Beyond Spoken Words

chapter 7

Now the gap between Brian and Whitney was almost gone, their lips merely seconds from meeting. She knew this was wrong, she knew what was going to happen shouldn’t happen but couldn’t bring herself to stop it and she didn’t want to. “Its Brian” she exclaimed in her mind, the guy she has had a crush on since the sixth grade (6). How could she bring herself to stop something she has wanted for a long time and Brian isn’t being much of a help. After the two years he spent abroad he came back looking even more irresistible; his brown silky hair, his chiseled abs, his breath taking stature and his sky blue eyes that’s like getting lost in the sky If you stare at them too much, no, she didn’t have the power of say no to him . Luckily she didn’t have to; they were interrupted by someone they both never expected.

“Justin? ” Whitney and Brian said both paralyzed with shock
Justin just got back from lacrosse camp and came straight to Whitney’s spot to see her, sadly seeing Whitney and Brian about to lock lips isn’t what he was expecting to see especially after confessing his feelings to Whitney before going for camp.

“Hey man where’ve you been, I came looking for you when I got back but your folks said you were at camp, I thought they were joking but now I see they weren’t, look at how much you’ve grown” Brian said while going in to hug his old friend.

Something about Brian’s statement got Whitney thinking, she took a second look at Justin and noticed his features that she had missed all the while, While staring at Justin and undressing him with her eyes she is pulled back to reality by the call of her name 

“I’m here for Whitney”, Justin said
“I just came back from camp and tried your phone but you didn’t answer so I tried your mum and she told me you’d be here, so I’m here to take you home.”

“Take her home? When did you become her chaperone or is something else going on here… Don’t tell me you two are…?” Brian asked

“Don’t be delusional” Whitney said cutting him short and dragging Justin by the arm out of the park.

“To be Continued” Brian shouted as he watched Whitney and Justin leave the park

*In Justin’s car*
A cloud of awkward silence looms over the car as they drive back to Whitney’s house both having a lot to say but none knowing how to start. Things have never been this awkward between them before, they’ve always found talking to each other easy, but today it seemed like the hardest thing to do
“So your back” Whitney said trying to break the silence
“Yup”
“And you called my mum!”
“Yh sorry about that, I tried calling you but you didn’t answer”
“Yh… I kinda left my phone in the car, needed to clear my head”
And just like it was set on cue the awkward silence set back in but it didn’t stop Justin from saying what he had on his mind this time.
“Sooo… Brian is back” Justin asks which Whitney reply’s with a nod “So what’s to be continued?”
