Not Too Close!

My mind has been on Joey. Days has past since the party. Pictures of his smile, excited hazel eyes with that curious sparkle, that could just lure you in. These was the qualities that drew me to him. Not the first time...but even maybe the second time as well.

I don't know what to think about him. Very mixed feelings. When I think about him I get the familiar butterfly's thumping and bouncing around in my stomach. When he kisses me, my lips tingle with excitement and pleasure. But he rejected me after all. It's why I changed myself.

Is that hypocritical?

I wander around the house, doing what I normally do when my life isn't being a mess.

I check Tumblr blogs, scroll through online outfits I'd might want in the future. I watch TV, clicking through Doctor Who, the show I love.

In the middle of my favorite episode my phone buzzes with a message.

"Hey"

Joey? Once again?

"Hey" I reply.

"Can you come meet me outside?"

What?! He's outside?!

"Give me a min" I reply because I have still yet to get dressed for the day.

I go upstairs and just throw on one of my old outfits. I glance at my closet, all the clothes I've picked up from shopping and some clothes from Dani.

I've changed so much.

I put on a white t-shirt with some black shorts. Put on some black converse and my hair in a messy bun. Put on some quick mascara.

I look presentable. I go outside. Those butterflies are thumping like crazy. Why does he have to make me feel like this?

"Hey, Kayla." Joey flashes a smile. I smile "Hey." How can he make my heart melt with that smile? Then again...I want to punch it off his face.

"Listen...Kayla..." He says and leans backwards against his rusty old truck. I gulp, what is it this time? Is he gonna tell me he's been playing me this entire time?

"Um..." He scratches his back "...Kayla...." Why is he so hesitant? Why won't he just tell me? That irritates me.

"Just tell me, you've been playing me this entire time haven't you?" I spit out, angry. He looks speechless, so I'm probably right. "You know Joey, it's not nice to play people like that...you've already done it once, and it tore me to pieces..." He opens his mouth to say something but then he closes it, I continue " Please just don't mess with my emotions...it's crazy" tears brim up in my eyes "I start to dress nicer to impress you...and to break your heart too...but I ended up falling for you again." Tears are streaming down my cheeks "So please if you are doing this to me just stop...and stay out of my life..."

Joey looks sympathetic. He walks up to me and looks into my eyes. "Kayla, it's the exact opposite."

I must look bewildered because he smiles and cocks his head slightly to the side. He gingerly places his hand on my cheek, wiping my tears.

"Kayla...I love you." He looks a bit bashful. "And I have...for awhile."

What? He has?!

"Kayla...I liked you even before you asked me out...I-I was too shy to say yes..." He looks at my eyes " So I panicked and acted like a jerk...I didn't know what to say. But I've felt so bad about it ever since. And then you started dressing nicer, and letting me be nice to you...and after all that I just fell for you even more. I think I'm in love now."

I don't know what to say. It's all so sudden. He liked me before all of that? It's quite unbelievable...

"So will you go out with me, Kayla?" He smiles with kind eyes.

"Joey...I-I don't know...I'm still..." I stutter. I still don't like him but then again I've fell for him. It's all so confusing. "Joey...I still have mixed feelings...I don't know..."

My phone starts ringing, I see a familiar phone number. I pick it up.

A familiar voice flowed through.

"Kayla...take me back."

Dereck?!
