Addicting (A Yoandri Cabrera Fanfic)

chapter fifteen.

** Cassie's POV**

Had he really called me? Did he really ask me out to breakfast? Sigh, he did, but unfortunately it was Monday morning, and I had my first class at 9 am. I really couldn't miss class anymore, I had already missed too many days, I couldn't set myself back any more because of midterms coming up. I had a lot to catch up with, even if I wouldn't be able to concentrate in class because I'll probably be thinking about Yoandri during the lecture.

I had just come back from dropping Sophie at school, and I was now preparing breakfast to leave for my mom when she wakes up. I was already dressed and ready to head out to school, but I kept getting the temptation of ditching for breakfast with Yoyo.

No, I can't. You can't change your mind and go for breakfast. You'll look desperate.

My conscience had a point. I had already told him I had class, and he'd know I'd be ditching if I told him I could go all of a sudden. He'd feel bad if he were to feel like he was the reason I was ditching class. I'd rather save myself the risk of getting caught, and the embarrassment I'd go through if I did end up ditching class for Yoandri.

I needed to focus on my studies, I really did. Besides, I'll be seeing him on Friday anyways. Knowing that was all I needed for motivation in getting through the week. I didn't even know what our plans are going to be but I was already hyped up for whatever he had in store for me. For now, I just had to focus on my classes and midterms review this week.

I wonder why he wanted to grab breakfast out of nowhere though?

Was that how guys made plans, randomly? I really had nobody to compare him to. I didn't know any better. Maybe I should have agreed to breakfast, without questioning it. What if he's annoyed because I said no? He didn't sound mad but he could have been just hiding it. Oh no, maybe I ruined all the good things I had so far. But Yoandri didn't seem like the type to be mad about that kind of stuff. As a matter of fact, I knew he wasn't the type. But I still couldn't keep these thoughts from running through my mind. I guess I couldn't understand the fact that the Yoandri that I'd always fangirl over was the exact same person that had spent last Friday night with me over dinner at McDonald's.

I had to stop thinking so much, I needed to get back to reality and head on out to the campus before it got late. If I kept stopping to think, I wasn't going to make it to school ever. And I needed to get there because midterm review was important. I had a strange feeling that my review wasn't the only thing that was really important today, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I just hoped the feeling would go away, because it was going to keep me unsettled all day if I couldn't figure it out.

**Later that day**

I had gotten out of my last class for the day, and I was absolutely done with the day. I decide to drive off to the Starbucks a few blocks from campus. I decide order a caramel frap, and I decide to sit on a stool at the little ledge along the window while the baristas made my drink. Just then, I hear a ding coming from my phone.

"instagram: xyoandrix posted a photo"

Of course, the fangirl instincts inside of me don't hesitate to unlock my phone to view the part. I look at the picture and read the caption and I'm overwhelmed with feels.

"best friends since '15, and forever"

It's a candid picture of Joel and Yoandri, laughing at who knows what, but it's genuine and it's such a cute picture. They seem to be inside a hotel room, which means that all CNCO boys are in the city, since they're not at Joel's house like they usually are when it's only them in LA.

I guess Yoandri was really being serious when he invited me to hang out with them on Friday. It hadn't hit me yet, that after all the time I spent fangirling over the boys, I probably actually had a chance at meeting them, and HANGING OUT WITH THEM. This doesn't feel real.

**ding**

I felt my phone buzz again. Could it be a notification from one of the other boys?

Text message:
From: Yoandri :)
"So how does Friday night, 6pm sound? I just won't tell you where because I want it to be a surprise 😁"

The butterflies in my stomach were fluttering harder than my phone was vibrating. I wasn't going to be able to concentrate now. I wouldn't be able to think about anything else except what the surprise date would be.

Did I just call it a date?

Was it a date?

I didn't know what this was but whatever this was, I was loving every minute of it. This whirlwind of a romance I was experiencing was some next level thing, but it doesn't feel right calling it a romance. It definitely isn't one if he doesn't see it as one. But what was undeniable was the way he made my heart beat. It was a different feeling than when I would fangirl over his picture posts or his singing videos. This time, it's like my heart knew he was actually in front of me, at reach of my finger tips.

Shit, I'm getting so carried away, I can't forget to reply to him either.

Okay, I need to chill out and relax.

Reply to: Yoandri :)
"Oooh, sounds like fun then, I'll be ready, excited for Friday night!"

I'm actually really curious and really giddy to find out what's going to happen on Friday. I honestly don't know what to expect.

"I've got a caramel frap for Cassie?" I hear the female barista call out from over the counter's ledge. I had gotten so caught up in Yoandri's text, I had honestly forgotten about my drink. This boy had me hypnotized, I couldn't keep up with myself. At least now, the plans were concrete and I had something pushing me through the week.

I can't say much but I've got the next three or four chapters planned out in my mind, so I've got to keep writing!
