Something About Him

-23-

For all y'all stoners out there... happy 4/20 🍃💨

Layla Wilkes

"I gotta do this," Carter murmurs so low that I could barely hear him and that is followed by him swiftly putting his hand under my chin and turning my head toward him. Before I can do or say anything, he leans in and then his lips meet mine.

In that exact moment I was frozen just because I couldn't believe what was happening and barely five seconds into him kissing me, I push him away.

"Carter, I can't believe you just did that!" I yell at him as I put my hand on my lips out of shock. "I-I have a boyfriend!" I exclaim and my voice cracks a little.

"Boyfriend?" He repeats with a frown while looking at me hard. "Don't tell me you agreed to being Chris' girl."

"I like him Carter!" I say back with my voice still raised. The more we talk, the more upset I'm getting and it would probably be best that I just go home cause he's already ruining everything.

Now I wouldn't say I cheated on Chris because I didn't kiss back, but just the fact that it happened is eating me alive.

"You can't be serious!" He shouts at me and then I watch as he clenches his jaw as if he actually had a reason to be upset.

He kissed me while I have a boyfriend despite the fact that I literally just told him that I don't like him like that.

Why can't people just listen or at least take hints?

The night that he told me he liked me, he should have known I didn't feel the same because I didn't say it back.

~Flashback~

I'd just gotten in the house from talking to Carter and it was really weird knowing that my best friend had a crush on someone. Plus, I didn't know exactly who she was.

Sasha asked me who was she and I didn't have an answer so I told her, "He won't tell me who she is exactly but what I do know is he's crushing hard," and right after those words left my mouth, my phone vibrated and I looked down to see a text message from Carter.

I opened his message and it read: Layla. You really wanna know who she is? and of course I wanted to know. He was acting like it was some top-secret information so, yeah. I was super curious.

the girl that you like? YES! I texted back.

After that, he sent me crying laughing emojis but it wasn't funny. I seriously wanted to know and seconds later, my phone vibrated in my hand and the message said: all jokes aside... it's you.

Once I read that, I didn't know what to do so instead... I did nothing.

At first I just stared at the message, blinking super hard in hopes that when I opened my eyes again it wouldn't say what I thought it said.

What does he mean it's me? I don't give off the vibe of liking him and he doesn't give off any that he likes me so... I don't get it.

I left him on read actually and then the following day I tried dodging the fuck out of him but obviously that didn't work out well.

~Flashback Over~

"So your taken?" Carter asks with so much spite evident in his tone.

"Yes..." I trail off. "I am and I cannot believe you just did that. I-i need to go."

I turn my key from where it was already in the ignition and wait for him to get out of my car.

"Another Gigi, huh?" He says being an ass honestly.
