Take A Chance On Me || William Nylander

Part XXXI

Mariana's POV- May 2016

"I got to say, William really outdid himself"

I looked at Ellie.

"I'm going to tell him I love him" I told her.

She looked away from the 3 charms on my bracelet and smiled.

"About fucking time Mariana"

She grabbed both my hands and smiled.

"Something is bothering you though"

"I got two messages from Will's ex-girlfriend" I stated.

Part of me wanted to delete the messages and tell the girl to fuck off, but the other part of me wanted to read what she sent me.

"Did you read them?"

"I don't know if I want to" I admitted.

She looked at me.

"Can you read it?" I asked her.

She bit her lower lip and nodded.

"Ok"

I reached for my phone and unlocked it before handing it to her. She pushed her hair back and I watched as her eyes slowly went down the screen. Once she was done she looked up at me and let out a deep breath.

"You need to talk with William"

"Why?" I asked.

She locked the screen and handed me back my phone.

"Just to clear things up"

I looked at her.

"What would he need to clear up with me?" I asked.

"Just talk with him first"

I unlocked my phone and grabbed my hand.

"Mariana, talk to him first. Please do not jump to conclusions"

There was a knock on the door and I took a deep breath.

"That's Will" I told her.

I stood up and grabbed my jacket.

"I'm a phone call away"

I nodded and opened the door. 

"Hello beautiful"

I smiled as Will stepped forward and pulled me into a tight hug.

"You ok?"

He pulled away a bit and I nodded.

"Yeah, just nervous about my grades" I replied.

He smiled.

"There's no need to be nervous about that love, I'm sure you did great"

He kissed my forehead and squeezed me.

"What are you two doing tonight?"

He rubbed my back as I leaned against him.

"Just staying in, what about you?"

Ellie looked at me before smiling at him.

"Jeff is coming over, he's helping me pack"

I let out a deep breath and pulled away from Will.

"Let me put on my jacket" I told him.

He nodded.

"You're not taking an overnight bag?"

"I've got some pjs and an outfit at your place" I replied as I slipped on my jacket.
