Him & I

Chapter 19

❃ ❃ ❃

I've been in my room all morning, enjoying some alone time. Since it's saturday I didn't wake up early. One of the reasons I love saturdays is that I get to sleep more.

I slowly get out of bed and get ready to start my day. The temperatures have been going up lately and I love it. It means that summer is close.

I decide to wear a white crop top and my ripped denim shorts. Something casual and comfortable since it's really hot today.

I grab my phone and walk downstairs to the kitchen to have some breakfast. -"Morning"- I shout cheerfully to my sister in the living room.

"Morning sis! Sophie and I are going shopping since is our day off. We won't take long"- she informs me walking in the kitchen. -"Oh okay! Can I borrow your car?"- I ask her.

"I'm sorry Heaven, we're using my car because Sophie's car is at the garage"- she responds.

"It's okay don't worry. You two have fun"- I say. I really wanted to go to my favorite place today since the weather is so nice but.. whatever. I really need to buy my own car though. -"Alright, I'll see you later"- she says and walks out.

What am I gonna do now? Ohh I know, an iced coffee sounds nice right now. I head out and walk down the street to the coffee shop. I get my coffee and start walking around the neighborhood.

Bad idea. It's really hot today and it's only mid April. I should probably get back home. I knew exactly what I could do today but to my bad luck, Kate needed the car.

As I'm walking, I check for the time on my phone and suddenly I bump into someone. Why? Why is it always me? -"I'm sorry"- I say looking up.

"You never learn pikachu"- Kyle says shaking his head. Deja Vu. I smile to myself because we're almost at the same spot it happened before. And.. this is how we met.

"You should be thankful I didn't spill my coffee on you this time"- I say smiling and he nods with a grin. -"Yeah that'd be bad"- he chuckles.

"Bad? Just bad? Do you even remember how rude you were to me? You were so angry even though I didn't do it on purpose"- I say now smiling at the memory and he chuckles again.

"Yeah I remember"- he nods. -"Honestly, I was so mad at the way you talked to me and i kinda hated you without even knowing you. Then Sophie introduced you as her brother and I was so humiliated"- I admit laughing.

"It's a good thing we're friends now"- he says making me nod. Honestly, I don't know how I feel about us being friends. I mean it's nice but still.. every time he's around me I get this weird feeling in my stomach.

I like him, I know I do but it's pointless. Even if I had a chance to be with him, I would be too scared. He has been with other girls before and from what I've seen, I'm nothing like them.

We're completely different in every aspect. They're prettier, hotter, perfect bodies, perfect faces. Every time I see him with a girl, all my insecurities come flooding into my mind. I can't stop it, it just happens.

Now that I think about it though, I haven't seen him with a girl in a long time. I wonder why. I shake my thoughts away and turn my attention to him.

"So, where were you going before I bumped into you?"- I ask. -"Nowhere, I got bored so I decided to go for a walk. You?"- he asks. -"Same as you! I wanted to go somewhere but Kate took the car to go shopping with your sister"- I respond and take a sip from my coffee.
