CHAPTER 14

Carl's POV

I saw she smiled hearing my reply and quickly text that Alex boy. God, why can't he just leave my Kierra alone? My Kierra, I chuckled and Kierra looked up at me giving me a questioning look.

“Nothing,” I told her. “So, you just want to laze around?”

“Yeah, I want to finish reading this book,” she said showing me her book.

“What are you reading,” I asked “a book on how to have an affair?” I teased her.

She hit me with her book, “No you idiot. It’s a mystery and a bit of a love story book, written by Margaret Cole. I love her books. She's an amazing writer.” she explained.

“Yeah I know. You’ve told me so many times” I laughed. “You want a drink?” I offered. “Sprite?”

“Yeah, sure,” she smiled and caught it when I threw it at her.

I went to sit on the lazy chair next to her and watched her reading her book; my god she looks so beautiful! I wish I could just tell her how I feel.

We both knew each other since we were 15 years old. I was a new boy who had just moved into the town and became Vicky’s next door neighbor. Vicky was the one that introduced us. At that time she had a short hair and dressed like a boy with baseball cap on her head. She even greeted me like boys normally greet each other. The first time I saw her, I was mesmerized by her beautiful brown eyes and I was instantly attracted to her. I was so happy when we were in the same class most of the time and sat next to each other. I was not really into baseball before I met her but I signed up for the team because of her so that I could spend more time with her. Since our houses were in the same route, we would cycle to and from school together. Sometimes, I would always find a reason to spend more time with her by asking her to help me with my homework and other stuff. Finally, we slowly became best friends. Even after I already owned a car we would go and come home from school together.  I realized that I had fallen in love with her when we were both 17. She had to miss school for two weeks because she came down with chicken pox and I started to miss her like crazy. Both of our moms would not allow me visit her because they were afraid that I might catch it too, but I would call her every day to ask about her health or to update her about latest gossip in school. We would talk for hours and I loved every minute of it.

That was when the guys noticed my feelings toward her and thankfully none of them laughed at me. They supported me all the way. They were the ones who came up with this whole pretending idea. I agreed to go ahead with it because I thought it would make her fall deeply in love with me.

Vicky knew about my feeling towards Kierra too. She was so excited when she found out about it and kept pestering me to reveal my feelings toward Kierra but I was too scared. I was scared that I might lose her friendship forever if she rejected me. I couldn’t bear it if she hated me. I can’t even stand a day without looking, talking, and teasing her. She is everything to me and I really love her. I don’t know what I’ll do if she leaves me. I thought I could easily make her fall for me this summer before this Alex boy showed up. I feel like punching that guy in the face whenever he flirts with her. I need to find a way to make her realize my feelings towards her, and I hope when I tell her about it she won’t reject me.

“Is there something on my face?” Kierra suddenly asked smiling weirdly at me waking me up from my thoughts. “You have been staring at me for a long time.”

I laughed pushing her feet slightly to the side and sat beside her, “Oh yes there is.” I teased. “Your face has two big eyes, a big nose,” I touched her eyes and pinched nose smiling naughtily at her while she giggled, “and-” I looked at her mouth.

“Don’t tell me I have big mouth,” she cut in still giggling.

“Oh yes, you do have big mouth,” I nodded teasingly at her, “but with the compliments of beautiful kissable lips,” I said raising my eyebrows naughtily at her.

“Oooo, do you want to kiss them?” she teased and seductively pouted her lips at me.

“Oh, yes, I definitely do.” I said softly licking my lips teasingly at her and lowered my head toward her.

She quickly covered her mouth with her book and giggled, “Oh no, you don’t. I’m not going to allow you to kiss me after you said I have big mouth.”

“Oh, please, please,” I teasingly begged and started to tickle her. She laughed but still covered her mouth trying to move away from me.

“Aww, come on,” I pleaded and pulling both her hands away, she shook her head and blushed. I laughed and held her head still, making us look at each other. We were staring into each other’s eyes.

“God, you look so beautiful when you blush,” I told her softly. She smiled shyly at me. I slowly lowered my head towards her while she closed her eyes, ready to welcome my kiss.
