Reeecaaap!
I took deep breathes as I took all of it in. He cheated on me. I couldn't believe it.
"Look Jeff, I never knew about our so called open relationship. I was loyal to you the whole time. Well, until yesterday. But I can't deal with you seeing other people. It's either me or them."
"Uh, look I like you a lot... But I need to think it over." He said.
I couldn't believe it. What an asshole! He seriously needed to choose? It was obvious who'd he'd choose.
"Jeff, we're over. Done."
Then I hung up the phone, took some ice cream, went up to my room and cried.
------------------------------------------------
"Hey, are you okay?" My sister asked when she heard me bawling.
"Oh, Joyce!" I said surprised as I quickly wiped my tears. I didn't want my sister to know how weak I was.
"I'm sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean what I said."I said with a stronger voice. I wanted her to know that I was serious.
"I know you're sorry, and I forgive you."
"It's just, I was jealous of you flirting with him, while I just sat there and did nothing." I admitted to her.
"You. HA! Jealous of my flirting?! HA! What flirting skills?!" She said, cracking up.
"So tell me why you were crying. Does it have to do with Josh?" She continued.
"No... J-J-Jeff and I broke up!" I said, feeling like I was about to start crying again.
"What?! Why? You guys were the cutest!!! Is it because of Josh?"
I explained to her about my phone called with Jeff and how our whole relationship was basically a lie.
When I finished, I asked, "Why did you keep mentioning Josh?"
"Oh, because when he came back from walking you home, I tried to talk to him. Then he told me that I was really sweet but he likes someone else. Then he went off to bed."
"Oh," I said.
"Then I put two and two together. It obviously had to do with you." She finished.
I felt so bad now. I hurt Josh, Jeff lied to me the whole entire time and I had the best sister in the whole world but didn't realize it until now.
Joyce cut off my thoughts as she asked, "So, did anything happen between you and Josh? I'm totally fine with it, if there was."
As young as she was, Joyce knew a lot about love. She read more romance novels than I did! I decided to tell her what happened last night. When I was done, she didn't look as surprised at all.
"I knew it!! You and I both know what happens now." She said, adding a wink.
"Yeah, I'm going to fix this... right after I shower."
After my shower, I put on a navy tank and denim short shorts. I ate breakfast and headed over to the McLeod's. I knocked on the door and took a deep breath. Josh's mother opened the door and let me in.
"Oh, well you're up early."She said.
"It's almost 11 o'clock." I said with a smile.
"Oh my, is it? Wow. Are you looking for Josh?"
"Yeah, I am. Is he up yet?"
"I think he's still asleep. You can wake him up, he'll be happy to see you."She said with the same twinkle in her eye that my mother had yesterday.
"No he won't." I muttered as I headed upstairs.
I climbed up the stairs and looked for him room.
It was the second last one on the right. I opened it slowly and tip toed in. His room was surprisingly clean for a boy.
Josh was still asleep. He was shirtless and wearing the same shorts as he was yesterday. I sat on him bed, looking at him. I reached out to feel the side of his face. His pure presence made me feel a thousand different emotions at the same time. It was so different with him. A good different.
I couldn't help but lean towards his face. My lips barely touched his lips when his arms suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me down.
"Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" I shrieked.
Then I started giggling.
"Hello there sleepyhead, how long have you been awake?" I asked as I propped myself up on one elbow.
"Since you came into my house." He replied. I just kept on smiling at him.
"Have you made up for mind?" He asked huskily.
"Yeah, I came here to talk to you about that." I said.
Then he put his finger to my lips and said, "Look, before you say anything, I have a lot to tell you. I've liked you for as long as I can remember. And that year, when you told me you had feelings for me... I ran away because I just couldn't believe it, it wasn't because I didn't feel the same about you."
My heart melted at the last part.
"So you're not mad?" I asked.
"No silly, I'm not. Not at all."
"Okay, good. I broke up with my boyfriend."
"I'm sorry..." He said.
"But does that mean..." He continued.
"Yes, it's going to be me and you." I said slyly.
"Good," he whispered as he pulled me in for another kiss.
I don't care if we went to different schools, I don't care that I just broke up with my boyfriend. And I don't care that this summer will end someday, because as of now...
Everything was perfect.
