It Was Always You

Chapter Twenty Two

Mila sat there not really watching the movie, wondering what was taking them so long to get back. She felt a bit awkward with Chelsea being right there. She knew her quite well since she was Selena's other friend, but she never really thought as the girl being her friend in the same sense, considering the only time they socialized is when Chelsea came to Sel's house. Other than that they didn't even talk to each other at school, they didn't hold the same friend groups.

So, it was a bit of a shock to her to find that she and Jared had any sort of feelings like that towards one another. She liked Chelsea, never felt any kind of resentment or jealousy...until now. For some reason, whenever she looks at her she strongly wants to start something, and she hated the feeling.

As if knowing that she kept peeking over to her Chelsea turns her way, gives a small smile and leans over Jared's seat to get her attention. "Psst Mila." She whispers, her voice barely heard over the sound of the movie playing.

She leans in as well whispering back, "What?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

Seriously? During a movie where dozens of people around them were trying to pay attention? She gets up to sit in Jared's still warm spot so she can be closer to her.

"What is it?"

They put their heads together so they wouldn't disturb others in the theater. "How's your date with Evan going so far?"

Wait, was she serious? This is what she wanted to ask her? Why couldn't it have waited until it was over? Frowning, she replies, "Okay I guess."

"Really? Jared is a total sweetheart. Did you know that he loves chocolate covered raisins?"

No, she didn't.

"Or that he makes the cutest gestures when he sneezes?" She slightly giggles.

Mila couldn't help smiling either. She did know about that. In fact, she always waits for him to sneeze just so she can see the cutest little face he makes. If she could get a picture of him doing it without him knowing, she so would.

"I wish I knew what his favorite soda is." Chelsea sighs.

"Pepsi." She immediately responds, definitely knowing that answer.

Chelsea looks at her for a moment as if thinking something. "Really? And he's stuck with Coke right now."

"He hates Coke, can't stand it."

"Then why would he get it? They have Pepsi as well." She looked bewildered as she eyes at the soda cup between them.

"For Evan most likely. Have you once seen him drink out of it at all?"

Chelsea keeps staring at the cup thinking for a moment and her eyes widen. "You're right, I haven't."

She smiles at her and shrugs her shoulders.

"What's his favorite color?"

"Sapphire blue."

"His favorite animal?"

Mila chuckles lightly. "Eagles."

"What about his favorite actor?"

"Keanu Reeves."

"What does he hate the most?"

She thought on that for a moment looking a bit thoughtful. "That would be most likely my cousin Kristan never leaving him alone. You might have trouble in that area by the way. She's a clinger even though they never dated."

"Oh, don't worry about her. Selena told me and I think I'm able to handle it." Chelsea smirks with a confident aura about her.

"Alright, just don't go overboard I do have family code you know. I'm forced to defend her; I mean she is my cousin after all."
