BFB: The One For Me

Chapter 7: Everything's back to Normal

*Kianna*

"We need to talk." I watched as a scared expression crossed his face. I couldn't stop but think how adorable he looked in his gym shorts and grey beater.

"Uh, sure... I'll meet you outside in five minutes." He replied breathlessly.

I nodded and walked out the door I entered through, stopping to wave at Arian. I sat on the bottom of the steps waiting for Dylan. When I heard his footsteps on the stairs, I waved at him to take a seat beside me.

"Is everything alright?" he questioned as he sat down.

"Everything's fine."

We sat in mutual silence. I built up the courage to come here and speak to him, yet the words I practiced not so long ago would not come out of my mouth. How do I start? I didn't know how I could tell him how I felt.

"Kianna?"

"Ya?"

"What is it? What do you want to talk about."

I turned to look at him. His eyes were filled with concern. I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans and stood up to face him.

"I don't know how to say this Dylan. I hate fighting with you. I don't like having this grudge over you. You don't know how many times I've told myself, 'get over this, stop being a baby.' But something in me just doesn't let me move on."

"Kianna..."

"No, please let me finish." I look down at my feet, unable to look into his eyes. "I think if I just tell you my feelings I can find some closure. I think it will make me feel better, so please just hear me out. I loved you Dylan. I loved you more than words can express, but you hurt me. You broke my heart. I put all my trust in you, all of it. I believed every word you said to me. I actually thought you loved me too. When I saw you with that girl...." I wiped the tears that silently rolled down my cheeks. "When I saw you with that girl, it was like someone was ripping my heart in to pieces. I was young, but there was no doubt that the love I had for you was absolutely true. I don't blame you for cheating. You deserved someone better than me. I was never a perfect girl. I was never perfect for you. But I have accepted that fact. I'm sorry for annoying you with this grudge I had. I don't want you to say anything. I want us to put this behind us and be good friends. Before we were in a relationship we were good friends. I want that back." I looked up to see his eyes red and watery, or maybe it was my imagination. "So what do you say? Friends?" I stuck out my hand waiting for him to shake it.

He just nodded and took my hand in his, giving me a small smile.

I smiled back. "Alright, when you're done, you and Arian can come to the theatre room.  Rebecca said Emily is back in town and is coming over tonight."

"Alright, we'll be there in 30 minutes." Dylan pushed himself from the stairs and stood up.

I wrinkled my nose. "I think you need more than 30 minutes, you smell."

"Oh do I now?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Uh... ya." I took a step back, putting some distance between us.

But that didn't stop him. He took a big step and closed the distance between us. I was locked in my position by his eyes. I saw the lust flare in them as he put his arms around my waist and pulled me tightly against his chest. I opened my mouth, but only air seemed to seep through. My body began to react. It ached from head to toe. My hands wanting to wrap itself around his neck and pull his head closer. Stop it!  I told myself before things went too far.

"What are you doing?" I managed to croak as he bent his head down closer to my face. Our lips were mere inches apart.

Even then he never lost contact with my eyes. Before I could react he shook his hair spraying the wetness from his hair all over me. Not a moment passed before he took off running up the stairs, laughing all the way up.
