Maybe...?

CHAPTER 50

I'm walking toward the basketball field, feeling very nervous.

This is my first date.

And luckily, with the person I like.

I look up and I see a grey sky, announcing rain.

But that's not going to ruin the date, I know.

I observe that a handsome boy with auburn hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue sweater and some grey pants.

He's Aiden.

The boy I like.

"Hi¡" I say cheerful.

"Hello¡ Ready for a basketball match?"

"Yeah, but it seems that it's going to rain soon."

"Don't worry."

He takes my hand leading me to the center of the field.

...

Awkward silence.

After the basketball match, all we got was awkward silence.

We haven't got anything in common.

He likes swimming and I hate the water.

I like Twenty one pilots and he detests it.

Not only that.

I thought that he was different.

I thought he had sense of humour, but there were moments where I was sarcastic and he didn't get it.

BRAIN: But you've just really met

HEART: No excuses, he's not the one.

It's raining so we farewell.

"It was nice..." I lie.

"Yeah, it was." He smiles.

We both know it wasn't.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye."

I hug him.

But without feeling anything special.

I'm depressed... I was hoping for a great date with the guy I really like, but nothing. I just don't feel nothing about him right now.

I don't have an umbrella, so I am being soaked by the rain.

Suddenly, I feel something above me.

I turn around, and I see that is him.

Lucas with an umbrella.

"This was your important thing?" he asks, he looks mad.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I reply. "Thank you for lying to them." I smirk

But he's not mad about that.

"You don't understand right?" his voice is clipped.

I shake my head, confused.

We're standing still, in the middle of the rain.

"You were with him, laughing, and having fun."

"And what?"

He throws the umbrella away, on the floor.

And the rain falls on both of us.

"Hey, what's going on with you." I look at his blue eyes.

"You date with anyone right?" he yells.

"You're insane¡"

"Or it's that you just date with guys who tell you that they like you?"

He's crazy.

I want to tell him that the date was horrible, that I don't like Aiden anymore... but yeah, my pride is the first thing on the list.

"Well, yeah, maybe¡" I SCREAM.

Abruptly, he holds my face with his hands, and he kisses me.

Our lips, touching.

My stomach, feeling some kind of good sense.

My heart, complete.

He lets me go, softly.

Our eyes meet.

"If you didn't notice, I wasn't using words to tell you that I like you. I was trying to show it to you."

And suddenly I remember all the things Lucas has done for me.

All the times he has been beside me.

All the laughs he has brought me.

And I smile.

BRAIN: This is not the right way.

HEART: But it's worth it because he's the one.

My grandmother told me something before she farewell:

Follow your mind, but always follow your heart first.

Maybe everything will turn wrong, maybe we're not meant to be. But maybe this is the right choice, to choose the Maybe...? path.
