FEGG - G5 - Cece- Chapter 8

 What didn't I see the next morning if it wasn't Goodwin.

I stepped out of the bed. "What are you doing here? And how did you get in?" I asked.

Goodwin looked away. "Before you talk, I think you'll need to change clohtes. I will not be able to look at you before that."

I looked down at my pajamas. I only wore a bra and panties. I blushed. "I'll be right back.."

 When I had switched clothes, I walked out again. "So, what are you doing here? Isn't it kinda rude to break into someone's house?"

 "Yes it is, I'm sorry." He said and grinned.

I was starting to get annoyed. Who did he think he was? He just followed me everywhere and he even forced me to go out with him once!

 "You know." I said. "I'm starting to getting tired of you. You can't just break into my house and then expect me to accept that."

 "Yeah, I said I was sorry..."

"You say so, but then you just do it again!"

"I've never done anything again. I haven't broke into your house before, have I?"

I stared at him. Well that was true... But it felt like he had done that a couple of times now... He should know that I didn't just talk about my house! 

 "I need to eat breakfast, I'll go to work in one hour." I said and turned my back to him.

"Hey I'm sorry!" he said again but I didn't answer him.

 Of course he followed me out and sat down on the only other chair at the table. 

Damn why did I have two chairs?

 "I don't know what you have against me." Goodwin said and his voice sounded sad.

 I ate my ice cream, best breakfast ever, and considered if I should answer or ignore him.

"You shouldn't eat just ice cream as breakfast."

 I glared at him. "You know, I can eat whatever I wanna eat." I knew I just sounded like a stubborn child.

He raised his eyebrows. "If you say so."

My heart stopped for a minute. I wasn't prepared for such a short response. For a few seconds I studied his face. Was he finally tired of my rude way to respond to everything he said?

 But while I was sitting there, thinking of that, Goodwin broke the silence. "What do you say about another date with me today, sweetheart?"

 I sighed. "Sorry. As I said I'm going to work now."

I rose up quickly before he could respond.

But I was too slow. "Great I'll pick you up when your job ends!" he said.

I ran down the stairs, hoping that I left him thinking that I hadn't heard him.

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

 Goodwin was waiting for me, just as he said. I wore a short, short, tight dress. I didn't wore that for him, I needed to have that for the meeting I was at, at work.

 He whistle. Like he couldn't make everything worse.

"You look beautiful! I knew you would dress up for me sometime!"

 I blushed and pulled down the dress over my thighs a bit.

"Too bad I didn't chose that one for you."

He just smiled. Oh damn, that smile was so annoying. But at the same time, it was really cute somehow...

 But this time he didn't need to force me to come with him. I didn't feel like wasting my energies on coming up with bitchy responds to him. He always won anyway.

 The place he took me to was beautiful! I had never been there before.

But there was no other people there than just I and he...

 "You aren't going to rape me or something?" I asked anxiously.

 "Are you still thinking that I'm some kind of mean creep?" he asked with a laugh.

"Why yes... You're pale as a ghost and you don't like the sun, and you've been following me since the day we met."

For the first time, Goodwin didn't answer me. For once, I won some kind of argument against him!

 "Well.. I guess I am a creep then..." he said and I grinned.

 "But would a creep give you flowers?"

Suddenly a bouquet of pink roses were under my nose.

 I was so surprised! I took the bouquet and smelled the flowers. "Aww they're beautiful!" I said.

 I didn't really think for a few minutes there, because the next second, I gave Goodwin a hug. "Thank you, that was like the nicest thing you've done for me so far."

He laughed and hugged me tight. "It was just a bunch of flowers, no big deal."

 "Yes but I... oh..." Suddenly I realised that we were hugging. I took a step backwards and stared at him. 

I shouldn't hug him? I didn't even like him! Just because he had bought me some flowers, didn't mean that he would get my heart or something!

"What is it?" he asked surprised.

"Ehr.. I..." I mumbled and shook my head. "I think I need to go home. It's starting to getting darker..."

 "No, don't go.." he said and took my hands. I saw that he was hurt.

My heart was racing in my chest. Why did I do this? I shouldn't be here! I didn't even want to be with him, but everytime I looked him in the eyes, my heart melted.

 "Come here," he said and sat down on the ground. He patted on the ground beside him. "Sit."

And I did as he said and sat down.

 "Why.."

"Can't we just sit here for awhile? I think that you need to think about some stuff, and the best thing to do that, is while looking at the stars!"

"Well.. okay.." I said and smiled carefully.

 He leaned closer to me and put his hand around my waist. I felt butterflies in my stomach and leaned a little closer.

 We sat there for a very long time. It was nice. But I didn't think at all. I couldn't. The only thing I could think of was that he sat very close to me. I could lean my head on his shoulder if I wanted to, but I didn't dare.

I didn't want him to know that I felt butterflies everytime I was close to him. That would be like losing a war against myself. Or maybe him too. 

A few hours... minutes... seconds... I don't know. But a few something later, I felt that I was getting tired. I yawned but I tried to hide it. I didn't want him to know that.. Maybe he would send me home, and I didn't want that.

"Are you tired?"

I facepalmed myfelf in my mind. "No..." But then I yawned again. "Maybe..."

 He rose up. "Then I'll take you home."

I could hear my heart scream 'no! no! no!'. But I just nodded and followed him to his car.

He followed me to the door. "I won't break into you house this night, I promise." he said.

I just nodded. I couldn't say anything. I hadn't said anything on the whole ride home. I was tongue tied.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked in low voice.

"N-nothing.." I whispered. "I'm just fine. Fine. Goodnight, Goodwin..."

He smiled at me. "Goodnight..."

 But just as he should walk off, he leaned forward and kissed me!

Oh damn heaven!

I kissed him back and pulled him closer.

We stumbled inside my house, and then continued kissing on the bed.

That's the advantage having the bed the next to the door.

FEGG - G5 - Cece - Chapter 7

 The next morning while I was brushing my teeth, I thought back at the day before. And Goodwin. I felt kind of jealous of that Jenni. But if he had a girlfriend, it was just to forget about him. I would never have to see him again anyway.

But only a few hours later my phone called. It was Goodwin.

 "I never gave you my number.." I said.

"It's not that hard to find." Goodwin answered. "I want to meet you again and apologize for that girl who came and sent you home."

 "About that, I can't meet you again! She visited me last night after that party and was really angry.. and she... she told me about your girlfriend. And it just feels wrong if this tattooed girl are thinking that we're something more than friends, or even friends."

 "Girlfriend? She means Jenni? She's not my girlfriend, she just likes me... And this 'tattooed girl' is Jenni's best friend Amy. She's just... kind of special."

Special? Speaking of special... Seen a mirror?

 I shook my head. "I'm sorry Goodwin, but I don't wanna be involved in some sort of drama."

Then I hung up.

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

 About one hour later, a police car parked on my yard.

 What now? I went down the stairs. I hadn't done something? What if that Amy had reported me or something. But for what?

 But it was Goodwin.

 "Are you a cop?" I asked, even if it was obvious. He nodded. "And what are you doing here? I thought I said for one hour ago that I didn't want to meet you."

 "I don't believe that." he said. "I'm sorry if Amy scared you, she can look kind of creepy with all those tattoos and make up, but there's no need to be afraid of her. I want to hang with you, Cece. We can do whatever you want."

"Whatever I want?" I said and Goodwin nodded. "Well, then drive me to the pool!"

Goodwin froze for a second, but he nodded and forced a smile. Didn't he like water or something? He said, whatever I wanted, so poor him then.

 When we arrived at the pool, the first thing I did was to buy a new bikini. I found the same one I borrowed by Jenni, so I bought it. 

 Goodwin also switched to swimming trunks. But he hesitated when he saw the water and looked around.

"Goodwin, are you coming?" I shouted from the water.

 But then he took his shirt, turned around and walked away.

 I climbed out of the pool and looked after him. "Goodwin?" I shouted.

I switched clothes as fast as I could and ran out the gate, but Goodwin was gone. What was that about?

 I took a cab to a resturant and ate lunch. While eating I just got angrier and angrier.

He took me out to the place I wanted to go to, but we didn't even have to be there in 10 minutes before he left?!

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

 I don't know how long I sat at that resturant. But when I walked away, it was dark outside, and my eyes were swollen from having cried. I don't really know why I cried, but I guess I felt lonely or something.

Anyway, I didn't feel like going home. For the first time since I moved, that place called 'home' felt lonely.

So I walked to the pub.

 I even met my brother there! Thank godness he drank water. But he went home soon, the clock was already around 10PM.

 And what didn't I see besides Goodwin.

 "Are you following me?" I asked in anger. But I was afriad that the answer should be yes, because in that case, he must have seen me at the resturant.

 "No, I drove home. But then I drove to your place, to apologize. Again."

 "Well, then you actually have been following me?"

"Ehm. Yeah, let's say so."

"You atleast have to explain why you took me to the pool and then just drove off. How would I come home?"

"You're a grown-up, Cece. That's not too hard. But come, let's go somewhere it's quiet."

 We walked to the room next to where the people were.

"I'm sorry, as I said before. I can't explain why."

"You are afraid of water?" I said.

"Rather the sun, but let's say water. That sounds more normal."

 "The sun?" I asked. "Who is afraid of the sun?"

"I am."

"That's just weird."

"I'm weird, then."

 I smiled and looked at him. Even though he was weird, he was really hot. Can you call a man who is white and mysterious hot? Rather cold. White is a cold color, isn't it?

 Speaking of hot, my cheeks started to getting hotter. I closed my eyes to avoid looking at him, and hopefully, he didn't notice my red cheeks in this dark room.

"Why you close your eyes?" he whispered.

I winced and opened my eyes again.

"Eh... I-I don't know.. I'm tired, I think..." I said.

He raised his eyebrows.

"Well, then I won't force you to stay. I'll call a cab to get you home."

I nodded. But I felt disappointed. I didn't feel like going home.
