Chapter 18
Thomas POV
Something is off between me and Joey. I have a feeling like he getting back together with Michael.
Since that day I found him hiding from Michael, I've felt a difference in Joey's behavior. I haven't brought it up though, maybe I should.
My hand tightens in Joeys by instinct, I'm scared. What if he tells me that he still has feelings for Michael? I bite my lip looking down at my feet as we walk back to his house. I catch Joey looking at me so I loosen my hand and go back to staring at the ground as we walk.
Was this a farewell date, he played for everything today, I hate when he does that, I rather pay for him. Was this the last date before he breaks up with me?
My friends say I'm whipped because I never hang out with them anymore, that's true but I'm not whipped. I'm not even sure if he likes me the way I do.
Should I bring up Michael? Would that make him angry and want to break up with me?
A headache forms as I think about too many things at once.
"Thomas?" Joey's voice is soft.
I look to him and we have stopped moving, now standing in front of his house.
"Yeah?" I say looking him in the eye.
"Are you okay, you're squeezing my hand." I let go if his hand and a blush forms on my face. Should I ask him now?
"Sorry, I was just thinking." Yep even if I wanted to I can't keep my mouth shut.
"About what, Thomy?" A nickname that somehow appeared one day and now he says it whenever, it makes me blush.
"You and Michael, I feel like..." I look away from him and put my hands behind my back.
"Thomy?" He hugs me taking hold of my hands. My arms loosen and I wrap them around him.
I take a deep breathe and start again, "Are you still seeing Michael?" He bites his lip and nods.
"He isn't doing too well so I check up on him sometimes." He says and I feel like he is lying. I feel bad for not believing him. "I would never cheat on you Thomas."
I nod, something else is off but I don't know what. Does Joey still love Michael, did he ever? I bite my lip and force myself to not ask, I don't want to know the answer.
"Thomy, you okay?" He moves closer to me and I fight myself to smile.
"I should go," I say turning to my car. "My mom is making burgers." I walk to the drivers side of the car and unlock it.
Thomas is still standing in the same place I left him, hugging himself, looking so cute.
He waves and I wave back before starting my car and leaving.
Driving home I make a u-turn and make my way to Lyne's house. She's home from school all summer.
I hope she is home now.
I ring the doorbell but no one answers. I make my way to the back door, it's always open when Lyne is home.
I make my way to her room, I hear a weird wet noise, she must be painting. I knock anyway.
"Shit, who is it?" She whispers then screams.
"Thomas, you know your best friend!" I yell back.
The door swings open and the sight I see is scaring.
"What?" She asks standing proudly in lace underwear and a push up bra.
"Whoa!" I turn my head to the side covering my face. "Where's your clothes?"
"On the floor somewhere." She says not fazed by the fact that she is almost naked.
"Hi!" I hear another high voice but I refuse to look afraid I'll see another half naked girl.
"Hey, uh, sorry I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll just go." I say looking into my hands.
"No it's fine, just give us a second to get dressed."
"Okay," the door closes and I release my hands. Ew did I just walk in on them... ew no not those thoughts. I sit down on the floor.
"Thomas, what up bud?" I look up to see her hand in hand with another girl. I stand.
"Right now probably isn't the time..." The girl she is holdings hands with looks the complete opposite of Lyne, she has pretty, long blond curly hair with a pink bow in it. She is wearing a pink dress to match.
"No, You only show up unexpectedly when something is really bothering you." I smile awkwardly. Not sure if I want to talk about this in front of this mystery girl. "Oh, this is Marissa." Lyne says smiling at the other girl.
"Hi." She smiles at me.
"We've been dating for like a couple days now."
"5 days, Lyne." They kiss. "I have to go, text me." Marissa says before skipping down the hall.I raise my brow.
"She's so sexy."
"Ew!" I shudder. Nasty.
"So what up, spill it all out to mama." Lyne says once we sat comfortably on her hipi looking rug.
I told her everything, every feeling I had about Joey. Then I got to Michael and I watched as her face expression changed.
"Sounds like they still have feeling for each other, bud." She pats my back.
"I don't know what to do, I feel like Joey loves Michael more than me." Lyne hums for a second.
"Talk to him about it, I don't know what else to say. Do you really, really like him?" I nod, he was my first.
"No matter what happens don't regret anything. I can tell there is a spot in your heart for him and I'm sure there is one in his. Sounds like he is just concerned for his ex. But I only know what you told me so, talk to him." I let out a huge sigh. I always say way too much, it's easier to just not say anything.
"What if I say the wrong thing?"
"Knowing you, you just say what's on your mind. If you're thinking it, it probably isn't wrong, it's how you feel. Your feelings shouldn't be wrong. Stop doubting yourself. Be confident with your feelings. Be that guy who told him you liked him after only a few minutes of talking to him." I smile thinking about that embarrassing time.
"Okay, thanks."I say hugging her.
"I only do things like this for you."I laugh. "Want ice cream and a movie?"
"Hell yes!"
