Devoting Love

Locking Something More Than Eyes

Tyler started comforting me and I feel really ackward. I haven't seen him since 9th grade and now he's showing up out of nowhere being affectionate to me. This is really weird, I think to myself. Here I am sitting with my best friend that I haven't seen in forever, and my ex boyfriend that I haven't seen since my freshman year of high school. "Why is this happening to me?" I mouth to myself, thinking of what is happening at this moment. While I was in the middle of thinking, Tyler said something and out of my zone. "So Rachael, how have you been? I haven't seen you in such a long time."

" Um.." I said loosing my trail of thought, "I've been good, thank you." This is getting really ackward for me right now, I think to myself. I can still feel Tyler's arm being wrapped around my waist, so I scoot to the edge of  my seat to get away from him. He got the hint and let go of my waist. Then he decides to say that he wants to talk...in private. NO!! I scream, ugh I HATE MY LIFE! I began thinking of ways to get out of this ordeal. Maybe I can tell him that I'm sick and I don't want him to get infected by me? Or I can tell him that I'm dating Travis? Um what am I going to do? God this is so hard. " I'm dating Travis!" I yell without even thinking.

"Wait what was that?" Tyler asked in a confused, shocking tone that I don't...hope...he didn't hear me. "Did you just say that your dating  Travis?" Oph..too late. Crap he heard me..loud and clearly too. God what the hell is wrong with me? I'm doomed now. Why did I even say that? This was going by so quickly that I don't even think that Travis heard me too. Ah, thank God he didn't hear me, I breath a sigh of releaf thinking that he didn't hear me.

"Rachael...this is happening way to fast...I mean, you just broke up with that Jake guy and now you're saying that your dating me? Are you ok?" I hear Travis ask, cutting off my line of thought. Both guys are staring at me waiting for me to answere.

"Huh, oh, yeah I'm fine..yeah totally..why'd you ask?" No I'm not fine, I think to myself. I just blurted out something that I'm going to regret saying after..no for the rest of my life.

"You just said that you're dating me?" Travis said. Tyler was looking at both of us wondering what was going on.  

"Yeah..I think I just did." I said feeling confadent for saying it.

"So both of you are going out now? Really?" Tyler asked breaking my train of confadence. " If you are really going out, then why don't you two kiss each other."

My eyes widened at what he just said. Oh my God, did he just say that? What is he thinking? Both Travis and I looked at each other thinking the same thing. He and I look at Tyler, then back at each other. We finally came to the desision to get it over with. We leaned in and both of us parted our lips  and kissed each other. Once we let go, we stared into our eyes and just held it. Tyler was staring at us, then the last thing I noticed was Tyler getting up and leaving us alone. I was ridden speechless still staring into Travis's brown eyes. Did I just kiss my best friend? I thought to myself. We lock lips for the second time and stayed like that for the rest of the evening.
