Beautiful Things//O2l/Kian Lawley By Emily

Chapter Four: Rebeca

"Hey." I said walking into the front door of the guys house, by now it's a regular thing, either I'm here or Kian's at my place. "Hey." Jc says walking up and hugging me.
"Where's Kian?" I asked looking around the living room.
"He isn't here" Jc said.
I frown not aware he had plans today.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"He is on a daaaate." Rickey yelled from the other room. Jc rolled his eyes "Shut up Rickey! He isn't on a date he is just hanging out with a girl, like the two of you do." He said directing his attention to me.
"Oh." I said forcing a smile but I can't help feeling jealous, why wouldn't he tell me about it? Was he hiding it from me? Then a thought really made my blood boil. Was he on a date with her? I shook my head trying to push those thoughts to the back of my head.
Kian and the girl walked in laughing almost hitting me with the door in the process. Kian stopped laughing looking at me. "Hey Lexy," he said smiling, "This is Rebeca, we met yesterday."
"Hi! It's nice to meet you." She said shaking my hand. I smiled not saying a word. I probably wouldn't be so upset of she wasn't stunning. Her light brown hair held perfect tight curls and her eyes were a beautiful light green. I could feel jealously heating up inside me but I forced it back keeping a smile on my face.
"Well I had a great time today!" She said turning her attention to Kian. Ugh I hated her cheeriness.
"Ya we should do it again some time." Kian answered smiling at her. Do what again! Ugh they were on a date, I'm so stupid how could I ever think Kian might like me as more than a friend.
The door closed behind her and he turned pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back tightly not wanting to let go. Finally I did trying to act like nothing was wrong.
"So, she is nice." I said trying to get Kian to talk about her.
"Ya, she is." Kian said, but that's all he said.
The next day Kian texted me asking if I want to come with him to walk around downtown. I quickly replied excited to have time with him. He picked me up five minutes later and we drove with the radio on low and the windows down. I looked over at him admiring the way he looked. His hair was pushed back with a flower crown and he looked happy. The wind blew his hair slightly making everything about him perfect. When we got to town we pull into a parking space and got out of the car. I looked around smiling, I caught him looking at me, and when I looked at him he didn't look away. Suddenly the silence was broken by a new voice, "Hey guys! This is gonna be so much fun!" Rebeca said skipping up to Kian and linking arms with him. He smiled pulling her into a hug. I balled my hands into fists trying not to get mad and pull her by her perfect hair away from him. "So what are we gonna do first!" She asked looking from me to Kian and then back to me. I took a breath preparing for the longest day of my life.
********
He parked in my driveway and I got out not saying goodbye. The only reason I was mad at him is because I thought he liked me back, but obviously he was with Rebeca.
"Hey wait." Kian closed the car door behind him jogging after me. He ran in front of me stopping me at the door.
"What's wrong?" He said frowning.
"Nothing." I growled, he looked at me shocked by my tone.
"Lexy you can tell me." He said looking me straight in the eyes. I looked at the ground trying not to get mad or cry because at this point it could go both ways.
He put a finger under my chin gently lifting my face so our eyes met. "Lexy, tell me." He said softly. At this point I couldn't handle it anymore. I turned away from him because I could feel the frustrated tears coming to my eyes.
"We tell each other everything. Nothing has ever changed that until she came along!" I spat not even caring how mad I sounded, "Kian I like you, as more than a friend okay! And I thought you liked me too but then this girl comes in and steals you! Or maybe you never even cared about me in the first place! The way you looked at me, I thought..." My voice cracked and a tear escaped from the corner of my eye, "I thought you felt the same way." I finished, whipping my eyes I looked up at him. He just stood there shocked. Just looking at him I knew I had screwed up everything. I sighed pushing by him and heading to the door. As I pushed on the door handle a hand stopped me grabbing my wrist gently. I turned confused and Kian pulled me into his chest cupping my face with his hand he leaned down and kissed me. For a moment I stood there shocked, but then I kissed him back feeling every nerve in my body come to life. I reached up tangling my hands in his hair, damn he was a good kisser. He pulled away slowly kissing my forehead. "I like you too," he whispered kissing me again lightly, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
I smiled nodding. He smiled back hugging me close.
