Chapter 13: Simply Relaxing

*Sam's P.O.V*

"You didn't have to hang out with me if you were busy." I said to Demetri as we were sitting on lounge chairs by the backyard pool.

"It's alright, I wasn't that busy today." He started, "Yasmine is at the mall with Moon so I had plenty of free time."

We weren't just sitting on lounge chairs, by the pool. We were also doing face masks and had cucumbers over our eyes to release stress.

Demetri didn't even try to argue about it when I suggested the idea to him.

Which surprised me.

When I told him the idea, he was all for it and he even helped me get the things before we came to the backyard and got started. He seemed happy to be doing a face mask and it made me smile at his excitement.

So here we were.

Laying by the pool and soaking up the sun.

Since the last time at the dojo, I couldn't keep my eyes off of Hawk.

But I only looked at him when he wasn't looking.

It was hard not being near him but he wants distance right now. So I can't go against his word.

So when everyone was at the dojo, I ended up talking to Miguel the whole time.

Miguel and I are still friends so it was okay for us to talk.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"So I have a question to ask you, Sam."

"What is it?"

"Do you have a crush on Hawk?"

Out of everything that he could ask me, I wasn't expecting him to ask me that question.

"What makes you think I like Hawk?" I asked.

I can't exactly look at him right now because the cucumbers were still over my eyes.

"He told me about the movie thing."

There was a part of me that knew he would tell Demetri. They're best friends so I'm sure Hawk tells him everything.

So if Demetri already has a clue about what's going on, what could happen if he knows about my feelings for his best friend?

"Yes, I have a crush on Hawk." I admitted.

It felt weird to tell Demetri even though we're pretty good friends too. This is normal, right?

"I kind of figured." He said, "After he told me about how you asked to watch a movie with him, a part of me thought that you would have a crush on him."

"Are you mad about this at all?"

"I have no reason to be mad. It's your feelings so you feel what you feel."

"That's a relief." I let out a sigh. "I was a bit scared of your reaction."

"You don't have to be scared of my reaction." He took a breath. "The only reaction you should be scared of is Miguel's."

"Trust me, Demetri. I'm scared of his reaction too."

What would Miguel think of this? He would be pissed.

"He'll probably be more mad at Hawk than you." He said.

"Maybe." I shrugged and tried not to think about it.

"Is that the reason why you fell at the dojo?"

Just at the mention of the embarrassing moment, I'm shook with horror as I'm reminded of me falling at the dojo in front of Hawk. That's a moment that I want to forget because I embarrassed myself.
