Milly's POV
Was I harsh? I couldn't have been. He was being dumb so I gave him some of his own medicine. Sure he was being nice in the beginning and he washed my dishes.
I find my purse at the door and find my phone fully charged and a message from Eric.
-I put my number in your phone. Now you can call or text when you need me.-
He went through all of this trouble to charge my phone and to give me his number. I have to call him.
"Hello?" he answers
"Eric, hi. It's Milly." For some reason I am nervous to apologize to him.
"I know that. What do you want. Why are you calling me?"
I breathe in deeply before saying "I am very sorry for the way that I acted. If I would have known---" Eric cuts me off in my sentence.
"If you would have known what? Known that I charged your phone or gave you my number or even took time out of my day to bring you your bag, you would have been nicer?"
"Yes.." I whisper. I know that I shouldn't have answered that but I couldn't stand the silence.
"Well thank you for trying to apologize to me, but it didn't work." Eric hangs up the phone, leaving me feeling worse than I already was.
The next day after I leave school, I got to Krispy Kreme and order a Krispy Kreme burger for Eric, hoping that this will suffice as an apology.
I pull into the parking lot of Eric's school minutes before it gets let out. I get the burger and I make sure that my hair isn't messed up before I get out of my car. Part of me feels like Eric will not like the gift that I got him and that he will tell me that I am pathetic. But I don't care if he thinks that I am pathetic, something about him makes me want to go after him.
People file out of the doors, going to their rides home while I sit here looking like an idiot. A few seconds later, Eric comes out of the building walking toward his car. Some other guys are walking with him talking and joking around. One of the guys that is walking with him, points to me and looks me up and down before whispering to Eric. He looks up to see who his friend was pointing to and realizes that I am who his friend was talking about. Eric quickly walks over to me so he can show his friends that he knows who I am.
"What the hell are you doing here? Don't you have some other guys hearts to break?" he whispers. I can understand that he is really mad at me for what had happened yesterday, so I will not say anything out of line.
"I came here to apologize. I know that what I said yesterday was really rude, especially seeing as how you brought me my purse, charged my phone, and gave me your number. So I want to apologize for being an inconsiderate bitch."
"One, I don't want you to ever call yourself a bitch or anyone call you anything other than your name, which happens to be Amillyana. Two, while I am extremely grateful for you coming to my school and apologizing to my face unlike other girls, don't you think that it is a little too soon for you to be apologizing to me?"
"No I do not think that it is too soon for me to be apologizing to you. Even though what happened yesterday happened, there are other qualities that you have that I like. Like when I was in your room at your brother's party, even though I was upset because I was at that party you made it better when you made me laugh. And you were nice enough to bring me back to my house then we had lunch that same day. You are a fun guy and I guess that makes me want to be around you more, which is why I apologized. I want to be friends with you but I don't want us to be friends on bad terms.' I pause to pick up the burger box and continue, "and I got you this." I hand him the box.
Taking it from my hands, Eric examines it with all of his senses. He looks up at me and says "It's food." He opens the top and his eyes go wide.
"You are so evil. Where in the bloody hell did you get this concoction?" He exasperates
"Krispy Kreme."
He puts the box down and hugs me. He smells like mint and caramel, which I would have never thought would smell smell so good on a guy but it does and I do not want to let him go. His embrace is so comforting and I feel like I will melt in his arms.
"Thank you for this." He smiles slightly and the guys that he is with tell him to hurry up.
"I'll let you go, we'll talk soon." I say to him. Eric begins to walk away towards his friends before turning around
"Want to hang out Amillyana?" he yells.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's hang out right now. Me and you."
"Okay! Let's hang out Eric." I become giddy inside and I hear his friends groan in the background. Here goes take two.
