"Here, have some more," Mrs. Kennish said, while passing me some mashed potatoes.
Tonight was my first, and last, dinner with Evan's parents.
"You know, I was actually pretty worried about you staying here," Mr Kennish said. "Evan is a guy after all."
"Dad!" Evan said.
"But seeing that you're okay, I'm guessing there's nothing to worry about," his dad said.
"Camilia, right?" Mrs Kennish started. "It's nice to have you here.Now, I won't be the only girl in this hou-"
"Uh, actua-" I said.
"Actually, mom, she's gonna be moving out tomorrow." Evan finished for me.
"Aww, that's too bad." she said, disappointed. "I was really hoping to spend some time with you."
Dinner ended. Mrs Kennish was about to clean up when I insisted on doing them instead. Mr. and Mrs. Kennish went up leaving me and Evan in the kitchen.
I picked up a plate from the table. Evan also took the same plate, causing our hands to touch. I immediately pulled my hand back, which led to a more awkward silence.
"A-about what happened at the park," Evan said. "I really didn't mean to-"
"I-it's ok," I said. "Don't worry about. I know it wasn't your intention to do it."
I quickly cleaned up to be able to leave the awkwardness in the kitchen.
I rushed to the room, sighing a sigh of relief.
Evan's POV
I laid down on my bed out of frustration.
I wasn't in my right mind. I'm pretty sure I saw Sara instead of her when I kissed her.
I stayed staring at the ceiling, thinking of the mistake I have done.
All of a sudden, my phone rang. It was Sara. I hesitated a bit before I answered the call.
"Hello?" I said, picking up the her call.
"H-hey, Evan," she said. "Are you busy right now?"
"Umm... No. why?"
"I-I need to tell you something. Would you mind coming out for a bit?"
I looked out the window and saw Sara.
Before going out to see her, I sighed. I honestly didn't want to see or talk to her after seeing her at the mall. But, at the same time, I want her to tell me herself how she really feels, face to face.
"S-Sara..." I called out.
She turned to me and smiled, which looked to be forced.
"I-I need to tell you something," she said.
She let out a sigh.
"I don't know how to properly explain this," she started, "but here it goes... I... I've been seeing someone."
I knew she was. I saw it with my own eyes. But, the pain that I felt at the mall, probably even worse, came back to me after hearing her say it herself.
"How long have you been seeing him?"
It was hard for me to say that sentence. I actually don't want to hear what she had to say, but...
"It has been awhile now. Probably... Probably a little after we broke up."
That right there, scarred me.
"I'm sorry, Evan. I'm really sorry."
"W-why?..."
"Evan.. It's... It's just... He understands what I've been going through. I feel like he's the only person in this world where I can just let out a sigh and he'll immediately know how hard it is for me."
"And I don't understand?!?"
"E-Eva-"
"Sara!!! I fucking broke up with you because I understood!!! I understood that being around you would only get in the way of all your hard work!! I broke up with you, the only girl in my life that I'd fucking die for, because I wanted to make things easier for you. And now you're telling me that I don't understand?!?"
"Evan... I'm really sorry... I really am.."
I turned my back.
"Just... don't.." I said in a low voice.
I walked in the house, slamming the door behind me. I slowly slid down, tears coming out of my eyes.
Camilia's POV
Why did he kiss me? Why did I kiss back?
I've been walking back and forth in my room trying to think of explanations for what happened.
I laid on my bed.
I screamed out of frustration with a pillow on my face.
All of a sudden, an idea popped up in my head, which made me shoot up out of my bed.
"That's right! He's been sad ever since seeing his ex. So when he kissed me, he was seeing her instead of me. Yup... That's what happened. Yeah... That was exactly what happened."
Then I heard a door slam shut.
Out of curiosity, I walked out my room. I slowly walked towards the living room. There I saw Evan sitting by the door. As I got closer, my vision became more focused. I saw tears running down his face.
"H-hey, are you okay?"
I walked towards him and kneeled down.
"I guess we're even now." I heard him say quietly.
"Huh?" I was confused by what he said.
"When we first met, I saw you crying. Now, you see me crying. We're even now."
I didn't know how to respond.
After awhile, his cries started getting louder. All I could do was pat him on the back. I couldn't even open my mouth. I wanted to verbally comfort, like what he did to me. But, for some reason, no words could come out.
All of sudden, he looked up at me and our eyes met.
Tears still came down. I saw pain in his eyes.
Before I could look away, I felt his lips on mines. Just like at the park, I kissed him back.
But this time, I wasn't confused as to why I'm kissing him back. This second kiss has proven something.
I like him.
Evan pulled away from the kiss. I was, to be honest, quite sad that it ended.
"I-I'm sorry," he said.
Again, I couldn't get myself to respond back.
"I'm still not in my right mind," he said as he stood up. "I'm gonna go up. Sorry, again Cam."
As he went up, I stayed sitting down on the floor.
He kissed me because he wasn't in his right mind. But I... I kissed him back cause I like him. So it's just one-sided?
Evan's POV
What happened with Sara was out of my mind now. My frustrations has been replaced.
Like before, I was frustrated about kissing Camilia. Once would've been okay and could easily be forgotten, but I've done it twice.
But... This time I wasn't seeing Sara. I actually saw Camilia.
This made me even more frustrated.
As I was laying down, a thought popped up.
She kissed me back. Both times.
"Whenever one leaves, another enters."
