Waiting Up For You ch10

---------------------Mello's POV-------------------------



I lightly knocked on the door to Crystals apartment. I could feel the butterfly's fluttering in my stomach and my heart twisting in my chest. "What am I doing here? Alone! with no parental guidance? (aka Matt) "This is stupid, I'll only make more of a fool of my self." I shook my head, angry at my self. Then turned to walk back to the awaiting vehicle. I shoved my hands into my pockets and started walking slowly. "I'll just tell her I ca-"

"OH! Wait! Don't go! Im sorry, I'll be ready in just one minute. Just come make your self at home." She turned in the door way and ran back inside.

I stood there looking like an idiot I'm sure. "Oops."

I walked slowly.....very slowly, to the now open door. I peeked in, then slowly sneaked around the door, Cat-like. It seemed Danielle wasn't around. I was slightly comforted by this. I sighed lightly starring at her kitchen. It was huge! I didn't notice how high the ceiling was until I noticed the sunroof. It was beautiful! with white cupboards and pinkish-tan granite counter tops. The wood work was a soft tan and the floor was a tile, the same color as the counters. The Sun shinned right into the cute cooking area. Reflecting all the polished granite and cooking ware. There hung a bronze pot and pan wrack above the island counter in the middle of the kitchen. There was just about every utensil you would need.

I couldn't help but walk into it. I wondered how I didn't notice such a beautiful sight before. Must have been so freaked out, I really didn't notice actually anything. Besides Her.

My hand swept across the counter space and my shoes made a soft tap noise as I stepped on it. I slid my finger tips over the pot and pan wrack, and the stove surface.


"You like my kitchen?"

"eh...!"  I tripped over myself, crashing my backside into the island and my head into pot and pan wrack. The sounds of pots and pans clashing into one another, lightly rang in the open space.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." Crystal ran over to my side and lightly helped me find my balance.

"Are you ok?" She asked, with worry in her voice.

"I'm sorry, You just caught me off guard. I guess." I laughed lightly, while rubbing my neck. "I hope I didn't destroy your kitchen. Its so beautiful! You must love cooking in here." I said, while admiring my surroundings.

"I sure do! I love my little home." She said through a big smile.

"Would you like to sit down? Or did you want to head on out?" She asked, gesturing to the sofa.

"Oh, I haven't actually thought that far ahead." I admitted. "Where would you like to go?"  I asked, as I followed Her to the comfy chair.

We sat down into the squishy padding. I watched her for a few seconds before she spoke.

"I haven't thought about it either." She laughed, while scooting closer to me.

I could feel the heat rise back up into my cheeks, so I looked back towards the kitchen.

I watched, with a devious smile as He turned away with a light blush on his cheeks. There was an short silence. but it felt nice, so I took the moment to just watch.

He held his hands together tightly on his lap and hunched slightly. He kind of reminded me of a scared puppy. Which was cute. He randomly looked at me, but looked away quickly. "Am I that scary?" I laughed to myself.  I couldn't help but notice how bright his eyes were. Like the color of the ocean.

"You have pretty eyes." I finally said braking the silence.

My heart fluttered, when He turned, to look me straight in the eyes. There was a softness in them. Something sweet that made me want to hug him. He just seems so.....unsure. Thats it! He acts very unsure of himself. Poor fella. Maybe I could share some of my out going-ness.

"Thank you." He finally said, still looking at me....with those eyes. sigh...

"I guess..... your beauty is reflecting off of my eyes and making it seem your beauty belonged to me." He said quietly, looking at me then back to his hands then once back up to me.

"Oh I really like him." I thought to myself. a smile growing on my face. I wonder If I locked him in here, no one would ever come looking for him? yah just a thought.hehe

I scooted closer to his side, and we sat with hands in laps, eyes to hands.and we stayed like this for a few seconds. I chewed on my bottom lip before bravely saying..

"We can just stay here if you want?"
He looked at me,and thought for a moment then nodded his head.

"Ok, Could I possibly use your kitchen?" He asked, with a cute forced back smile.

I nodded slowly like him, but smiled a devious smile then laughed.


-------------------------------------------------------------------


We ran to the grocery store that was about 4 blocks from my apartment building. Laughing and chasing each other down the block. Random hopeless victims, were bumped into as we giggled are way down to the store. We quickly grabbed what we needed, which was anything we saw. And threw it in the cart or at each other. Holding back laughter while employees angrily watched us through the isles. We ended up getting supplies for a good ole fashioned spaghetti dinner with a salad. Cause its easy, fun, and yummy!  We walked back to the apartment this time, not running over people. Just chatting and swinging our grocery bags to and fro. I enjoyed every minute of it. We could have a conversation with out any awkwardness. It was easy. I could laugh just cause it felt right, and I felt so free around him.And even though, I only really knew this blond, sweet, uncertain, puppy for 2 days. I couldn't help but think I was falling for him.

The dinner turned out partly on the plates, partly on the floor...... and on us. "Do one to others." I guess, I had it coming. You cant get away with pouring noodles down your partners shirt with out that person getting revenge. So Thus the mess began.

Danielle informed she was home, and walked into the disaster of a kitchen and stared with big round eyes.  We both were on the floor surrounded by noodles, sauce, meat, herbs, and salad ingredients, laughing our heads off covered in the delicious food.

"II...I'm going to get r...ready for bed." Danielle stuttered, and walked to her room lightly closing her door behind her.

After we cleaned up the kitchen and our selves. Which he was still covered with red sauce on his shirt. and a little on his pants. He joked, it wasn't fair that I could change so I informed that I would stay messy as well. But ended up changing any ways cause by the look on my face, probably told enough to let him know. I wanted to change. So we both now sit on the soft sofa, me in my white, long sleeved, pants and shirt silk pajamas, and him in his stained jeans and a T-shirt that he wore under the button up. Just eating the remains in silence, every now and then saying a word or two. The sky was dark now, only little stars now popped out from the black pool. The only light in the living room was a few glowing candles, stars, and the light from the tv that was almost silent. I twirled my left over noodles with my fork. Until they started falling apart.

"Want me to clean up?" He asked, looking from my plate to me.

"Oh I can do it later." I said, smoothly. I was getting sleepy from long crazy day. I laid my plate onto the coffee table beside the couch, and picked up my little white kitty and set her in my lap. Petting her long soft hair.  He laid his plate down like me, and searched for a comfy spot on the couch, facing me slightly.

"I had lots of fun today....still am." I cooed, while she purred in my lap.

He closed his eyes, then breathed deeply before saying. "I had lots of fun too. The best actually." He smiled, and looked at me."

I smiled back, but broke the connection by looking down at white fur.

"Oh wow! Is it really that late? I better head home now, before Matt gets worried about no one cooking for him tomorrow." He chuckled, at the last part of his sentence.  Then slowly got up from the sofa and grabbed his dirty shirt. I stood too, laying my kitty on the sofa lightly. We both walked to the door in silence. Before he walked off, He turned and sweetly took my hand, and kissed it lightly. Like I would brake. He looked up to me then smiled kindly.

"Thank you." He whispered, before walking to the stairs.
