Irresistible- Benny Rodriguez

15- jealousy

As I walked home with Benny, he didn't say anything.

"Hey Benny I was wondering..."

"What."

"Uh do you maybe want to go to the fair with me? Just us?"

Was I really about to ask him on a date? Yes. Yes I was.

"I'm busy." He kept a blank facial expression.

"Well not tonight obviously."

"Sorry, no."

I sighed.

"That's cool, I'll ask yeah-yeah instead."

"No, you won't."

He grabbed my hands.

Now, he looked...angry.

"Why not..?"

"Because I don't want you to."

"Well, I mean I asked you and you said no so I was just going to ask him."

His grip on my hands got tighter.

"Can you let go? My hands hurt!"

"Not until you tell me what I want to hear."

"Listen Benny, I'm really sorry about last night I just didn't know what to say..."

His grip loosened.

"...I really do like you it's just I would never think a guy like you would confess to a girl like me!"

He smiled and let go of my hands.

"Why wouldn't I confess to you?"

"Because every girl has a crush on you it's insane that you like me!"

"But I don't like the other girls...I like you."

"Yeah I know! You said that already."

He sighed.

"Do you want to go to the fair or not?" I asked one final time.

This time he smiled.

"I don't know...I'll have to see, I have a very busy schedule." He had a grin on his face.

"Ok, you do that, if you wanna go though I gotta know by tomorrow, deal?"

He shook his head and we continued walking.

When we got to my house I was happy, the awkward walk had been so strange...

I walked inside and took off my hat.

"Y/n who was that?" My brother tried to look behind me.

"Nobody."

"Who's nobody?"

"Nobody."

"Yeah who is it?"

"None of your business Chris."

"It better not be a stupid sandlot boy, like Porter..."

I sighed and tried to walk past him.

"You not going anywhere till you tell me who it was."

"Dadddd!" I yelled.

"Snitch."

I smirked and my dad came around the corner.

"Chris is being annoying."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"
