My Valentine

The concert (part 1)

The week passed so quickly that I didn't even noticed. Our concert was the next day, I was so excited, but also terrified for one simple reason... I still haven't talked with them. I should have done what Cami told me and talked to them, but I didn't. I was too afraid of that, and now it was too late... what was I gonna do...? I only had some hours left before meet with Emily to catch the plane to NY, maybe I had some time left before, to talk to Heather, and then I could just talk with Emy on the plane. That was a good plan, right? I was about to call Heather when the doorbell rang.
- Kevin, there is a girl here and she wants to talk with you.- my mom said.
- I'm going, just wait a minute!!!
It could only be Emy, but we had agreed to meet at the airport. Why was she here?
I walked to the door and I couldn't believe in who I saw.
- Hi, Kevin!!!
- What are you doing here?
It was Heather. She just spawned in my house. How is this possible?? I didn't called her, so why was she there?
- I just wanted to talk with you, my boyfriend!!!
Oh yeah, I just had forgotten that I was her boyfriend.
- Oh, ok, so, how was your day, girlfriend?
- It's 8 am, the only thing I did today was come here.
- Yes, right. Why are you here? Like we could just talk on the phone, you didn't needed to wake up early just to come here to talk with me. You know that, right?
- Yes but, what I need to talk with you it's very important, and I needed to tell you personally.
- I'm gonna give you guys some space.- My mom said and then left.
(...)
- Kevin, won't you say a word?
- Ah, I...
- I literally came to your house just to tell you that I bought tickets to Conan's concert, just to go with you, and all you say it's "Ah, I..."? Am I a joke to you, Kevin?
- No, no, but...
- But, what?
- I am already going with someone.
- Ah... someone that's not your girlfriend? Who are you going with? That crazy and impulsive girl... what's her name again?
- Her name is Emily, and yes I'm going with her. We had planned this for months.
- And she's more important to you than me, am I right?
- Well...
- I knew it. You still love her. You love that crazy maniac.
- I never said that...
- You do, and you know she likes you too. I guess... you never liked me that way...
- What, Heather, don't say that...
- You only dated me, to forget her... am I right?
- I'm... I'm sorry Heather...
- Hm, it's ok.
- I'm sorry, I really am. Wait, it's ok?
- Yeah, I could feel that you still liked her, so it's ok. You didn't broke my heart that much.
- So you are not going to the concert?
- Oh I'm still going, I didn't used all of my money on that ticket and hotel to stay at home.
- But you don't listen to him anyways.
- That's a lie, I started listening to Conan when you told me you liked him.
- You did that, for me?
- Of course, you were my boyfriend, right?
- Yes. I have to go now, I still have to finish doing my bags and then I told Emily that I was gonna meet her at the airport at 9 o'clock, so I need to get ready.
- Yes, me too. Bye.
- Bye.
Ok, I finally talked with Heather. We solved things so this time, I had a chance with Emily, maybe we could finally date. This was perfect.
I finished my bags, went to a Starbucks to get some coffee, and then finally went to the airport.
I saw Emily there, she looked so amazing. She had her light brown hair shining at the lights, she was wearing a beautiful white t-shirt with blue stripes, and a brown jacket. She was stunning. I walked to get closer to her. She saw me and she looked happy but also sad, somehow.
- Hi Kevin!!! You look great!!!
- Hi Emy!!!- this was my chance.- You look stunning.
- Awwww, thank you!!!
- You probably already know but, you always look this way... perfect.
- Awwww, why are you being so nice today? I... I thought you were dating Heather...
- Oh... yeah.- YEAH?! BRO WHAT?! I JUST TOLD HER, YEAH?!? BUT I JUST BROKE UP WITH HEATHER?!? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?!?
- I... I'm sorry about last week, I literally lost my mind and... you don't need to forgive me. I know what I did was not right, like, I literally punched Heather just because you kissed her... it wasn't her fault, but I decided to try to accept your relationship with her. I already know that I'm gonna be your best friend, nothing more than that, you're with Heather now and I'm sure she loves you... just not like how I love you.- EMILY, I DONT LOVE HEATHER, OK?!? WE EVEN BROKE UP, PLEASE PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!! I WAS STARTING TO LOSE MY MINDDDD!!!
- I'm sorry...- WHY AM I SORRY?!?- You deserve a better guy than me...- Ok I was done, I was worse than Emily. Someone needed to help me understand that... I WAS NOT DATING HEATHER, NOT ANYMORE!!! I was so angry at myself.
- Oh... maybe you're right. - I wasn't right, forget every word I just said Emily, I was just embarrassing myself for nothing.
-Yeah, just maybe...
It was finally the time, our fly to NY, I was so excited!!! I haven't been to NY since my parents got divorced... It was 11 years, but it was already time to visit the city.
The time passed, this time not that quickly, but it was good because I was sitting next to Emily. She was so tired that she even slept on my shoulder, my heart started pounding faster and faster. I was feeling like I was almost having an heart attack. I needed to calm down or I was gonna die on that plane, before watching Conan. That couldn't happen. I tried to distract myself with something so I put my headphones and started watching Miraculous. I didn't care about what people say, I love Miraculous, and the people that hate it because "it's a kids tv show" are so wrong and, to be honest, they didn't watch it the right way or didn't watch it at all. I identified a lot with Luka, his personality and way of being it looked a lot like mine, I felt so bad when Marinette rejected him, but I was sure he was gonna find true love at some point of the show.
I stopped watching it and took of my headphones off, when someone touched my shoulder and said something that I didn't understood.
- Kevin, I'm so tired.
- You should go back to sleep, Emily.
- I'm not sure, I'm tired but not sleepy.
- I get it.
- You know, there's something I wanna do since a long time.
- What?
She looked into my eyes, her beautiful blue shiny eyes were staring into my brown eyes, like we were connected. She pulled me a little bit closer and then she put her head closer to mine. Our lips were almost touching each other. She was gonna kiss me.
- This...
We were so close to each other, almost kissing, when someone appeared and destroyed our moment.
- Hey guys!!!
- C-Cami??
- Cami?? Who is Cami??
- What are you doing here??- YOU DESTROYED WHAT WAS GONNA BE OUR FIRST KISS!!!
- I'm going to see Conan, remember??
- I thought you were already at NY.
- No, I'm going to my father's house today.
- Hmm, sorry to interrupt but, who are you?
- Kevin, you never told your "not girlfriend" about me? I feel very offended.
- I guess I forgot...
- Well, I'm one of Kevin's best friends since we were kids. We lost our contact when he went to Texas but then I went to Texas too and, here we are.
- Oh ok, nice to meet you!!!
- Cami, to be honest, you appeared in the worst moment possible.
- Oh... you guys were having a "non-partners" moment??
- Ahhhh... well...
- I'm sorry I interrupted you guys. I'm leaving to my sit now. Keep doing what you guys were doing, ok?
She left to her sit. I was so embarrassed, we almost kissed and then Cami appeared. I was so mad at her. We were going to kiss... this was not a movie so, why someone random needed to appear to destroy our kiss moment like in one? This was so ridiculous, completely ridiculous. I was going to cry.
We spent the rest of the time without saying a word, I guess Emily was as embarrassed as I were. Sadly we couldn't go back to that moment and ignore Cami, so we just kept our frustration in silence.
We we finally there, New York City, how I missed that city. I grew up, most of my life in Texas, but part of it in New York. I had so many memories there, some good others bad. We entered in the subway to go my friend's house. It was not far away from there, but subway was the easiest way to get there.
On the subway we didn't said a word, again. It was so full of people, I was sitting on a place, near to the door, Emily was standing in front of me. Suddenly she lost her balance and fell on my lap. We looked at each other and we didn't said a word. My heart started pounding more and more, again. This was like a déjà vu of our "almost" first kiss. She got up and I could see that she was embarrassed, because her face was all red, mine was probably like that too. This felt like an eternity, but then finally the doors opened and we left the subway.
We only needed to walk a little bit until we found my friend's house. We knocked the door and my friend's mom opened it.
- Hello, you are probably my son's friends, right?
- Yes, yes we are. It's me, Kevin!!!
- Oh my god!!! Kevin, how you grew up!!! You look very handsome!!! And I suppose that girl next to you is your girlfriend??
- He's not my boyfriend, he's just a good friend. Plus he already has a girlfriend.
- Oh, I thought you guys were dating because of what Lucas told me, but it's ok if you guys are just friends!!! I hope you feel comfortable in our house.
- Thank you, miss Jones!!!
We entered in Lucas house. We were finally at New York!!! The concert was the next day, at night. I was so excited!!! Even more because I was not going alone, I was going with Emily. Maybe that was the perfect time and the perfect place to tell her what I was feeling. Yes, I was gonna do that. I was gonna tell her that I had broken up with Heather and that she was the only girl in my heart, since always, it always have been her. I was so excited to tell her all of that. That was gonna be the best night of our lives!!!
