Stick around this time

I don’t know why I ran. I had to think about what I did and why I did it. It was so impulsive, but I loved her, there was room for impulsivness in love right? I had to talk to her again. So I waited in the park on the way to our our neighborhood. I waited for hours. Then she finally came. “What the hell, Tom?” She asked. She seemed furious, but I knew she wasn’t. She continued. “Do you know how much you embarrased me back there?” “No,” I reply. “What I do know is that you’ve never wanted anything more but to have somthing like i did happen to you.” She knew i was right. “Ashley, I know that you want a guy who understands you and loves you more than anything.” I kept going. “I know that you want a guy who your parents hate, so that the relationship that you would have would be more exciting. I know that you love it when somthing happens without expecting it.” I kissed her again. “Even though I know you expected that,” I said. “At least I’ll stick around this time.” Right then she flung her arms around me.
