Blindfold (Book One)

25. Disclose

         

* Minutes before *   

Simon's POV

    I park my car a block away from Amelie's house so that it isn't seen, just the way Kaley told me to. Johnny, Kunal, and I are still confused of what's happening, what Kaley is up to, but are about to find out.

    We walk to Amelie's front door, finding the girls already standing outside.

    "Okay, can you please explain?" I say, looking at them

    "Amelie and Jim are together," says Mayim.

    "What?" I ask in unbelief.

    "Amelie is Jim's girlfriend," says Kaley.

    "You are kidding right?" says Johnny with a smile on his face.

    "No no! It's true," speaks Melissa.

    "But-but Jim said nothing had happened between them, that they were still friends," says Kunal, confusion showing in his voice.

    "Yes, that's what Amelie told us too, but...I couldn't help, but suspect something, and we ended up following them to their dinner," says Kaley.

    "Wait wait wait," I start. "So are you telling us that Jim and Amelie already know how they feel about each other?"

    "YES!" shout the girls.

    "How are you so sure they are together?" asks Johnny.

    "They kissed," says Mayim.

    My jaw drops, and I see that Kunal is open-mouthed too.

    "Are you joking?!" I say. "Why didn't they tell us?!"

    "That's the same thing we're wondering," says Melissa. "We are here to ask them what the hell is going on."

    "I can't believe it." I say. "I mean...I'm happy for them of course, but...I'm confused."

    "We all are," says Kunal.

    The sounds of a car approaching sound in the air, and there are some lights.

    "Silence," says Kaley. "Here they come."

    * Present *

    Jim's POV

    "What is going on?" I ask confused, still holding Amelie's hand.

    "Why didn't you tell us?!" says Kaley.

    "You mean, why didn't you tell US?!" replies Amelie.

    "Tell you what?" asks Mayim.

    "That all of you knew we've been in love the entire time and you didn't say a word?" I say.

    There is silence for a moment, as we stare at each other.

    "That is a decision you had to make by your own will," says Simon.

    Kunal takes a step forward and starts talking. "That is why I told you everyone that we should've let them know," he says. "The day I went running to your dressing room it was because I wanted to tell you, but then KALEY knocked me to the ground."

    Some of us giggle at the memory, it was quite funny to be honest.

    "You know...guys," starts Johnny. "Honestly, I am really happy for you. We all made our mistakes in hiding things, but...to be honest I am pretty excited this is finally happening."
