How To Make Him Jealous

Chapter 10

Boys seem to like the girls
Who laugh at anything.

The ones who get undressed
Before the second date.

Girls seem to like the boys
Who don't appreciate.

All the money and the time that it takes.
To be fly as a mother

Got my both eyes out for Mr. Right
Guessing I just don't know where to find 'em

But I hope they all come out tonight...

"Hey Faith !" Dylan called, running down the stairs. "I have an offer you can't deny !" He said, walking towards me. "My friend is having this huge party in Melbourne, wondering if you wanted to go this weekend ? You know, before you go home ? Moody cow over there won't come." He joked, gesturing  to Chris.

"I don't have any clothes Dylan." I retort.

He snorts. "We'll go buy some then !" He exclaims. "Go get a shower and we'll go into town. " he smiles. "Chris can get over himself and change his tampon." He jokes.

Chris just grunts.

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

Dylan drives me into town after I'd got showered and had breakfast. Chris still hadn't given up on his silent act yet and instead had turned on Boomerang and watch Scooby Doo until we had left.

Me and Dylan had make small talk till we reached an outlet village just outside Sydney.

"What about this ?" Dylan says, holding up a thong. "You know, to impress your new future boyfriend ?" He laughs at his own joke and I can feel even more guilt pouring in to me.

I fake a laugh and carry on searching the sale rack.

"Oooo ! Skimpy shorts !" Dylan shouts.

I feel my cheeks go red as people shoot me and Dylan disapproving looks.

"Dylan ! " I hiss. "People are looking !" I hiss again , quickly glancing around at the confused eyes watching us both.

Dylan brings his lips towards my ear. "And I don't care ." He whispers, letting his words hang.

I shiver. "Hmmm." I say squinting at him. I quickly brush off his words. "Well I do." I said winking. "Come we've got enough ." I say gesturing to all the bags we were both carrying.

"Kk" he responds, in a very camp voice.

We were both walking down the street. Waving our arms about as we both told hilarious stories that probably weren't even funny.

And it happened....again.

I saw him, just in front of me, with his back turned.  Something inside me told me he would turn around. I'd got quite good at reacting quick. Probably done it too much in the past couple of days.  So I grabbed Dylan's collar and hissed, "Acts of public affection make people uncomfortable."
He stared at me and frowned, "Yes they do "

"Kiss me then." I say, quickly glancing over to the person I really didn't want to see me.

"What ?"

In swift movement I grabbed the back of Dylan's head and pulled him to me.

Our lips touched just as the man turned around.....just in time to see us.

Fuck, I've kissed all three now.

I held it for as long as I could before Dylan pulled away.

He wiped his lips.

"What the hell was that ?! " he hissed. "Was-was that Liam ?" He asked, his eyes widening.
"Did he see that ?!"

I blink, trying to force the feeling I just got away, not sure if it was the fact I just kissed my life long best friend or that I just saw Liam.

"Um yes. That was Liam...I only did it so he wouldn't see me." I lie

But of course he saw me.

Thank god Dylan didn't see the look on his face when he did....
