Inner Beauty

Chapter 5

Maverik POV

    Witnessing Atticus' and Waylens relationship, it made me feel and question things.

Do I have anyone to feed me food or to understand me with a simple look on my face?

Will I ever find someone who would love me and treat me just like how Atticus treats Waylen?

Seeing Waylen feeding Atticus had me feeling something which I usually haven't felt in a long while after I broke up with my ex, Jealousy.
I found their relationship so endearing and they both are complete opposites but they fit into the dynamics of their friendship really well.

Suddenly Korren tapped Atticus' shoulder asking him to 'Tell me all about it.'

Oh I know this tone very well. Odelle also understood this tone and looked visibly excited.

I found it so adorable that someone as shy as Atticus has someone who he likes but knowing his sexuality, I got curious as to who could have won a wonderful soul over.

I wonder who will be the lucky soul to be able to experience their lives with an awfully attentive and generous boyfriend. That familiar feeling crept up my neck and I knew what I was feeling.

I know it is not right to think of someone who has feelings for another but I couldn't help myself.

I felt jealous of Waylen, I wanted to be taken care of like how Atticus takes care of Waylen.

Korren immediately knew how I was feeling through the look in my eyes. My phone buzzed in my pocket, I grabbed it and checked a new message I received from Korren.

'Let's talk on our way home.'

Soon after Odelle was trying to interrogate Atticus and Waylen into spilling their secrets, which they wonderfully redirected the question to something else making him forget his original intention.

The bell rang, We all said goodbye and I watched Atticus wrap his arm around Waylen walking off to the other exit.

I'm usually the type to fall for someone really quick, that's how it went with my previous lovers but I was always too quick to judge their character.

It also is harder for me to fall out of love as my love turns into something close to obsession.

I'm fucked for having feelings towards someone who wont possibly share similar feelings with me. Korren dragged me away from my fluttering thoughts.

I absentmindedly did the daily stretches and started practicing the new overhead shot for volleyball our instructor was teaching us. I tossed the ball and left my body to auto pilot mode to drive me through my course.

The bell finally rang and I rushed off to the parking lot and I saw a scene which made me visibly upset. Atticus pulled Waylen in for a hug and opened the door for him and ran to the other side driving off.

I pouted and stomped my way to Korren who witnessed everything. I opened the car door and sat down throwing my bag to the backseat.

'Let me guess, you suddenly felt jealous of Waylen and now you like Atticus.' I said nothing as he already knew me well enough.

Korren sighed, 'Are you sure he is it this time? What if you pursue him and he doesn't reciprocate your feelings? What if you were to get into a relationship with him but he prioritizes his friend over you? What if the person he was talking about was Waylen?'

I understood where his worries were coming from.

But that was not going to stop me from spiraling and fantasizing about our relationship.

Korren sighed, 'I guess I can only advise you and I can't force you to do anything. Just know that I will be here lending you my ears and shoulder.' I finally smiled after what seemed like a long day.

I guess it's going to be my last pursuits to find the one suited for me. Korren drove as I silently fantasized and made a plan to win him over.

OPERATION MAKING ATTICUS MINE is commencing!

Let's start with a love note!
