The Delicate Girl Mate novel Chapter 13

When I finished the dishes and cleaning the living room, I went into Ben's room to tuck him in and tell him goodnight, as it was around nine now. When I made sure he was sleeping, after staying inn his room for a solid fifteen minutes, I made my way to my room. Around ten-thirty, I finally succumbed to sleep.

Nothing particularly exciting happened in the following days. Everyday, Jordi would politely ask if we would like a ride home and I accepted each time. I didn't go to his house like I did that first time, but each time we spent together, I felt my trust in him growing. I felt completely safe with him. I felt happy, genuinely happy.

A few times Taylor joined us, and I honestly loved his company too. I felt like he was my older brother and I was grateful for him always reassuring me that I could trust him. It made our friendship grow as well.

Right now, I was walking with Ben over to Jordi's Camaro. Today is an early dissmissal day, so we got out a few hours before we would normally be let out. It was a surprise to me. Classes were short today and when I asked Taylor at lunch why the day was going by so fast, Kelsey jumped in and explained about us getting released a few hours early for staff meetings after school. Color drained from my face when I realized I had to go home earlier today and Jordi offered for me and Ben to go hang out at his house until the normal time we would normally be home. I was hesitant but eventually gave in when both Tay and Jordi gave me the puppy dog eyes. You can't exactly blame me, I mean, they're hot.

I come out of my thoughts as a certain hot guy comes to stand in front of me, taking my free hand in his. He pecked me on my cheek before opening the doors for both myself and Ben. Ben hopped in the back while I sat down in the passenger seat, Jordi closing my door for me like he always does and then jogging around to his side and reconnecting our hands.

Now, don't go crazy. Jordi and I are becoming closer every day and he's starting to be more touchy, but in the good way. Like holding hands, pecks on my cheek, forehead kisses before I get out of his car sometimes, and things like that. I don't mind because I trust him and I really like him. He's my first crush ever, and I am so glad it's him. He's incredible. Everytime he touches open skin, I'm not afraid of him, I enjoy his touch. He leaves trails of sparks wherever he touches, as clichè as it sounds. but it's true, and I love the sparks he leaves behind.

When we reached his house, after a ride of silently holding hands while casually replying to Ben once and a while as he spoke about his day, Jordi came around to my side and opened the door for me. What a gentleman. He was too late to open the door for Ben, the reason being that Ben has already shot out of the car and is already waiting for us at the door. i chuckled and let Jordi lead the way up the path and into the house.

"Sissy, can I go play?" Ben asked.

"Of course. What is it?" I looked over to the beautiful boy sitting next to me, or should I say man? I started to worry. Is this when he tells me he doesn't want to be friends anymore? I knew it was coming but I hoped it wouldn't be this soon.

He looked nervous. "Well I really like you. I mean really really like you. I want to get to know you and spend more time together. I may be out of my mind, but all I know is that I want you to be mine."

I released a breath I didn't realize I was holding in. Now I was the nervous one. He liked me? "Y-You like me?" I couldn't process this. Someone actually liked me?
