Chapter 46: Awkwardness

*Sam's P.O.V*

I honestly thought that I would be the first one to arrive at Johnny's warehouse where he trains Eagle Fang. But I couldn't be more wrong. When I stepped foot into the warehouse, I saw that Miguel was also there.

And I can't help but feel the awkward tension.

It's only awkward because Miguel and I haven't talked about being on the same page again, as he is with Eli. I feel like if we talked things out, we wouldn't be in this awkward stage and trying to avoid the atmosphere.

I set my bag down as I started to stretch. I would stretch my arms as Miguel would do his own stretching as well. Where's Johnny to ease the awkwardness?

Oh, who am I kidding? Johnny wouldn't ease the awkwardness. He would only make it more awkward by some weird comment he will make. He's done it a few days ago by saying to not change the triangle into a rectangle.

The worst part about this is that Eli doesn't know that I'm here. I didn't tell him. I'm sure he wouldn't be against me learning Eagle Fang. I just don't know how he'll react if he were to find out that I also trained with Miguel. Same page or not, I'm sure Eli wouldn't be comfortable with that.

If he were to know about this then I think he would be thinking that something will happen. He would make himself paranoid to the point where he loses his mind and that wouldn't be good at all.

As I'm training, I didn't even notice that Miguel was walking towards me.

I guess I was too distracted by my own boyfriend.

"Hey, Sam." He greeted me.

"Hey, Miguel." I sent him a small smile.

"I'm guessing we can try and be professional with each other."

"Professional? This isn't a job." I laughed, "We're learning karate. I think we can manage to work together without any issues."

Now if anything, Miguel is the one making this whole exchange awkward because he is trying to get out a point, to tell me that we can be mature with each other. But I don't know why he's acting weird. We've talked before. We've talked before my dad had his rematch with Johnny.

"I just don't want it to be awkward." He tells me.

"The only person that's making this awkward is you."

I went back to stretching and I tried to avoid this conversation that Miguel is trying to make. I need to have complete focus now. I can't be focused if I'm paying attention to other things. That includes this awkward conversation that's happening with Miguel.

"I know you're dating my best friend.." He started to say, "And I'm not mad about that. I'm mad about the lying part."

I gave him a look, "You seemed mad when you found out about Hawk and I."

"That's only because I figured out that he lied to me."

"That's the only reason?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

I saw the soft look on his face and I knew there was something else. I knew there was another reason. But I think he was scared to tell me what it was. But it's not that hard to figure out what's on his mind.

"I may still have feelings for you, Sam.." He said, taking a deep breath, "But I really was mad about the fact that he lied to me. Nobody likes being lied to."

"We didn't want to lie, Miguel." I said, "But it was the only option until we could figure out how to tell you. It's not exactly easy if you didn't know."

Eli and I didn't want Miguel to find out about us by seeing us making out with each other. We wanted to be able to have an actual serious conversation with him to let him know what's going on. But that didn't happen. Miguel found out in really bad timing.
