Later on that day, when i was out with my Dad at a restaurant, i had received a text from Leo. It read,

"Hey its Leo.
Thanks alot for today you really made me feel better. Hope your feeling alright too. Will let you know if anything happens tonight."

God how i wan't to know if he likes me as much as I like him. I quickly texted back,

"No worries. Hope everything is okay for you tonight, feel free to ring me if anything is bothering you."

Truth is, if he rang me i don't know if I would be able to pick up because of how nervous i would be. But then again it was an excuse to talk to him, and get closer to him.
Currently, I am still out with my dad, anxiously staring at my phone waiting for him to respond.
"Texting him?" Dad asks, winking.
I mean, of course i had told Dad everything about Leo. Dad was basically my best friend.
"Yeh." I said, sighing. I sipped on my coke, and then nearly choked when my phone lit up with a notification.
But no, it wasn't him. Instead, it was a message from Dominos about their two for one pizza night. I rolled my eyes, putting my phone back down on the table.

"Don't worry yourself over him. He's just one of the many boys you will meet in your life." Dad says. Why  was he so wise?

"I know, but he's so different to any boy i've ever met." I mumbled, stirring the ice with my straw.

"So why might he be staying round tonight?" Dad asks, taking a gulp of beer.

"Because he has problems with his family. I don't know how bad it is but from what i've seen and heard it seems pretty bad. He was just asking incase something kicks off tonight, as it seems to have been a lot recently." I say.

Dads face frowns, and he says,
"Well he's welcome to stay the night. As long he doesn't cause any trouble with you." He says.

"Dad he's not going to do anything to me we are just friends." I say, annoyed.

"Whatever you say..." Dad laughs, picking up his beer again.

It was half 8, and i was laying on my bed reading when my phone lit up. Yawning, i rolled over onto my side and picked up my phone.
It was a message from Leo.

"Are you free tonight?"

My heart dropped, and my hands trembled.
Anxiously, i typed out,

"Yes probably. What's wrong?"
I winced, hitting send.
I watch my phone carefully as that panic attack inducing little speech bubble appeared on the screen with the three dots inside.

Suddenly a text flashed up on the screen, my eyes immediately scanning it.

"Nothing really, just the same old stuck inside my room trying to get some privacy. It's just extremely boring around here."
Oh my god. Is he hinting that he misses me. Confidently, i texted back,
                                        "Well i'm definitely up for going out. Where should I meet you?            

"Tesco car park? At about 9:10?"

                                 "Ahaha sounds like a plan :)"

"See you in a bit."

Fuck. This was happening.
