Astrid POV
"Soooo you and Cohen seem pretty close" Arista teases wiggling her eyebrows. I roll my eyes trying to hide the red hue on my cheeks. I stretch my legs out on the floor, the doctor advised me to stretch as I had been in a coma for weeks. The doctors also handed me a new set of hearing aids, which took some convincing.
I'm proud of who am I and whether I am deaf or not I realize I am capable of anything. It's just sad my father didn't have the same beliefs.
"There is nothing going on between me and Cohen... besides I don't think we would work out anyway" I say candidly. It could work out you are just being a punk, the little voice in my head taunts me. It's not that I don't want to try it's just....
"Are you shitting me, you would have to be blind not to see the chemistry between you two. Seriously if you don't want him I'd like to have a go" Arista jokes. Something about that statement sets my heart on fire.
"Why is it so hard for you to admit you have feelings for him? On a serious note I think you deserve to be happy" Arista says patting me on the head. I would like to be happy... I've just been through so much... would he even want me?
Feeling frustrated I throw myself onto my bed. Boys are so frustrating it's so annoying how Cohen doesn't even have to try hard. One look from him and my heart stops.
I watch as Arista paints her toenails a bright yellow. I admire her long blonde hair that's in a messy bun. Ugh why can't I be just as gorgeous as she is, it's unfair. Suddenly a thought comes in my head.
"Hey Cohen says you and Otis have been getting pretty close" I say narrowing my eyes at her. Immediately her face becomes red and she actually looks quite shocked.
"There is nothing going on between us... ya know what I'm thirsty I'll go get us some drinks" she rushes out. I watch as she dashes out the door like a dog running away from a cat.
I would laugh if I wasn't feeling so frustrated. I don't know what Cohen expects of me... I'm willing to give this relationship thing a go. With confidence I race off my bed towards Cohen's room.
It's time to man up...no more backing out of this. I knock on his door without hesitation... wait what if he is sleeping... or maybe on the toilet!!
Before I can walk away Cohen opens the door. A huge smile instantly gracing his handsome face. "Hey beautiful, I wasn't expecting you how are you feeling" he asks pulling me in a hug.
Is it hot in here or is it just me... why the hell am I sweating! Those stupid butterflies are flying around in my tummy and I would appreciate it if they would just disappear!
Why am I so nervous? I look up at him while in his arms. Our faces were so close, his minty breath stroking my face is waves. I never noticed how good his lips looked... what is wrong with me!
Taking a huge gulp of air I create some space between us. "I uhh wanted to see... if you were uhh... busy" I stutter over my words. This definitely isn't like me at all.
Curse him and his stupid beautiful smile. I avoid eye contact as he continues to stare at me. Getting annoyed I snap at his constant staring "why are you looking at me like that"!
Shaking his head the smile on his face never leaving. "I'm just happy that you are well, you look even more beautiful" he whispers. I knew my face was red I didnt even need a mirror.
He reaches for my hand smoothing it over with his thumb."Go out with me Astrid" he asks almost begging me to say yes. I would be an idiot if I said no and besides I wanted to give this a try.
"Yes Cohen, I'll go out with you" I say. Embracing me in another hug I became excited at the thought of our date. Until I just remembered...
I've never been on a date... shit...
