Free Falling {Gus De St Jeor FanFic} (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Twenty

Makenna's POV:

Gordy leans in further and finally our lips touch. I bring my hand to his cheek out of habit. This feels wrong but at the same time it feels right. I want to try and pull away, but I can't bring myself to do so. I feel like I am cheating on Gus, but we aren't together, so it doesn't matter. I hear the door open, and my heart drops.

"Oh. My. God." A voice says by the door.

Gordy jumps back from me, falling off the bed. I sit to the furthest side of my bed, afraid to look at the door. Gordy gets off of the floor and looks at the door. He sighs deeply. It was a sigh of relief. I look over at the door to see Rydel standing there, her hand over her mouth. She wasn't moving and I'm not even sure that she was breathing. After a moment of none of us moving, she removes her hand from her mouth.

"Oh. My. God." She says again.

"Rydel, don't tell Gus." I say standing up in a panic.

"Why does it matter if she tells Gus? Makenna, I am surprised by what you are doing. He actually cheated on you and you are actually thinking about taking him back. Seasons change. People don't always change. I thought that after what happened with Emily back after we first all met, you would have learned your lesson. I guess not. I honestly can't believe that you are planning on taking him back," Gordy says with a slightly ticked off tone.

"Gordy, you need to go downstairs. Cut her some slack. Kenna has every right to do what she wants." Rydel starts.

"I don't need a boy to be happy. I am perfectly fine being friends with you two and your brothers." I sass off at Gordy.

"No matter how hard you try and hid that we kissed, and you didn't act like you were into the kiss. I could that you were. You can't hide that from him," He responds. "As soon as he finds out, something will happen. He will- We both will want you to pick eventually."

I look over at Rydel, who shakes her head. She knows that Gordy is right and that sooner than later, I will have to choose one of them. Gordy stands up, looks at me before kissing my forehead. He leaves the room to go out and then back outside. I look at Rydel, who shuts the door. She shakes her head and sits down next to me. She places her arm around my shoulders.

"Wanna talk about what's going on?" Rydel asks me.

I look down at my hands. I am not sure how I feel. I am not sure who I would want if I had to pick now. They both are so different, yet some what like. I slowly nod my head to answer Rydel's question, but I am not totally sure if I am ready to talk about it.

"Are you sure that you are ready to talk about it?" She asks one more time setting one of her hands on top mine.

I slowly nod my head again, "Yeah. It's better than letting it sit."

*meanwhile downstairs*

Gus' POV:

I look at my watch again for the third time in one minute. How long does it take her to get changed into a swimsuit? And what was so important that Gordy had to go upstairs to talk to her about. I run my fingers through my hair in frustration. I can't believe that when I sent Rydel upstairs, that it would take this long. After a few more seconds, Gordy comes down the stairs and he looks at me. He gives me an devilish smirk before he continues to the patio. I look over at Gator, who lightly shrugs his shoulders before he gets up and goes outside. I can't help but get curious at what in the world Gordy was smirking about, so I get up and I head outside to see what is going on.

"She put her hand on my cheek and pulled me closer. It's like she felt the same connection between the two of us. It was amazing," Gordy says to Gil and Gator.
