I'm a mess (on hold) :: kian a.u

chapter 3

krista

it's currently 2 o'clock and my date with jack is in two hours. I don't really know if it's considered a date, but I'll count it as one since it's not everyday that a hot guy asks me out.

the only boy I've ever liked is kian, so this is a big deal for me. I'm really nervous, actually.

I threw on jeans and a flannel and put my hair in a ponytail. all I've been thinking about lately is kian, so hopefully this will take my mind off of him.

4 o'clock

I called an uber to take me to panera. when we arrived, I saw jack waiting outside. he was in a leather jacket and jeans with some vans. thankfully, I was not the only one dressed casual. his hair is messy today, but I was rather fond of it. when I stepped out of the car he didn't notice me right away. then he saw me and his face lit up.

"hey cutie! how are you?" he says.

"I'm good! I like your jacket."

"I knew you'd like it. so what do you want to eat?" he asks as we walk inside.

"macaroni and cheese with a green tea please." I replied.

I chose a table for us while jack ordered our food. I heard 'heart skipped a beat' by the xx playing in the background.

"I love this song." I said as jack sat down.

"me too!" jack replied. good music taste is always a plus in a relationship.

"thanks for buying me lunch. I absolutely love panera." I said.

"see, i never would've guessed that. we know absolutely nothing about each other except that we both like panera and the xx." he said.

"I know! let's play a game. I'll list a category and we'll both list our favorite things. okay?"

"okay. you go first."

twenty minutes and a bowl of macaroni and cheese later, I've found out a lot about jack. his last name is gilinsky, he sings apparently, he loves sunsets, roller coasters and rap music.

"I've had a really good time with you, krista. are you free on saturday?" he asks.

"I'll have to check my calendar. what did you have in mind?"

"wanna go to six flags with me? it's sort of a far drive but I'll pick you up and we can go."

"I'm absolutely terrified of rollercoasters...but sure. what the heck." he laughed.

"see you then, cutie."

I can't believe I have to wait until saturday to see him again. I was nervous about our date for no reason. talking to him comes naturally for me.

kian has been texting me all afternoon, but I've been ignoring him.

I texted jc to tell him about jack.

to: cloud boy

jc! I gotta tell you something

I want him to be the first one I tell about him.

to: krissy kris

omg kris what is it?

to: cloud boy

at the club the other night I met this really cute guy (shocking, I know) named jack. i just got done eating lunch with him at panera.

to: krissy kris

REALLY??? YOU HAVEN'T LIKED A GUY SINCE KIAN. THIS IS AMAZING. can me and connor come over later to get all the dirty details??

to: cloud boy

of course! kian's coming over right now to tell me about andrea...lord help me.

after I pulled up in the driveway I see kian standing at my doorstep.

"where the hell were you?" he says, pacing back and forth.

"sorry. I was at lunch with... a friend." I explained, hoping he wouldn't ask questions.

"whatever. I need to talk to you to get your advice."

I need to tell him about jack first. I know this is a bad time, but I really need to. especially considering what he said to me yesterday.

"I need to tell you something first. I was at lunch with this boy I met at the club named jack. I really like him, kian."

"wow. what perfect timing. I'm just getting out of a relationship and you're getting into one? you know what, forget it. I'll tell you later." he says, walking to his car.

well that makes me correct; kian does like me. I feel horrible, but I needed to tell him. I hate keeping things from him.

I heard the doorbell ring; I forgot jc and connor were coming over.

"hey guys!" I said, opening the door.

"kris, tell us all of the details. is he cute, how tall is he, what's his favori-" connor says.

"don't worry, I'll tell you everything!"

after four hours of discussing everything that had happened, jc and connor finally left. they were probably more excited about my love life than me.
