RORY’S POVI don’t know how long I had spent starring at Todd like I was looking at a ghost. His words has been repeating over and over in my head with no thoughts attached. It felt like Todd and I had frozen in our spots. His eyes were pleading strongly with me even though his lios had not said any more words since he said he wants me to be his girlfriend. I was thinking of what to say in fear that we would remain in that position for a very long time.So when Todd sighed in preparation for his forth coming words, I was relieved.“I’m sorry. I seemed to have scared you.” He said with guilt clearly showing in his eyes.I shook my head quickly. I did not want him to have the wrong impression of my reaction.“You did not scare me Todd.” I said softly to him. “I do admit that I am thrown off guard but you did not scare me.”His facial features showed a flicker of relief. It was my turn to sigh.“All this is just very hard to believe.” I said genuinely. “It’s sudden and fast and we are
RORY’S POVTodd and I walked in silence at first. He was still holding my hand in his as we walked down the quiet street. I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind but somehow I could not find a way to speak.As we walked, I stole a glance from Todd. He looked like he was deep in thoughts as well. Then just like he had sensed me looking at him, he turned to me.I quickly turned back feeling my cheeks heat up in shyness. I heard Todd sigh and then he stopped walking. Because he was holding my hand, I was forced to stop too. His eyes looked serious and kind of gloomy.“Are you alright?” I couldn’t help but ask when the silence was becoming too much for me.“Not really.” He said and then he led me to an empty roadside bench and we sat down. “We have never had this kind of problem before. You are usually the easiest person for me to talk to and now it feels like we are mountains apart.” Todd said as his finger traced the back of my hand.His words were true and they broke my heart.
RORY’S POV“You are the most beautiful person on this planet.” Todd said to me sighing deeply as he said the last words. I was still looking in to his beautiful blue eyes and he looked like someone that was looking at a most prized possession. I felt so special under his heavy gaze that all the anxiety I had been feeling in my bones had vanished.“Stop joking, Todd. I look crazy.” I said nervously narrowing my eyes as I ran my hand over my hair in an attempt to smoothen it. My hair was left down and for me, it was all bouncy and curly and messy. “No, Candy. You’re perfect.” Todd went on to say and then next he pulled me towards his.His hand slipped around my waist instantly sending an electric jolt through my spine.I could feel my heart pounding heavily in my chest and my body was trembling too.We were standing so close to each other, his hand was on my waist, I had only seen this in my dreams and so it was hard for me to believe that this was happening.“Good morning.” He murmu
RORY’S POV “Are you really going to keep on ignoring his call?” Rosalie asked me as her eyes fell on my phone which was placed on the center table before me. I turned the phone upside down and went on eating my cereal. It was an hour after Leslie’s departure and to say the least she had left me feeling different types of emotions.None of which was positive. Todd on the other has left me a lot of missed calls and text messages. I haven’t responded to any one of them..“Oh Bun! This is getting tiring, don’t you think? You had a great time last night so you should not let Leslie come filling your head with trash.” Rosalie said as she spread jam on the surface of the piece of bread she was holding.“It wasn’t all trash, Rosa.” I pointed out. “Some of the things she said were true.”She was not wrong about the fact that I am a big nerd who should not be with someone like Todd in a romantic light.“When is this craziness going to end? I just don’t get it with you!” Rosalie whined.I
(TODD’S POV) I did not sleep well last night and it was not because I did not feel alright. It was because I felt too exited and too full of anxiety. How could I have a regular night when I had the best night I’ve ever had in my life. Yes, last night was amazing. Rory looked like an ethereal queen and above all, I was able to spend the night by her side, feeling so proud of how beautiful she was. The whole Friday, day and night was totally amazing. On a serious note, it was my best day yet!I wanted so much to call her when I was finding it hard to sleep but I did not want o overwhelm her. So I patiently waited until morning came and it was not too early to call her. But she did not pick up my call or answer any of my text. Maybe she was still asleep, it was a long night last night after all.But I wanted to see her or to talk to her urgently. So, to control my emotions, I decided to go to the gym room for an early morning work out.I spent a solid and sweaty one hour exercising
RORY’S POVI eyed Leslie warily. Not only did she look scary, she looked crazy. But despite the fact that I was feeling intimidated by her, I also could not shake off the annoyance in me.She came to my house to warn me against being close to Todd? My bestfriend?!“And what are you going to do to me if I don’t agree?” I said folding my arms across my chest and assuming a challenging position.I noticed the flash of surprise that flickered in Leslie’s eyes. To be honest, I totally understand it because I too am surprised by my own boldness.But as that flicker of surprise vanished, a sly smile started playing on her lips.“Well, well,….” Leslie said folding her arms as well. “What do we have here? Rory the nerdiest nerd has finally grown some balls!”She clapped and laughed.“You can’t come to my house and order me to stay away from my best friend. I won’t let you treat me in such a demeaning manner.” I said keeping my chin up with confidence even though deep down, all I really wanted
