Key To Her Heart | Gabe De Guzman |

Chapter Five

(FETUS GABE!! ^^^^)

Analyn's POV:

     I wake up. Uncomfortable in my bed.. Wait.. I look around. This isn't my bed. This isn't my room. It's Gabe's room. I quickly get up, but with a pounding headache. 

What happened to me last night? I think to myself as I rub my head. 

      I instantly see Gabe coming in the door. We both make eye contact and I get off his bed. Yeah, things just got awkward. 

"Oh you're awake..." He walks in awkwardly. 

"Um..." I try to think about what I'm going to say. "How did I end up here?" 

"Well, you had a drink that had alcohol in it. You were obviously drunk. You said some things. And I brought you here and you fell asleep. And finally we're talking. Oh and don't worry I went to sleep in the guest bedroom so..." He explains. 

"Did I say anything stupid last night?" I ask him as I tie up my hair. I feel his eyes on my stomach. Insecurities. 

"Uh.." He won't stop staring. 

"Gabe... I asked a question." I try to get his attention. 

"Oh um.. You said a few things.." He tells me. 

"Like what?" I may have said some stupid things. 

"How about breakfast first?" He touches the back of his neck. I nod and follow him downstairs. It feels like old times in his house. I snap out of my flashbacks from three years ago. He hands me a bowl of cereal and we sit next to each other. 

"So last night...?" I speak up, but quietly. 

"Oh right." He explains what happened. Wow... I can't believe I said all of that. Deep down inside of me, I still have feelings for him. But I just can't. 

"I said all of that?" I put away my bowl. 

"Yeah. But it's okay, it was just the alcohol talking. You didn't mean any of it." He assured me. 

I actually did mean all of that Gabe. You just don't know. I got lost in his eyes. 

"So do you want me to take you home?" He asks me. 

"It's okay. I'll walk." I didn't wanna have to deal with more awkward. 

"No no. I can't let you walk. I'll drive you." He grabs his keys. 

"Alright then. But I owe you one." I tell him. As he was driving, flashes of last night played in my head. I remember kissing Gabe. I can't believe I kissed him again. He pulls up to my house. "Um.. Thanks." 

"Still doing Chemistry tutoring today or..." I grab my little bag and open the door. 

"Um.. Sure. Meet me in the little cafe downtown. At like twelve." I tell him, stuttering a bit. He nods and I thank him. Awkwarddddd... 

     I step inside my house, making sure no one was home. Oh who am I kidding? I basically live by myself. I go up to my room and change out of Lani's clothes. I go into my bathroom and take a nice long shower. I get out and throw on a loose white sweater with blue jeans and white converse. I brush out my hair and run my fingers through it. I look at the time. Oh thank god it's still early. Ugh I still have to go to dance in the evening today. 

    

2 Hours Later:

     Well, time to go to the cafe. I love this cafe because it's nice and small. Also, it's great for people like me who don't socialize much. I grab my penny board, backpack, keys, phone, and head out the door. I get there and I see Gabe by himself with his textbook open and super concentrated. 

Flashback to Eighth Grade: 

"Analyn stoppp!"  Gabe chased after me while I had his phone in my hand. 

"Nope. Catch me if you can." I stuck my tongue out at him. 

"I want my phone back. Please." He gave me puppy dog eyes. I kept hacking his Snapchat with selfies I took. 

"Why should I give it back?" I ask, crossing my arms. 

"Because.." He shrugged. I kept running and he chased after me. He finally caught up and put his arms around me. I let out a shaky breath. I had always liked Gabe. 

"Because why?" I put Snapchat onto the front camera and took a picture of us. It was the cutest picture ever honestly. "What if I don't wanna give it back?" 

"Hm.. I don't know."  He turned me around so I would be facing him. 

"Well, if you don't know then I don't know."  Our faces were inches apart. He looked into my eyes and I looked down. 

"Don't hide your beautiful green eyes." He lifts up my chin. I look at him and he leans in. 

Just like that, Gabe De Guzman was my first kiss. 

Present Time:

      I snap out of my flashback. I'm glad I still remember it. But a part of me hates that he was ever my first kiss. I shake out what I'm feeling and greet him. 

"Hey.." I sit next to him. 

What the heck Analyn? I mentally slap myself. 

"Hey." He scoots over. "I was just going over the unit we're learning." 

"That's good. Do you understand it?" I ask him. 

"Um.. Kinda. Not a lot, but I'm getting there." Gabe looks at me and I have my eyes on the textbook. I flip through some of the pages. 

     We sit together for hours. I explain a lot of things and he slowly understands it. I'm glad he's understanding it though. A part of me feels like I can trust him. But a part of me feels like I can't. 

And that's Chapter 5! So this story is only going to be about 10 chapters long because of time skips and drama and everything. Just ought to let ya know because only one person knows about it. 

I'm impatiently waiting for a volleyball email to know if I made it to first cuts. Pray for me yall.
