Jumping Bases ((EDITING))

Chapter 15

Saturday

i woke up with 3 new messages. i smile thinking they were from Ryan but i was wrong. my smile faded when i noticed they were sent from Jake. Jake? why would he be texting me? i opened them. 

Jake; wakkkkkkkkkkeeeee uuuuuppp 

Jake; are you coming to James' party tonight? :p 

Jake; we kinda need to talk .. 

i plopped back into my bed and sighed deeply. oh no. what should i do? i admitted that i liked Jake before admitting it to Ryan. i really like Jake. he's cute, funny, smart, athletic, hot, educated, sweet, respectful and everything a girl like me wants. Ryan is a sexy bad boy who is hot, athletic, sweet, caring, protective, dangerous, risk-taking and stubborn. i felt like i knew everything about Jake and that he would be trustworthy, but then again, Ryan is full of mystery .. you never know what he'll pull next. Ryan seemed more like an adventure but one of those guys you have to watch out for. Jake seemed like a perfect guy to be around. 

i need advice. now. i searched for Maya's number. 

Me; i need you ): 

Maya; whazzzzup girl ? 

Me; what are you doing right now ? 

Maya; .. Starbucks .. 

Me; i'll meet you there! 

Maya; want me to order your usual ? 

Me; PLEASE 

Maya; okie dokie 

Me; see you in 10 mins 

i stood up and got changed. i threw something on. 

i drove up to the parking lot and walked up to our usual table. 

"what are you wearing?" she laughed as she slid the drink towards me. 

i looked down and shrugged.

"i need advice" i pouted. 

"talk to me" she leaned back and and sipped her drink. 

"i need to chose someone" i said as i sipped mine. 

"what do you mean?" she asked. 

"i should stop leading both on and then end up breaking either Jake or Ryan" i replied. 

"true" she agreed. 

"but anyways .. the night of 'the event', Jake told me he liked me and i told him i liked him too. then like a day later, Ryan told me he liked me and i said i liked him too. so i just admitted it to both of them" i said. 

"oh shit" she widened her eyes. 

"and today before i texted you, Jake told me we 'had to talk'. i don't know what to do. i said that i liked them both and today i have to make a decision before Jake talks to me and before i got to James' party with Ryan" i said all in one breath. 

"who do you like more?" she asked. 

"both"i bit my lip. 

"who is nicer to you?" 

"Jake" 

"who cares about you more?" she questioned. 

"i think Ryan does, he watches over me alot" 

"who is hotter?" Maya asked. 

"Ryan .. hello where have you been" i laughed. 

"who can you trust?" 

"Jake" 

"who texts you more?" 

"Ryan" 

"who do you see more often?" 

"Ryan" 

"who is more straight forward with you?" 

"Jake" 

"who would be a better boyfriend?" 

"Jake.." 

"its a tie" she sighed. 

i drank my mocha. 

"who would you choose?" i asked. 

"if i was in your position? me being me? Ryan all the way. i wouldn't even be having this conversation" she said truthfully "but you being you. i think you would prefer Jake but then again, you look so happy with Ryan" 

"ugh" i put my hands over my face "you're no help" 

"oh my bad" she laughed .. "you know what you should do?" 

"what!?" i looked at her with hope. 

"sleep with Jake and then compare it to Ryan. date who ever is wins" she smirked. 

"oh Maya" i sighed "you make me sound like a slut" 

"that's what i would do" she laughed. 

"obviously" i laughed "no but really.." 

"pick whoever you want Kris" she replied. 

"i told Ryan that i didn't like Jake. i told him he could trust me and now look at me; I'm debating over them" i pouted. 

"most girls would love to be in your position, being able to pick form two great guys" Maya said. 

"i know" i sighed. 

"plus .. no pressure but you're running on time. the party starts at 3 and you have 1 and a half hours to choose" she replied as she stood up. 

"where are you going?" i looked up. 

"dad wants me to stop by the store before going to the party" she sighed. 

"oh" i said. 

"call me and update me of your choice" she smiled. 

"okay. bye" i sighed.

"bye" she got her keys and walked away, leaving me alone. 

i cant believe i told Ryan that i didn't want Jake .. but i kinda do. i cant let Ry down but i cant leave Jake heartbroken. 

"Kristen?' i heard from behind me.
