Never Leave Me

Surprise Me

I stared at him in shock, my hands resting against his chest, "I don't know what to say." I whispered.

"Just tell me you don't hate me."

I shook my head and slowly pushed away from him, "I don't. I don't think I could even if I tried."

He nodded and slowly removed the mask, his big brown eyes staring into my blueish green ones, "I didn't mean for them to die. I tried everything that I could to save both of them." he stated in a quiet voice, "They weren't meant to die."

I bit my bottom lip, feeling tears slowly forming in my eyes. I let out a breath and threw my arms around his neck, hiding my face in his chest, "I know." 

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay."

"I should have told you sooner."

"No. I'm glad you waited." I sighed, looking up at him, "I would have hated you if you told me any sooner."

"You said you couldn't hate me if you tried." he chuckled quietly, staring down at me with his hands resting on my waist.

"That was before."

"Before?"

"Yeah. Before." I shrugged, "Why have you stopped fighting crime?"

"I don't have any inspiration to start back up." he stated.

"What about me?"

"I don't want you getting hurt." he frowned, quickly shaking his head, "Not like your dad. Not like Gwen."

I nodded and ran my fingers through his messy hair, "I understand. Promise me something, though."

"Anything."

"If something big ever happens, Spiderman has to make a comeback."

He smiled weakly, but nodded, "I promise."

"Good." I smiled back, pulling away from him slowly, "I better get home. It's late."

He nodded again, "Want me to walk you home?"

"I'll take a cab." I stated, walking towards his door, "I'll see you soon."

"Um, Gabby?"

"Yes?"

"Do you, maybe, want to go to dinner or..something? Whatever you want to do. I mean, I'm not good at picking places to go-"

"Peter." I chuckled, "I would love to. Anywhere is fine. Surprise me." I smiled at him before finally walking out.

I sat my Red Bull down on my nightstand, glancing at the clock. Six p.m. on a Friday afternoon. What a fun life I live. I picked my phone up, seeing a message from Peter pop up.

Be ready.

For?

The surprise. :)

Do I need to dress up or just wear something casual?

No reply. Dammit, Peter. I sighed and looked down at my fuzzy pants with penguins on them. Can I just wear these? I sighed loudly and made my way over to my closet. Something casual, but fancy at the same time so it would look good anywhere..

I tossed a pair of skinny jeans on the bed followed by an oversized white top and a cheeta print scarf, my white Keds landing at the foot of my bed. After pulling the outfit on, I studied my appearance in the mirror as I fixed my curls. Good enough.

Fixing what makeup I had on, I picked up my purse and tossed my phone in it just as the doorbell rang. I let out a quiet breath. Here I go.. Going on a date with Peter.. who is my dead sisters ex-boyfriend, you could say.. I shook the thoughts from my mind before making my way to the front door.

Outfit on side!

He asked her out FINALLY plus she didn't freak out on him for being Spiderman! :D

Sorry I'm not updating my other stories as much, I just don't have any ideas for them :)
