After I had finally opened up to William the dynamic of our relationship had changed to the positive side. He was more attentive, always asked about my day and constantly checked up on me. Talking to him became an addiction and if I went for more than a day without texting to him I felt as if something was missing. It was not right to be that dependant on a person but our relationship was growing and I preferred it that way. I knew I was in trouble considering my feelings for William grew everyday but instead of pushing them away I embraced them.

I hadn't had something good happen to me since Simon moved in next door twelve years ago. William was my good thing and I was not going to let him go. I would hold on to him for as long as I had the chance to and as long as he would have me. I still had my insecurities that he was going to ditch me once the going got tough but it had been two months and he was still around so I had better start believing.

My phone vibrated in my lap and I smiled knowing it was him. I was in my little corner in the diner eating and I'd been waiting for my phone to turn on. His message made me smile

A beautiful rose for a gorgeous angel🌹.

You've never seen me. How sure are you that I'm anything close to beautiful?

You sell yourself short Angel. If you're half as beautiful as your voice then you're easily the most beautiful girl I have ever not seen.

😅😅 You're cheesy.

Only for you darling😉.

He'd also started calling me sweet nicknames and I had discovered that I liked them. I also liked it when he called me Angel.

And whose fault is it that I haven't seen how she looks.

I've never taken a photo of myself in my life or had one taken by someone.

For me please Angel.

I don't know William.

How about a video call?

My heart stopped for a second when he said that. Sending him a photo was so much more easier than talking in video call. It was also riskier but I found myself not entirely despising the idea.

I'm sorry that was a big ask. Forget it.

Let's do it.

Wait what? Did you just agree?

You know we're texting right so you can just read the message.

I know but I can't believe that you actually agreed.

The offer won't be on the table for long. I might get caught.

Shit, you're right. Let me run to my room.

Why, where are you? And don't cuss.

Sorry Angel, I'm in the den playing video games with my friends.

It made me happy that he found the time to text me while hanging out with his friends. It made me feel treasured and special.

He went offline and I feared that I had lost him. I frowned wondering what had happened. The WiFi connection was strongest at the diner and it was still working so the problem wasn't on my side. Before I could overthink the screen started vibrating and a shrill tone reached my ears. I quickly reached for my earphones before I got caught.

I realized that William was video calling me so I moved closer to the light and composed myself. I was dressed like a slob in torn dungarees and a white T-shirt but he already knew I'd been working all day so I didn't care. The only good clothes I had was my uniform and I always took it off after school to avoid ruining it. Maybe I should have tried to look better.

In my mental freak out the session timed out and William texted.

Did you change your mind? 😟

No, I was just having a mini freak out session about my looks.

I don't care if your dressed in rags or a ball gown. All I want to see is you.

Okay, I'll pick up this time.

Good☺️.

A few seconds later the screen light up with an incoming call and I picked up immediately.

It took a few seconds for it to connect and when it finally did I was not prepared for how handsome William looked. I'd seen him in probably a hundred videos but seeing him like that, on such a close and personal level made it more real. His blonde hair was curled at the top of his head and it was shorter on the sides ending in a drop fade. His blue eyes were shining in the light looking like sapphire orbs. He was wearing a dark hoodie as far as I could see since only his top half was visible. It was a still daylight on his side seeing as it was two am for me so it was four pm for him.

Getting over his looks I noticed that he was staring at me with his lips slightly parted and eyes unblinking. Were it not for the curtains flying due to the wind behind him, I would have thought he was frozen in place. I was not going to be the one to speak first so I looked down avoiding his gaze waiting for him to talk.

Don't look away, please. I'm sorry for staring.

I looked back up at him and met his gaze.

Wow just wow.

What?

I knew you were beautiful but seeing you just proves just how wrong I was.

I frowned at his statement thinking he was insulting me, saying how ugly I was but he continued before I could dwell on it.

I was right about one thing though, you are the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. You're breathtaking.

I blushed and wished my hair was longer so I could hide behind it.

Thank you. You're very handsome too.

Thank you darling. I'm glad you approve.

His statement made me chuckle. He continued staring at me but this time I wasn't as uncomfortable since he'd broken the ice.

You're staring again.

I'm sorry. How can I not? You're perfect.

No I'm not.

Yes you are.

I left it at that not wanting to argue about it anymore.

Aren't you cold?

I'm used to it.

The sad part is that you shouldn't be. If you were here I'd offer you one of my hoodies or all of them.

That's sweet William but I'm okay honestly.

How can you be so strong? It's two am, you should be asleep and not working or eating on a cold floor.

William.....

No it's just not fair.

William listen.

Okay.

It's not fair I know but it's my life. Don't get angry over something you can't control. It's not worth it. Can we focus on talking about anything else other than my problems.

Yeah totally, I'm sorry for getting worked up.

It's okay. So am I going to get a room tour or what?

At this time I'd give you even a world tour if it was possible. Anything you ask for and it shall be yours.....

Let's stick to the basics for now.

Your wish is my command.
