𖥨᩠ׄ݁᭥ SHY!KATIE X FRAT!PATRICK
It had only been a few weeks since I met Katie Wilmot and I latched onto her .
I seriously wouldn’t leave her alone . She didn’t seem to be that annoyed by it however because when I came up to her at the end of a class or slot in beside her during lunch she never told me to leave . Instead , she did a tiny smile that I had gotten used to and let me talk her ear off .
I also found myself helping her out more . It was like I wanted to be the one she turned to when she needed something . Even when it was tiny things like the time i followed her to the library and leaned over her to grab the book she just couldn’t reach . I heard her breath hitch that day and as per usual her cheeks went bright red .
I liked getting that reaction from her and it worked out well because when I helped her out i felt all big and useful so when she needed anything I was the one to do it .
If she forgot a fork with her school lunch? i went to get it.
If she missed a few notes during a super fast class? I gave them to her because now i was the one focusing really hard so I could help her when it was needed .
It was so unlike me . I was used to parties most nights and constantly smelling like beer or the scent of a girl perfume that had been hanging off my arm all night but i wasn’t doing that as often lately .
It really became apparent to me the other night when I choose to spend my saturday night at the library with katie as she studied for a biology test , i had my chin in my hand and I kept dozing off only to open my eyes and smile slightly at the sight of the curly haired doll infront of me .
My friends noticed it too . Gibs was nearly appalled when I told him i wasn’t going to party that night because I was busy and after some nonstop pestering i had to tell him it was with katie .
He then continued to call me lover boy and whipped for 15 minutes but I tuned it out .
That’s what had been happening to lead up to this current situation. I was at the bookstore with Katie .
I had never been in a place like this but she fit right in , she had one wired headphone in and one dangling so she could still hear me if I spoke . Her words not mind .
She was browsing in almost every section , a little smile decorating her face when she would pick up a book a read the blurb before putting it in the black basket hanging from arms .
We had been looking around for what felt like an hour . It was an hour of her stopping to show me a book , tell me what she liked about it and then walking on .
I felt like a puppy just walking around after her but where ever that head of orange curls went I wanted to follow .
She finally stopped and turned around to look up at me , her green eyes met mine and her freckles were glowing under the lighting of the shop .
“Okay im done.” Her delicate voice told me.
I nodded , turning and walking over to the till , standing beside katie as she handed all the books over and then not wasting a moment before pulling my wallet out as the cashier totalled up the cost .
“That’ll be 134 euros.” The lady at the till told katie but I intercepted and hand over my card before katie could pull her purse from the bag she was currently looking through .
She looked up at me as I handed over the card , her eyebrows furrowing in confusion but i didn’t say anything and I didn’t let her either .
“Pat-“ She started to say .
“Nope.” i shook my head and let the lady run my card through .
Once the books were placed into a few bags I took them all and walked out of the shop , opening the door with my foot .
When we got outside Katie grabbed my arm , the touching send warm hot electric up my arm .
“Why did you do that?” She said quietly .
“I wanted to.” I shrugged like it was so simple but for me it really was .
“I can pay for my own things.”
“I know , i just wanted to do that for you.”
Her mouth parted slightly as she took a little breath at my words and I saw a flicker of hesitation flash across her green eyes .
She looked down for a moment before using her tippy toes to smack a kiss onto my cheek .
It made me smile down at her when she pulled back .
“You’ve been helping me so much lately.” She said quickly , her cheeks going pink once again .
“You mean i’ve been being your friend lately?”
“Sure.” She nearly whispered .
“I think i deserve more for the help i do.” I said teasingly , my lips forming to flash a cheesy smile at her .
“What-“ She went to ask me a stupid question but I quickly set the bags of books down and pulled her out of the door way of the book shop before pressing my lips against her pink ones .
She gasped against my mouth as my hands came up to hold her pale face gently .
Everything about her made me want to be gentle . With the others I had kissed I would grip their waists or plant a hand on their thigh but for some reason Katie Wilmot had my hands holding her face like it was something delicate as my lips kissed hers .
I pulled back to look at the girl infront of me . She looked dazed slightly , her lips wet and her whole face a scarlett colour .
“What was that for?” She repeated my question from earlier .
I shrugged once again , “Was just helping a pretty girl get kissed.”
