5 Things I Love About You

Chapter 3-

[Connor's POV]

Omg. She fell down the stairs. Hard. I hope she's ok.

"What the hell were you doing running down these stairs in those heels?" Mark was yelling at her in a loud voice.

She looked so...ashamed. I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her she didn't do anything wrong. I mean someone should, cause hell knows Mark sure won't.

I went up to her, pulled her to her feet, and smiled. That brought her gorgeous smile back to her face.

"Are you ok?" I asked in concern.

"Yes. I'm fine. I guess I wasn't thinking about it and.."

"Wasn't thinking about it!" Mark interupted. "These days it seems like you aren't thinking at all! You could have really hurt yourself! "

The look on her face when she heard that pained me. I wanted to kick Mark's ass. How could he say that to her. She looked like she was about to tear up but was trying to hide it. I guess Mark noticed too.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't of said that, Dee. You know I didn't mean that..."

"I know. It's fine. Umm. Connor, you want to go?"

"Oh umm yeah. Let's go." I was really glad to get her out of there.

[Delilah's POV]

I was so anxious to get out of there when Connor helped me to my feet. I'm glad he got me out of there when he did. I had almost burst the tears out of my eyes. My brother must have drank a beer before Connor came over. Only good reason he would have gone mad like that. Before he moved out he was so different. I miss him...

"So where are we going?"

"Well," he started to say as if he was going to say many things that he couldn't wait to tell me. He looked so excited.

"I thought we could go to the countryside. They are having the annual carnival type thing there. It will only be about a twenty minute drive, since I know a short cut."

I looked at him and laughed. I loved carnivals. Was he reading my mind?

He gave me a confused look. "Unless you'd rather do something else. I'm up for anything."

Wow. He can talk really fast. Haha.

"No. No. I love carnivals!"

"Ok. great. Me too." His smile grew big and looked as if it were shining its brightest. I love his smile...

[Connor's POV]

When we got there we rode on some rides. We even rode the carousel. Even though we were the only high schoolers riding it. Her eyes beemed while she was riding it.

I loved her eyes.

I couldn't stop smiling at her. I don't know why. But she returned the smiles back.

I loved her smile too. She's so beautiful. How did I get this lucky?

After the rides we got some cotten candy. That was a blast. She had gotten it all over her face. She looked adorable. I helped her clean her face off so she wouldn't be sticky all over. And for some reason we both couldn't stop laughing. It was all silent except for our laughs for that moment. After cleaning up I took her to the park next door and we just sat and talked.

It was nice.

I drove up her driveway and turned the car off. I didn't want to let her out. I didn't want the date to be over. But I guess I have to...

I mean. How else will I ever ask her out again?

I walked her to her door. I was tempted to kiss her cheek but I saw her brother spying on us out the window. He gave me the look. The "You try kissing my baby sister and I'll hunt you down" look. So all I did was say goodnight. And let her walk into her house....

[Delilah's POV]

I walked inside. I just stood there, took a deep breath, then walked upstairs. Tonight was amazing.
I took out my notebook and starting writing about how the date went. I couldn't stop mentioning about his eyes and smile. And my cotten candy incident. I'm still laughing. Then I flipped the page to a clean one. And for no reason I see my hand writing:

Delilah&&Connor.

Why did I just write that? Now that I look at it again. It does sound pretty nice. It sounds....right. Oh so so right. But it would. Since I'm Delilah...

Wow. I can't believe it. I only go out on one date with this guy.

And I already like him.
