Teach Me How to Kiss |Jake Sim|

Deva stared at the phone ring for the third time as she crossed her arms.

Her roommate stared at her with amusement.

"Is that Charles?"

"Maybe." She said quietly as she waited for it to stop ringing, but when it did, it would just start over.

Deva took a deep breath, before grabbing the phone and answering it.

"Hello?" She said softly as she waited for him to answer.

"Hey... I called you for a while, and you didn't answer." He laughed making Deva let out a small awkward laugh.

"Yeah, I was in the bathroom." She said as she ran a hand through her hair, before biting her nail.

There was a small awkward silence as none of them knew what to say.

"How was your day?"

"It was okay. How was yours?" Deva stood up as she started pacing.

"It was good. I was wondering if you'd like to go on another date."

Deva froze making her roommate look at her in question, trying to figure out what he was saying.

"Um, I guess."

"You don't sound very excited?" He chuckled awkwardly making Deva hit her forehead.

"No, I want to go." She said as she shook her head, making her roommate shake her head in disapproval.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, well I'll text you the details."

"Yeah."

"Bye."

"Yeah."

Charles let out a small laugh as he hung up the phone, making her sigh and throw the phone on the bed.

"Why do I keep agreeing?" She whined as she sat down at her desk with a thump.

"I personally don't know, Deva. You got yourself into that situation-"

"Well, he's not that bad. And he's cute. He just makes me nervous-"

The phone dinging with a message interrupted her, making them look at it.

Deva let out a groan as she reached for the phone, thinking it was a message from Charles, but it was Jake, making her feel extreme relief.

If it was Charles, she wouldn't even know what to say.

Jake: {Hey Dev, I know you don't like parties, but my birthday is tomorrow and I'm hosting a small get together tonight at the student apartments. I don't promise there being no drunks, but I'm planning to stay sober, so I can take you back to your dorm whenever you want! Let me know.}

Deva stared at the text for a few seconds before starting to answer, only to see the notification bar.

Red Flag Charles: {There's a party tonight, wanna go together?}

Is this supposed to be some type of sign to go?

Deva stared at Jake's text as she bit her lip.

//I'll go.

Jake: {Really? Party starts at 9, student apartment 345.  See you there, Dev!}

"What do I keep getting myself into?" She groaned again as she went to her bed and jumped on face first.
