Chapter 5: Kylie

"Oh look 7 minutes up." I say as I get up in a hurried motion to leave the closet.
I hear Aaron saying something on my way out but I wasn't focussing on what he was saying.

Why the actual fuck did I just confess about my stalker to my enemy, the person I despise the most.

Gosh if he runs his mouth about my stalker, I might actually kill him.
The only reason I didn't kill him yet is because I don't think Alanna would be too happy about it.

I decide I'm done with playing 7 minutes of heaven and go to the bar instead.
After I recieve my drink from the bartender, I try to find Caroline but instead find Alec instead.

"Hey."

"Heyy. The party's fun. I'm enjoying it so far.

"Thanks. But I'm sure you enjoyed the game more." He smirks.

I sigh. "Lay off the alcohol Alec, it's messing with your brain."

"Right, anyways listen where's Caroline?"

"I'm not sure. I was looking for her earlier as well. Maybe she's in the den?"

"Okay, thanks." He waves me off and walks towards the den.

I start to get hungry so I head towards their kitchen. I find Alanna flirting with some guy near the fridge. I walk up to the counter and open a cabinet to find a can of Pringles.

I open the can and Alanna walks over for some. We both eat in peace until a certain monster decides to show up to disrupt said peace.

"That's mine, you know." Aaron the fucking douchebag says while raising an eyebrow.

Gosh, can't a woman eat in peace anymore?

"Just leave us alone, Ronnie." I roll my eyes.

He hates being called Ronnie. It's something that Alanna told me that I'll cherish forever.

"Shut up, Carter." He walks over to my right-side where the fridge is and grabs a drink and leaves.

He's not even the devil's spawn. No, he's Satan himself.

**************
After a few more hours of partying, we decide to head home.

After we reach back home, I change out of my party dress and change into pjs instead.

Me, care and alanna get comfy on the couch and get ready for our classic movie night. Alanna ordered some pizza and we each take a slice as we press play.
We decided to watch a classic, The Devil wears Prada.

After the movie finishes, we decide it's time to turn in for the night because Alanna has cheer practice at 7AM tomorrow and me and care are just tired.

I sit on my bed and reopen the message from earlier today.

Gosh I really hope the bastard keeps his password to not tell anyone.

I still can't believe I told him about the stalker and almost CRIED in front of him.
He would never stop teasing me about it.

Before I actually fall asleep, I decide that a few minutes of reading time woudn't hurt. So I pick up the romance novel on my bedside table and start reading it.

I bought it recently from Barnes & Nobles when I went there with Alanna. Both of us like reading books while care would literally do anything else than read a book.

Although I'm a practical person, I do love a good romance novel. Especially with smut in it.

**************
The next morning, after I attend my morning classes, I go to the cafe where I'm supposed to meet Jake.

I debated coming but since he was adamant about it, I decided I should go.

I found Jake sitting in the corner by the window.

"Hey."

"Hey, thanks for coming."

"So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about? You seemed pretty adamant about it." I attempt at a smile but fail.

Gosh I really hope the stalker doesn't do anything to Jake.

"Well, uh you should order something first. Knowing you, you probably didn't have anything all day." He laughs nervously.

Okay he's being a little weird. Does he..?
No, how could he possibly know about my stalker.

"Well, okay." I order my favorite sandwich wrap from the cafe.

After the food arrives, I start eating while he stares at his food blanky.

"Jake, what's wrong. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine." He smiles.

"Okay." I smile back.

After a few minutes, Jake goes "Listen, I understand if you don't feel the same way I do but.."

Oh god no.

"I really like you, Kylie. Ever since freshman year. I totally understand if you don't feel the same but I really wanna date you. So consider this me officially asking you out."

"I- Jake I really don't know what to say."

"You can take your time and tell me your answer whenever you feel comfortable."
He smiles and finishes his coffee.

"Thank you." I smile and finish eating my sandwich wrap.
