19 How many times do I have to apologise?

Cole P.O.V.

I carried Lyra all the way to her room even when she tells me to let her go.

I was disappointed at her for agreeing to go on a date with the Lem guy.   I was looking forward to spent time with her this weekend but she has a plan with that LEM guy. I know I don't own her and she deserves to go on a date with anyone but I am too selfish to let her spent time with someone.

I can't wait to ask her to be mine but I have problems of my own for now and after I solve everything I'll ask her to be mine. I only hope I won't be too late though.

I have never told anyone about my dad but Lyra is someone whom I want to share anything with and for some reason I trusted her a lot.

I believe she will never tell anyone about me,  that's how much I trust her. I have never care nor felt this way about anyone but this feeling I have right now is so much deeper than just a crush.

Lyra is beautiful even without trying,  she is beautiful inside and out. I have never seen girls like her who is rude but when you look deeper she's the sweetest person I ever met. I hope my dad allows me to choose someone I truly like not just some girls with a rich daddy.

" Cole put me down,  It's embarrassing if someone saw us ."

" You were not complaining for the past hour,  Adrian"

" that's different Cole, we are in college campus now."

" I don't care"

" well I do,  now listen to me boy put me down. " I love it when she speaks this way,  I remember everything last night and I sure as hell remember not saying anything about piggy rides. I am surprised to see her text when I thought she was on a date,  I can't explain how glad I am when she texts me to meet her. It takes all of my willpower not to squeeze her when I saw her standing alone. I think I lo...

" Lyra please don't make me give you piggy rides again,  I think my back just broke. "

" Ohh I plan to break it besides you own me so. "

"  I think 2 hours of the piggy ride is enough Lyra"

" Ohh Okay I won't say thanks though since it's you who woke me from my deep sleep"

" How many times do I have to say sorry?"

" Two "

" Alright alright sorry "

" Good "  she smiles and her dimples is so visible, damn !! this girl will be the death of me.

I wonder what makes me smile so much when I am around her,  It's like Lyra is here to make me happy. I just hope she would still find me worthy of staying beside her even when she knows all my past or what I am going through.

" Cole hello?"  She snaps her finger in my face,  I must have zoned out.

We are in standing in front of her room,  I don't want her to go yet but Lyra seems tired by the way she is yawning continuously.

  " Cole please wait here Alright?".  She ran inside her room and I take a peek inside,  she is writing something on a paper and tears it.   She ran towards me and handed me the folden paper. I wonder what It is,  I feel like a kid waiting to open a Christmas gift.

I look down to see her observing me "Why are you looking at me like that Ly?"

" Oh, nothing I just thought your hair looks cool".   I saw her blush and damn if that is not the cutest thing.

" Thanks?"

She nods and yawns again,   as much as I want to stay with her longer,  Lyra seems tired and I have calls to make.

" Well see you tomorrow?"  I say like a question. She still hasn't looked up and nods again. What is up to her now? 

She's so confusing one moment she is talkative,   now she resembles a shy puppy.

" Lyra?"

She looks up at me wide-eye before I can comprehend the situation she leans in, and kiss my cheek and practically ran in towards her room.

I stood there frozen, too shock with the situation. I smile when I realize  Lyra just kiss me. Lyra kiss me !!! . I resist the urge to follow her in and kiss her till I'm out of my breath.

Once I reach my room I walk towards my table and switch the light on.  I hastily open the folded paper and a smile immediate light up my face.

Cole,

You think you are a  bad person but I choose to differ it.

When I was 16 years old I fought with one of my best friends. I feel so guilty because I thought I was the bad person for even fighting with her when we were that close. I apologise several times but she refuses to accept it.

I read many stories even during that time and I came across a book that I love so much. In that story, the girl asks the guy if she was a bad person,  and you know what the guy replies ' 'we are all A Person, who do bad things sometimes.'

So my point is Cole I don't think you are a bad person,  I think you are a person who does bad things sometimes and it doesn't mean you are a bad person. So, I want you to realize that we are all humans and everyone does bad things sometimes.
