Crash Around Me

You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?

                  

-Paisley's POV-

"Don't just stand there and let that happen, then ask if I am ok! Do I seem freaking ok Paisley, I'm not! I can't believe you, I only talked to him for you and you used me for that! Have fun on your date with Saracen Thursday but please leave me alone!" Hayleigh yelled at me and ran out.

I teared up and looked down. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. You know? I didn't want to see Tessa say anything like that to her. What was I supposed to say? I didn't want to get made fun of too! I sighed. What kind of friend am I? I ignored the whole thing because I didn't want to get made fun of. What kind of crap is that! I went on to the bleachers and cried. "Paisley it's okay." Tyler sat down beside me and rubbed my back holding my into a tight hug. "I'm here for you. You know that right?"

I nodded and sniffed crying more. I looked up at him. "I-I didn't m-mean to s-stand there a-and let i-it happen..." I choked out in between sobs.

He shushed me and hugged tighter, saying "I know I know. Hey lets go to my house and get some snacks."

I nodded and grabbed my stuff. He drove to his house and he made me a chocolate milkshake with a ton of whipped cream and cherries. I smiled slightly and ate some. He sat there and made himself a blueberry and raspberry smoothie. I sniffed and smiled a bit. "Are you trying to fatten me up? You get a healthy smoothie and I get milkshake!"

I laughed and he did too. He shook his head playfully "Oh hush! Milkshakes make you happy! You're supposed to be this amazing happy Italian and you aren't supposed to cry!"

I smiled sadly at him. He wiped my eyes and smiled and I said "Thank you. I want to tell you something."

He smirked at me as if he knew what I was going to tell him "Mmhmm tell me!"

Tyler smirked and I blushed looking down, then said "Matt and I have a date on Thursday."

I smiled waiting for his response, He smirked at me and then smiled hugging me tightly "IM SO HAPPY FOR MY LITTLE ITALIAN!"

Tyler smiled squeezing me tightly. I laughed. He loved calling me his Italian "Tyler! I can't breathe!"

He smiled and let go and said "How did he ask you? I want to go!"

I laughed shaking my head, replying "No you can't come! But I was hanging out at the mall and we started talking and he asked me."

I smiled thinking about it, I was really excited. He said "Aww Paisley!!! I'm so happy for you! What are you going to wear?"

I shrugged and said pleadingly "Help me?"

He smiled and took me shopping. We did a little fashion show and had the most fun I've had in weeks.  I finally found the perfect outfit, and I really hope Matt likes it.

            I woke up Thursday morning, it was almost 8 o'clock. I got up from my bed and got ready. I was nervous, I haven't been on a date before. How do I act? What if he kisses me? What if I'm a bad kisser? What if he's a bad kisser? What if he doesn't want to kiss me because me thinks I look bad? So many things went on in my head as time got closer to 9 o'clock. I heard a knock on the door right as I finished getting ready. I went downstairs and got the door. It was Matt! His jaw dropped. I couldn't help but blush. "Whoa..." He said, biting his lip.

            I looked down blushing and grabbed his arm "Shall we?"

He smiled back up at me and walked me to the car, he had borrowed from Landry, while he watched his grandma. The car ride to the bowling alley was pretty funny. We were talking about how Lyla fell in front of him the other day and got up and tried to walk away but tripped again over her shoe lace. It was the middle of school and no one saw but Matt. I was dying. I honestly thought this was the best thing in the world. If only he got it on video. We got to the bowling alley and purchased our shoes. I smiled and went over to put our names in, I put Saracen and Hale. He chuckled and let me go first, and bowled a spare, he laughed and I crossed my arms. I looked at him and said "What was that laugh for Saracen?"

He smirked and stood up straight "I can do better, that's all."

My jaw dropped and I playfully hit him "Prove it then!"

He chuckled and pretended I injured him and said "I don't think I can! You injured me! My arm! I'm broken!" He pretended to die in his chair.

I laughed and walked over to him and said playfully "Come on Matt we just started!" I laughed and poked him.

I should have ran! He smirked and I just watched him lay there admiring his smirk when all of a sudden he shot up and picked me up swinging me over his shoulder. I couldn't help but scream and laugh while he said "Paisley? Paisley! Where did you go?"

I couldn't stop laughing and said "Maaaaaatt!" I hiccupped. "Let me go!"

He laughed and kept playing with me "Whoa. I thought I heard a loser but I'm not sure. I mean the king of bowling doesn't hear losers!"

I laughed, kicking my feet and wiggled "Matthew!"

He laughed and set me down. I was pouting and crossed my arms. He chuckled and shook his head, saying "Aww come on Paisley it's not that bad!"

I got knocked out of my thoughts when he wrapped his arms around my waist and put his head on my shoulder "What you thinking about?" I blushed, and I laid my head back slightly, staying in that position for a while.

            I felt the smile creep on my face and said "Just how I'm going to beat you at this game."

He chuckled and replied "Mmhmm. Okay please go show me how you're going to 'beat' me. I don't think you know how powerful that sentence really is."

I walked over there and he smiled watching me, I felt my heart beat faster. I knew he was staring at me which made me even more nervous. I gulped and bowled another spare. He said "Nice try Hale!!"

I turned around and walked over to him wrapping my arms around his waist looking up at him "You can't judge me! I'm doing as well as you!"

He chuckled and nodded walking up there. I watched him bowl and get the dreaded 7-10 split. I busted out a quick laugh but covered my mouth really fast. He looked back at me and smirked. I gasped and he ran over to me and picked me up. I laughed and he said "You aren't going to win this! It's only the 3rd frame!"

I laughed and nodded, this went back and forth for a couple hours playing multiple games. I won the first 2 games. He won the last, and of course he's focused on how he won the last game. He kept teasing me and poking me like a little kid. I giggled and pushed him playfully. He laughed and I did too. He opened the passenger door for me and helped me in. I thanked him and he came over to the driver's side and I smiled playing with my hands nervously. He likes me I can tell and I really like him but I'm nervous. I felt the nerves getting worse and worse the closer we got to my house. We got out of his car and walked up to the door of my house, I smiled and he did too. We stood there awkwardly and I said "Thank you for inviting me tonight I had fun."

He smiled. I thought was that cliché to say? I mean it was true but was it too cliché? He the replied "Me too Paisley. I enjoyed beating you at bowling!"

I giggled and shook my head at him. He was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. We stood there for a little bit then before we knew it we were both leaning in towards each other. This is it. I leaned in until our lips connected. I felt all the butterflies explode in my stomach. Everything happened so fast, and our lips were moving in sync with each other. Eventually he pulled away and smiled at me waving and leaving. I went in the house and the butterflies were still there. I couldn't believe that had just happened, it went so great and I was so happy. I felt so good about me and Matt, now to get Hayleigh to forgive me.
