Love Is Worth Waiting For

Chapter 2

I woke up to my phone ringing. I grab it and answer the call. "Hey El," Chris says. "Hey, what's up? " I ask. "I think Megan is cheating on me," he says. "Shit," I say. "Can I come over so we can talk about this?" he asks. "Yeah that's okay," I say. "Okay cya soon" he says before ending the call. I sigh. I knew this would happen. Of course, she would cheat. Why didn't I tell him this would happen? If I did maybe this wouldn't have happened. I sigh. I guess it's my fault.

Later.

I was sitting on the sofa in my lounge when I heard a knock at the door. "Come in" I yell. I soon see Chris walk in closing the door behind him. "Hi," he says as he sits down next to me. "Well, I should have told you earlier that your girlfriend hangs around with guys and flirts with them," I say. "I know you think this is your fault but it's not," he says placing his hand on mine. I look at him but stay silent. "I should have known she was like this so don't blame yourself" he says. I smile but say nothing. We sit in silence for a while. "You better not be flirting" Max yells. "He's taken" I yell back. "Well not exactly," Chris says. I look at him confused. "I'm still with her but we're on a break" he says. "So y'all can fuck now" Max yells. "OMG MAX STFU!" I yell. Chris leans towards me slightly. "He's not wrong" Chris whispers in my ear. "I- uhm- okay," I say. He laughs. I know that was a joke but I kind of wished it wasn't. I watch as Max sits down next to Chris. I sigh. "I'll be in my room," I say as I get up.

Later.

I turn on my phone and start playing music. I began to hum to every song that came on. That was until the song Guys My Age by Hey Violet came on. I began to sing the lyrics out loud while dancing around my room. I know the guys downstairs could hear me but I didn't care. "Told him good luck with the next one. Maybe she'll just be as mature. Gotta thank him he's the reason. That I know now what I'm looking for~" I sang. I dance and sing to the rest of the song not realising Chris was standing in the doorway. "Nice voice," he says. "Fucking hell Chris," I say. "Sorry," he says. "How long have you been standing there for?" I ask. "A while" he says closing the door as he walks over to me. "How are you doing? Are you-" I pause when Chris stands behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. "I'm good what about you?" he asks as he places his chin on my head. "God you make me feel short and I'm good" I say. He laughs. "You are short though," he says. I sigh. "Did you need something?" I ask. "No just wanted to see what you were doing since Max just went out" he says. If he just wanted to see what I was doing why was he hugging me? I watch as Chris takes out his phone and goes onto his camera. He moved his head so he was biting my neck. He then took a picture. "Would be better if we were both naked" he whispers in my ear. "Okay take your shirt off" I say. "Seriously?" he asks. "Yeah," I say. I watch as he moves away from me and takes his shirt off. I do the same but I leave my sports bra on. he wraps his arm around my waist again and bites my neck. He then takes a picture. But this time instead of moving away he put his phone in his pocket and wrapped his other arm around my waist. "You better not be giving me a hickey," I say. "Oops already did," he says giggling. I sigh. "Sorry," he says. "Chris don't worry I don't mind" I say. "Good," he says. I grab my t-shirt and put it on and Chris does the same.

Later.

I was playing Mario Cart with Chris when he raged at the game. "Fuck off 3rd again" he complains chucking the controller on the bed. "I was 5th calm down" I say. "Nah this shit is pissing me off" he complains laying down on the bed. "Aww is someone rage quitting," I ask teasingly. "Shut up," he says. "Make me," I say jokingly. At that moment I regretted the words I had just said. He grabbed my neck pulling me on top of him. "Shut up" he says still gripping my neck. I just stare at him. "Cat got your tongue?" he asks. "I'm just nervous," I say quietly. "Aw do I make you nervous babe?" he asks. I look at him confused. "I'm joking," he says. I sigh. I wish he wasn't joking. He let go of my neck letting me move so I was no longer on top of him. "I should go I'll cya later" Chris says as he gets up and leaves my room. "Bye," I whisper. He always leaves before I can even say bye. I sigh. I lay down on my bed and stared at my ceiling. I know I felt a spark when I was on top of him. But did he?

Later.

I woke up at 3 am to my phone still playing music. I was about to turn it off when the song The Red Means I Love You by Madds Buckley started playing. I listen to the song trying not to sing along. I ended up humming along. Eventually, another one started playing so I turned off my music. I soon realised I had a text from Chris. I read it and reply.

C: I know you're probably asleep but I wanted you to know Megan and I are together again turns out she was framed for everything. I can't believe someone would do that

E: Yeah that's good. Same though who who do that

C: Exactly

I sigh. I would. I'm the one who framed her. I've liked Chris for years and I was always jealous of Megan. I guess it was because of how kind and pretty she was. I have always wanted to be like her. I guess I have to move on. I need to. It's been 3 years. I just wish a guy liked me. I had another text from Chris. I read it and reply.

C: Do you wanna join our recording session tomorrow? It's with me, Grizzy, Smii7y and Blarg.

E: Sure

C: Cool I'll add you to the DC call tmr when we record

E: Okay

Great I'm going to be recording with my friends and smii7y. Wait who's smii7y? I guess I'll find out tomorrow. I should get some sleep. I have a busy day later.
