The good girl is changing me

Chapter twenty-five - I left speechless

Chloe's POV:

I don't know what is going on with me lately. I feel like the more I talk with Aaron, the more my want to be with him is getting bigger. I don't know why he asked so many questions on the lunch break two days ago, but he is right that we don't know much about each other. I mean that we have never talked about this. I know that it's not easy to hide a friendship, but what other choice do I have. Maybe I can talk with my parents. They can help me, but I'm not sure will they do it. When they understand what type of person is the boy I like, they won't be satisfied. Why everything has to be so complicated? I am not doing a crime. I just fell for the wrong boy. Well, maybe he is not the wrong one. We'll see how things will go. I don't want to make predictions about something that hasn't happened yet. 

Another Friday and another weekend coming. Sometimes I feel like the weeks are going fast, sometimes that they are like the snails. I guess that it depends on what are you doing and with who you are. I swear that since I started going out with Aaron, time flies very fast. Even when I am with the girls is not like that. I have to admit that for the first time I feel like I am important to someone. Not like I am not for Katy and Kayla, but a boy has never shown so much care. I thought that there was something wrong with me since no boy wanted even to talk with me. Yes, I won't lie that I am a little bit stubborn when it comes to boys, but the truth is that I want to have what the people write in the stories. A boy who will protect you, who always be with you and maybe gets jealous when the other boys are checking you out. 

Something that I have never shared is that I always have liked bad boys. For me, the good ones are too predictable. You know that they will do everything to impress you and make you happy. Bad boys are a different story. They won't admit that they like you, because they don't believe in love, no matter that it's written on their face that they have feelings for you. This type of boy is complicated and you never know what might happen. Probably this is why I get attached so quickly to Aaron and Dani. Well, Dani is not the typical bad boy. Let's say that he is the brain and Aaron the action. 

I woke up and checked my phone for new messages. There was only one and it was from Aaron. Usually, he doesn't text me so early, but I am kind of excited to see what he wants. 

Tonight you are mine. I don't accept no as an answer. If you have plans, cut them off. 

I felt how my cheeks turned into light pink when I read it. Now I wonder what we'll do tonight. The message doesn't say any other information. I guess that I will understand it later. After all, I decide to reply. I don't have any plans, but he doesn't need to know this. 

Ok, I will cancel everything for you. Don't mess up. :)

I read his message again and smiled to myself. I feel that today will be a good day or at least for me. I was about to get up and go in the bathroom when I felt a hand over mine. It was my mom. When did she come here and how I didn't notice her?

- What are you doing here?

- Good morning to you too. 

- Sorry, I'm just surprised to see you here. 

- Well, you were too busy with your phone. Can I know what made you smile so early in the morning?

- It's nothing important. I just saw a funny video. 

- Honey, you are a terrible liar. Is it a boy? I won't tell anyone. 

If I was a terrible liar, the girls weren’t going to believe all the lies, which I told them. Again, this is my mom and she knows everything. I want to tell her, but I don't know will she be able to keep it a secret. I mean, I know that I can trust her, but I am scared that she might not like what she will hear. 

- Won't you tell me?

- There is nothing that you have to worry about. 

- Why don't you want to tell me? Because you are afraid that I won't like him. 

How the heck does she know this? I feel like whatever I say she won't believe me. Maybe I can tell her and please her to don't tell anyone. Especially dad, because he will kill me. 

- Look, I just don't want to get in trouble. Moreover, Katy and Kayla are my friends and I don't want to lose them. 

- What this has to do with the boy?

- If I tell you everything, will you promise me to not tell anyone? Especially dad. 

- Why?

- Promise me and I will tell you. 

- Ok, I won't tell anyone. This will be our little secret. Now tell me who the lucky one is. - she chuckled

- We are not dating so don't get high hopes. I'll tell you the short version of the story. In our school, people were spreading rumors about one boy who I had no idea was. I was angry because they believed everything without knowing was it true or not. One day I decide to be brave and go to ask him are they true or not. Of course, I made sure that no one is in the hall because people hate him and I don't want to become enemy number one in school. We started talking and he wasn't that bad as what people in school say. Well, one talk is not enough to make conclusions and that's why I talked with him again. I had many questions to ask and after some time he finally decided to talk with me and tell me everything. His parents have an office in another town close to ours and since they were going there often, they bought a house. Now they are staying there and he is here alone. It's been like that since he was 13 or 14 years old. I felt sorry for him. With that, I understood why he is doing all these things. Let me tell you that he gets in trouble a lot and has picked up fights. I don't why, but every time when I see scars on his face or that he is hurt, I want to cry. It's like you when I was little and falling down. He doesn't care for himself or any other person, because no one did it for him. Nobody showed him love and care. I felt bad for him because no one deserves this. Like that, we started going out and he was very nice to me. Yes, with the other people he is himself, but not with me. I don't know why, but I like it. His best friend Dani said that it's because he cares about me, but in the beginning, it was hard to believe. Now, I think that maybe he was right. Look, I know that you will be mad, but it's too late. I already was attached to him and I can't walk away. Moreover, if I do it, this will look like I have played with him and his feelings. You have no idea how hard is it for him to be open and share something. He doesn't like to talk about his parents, but after all, he told me the truth. Please don't tell anyone. I don't want the girls to leave me and dad to be mad at me. Please, mom, I am begging you. 

- I wonder what the long version is. - she laughed

- I'm sorry that I hid him and lied to you. Can you forgive me?

- I am not mad at you. I'm just surprised that you care so much for a stranger because this is what he is. You told me that you had no idea who was he. 

- Yes, I have never met him before, no matter that we are in the same town. 

- Look, I won't tell anyone for now, but if your father understands from somewhere else, I can't help you. 

- Thanks, mom. 

- Can I know why were you smiling when I walked in? I'm sure it's not because of a video. 

- No, it's not. It's because of this. - I said and showed her the message from Aaron

- Are you going on a date?

- I don't know. Probably we'll stay at his house or walk somewhere, where no one can see us. 

- If you are happy, I am happy too. Now I'll leave you to get ready. We'll talk when you have more time. 

With that, she left. I can't believe that I told mom everything and that she accepted it so calmly. Wait, was this my mom? Now seriously. I don't know what Aaron and I will do tonight, but I won't lie that I am excited. I quickly got ready and went for breakfast. When I finished it, I walked to school. One thing is sure, that I won't tell the girls about this. 

I couldn't concentrate at all. My mind was busy with guesses about tonight. I secretly pulled out my phone and texted him to see will he tell me something more. The only response that I got was that he will tell me later and that I need to relax and leave everything to him. I hope that he knows what he is doing. I am glad that the teachers didn't ask me any questions, because I had no idea what we were doing. Why he has to send me this? Now I can't think about anything else. Katy asked me what is going on, but I just said that I have things in my head. Nothing new. 

After school, I walked home. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat in the living room to watch a movie. Usually, I eat this for breakfast, but I was hungry. Soon I received a message and it was from Aaron. I got happy and opened it. 

I will wait for you one street before your house at 7 pm. Don't be late. 

For some reason, I got very excited and let a small stream. Luckily, no one was at home. 

I will be there. 

Today is my lucky day. I still don't know what we'll do, but whatever it is, it's better than staying at home. It's only 3 pm so I have whole four hours to get ready. I will finish with my movie and then I'll start with myself. I am not a person who needs much time to be done so one hour should be enough. 

I must have fallen asleep because I felt a hand on my shoulder. Someone was shaking me. It was my dad. I looked at him surprised and he smiled at me. 

- What time is it?

- Around 5:30 pm. Why?

- Because I have to go out at 7 and I'm not ready. I'll go. 

Before he could say anything, I went into my room, straight into the shower. After thirty minutes I was done. Since today I am in good mood, I can dress a little bit better. I put on a white tank top on which says "You are my angel", blue tight jeans, and black sneakers. Usually, I let my hair down, but today I put it in a ponytail and curled it. I don't have make-up, because I don't use it. The only thing that I have is a cherry chapstick. I put a little bit on and walked downstairs. It was 6:45 and I decide to go out. 

I walked to the end of the street and saw Aaron waiting for me. I hope that I am not late. I tried to be on time. He looked at me with a smile and then checked me out. I chuckled to myself but didn't say anything. 

- If you are done checking me out, we can go. 

- It's not my fault that you look like that. 

- I'm glad that you like it. - I said blushing

I asked where are we going, but he didn't tell me. Soon we arrived in front of one building. I have never come here before. I looked at the inscription on top of the main door and it said "planetarium". This will be interesting. First, because I have never been here, and second because I didn't expect him to like a place like this. We walked in and he went to buy tickets. After ten minutes, one man came and walked us to a room. He said that it will be a small presentation and then we are free to walk around. I won't lie that it was very interesting. Astronomy was not my favorite subject as a part of Physics, but I might change my mind. While we were listening, Aaron wrapped his hand around me and I snuggled. 

After the small presentation, we started walking around. The first room in which we went was with the planets. It was so pretty. All of them were in the exact same order as in the space and they looked pretty big, no matter that compared to the originals, they are like ten thousand times smaller. Probably they have lights inside because every planet was glowing in the dark. How I have never come here? That is definitely a big loss for me. 

The last room in which we went was the moon with the stars. This was breathtaking. I like the moon a lot and what people have made here is incredible. The stars were also very pretty. Everything here was like a dream. A dream from which I don't want to wake up. I turned around to show Aaron one of the stars, but he wasn't there. 

- Aaron, where are you? 

There was no answer. The moon stopped glowing. Maybe something has happened with the lights, but the stars were working. Then I noticed that they are starting to order. This doesn't look like part of the presentation. Soon they formed into a question. It says "Will you go out with me?". I stepped back and bumped into someone. I turned around and saw Aaron. Did he do all of this? 

- Well, what do you say?

I left speechless. I don't know what to tell him. Of course, that I want to go out with him, but I feel like the words can't escape from my mouth. 

- It's ok if you say no. At least I will know that I have tried. 

- Yes! - I finally managed to say

- Yes what? That you agree with what I just said.

- Yes. I will go out with you. - I replied with tears in my eyes

- Really? You will do it. 

- I will do it. You are the only person with who I want to do this. - I said and he hugged me

When we pulled apart, he looked at me with a smile on his face. A smile that I want to keep only for myself. I was about to say something, but before I could do it, he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. I have been waiting for this so long and now it's finally happening. In that moment, the lights on the moon went back on and I realized that we were standing under it. I felt like I am in a fairytale. Everything was so magical that I didn't want this to end. I could feel his smile through the kiss. It was saying all the things, which he will never tell me. 

Soon we pulled apart and he looked at me. 

- I am very happy that you accepted. 

- How could I say no to this. 

- If you liked this, wait for our date. I will make it even better. 

- Then you better do it quickly, because I don't know how long I can wait. - I said and he laughed

Later he walked me home. I wished that he could kiss me again, but instead I received only a cheek kiss. It's better than nothing. To be honest, I didn't expect this. What a day it was. Probably the best day of my life. I have never been this happy and from no one else than the bad boy. I don't know how he thought of this, but it was amazing. No one has done such a thing for me and I will never forget it. This was like a dream and I am so happy that it happened. I hope that nothing bad will happen and that we can be together. I don't want to be with anyone else.
