Good morning text from Liam was all it took to change my mood this morning. My mom was barely talking to me and I had nothing better to do
[TEXT CONVO BETWEEN LIAM AND I]
'Good morning'
'Good morning to you too' I replied with a smiley face
'How'd you sleep?'
'Slept well, you?'
'My sleep was amazing, I dreamt of you' I couldn't stop smiling
'Yeah right' I answered back
'I'm serious, I thought about our not date all night lol'
'Me too, I had a great time'
'As did I' I smiled not knowing what to say, but before I could even reply back he texted again 'are you busy today?'
I didn't know whether to say yes or no, I mean I want to say no so bad but what if he invites me to do something, it was difficult to function around him and I didn't want to look stupid in front of him so I just said 'umm well I don't actually know'
'Oh ok maybe some other time then' he said with a sad face, I felt bad but I also thought that me not seeing him was better because.... Well I couldn't actually explain why I just think its better this way.
'I'm sorry, it's just that my mom likes to spontaneously create plans and I have to be a victim of whatever she wants' it wasn't a lie
He lol'd and replied 'no worries let me know if you change your mind I'd really like to spend the day with you.' Wow this guy made trying to stay away so difficult
How could I say no to that 'I can't make any promises but let me check with my mom first' I pressed send and got out of my bed and went to my moms room got in her bed
"Can I help you?" She said while staring at her tv
"Yes, are we doing anything today?"
She turned facing me and suspiciously asked me "why?"
"Well I wanted to hang out with a friend today"
"Same friend from yesterday?" Ugh
"Does it matter mom?"
"Yes, I'm your mother and I'd like to know" great she pulled out the 'I'm your mother' card
"Yes mom"
"Hmm fine" she smiled and turned back to face the tv
"Yay thanks mom" I kissed her on the cheek and ran out the room with excitement.
I quickly grabbed my phone 'well turns out I'm free'
'Great, you should come over'
WHAT!? 'Like to your house?'
'Yes silly, I want to spend the day with you. You can come over and we hang out watch movies and stuff, but only if you want to'
'Umm I don't know' I wanted to I do but I'm scared of what I might say or do it was difficult keeping cool in front of him
'Oh that's too much pressure, I'm sorry we can do something else'
'No no it's not that I'm just...' And I hit send without finishing
'Just what?' Great now I have to think of a reason. Ugh what was I doing, what can possibly go wrong
'Nothing. Text me your address and I'll come over' hope I was doing the right thing
'Are you sure?'
'Positive' he texted me the address and I jumped out of bed not knowing what to do so I called Leah
"Leah I need you over here now!" I was kind of freaking out
"Why what's going on?"
"No time to explain but how soon can you get here" I needed help
"On my way" we hung up and I quickly got in the shower.
~~~~~~
While I was in the closet looking for something to wear Leah Said "so let me get this straight, guy invites you to go over his house and you go calling me"
"Yes"
"Why!?" I laughed
"Because Leah I don't know what to do, what to wear, and how to act in front of him"
"Well I'm here to help"
"Yeah you should be this is your fault!" I shoved her and went back into the closet
"How exactly is this my fault?"
"Well if you didn't leave me on the beach and if you had came to the diner he probably wouldn't have spoken to me" I needed somebody to blame
"In a way I did you a favor Brett so you're welcome" she sassed
"How so?"
"Well if all goes well you're gonna have a boyfriend by the summer" boyfriend? Hmmm kind of liked the sound of that
"Whatever, I'm done"
"Ooo let me see" she said with excitement, I walked out of my closet with confidence which was immediately put down by Leah's expression
"That bad"
"Yes Brett you look too put up bring it down a few notches" I plopped down on my bed in stress
"Help me" she got up and went into my closet when she came out
"Here" she handed me a plain T, blue skinny jeans and vans
"That's it" I looked sort of disappointed
"Yes Brett you're just going to hang out with the guy you don't need to look like your going to a wedding" she's right
"Alright" I got up changed and went into the bathroom to comb my hair and added on some essentials then I was ready to go physically but mentally my mind was literally screaming 'DON'T DO THIS' but if I listened to half the things my mind said I would probably be emo by now. Afterwards I got into my car and told him I was on my way.
while driving to Liam's place I prayed hoping I didn't disappoint or act out of place, those things weren't important to most guys but being gay it's very important to me.
