apologize. I didn't mean to scare you." He released my arm. "Can we go to your house? My car is just a bit away. We need to talk." I nodded.
"Okay, but you could have just asked instead of dragging me about. I can walk on my own you know." He laughed.
"I will keep that in mind."
We walked to his car. The whole ride home was awkward. There was a thick silence and disturbing feeling hovering in the air. I felt as if my life was about to change forever. When we arrived at my house no one was home. "Odd. Grandma should be here." I felt Zander take my hand. "They will be back shortly. I called for them." I raised my eyebrow and took my hand back.
"You are seriously freaking me out. What is going on here? What did you need to tell me?"
He looked conflicted. As if he was having an inner debate on to tell me or not. "We should wait until they come back," he said at last. I let out a groan and ran a hand through my hair. I am not known for my patience.
"Well, since you 'called for them' how long do you think they will be?" He shrugged his shoulders.
"An hour or so."
"An hour! What are we suppose to do for an hour?" Again, he shrugged. Then a thought hit me. "OH MY FUCKING GOD!" I screeched so loud he winced.
"What?"
"I am going to be killed! You need to go outside and sit on the porch or something. They are really protective. If they come back and see me with you alone in the house I am going to be sooooo grounded!" I was pacing as I explained my worries. He laughed, but coughed to cover it up.
"They won't mind I promise. It does my heart good to know that they have protected you against other advances though."
"You are talking so weird. Oh, well. I guess if they had a problem they would have said something when you 'called for them'. What does that even mean?"
"All your questions will be answered in time. While we wait, what would you like to do?"
"You." I sighed at my thoughts. "Yeah, like he would want me.." I shrugged my shoulders. "Whatever. Doesn't matter to me. Wanna play some Xbox?" He nodded.
"Sounds like a plan." He stood up.
"You aren't going in my room."
He scrunched up his face. "Why?"
"Because I wouldn't be able to control myself," I thought. "Because I said. Now sit." He put his hands up in surrender and sat down. I honestly wish I would have let him come to my room. I gathered up my Xbox and grabbed a few games and headed back to the living room. I threw him the games. "Pick out a game while I set this up." I hooked it up, but it wasn't working. "Stupid piece of technology," I muttered under my breathe.
"Here," he gently pushed me to the side, "let me try." It took him 10 seconds tops then it started right up. I glared at the console.
"Traitor." Zander just shook his head at me and smiled. I poked him in the chest. "Ya know? It's not nice to make me look bad in my own house." He booped my nose. Literally booped it. He said boop and all. "How rude!" That made him laugh.
"You are so adorable." I felt heat rising in my cheeks. "Awe! How sweet you're blushing."
"I am not!"
"Are to."
"Nuh uh!"
He laughed and brushed my cheek with his thumb. "Yes, you are love."
" Why did he have to go and call me love?!" I felt my cheeks go even redder. I looked to the floor. He was closer than I remembered. "I like those shoes. They are nice shoes." He took a step closer.
"Serenity? Look at me please?" I shook my head no.
"Please love?" I groaned.
"No, you are just going to make me blush more."
"Maybe I like it when you blush."
"Maybe i like it when you blush," I mimicked him in a girly voice. He chuckled and place his finger under my chin and raised my head to meet his eyes. "That was terribly cliche," I said in my normal voice.
He shook his head at me. "You sure are something." He was smiling at me and searching my face. "Can I ask you something," he asked while placing one hand on my cheek and the other on my neck.
"I swear on everything holy and just if he kisses me I may die instead of him. Well, I guess my power doesn't hurt him so I would be the only one in danger of dying. Someone, especially someone like Zander, kissing you to death. Yeah that sounds like a good way to go. If I died right now I would die happy. Did I tell Tabby what I wanted at my funeral? I can't remember. I wonder if I will become a ghost. I can haunt people! Oh I am so haunting Niall Horan. Yum!" I was snapped out of it from a deep laugh. I shook my head to clear the thoughts. "I'm sorry. I forgot the question."
"I hadn't asked it yet," he said trying to hide him laugh. "Serenity." He composed himself. "Serenity, may I kiss you?"
My heart skipped a beat, sped up, stopped, and exploded all at once. I swallowed hard. I didn't trust my voice so I nodded. He smirked. "The Irish bastard. He knew he was making me nervous."
"Don't be afraid to actually enjoy it okay? Your power can't hurt me." I nodded. He started to lean in. I could feel his breathe on my face. His nose brushed mine. He paused just before his lips touched mine. My heart was racing. I could feel him smile. I could jsut tell he was enjoying the effect he has on me. I sighed.
"For the love of God Zander. If you don't kiss me right now I swear.." I didn't get to finish. The door opened and Zander jumped back. "Are you fucking serious!"
"We are here. Is it time?" My grandma said as she walked through the door.
"What happened to an hour or so? It has been like 15 minutes!" My question was ignored.
Zander cleared his throat. "Uhm, yes. I believe it is." He was blushing. I evilly laughed in my head. A small giggle passed my lips though. Everyone looked at me. Only Zander's eyes full of knowing. He gave me a look that said, "This isn't over." Then what my grandma said registered.
"Wait. Time for what?" They all three looked at me. My grandma was a bit sad. My grandpa didn't seem to have any emotion. He rarely does. No on answered me. "Hello!?!" I was getting impatient.
My grandma stepped forward and held my face between her hands. "It's time to meet your Mother and Father."
