Driveway

“I need an answer.”

“A answer about what?” Showing up to my house this late is craziness. What is he thinking?

“Are we just friends?”

“Josh?”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you asking if we’re just friends?”

“Because I like you. I think you have made it pretty clear that you like me too.” I look around to make sure the nice guys left. He has. Okay time to be honest. “Who are you looking for.”

“You know the guy I was just with?”

“Yeah.”

“Him because he just took me out on a date and I don’t want him to hear all this. You like me?”

“Yeah.”

“Never told me.”

“I thought I made it clear. What always so happy with you around. Asking you to do things wasn’t enough?”

“Considering you do that with a lot of girls. Girls that your not even interested in, I would say yes.”

“You still should have known.”

“False.”

“Fine I’m leaving.”

“You drove to my house for that and your just going to leave?”

“Yeah because I don’t want to seem like an idiot. You should have known how I felt about you. This is ridiculous how could you not have known?”

“Actions speak louder than words.” Turning for my house to walk in next thing I know he’s grabbing me and giving me the most intense kiss I have ever gotten. When I finally open my eyes he’s getting in his car and driving away.

“Maybe this is a bad time.” Who the eff is that? I don’t want to turn around. I am in way to much shock to register whose voice that even is. Crap I have to turn around. Slowly. Oh ever so slowly. Ryan?

“Hey. What are you doing here?”

“I came to talk to you because I know your seeing my best friend and wanted to talk to you.”

“Oh god. I didn’t know that was going to happen. He just dropped me off and when I was walking to my door Josh showed up.”

“I wont say anything. But you should. Listen I know he doesn’t seem like a really special guy or anything but he just has a lot of learning to still do to feel comfortable one on one with a girl.” I seriously cannot be talking to anyone about this right now. “I know you like him, but he will be the one getting hurt not you.” Really need to stop talking right now. “Are you serious about leaving?”

“Leaving?”

“When your done with school do you really want to leave?”

“Yeah.”

“Thanks.” That’s it. He just turns now and walks away. Thanks for all the mind fucks universe. It’s been real.

Party

“Omg I love this song!” Turn to being judged by Josh. “Hey everyone loves journey you so cannot be hating.”

“Oh I am not hating at all!.” With both just look at each other then I give a little flirty smile then go to walk back down stairs were a game is happening.

“Kelly.” Crap.

“Oh hey. What’s going on?”

“I was going to ask you that. Look I know I was being weird all night and avoiding you but there is just a lot going on so not really myself.”

“It’s fine. Look if there is a lot going on it’s chill.”

“But I just need to talk to you about something cause it’s really bothering me.” Well we went on one date so maybe he doesn’t know where we stand. That’ll make sense cause sometimes I am so scattered brained that I probably give of way to many singles. But you know when I like you. Trust me. “What do you think about drinking?”

Did he just ask me that? This is really happening. “Umm. Seriously?”

“Yeah. Sorry I know you underage and you have these stories about drinking and then randomly making out with guys. I don’t know. It bothers me.”

“Umm. Sorry?”

“I don’t know. I just want to know where you stand.”

“Listen I don’t want to come off as a total bitch but, I am. You are not my boyfriend. If we were together I could understand you asking me this. Or asking me other questions but your not. So I am not going to answer that. I’ll see you later.”

“Wait I didn’t mean to.” Goodness I am just going to keep walking before I blow up on this idiot. Screw that. Walking away can be seen asme being hurt or immature.

“Listen. Don’t say you didn’t mean to especially since you have been hanging out with me for months and see how I act. I bring up my past because I have one. You don’t know my past. Yes I am defensive about it because they way you brought it up wasn’t right. You should of brought it up another way or at another time. You choose to do it here. You heard those stories and still choose to ask me out on a date. That was your decision.”

“Kelly. I’m sorry. I know I don’t see you acting in any of those ways but you talk so relaxed about it so I just don’t know what to think.”

“I’m not going to tell you want to think. I am a very upfront person. I am answering you. I could have walked away but I choose to give you an answer.”

“I appreciate that. Let’s forget I asked.”

“You can’t unask a question so no. I can’t forget you asked.” With him stunned I simply walk down the stair to continue on with the games. Not mind games.
