History of You and Me

Chapter 26

It had been a couple of days since my hangout with Celia.

I had woken up feeling myself and actually in a super good mood. So I decided to take advantage of that.
I threw my hair up in a messy bun, put on some shorts and a hoodie.. which accidentally ended up being buckys hoodie that I put on.. but that's not important
And I put on some music and blasted it full volume while I did some cleaning. First my living room then onto my kitchen.

I hadn't talked to Bucky since he came to my house. And we had yet to talk about our almost kiss. -But I was trying not think about that. I'm trying to keep my good mood not dim it. Bucky just took up my brain. It's annoying as hell.

I was doing some sweeping after a lot of kitchen deep cleaning.
When my doorbell rang

I just ignored it at first until it rang again.
I guess I should get that.

I stopped my music and went over to the door.
I opened it slightly with the chain still attached
"Hello?"
I ask peaking out
"Hi Dee"
Oh my god it's dahlia
"Oh my gosh hi one second let me just-"
I closed the door and unhinged the chain. Before I reopened the door I took out my bun and ran my fingers through my hair

I opened the door and she said
"Im sorry"
"Wha-what?"
I asked
"I had no right to act how I was acting. About you and Bucky. About my- the guy. All of it. I'm so sorry."
I started to see tears form in her eyes that she tried to blink away.

I just pulled her into a hug.
"We're never fighting again ok?"
She started to cry
And we just hugged

We sat down together on the couch and she started to tell me about that guy that I saw at her place.
It was her boyfriend but she broke up with him that day and got back with her previous boyfriend. She told me she didn't feel like herself the whole time we were apart.

Then she told me
"The other day I tried coming here but you weren't here. So I went to buckys apartment to ask him where you were and he was really nice about the whole thing. I definitely misjudged him before "
Probably the day I was with Celia
"But what about you. Tell me everything that's new with you"
She asked
Where do I start
"Well Bucky and I have hung out a lot. Thing have been very.. like there's a lot of tension between the two of us. We almost kissed the other night. We haven't really gotten to talk about that though"
"Ooo"
Dahlia teased
"But there's this other guy-"
"There two guys?"
"Uh yeah- well sorta. When I went to go pick up your flowers I met this guy at the shop. And the other night he found my number and asked me out on a date. Which I just told him I'd just do a hangout since I don't know where Bucky and I stand right now"
"Your love life is all over the place"
"I know"
I laugh

"Well first step I'd say talk to Bucky. About the almost kiss or just in general"
"Yeah i know it's on my list of things to do.. soon"
"What if you went to his place now"
Dahlia suggests
"No way"
I say
"Um yes. I'll help you get all cute for him too"
"Dahlia no way. And please ever say 'get all cute for him' ever again"

Dahlia stood up and held out her hands, grabbing my hands pulling me up
"You have to talk to him"
"Fine"
I say with a sigh

She stays sitting on my couch while I go change and put on some makeup.
I just brush my hair and quickly slightly straighten it.

I run downstairs and Dal practically pushes me out the door with excitement.

Being with Dahlia now felt like nothing had changed. I'm glad I'm back with being her friend.

So I go to Buckys place.
