"I have feelings for Nick Jonas." I blurted as soon as Maria answered the phone. She whistled and laughed.
"Damn girl, join the club. Have you seen those muscles?" She asked.
Yeah, I have seen the muscles. In real life.
"No Maria this is different." I said.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Obviously he is Kevin's brother and our paths have been crossing a lot more lately. I get butterflies and we click and get along so well. I don't know what to do. Am I cheating on Kyle?" I asked, feeling nervous.
Kyle and I have been dating since our sophomore year of high school. He's my one and only and I was his. I was crossing into uncharted territory here and I wasn't sure if it was normal or not. I am going to marry Kyle, that's been the plan forever and it wasn't changing.
But then there's Nick and something about him and I just... fits.
"Has anything happened with Nick?" She asked.
"No." I answered honestly.
"Then you aren't cheating." She said.
"But I feel like I am. I lie to Kyle about him and I catch myself thinking about him." I said.
"Well personally I think that normal. I mean it is Nick Jonas. But I understand you're upset. Maybe you should talk to Kyle?" She offered.
When she said that, I thought back to when Nick made the comment about open communication the day I was stuck at his apartment. For the love of God I could not stop thinking about this guy!
I nodded and realized she couldn't see me.
"Yeah. He will understand." I said, although I didn't really believe myself.
"Go talk to him. Call me later." She said, sounding worried. Maybe she didn't believe me either.
I ended the phone conversation and ran a brush through my hair before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs.
"Dad, I'm going to see Kyle. I won't be long." I said to my father, who was making dinner in the kitchen.
"Okay honey. Be careful, its getting dark and we're supposed to get rain." He said.
"I will be." I promised, walking out the door.
The forty five minute ride felt like hours longer than it should have been. The closer I got to the school, the more worried I was about this conversation. I knew I needed it for peace of mind but I wasn't sure how Kyle would react. He had a tendency to be hot headed.
I parked in the usual lot and called him.
"Hey baby." He said when he picked up.
"Hey, I'm outside." I said.
"And to what do I owe this surprise?" He asked.
"I just have to talk to you." I said.
"Okay, I'll let you in." He said, sounding more serious.
I met him in the lobby and gave him a kiss before following him to his room. His roommate must have sensed the tension because the moment we walked in he made an excuse about needing to get homework from someone down the hall.
"What's up?" Kyle said, turning to face me.
"I just have had something on my mind lately and I think I need to tell you about it." I said.
This was the most uncomfortable conversation I have ever had, and I was talking around the subject.
"Okay, you can tell me." He said with an encouraging smile.
