Is There a Right Person?

Shark in the Water (6)

Regina's POV

"How do you know that?" I persisted.
"Because, you're my sister, and I know your secret."
"Huh?"
There was a pause of just silence, I looked at Melvin, I could feel my jaw drop, did he...really know my secret?
"Well..what is it then?" I asked, hoping he was just lying.
"You..." He paused for a moment before continuing.
"You, have a crush on Daniel."
"Pfft, w-what?" I tried to laugh it off, "I..
I don't! What made you even think that?"
"Oh, come on!" Melvin rolled his eyes, "you even confessed to liking him before!"
"What? How do you know that?" I questioned him.
"Regina, you said it on camera, everyone knows that." Melvin said as him and I continued to walk back to the safe house.
"Well... Fine, I do still like him." I said in defeat.
"Aha! You admit it!" Melvin teased.
"Oh, shut up!" I said trying to hide my laugh and fake punched him in the shoulder.
We got back to the safe house about 4-5 minutes later to find Chad and Vy there.
"Oh, hey," Vy said, "where were you two?"
"Oh, we just went for a little walk." I said, only half telling the truth.
"Yep." Melvin said as him and I took of our shoes and jacket and slyly walked to our room.
"Listen." He said. "I need to tell you something."
"Hm? What is it?" I asked.
"Well..." He stopped for a minute, looking around.
"I.. Think I might have a small... crush on Daniel." He said, saying the end part quickly.
I started at him for a minute, not knowing what to say.
"O-oh. Okayyy.." I finally replied
"Y-yeah. I'm.. I'm gay." He admitted.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah."
I started at him for a bit, then smiled and hugged him.
"That's great, Melvin! I'm so proud of you!" I told him smiling.
"R-Really?" He said, his voice sounding shaky.
"Of course!" I said pulling back from the hug.
"T-thank you.." He said smiling, I smiled back and we talked for a couple of minutes, before I brought Daniel back up again.
"So, um, about both of us liking Daniel.." I said.
"Oh, yeah." He replied. "Um, I mean.. You can like, have him if you want, I mean like you can tell him you like him if you want."
"Yeah but I already told him before, it would be awkward telling him again." I said, looking down."
"Oh, right."
I started at the wall, thinking of what to say next.
"If you want to... You can tell him you like him." I said, not making eye contact with him.
"R-really?" He asked me, "but, what if he's not into guys."
"It's worth a shot, the worst he can really say is no." I told him, trying to be as positive as I could be, "When I told him I liked him, he just sat their, staring at me, and then Alie entered and they left."
"You're right," he said, "thank you, I think I'm gonna tell him tomorrow."
"Yep, no problem!" I said smiling at him, then we both went to sleep.
