Denial

Chapter 34

Shaila's Pov:

"You have to tell me everything!" Naomi urges.

It is Monday, and i'm currently having lunch with Naomi on our usual spot outside. I called her on Saturday to tell her about the concert, but since she was busy with Liam I couldn't really go through the details of that night. Thats why she wants me to tell her everything, with every single detail of what happened.

"I am telling you everything!" I complain. "But let me talk and stop interrupting!"

She rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Okay, but don't miss anything out!"

I laugh, and i begin to hell her absolutely everything that happened that night. I even tell her what my crepe had, so she wouldn't miss a single detail. After i finish telling her my story, she is smiling creepily at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You're totally in love with him!" she smiles.

"No i'm not" I shake my head, even though i feel my cheeks turning a shade of red.

"Yes you are! And oh my god, you're actually blushing!" she exclaims, "Shaila Parker is blushing everyone!" she yells, and i hit her. If i wasn't red already, i am now.

"Shut up" i say, but i can't help but laugh.

"And has he asked you out again?" she asks.

"It wasn't a date Naomi" I explain, and it hurts. God how i wish that he asked me out on a date. But he hasn't, and i don't know if he will.

"You kissed, you talked, you had dinner...it sounds like a date to me"

"But it wasn't"

"Whatever you say" she says, "but whatever, has he asked you or not?"

"No" i look down at the floor.

"Well don't worry girl, because he'll ask you out any minute"

"How do you know?" I ask curiously. She can't know for sure. I know he likes me because he told me, but i don't know if he'll ask me out on a date. I mean, not because he likes me it now means that we'll start to go out, and that we'll become boyfriend and girlfriend. He could change his mind.

"Oh please!" she exclaims, "it is obvious he is totally into you!"

"But that doesn't mean anything"

"It does! So stop complaining and just be patient, because he is definitely going to ask you out"

"What if he doesn't want a relationship? I mean I coul--"

"Stop!" Naomi cuts me off, "you are over thinking it!"

I sigh, i guess she is right. I am overthinking it. What is happening to me? I normally don't like any boy and i don't overthink anything. I just let things happen and i try not to worry too much. But right now it seems like someone changed me and I'm acting like Naomi. She is always worrying about Liam and her relationship, overthinking everything...and now she is the one to tell me to stop.

"You're right, i'm sorry. I'm just nervous" I admit.

And suddenly, a voice behind us interrupts our conversation.

"Nervous about what?" i hear Niall's irish accent. I turn around to face my other best friend, and embrace him in a hug. I haven't seen him for a long time. Well, i haven't seen him for two days.

"Our little Shai is having a boyfriend" Naomi smiles, and Niall's eyes go wide in surprise.

"Really?" he asks.
