"𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆"

It had been 4 months since me and Miles talking again. Everything is going well for me, I have my bestie back, my grades are good, and my friendships are thriving. Miles even sits at my lunch tables sometimes. To tell the truth, I felt like I've been walking on air for the last few months. Everything seems too good to be true. If I die right now I wouldn't even be mad. This is gonna be my year for sure. No doubt about it.

"Asia, are you and Miles together now?" Kiersten asks me.

I snap back to reality where I'm walking the track with Kiersten during our P.E. block. "U-uhm no.." I trip over my words, her question caught me off guard. "Oh, so would you be mad if I asked him out?" Kiersten looks for anything that suggests that I would be upset. I'm so glad Miles taught me how to keep a straight face. If not, I would've gave Kiersten such a crazy look.
"It's fine I guess." I mumble to her. It's not fine, I can feel my stomach tense up and my hands get hot. I mean she did say he was cute but I thought she was just playing around. I wanna punch her dead in her face for even asking.

We aren't even dating but that really got under my skin. I can't be mad, Kiersten's my friend. Right..?

In fourth block, I was talking to Miles when Kiersten came up to him. "Hey, Miless!" she said dragging out the "s". I cringed so hard in my head. "Hey." Miles replied to her then continued our conversation. "So um." She continued. I like Kiersten but sometimes she could be really dense sometimes. "Do you wanna go to the skating rink Friday night?" Kiersten's twirling her hair with her fingers. Miles looks at me then at Kiersten. "Sure." Miles shrugs. "See you then." She walks away giggling. "Miles, what the hell?!" I whisper to him, I'm trying my best to contain my jealousy. "What? She just wants to skate." Miles whispers back.

Ohhh. I get it, he doesn't think it's a date. Man, I know way too many dense people. Two too many.

"Can I come over tonight?" I ask, "I don't wanna go home because my mom is working a double shift all night." Miles nods.
School is over so miles walks with me to my house and get some things to spend the night. Back at Miles' house I thank his mom for letting stay the night. "Really, it's no problem, Myasia!" She gives me a quick hug. "Don't get too crazy, your uncle will be here later." Ms. Morales leaves shortly after that. "So what do you tryna do?" Miles asks me, looking around his apartment.
I really wanna say "you." but I hold my tongue. "Let's watch something." We both sit on the couch and watch Love Is Blind for an hour.

I start to get tired. I went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I changed out of my day clothes and into my pajamas. It was a baggy tee and some shorts.

I brushed my teeth and I put my faux locs into low bun after putting a scarf for my hair. "You aren't tired, dimpy?"  Miles is still on the couch watching tv. "Just a lil bit, smiley." Miles looks at over at me, checking me out. I smirk devilishly when I noticed this. "Aren't you gonna change too?" I cross my arms, is he really that entranced by me? "Huh? Oh." Miles retreats to the bathroom with pajamas and comes out in a black tank top and basketball shorts. I can see his abs through his shirt. I do everything in my power to keep myself from feeling them.

We in his room and I'm looking at his bed. It's big but we would both be on it. At the same time. All night long. All night.

I built a pillow barrier in the middle of his bed. I step back to admire my work. "Is that really necessary?" Miles is spinning around in his desk chair looking at the barriers. "Extremely necessary. I'm sleeping near the wall." I tell him getting on to my side on his bed. "Lo que tu digas niña bonita." Miles mumbles under his breath while getting into bed. "What you say?" I turn to Miles. "I said your annoying, now go to bed." He turns out the lights then kisses my cheek "night, smiley."

This boy is gonna be the death of me, I can feel it.
