Just love me

So confusing

After that, you decide to go back to your rooms. You put on your bathing suits and go to the pool.
There you start playing volleyball in the water.
During the game, the ball goes away. A guy picks it up and heads towards you to give it back. So you go and get it.
He comes up to you and hands you the ball.

You : « thank you » about to leave.
Noah : « eh ? »
You turn around.
Noah : « you don't remember me ? »
You : « oh um yes.. Noah, right ? »
He nods, smiling.
Meanwhile, the others are waiting.
Josh : « well, y/n » 💀
Anthony : « she won't stay single for long, the little one »
Leïa : « stop.. »
Payton looks at Noah, clenching his teeth a little.
You : « well um, excuse me but I have to go » a bit uncomfortable, about to leave.
Noah : « wait, ...you didn't call me » grabbing your arm.
Payton sees him holding you back, he starts to get annoyed, so he comes to see you.
Josh : « at least return the ball »
You : « ugh yeah.. sorry but- » to Noah.
Payton : « sorry but we were playing » looking at Noah a little badly.
You look at Payton.
Noah : « sorry, I was just asking her a question »
Payton : « yeah well, maybe later »
You : « um yeah sorry »
Noah : « it's okay, go ahead » with a little smile.

You guys go back to play and finish the game.
Josh : « shall we do another one ? »
Everyone agrees except Payton.
Payton : « no, I'll stop guys » getting out of the pool.
Jaden : « seriously ?.. Well, how do we do now ? »
Chase : « don't go too far away, we're gonna eat afterwards » to Payton.
Payton : « yeah I'll be back » leaving a bit tense.
Talia : « you should go talk to him » whispering to you.
You : « why ? »
Talia : « because »
Talia : « y/n also leaves, we take Jade in our team and we're good »
You : « Talia. »
Talia : « go ahead, he's leaving »
You get out of the pool and the others start another game.

You look for Payton and see him in the distance, heading to the lobby, so you follow him.
You : « Payton ? »
He does not stop, so you run a little and catch up with him. You grab his shoulder to turn him to you.
You : « Payton. »
Payton : « what ? » a bit tense.
You : « what's wrong ? Why did you leave ? »
Payton : « leave me alone, I don't wanna talk » about to leave.
You : « you don't wanna talk about why you left or why you kissed me ? »
Payton : « what ?? YOU kissed me » turning to you.
You : « but you kissed me back. »
Payton : « I know. »
You : « ...do you regret ? »
Payton : « wbu ? » not knowing what to say.
You are about to speak, but finally you do not say anything.
Payton : « there you go » leaving.
He goes up to his room.
You sigh and stand there for a few seconds, doing nothing.

After that, you go back to the pool and sit on a lounge chair. You are frustrated and you blame yourself a little.
The others finish their game. Talia sees you and comes to you.
Talia : « so, what- ..are you okay ? »
You : « no. »
Talia : « wow.. what happened ? »
The others are coming, so you do not say anything.
Chase : « where did Payton go ? » to you.
You : « he went to his room. »
Chase : « okayy... » frowning a bit.
Talia : « well, come on girl, follow me » grabbing your hands.
You follow her and go to your room.
The others stay by the pool.

When you get to the room, you sit on your bed with Talia.
Talia : « so, what happened ? »
You sigh.
You : « we talked about the kiss, ...I asked him if he regretted, he didn't answer and asked me if I do, and I didn't answer either, so he left »
Talia : « but why you didn't answer ? »
You : « idk, what did you want me to tell him ? »
Talia : « well, the truth. That you don't regret » raising her eyes a little.
You do not say anything and look away.
Talia : « okay, well, I'm gonna tell you.. »
You : « tell me what ? »
Talia : « I've known Payton for a LONG time k, and when he finds a girl.. pretty, hot, whatever, ..well, he goes straight for it yk ? And he has been liking you since the first party actually, because, well, you're pretty and hot » 💁🏻‍♀️
You : « what- »
Talia : « so basically he just wanted to fuck you, BUT he didn't do anything »
You : « okayy.. » a bit confused and surprised.
Talia : « so you guys became "friends", AND THAT, that's really strange »
You : « it's not- »
Talia : « yes it is, because he likes you. But he hasn't gotten you into his bed yet so I'm starting to think that maybe he has feelings for you. Like real feelings »
You : « no »
Talia : « yes. Believe me, I know him, and he's.. weird »
Talia : « ...he didn't want to just.. fuck you yk, but he didn't know yet and maybe still doesn't realize that he has feelings for you » 🤡
Talia : « and he will not like it »
Talia : « anyway, so he's your "friend" » 💁🏻‍♀️
You : « I.. don't understand anything »
You : « so because he didn't fuck me that means he likes me ? That doesn't make any sense sorry »
Talia : « it does. He loves you but he's confused rn »
You : « great, I'm confused too »
You : « ...no but seriously, I know how he is with girls, I've seen him.. I don't want him to mess with me »
Talia : « but that's what I just explained to you, ugh, he doesn't do what he normally does at all. Like, he's jealous- wtf, and he stopped your kiss. And trust me, it would have been another girl, he would have fucked her right on this bed, then left »
You : « okay Talia » 🤡
You : « what am I supposed to do now ? »
Talia : « well, it depends on what you want, BUT since you want him and it shows- »
You : « no I- »
Talia : « YOU should go tell him » 😌
You : « I'm not gonna tell him anything »
Talia : « one of you has to make the first move »
You : « or we can also stay friends and everything will be fine. We'll make up and it'll go back to the way it was »
Talia : « ughh help me, this kid doesn't understand anything »
You : « but it was working fine till last night »
Talia : « yeah, so it'll work till.. idk, you fuck maybe »
You : « Talia » opening your mouth a little shocked but smiling a bit though.
Talia : « I'm only telling the truth, so go tell him » 😌
You : « no... »
