Three Months To Prove You Wrong

Chapter Four

•Braxton's POV•

As soon as I got home, my mom asked me how the party was, thankfully she didn't know I was intoxicated.

"How was the party hon?" my mom asked me. "Did you sleepover or something?"

I lied and replied with, "Yeah, I slept over,"

"Well, was the party fun? What did you do?" my mom got me a hot mug of chamomile tea, which really helped because I was so hungover.

"Oh you know, just normal boy sleepover stuff, play video games, raid the fridge," I told my mom. "Nothing really interesting happened." Maybe except the fact that I met this amazing girl, but I won't tell my mom that part yet.

•Skye's POV•

I was debating whether or not to text Braxton when I got home. And of course, my ma was gone. Ever since my dad left us, it's been just me and my ma. She's always working full time, day shifts and night shifts, and I barely get to see her. We never have any time together, and when she gets home, it's just a quick, "Hello Skye, how was your day?" and I always have the same reply, "Good." That's all we say to each other. Anyway, I sat on my bed with my white iPhone 5S in my right hand, and Braxton's number on the napkin in my left hand.

'Should I text him?'

'No! Don't text him or you'll sound too clingy!'

'But what if he wants to text me?'

'No! Don't do it!' was all I could think about. I was having an angel-and-devil-on-my-shoulder situation, except I don't know which one was the angel and devil.

I finally made up my mind and decided to text him tomorrow morning. I really, really like this guy. He's kind of the rebel musician type, which I totally dig. But do I actually like-like this guy? I know, that sounds kinda second-gradeish, but I was still wondering if I have a crush on him, and if he feels the same way. He seems like a nice guy, since he was always smiling at me. Ugh, I can't stop thinking about him! I mean, he's just so...cute! I don't know about you, but I think I am most definitely crushing on Braxton. Big time.

•Braxton's POV•

Have you ever had a crush, and all you could think about in your head is "Nope nope nope nope nope nope"? Yeah, that's my situation right now. But I was debating if I actually have a crush on Skye. She's like a free spirit, a dreamer, always happy. I mean, who couldn't get hypnotized by those sparkly blue eyes? I was waiting for her to text me, but I still hadn't gotten a message from her yet.

'She'll probably text me tomorrow,' I thought to myself. 'But she's probably not into me though, she'll text me if she remembers anything about last night.'

I really want to ask her out to dinner, but I don't know where I'd take her. What if she likes Italian food? What if she doesn't? Does she like Chinese? Mexican? Greek? I had no idea where to take her, if I do ask her out, if I even have the guts to. I just really hope she says yes, I really like this girl.

•Skye's POV•

I texted Mikayla and Kendall in the group message.

Skye: hey guys, sorry I didnt answer any of your calls

Mikayla: omg Skye! we missed you! are you okay?! are you hurt?!

Kendall: Tell us EVERYTHING!

Skye: well I woke up & saw something on my arm that said, "starbucks 3pm" & so I drove to starbucks, and met this guy, and we recapped what happened last night. aannnndddd I kinda like him! idk, he's just so...ugh!

Kendall: What?! No way?! You haven't like anyone since 7th grade!

Mikayla: yeah, what's up with that? and who's the guy?

Skye: Braxton

Kendall: No shit Braxton! You like him?!

Mikayla: gurrrllll, you have great taste in guys

Skye: what about him? I know he's cute, but like, what else?

Mikayla: he's a bad boy, a musician, and available! did he ask you out?

Skye: what? no! even though i want him to, but he probs won't

Kendall: Shut the hell up. He will.

Skye: and how do you know?

Kendall: Well, did he smile a lot when you two were talking at Starbucks?

Skye: yeah

Mikayla: yesyesyes! he's into you!

Skye: whats the big deal? he was just smiling, that doesn't mean anything!

Kendall: Yes it does, that guy barely smiles when a girl talks to him, it has to mean something!

Mikayla: if he asks you out, tell us EVERYTHING

Skye: and you're sure he will?

Kendall: Next time you see him, check his body language

Skye: and what's that supposed to mean? lol

Mikayla: Kendall dont scare her like that!

Skye: like what?

Kendall: I know Mik, she doesn't know what it's like when a guy likes you

Skye: stfu! bitches :p

Mikayla: sorry but you dont

Skye: okay, but can you guys tell me any kind of body language to look out for?

Kendall: If he leans in when talking to you, if he smiles a lot, tries to find a way to touch you like hugging, tickling, tries to hold your hand, and of course, if he asks you out! c:

Skye: thanks! and I'll let you know if he asks me out cx

Mikayla: and you better spill EVERYTHING

Skye: I will, trust me

I stopped texting them there. Now I know what to do when I see Braxton again, and hopefully, he'll ask me out.

•Braxton's POV•

It's official. I was going to ask Skye out. But I still don't know where yet. I was thinking Italian food at this one place where they have live music and dancing. But will she like it? I sure as hell hope so. I want Skye to have the best night ever with me, she means a lot, and I don't usually fall in love so easily.
