⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Can't you just stay the night, I want you to lay in my arms. I can't stand the feeling of you being away from me at the moment. You drove me crazy, Lukasiak." Ricky groaned, while they both walked downstairs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe sighed dramatically and shook her head, jumping off of the last stile. She turned around and saw how Ricky looked at her, sadness and disappointment plastered on his face. "N- no, I can't. They expect me at the clubhouse." Chloe said for the hundreth time already. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I know..." Ricky sighed, grabbing Chloe by her arm and pulling her closer to him. "But I want you to stay with me." Ricky complained, wrapping his arms around the petite blonde. She giggled and looked up, smiling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And when Ricky noticed her smile, he smiled as well. "It's the first time you do this" He breathed, admiring the gorgeous grin on her face. "What?" Chloe asked, raising her eyebrows in confusion. "It's the first time you smile at me like that" He timidly said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe blushed and looked down, biting her lip. "I have no idea what I need to do..." She whispered, while she was getting worried. Ricky put her chin up, examining her face. "We'll figure something out, I swear." He said, trying to comfort her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She slowly shook her head in disagreement, and sighed. "That's impossible, Ricky. You're a triple Z. I'm an L, it can't work out. These two are meant to hate each other, not to hug or kiss, let alone sleep with each other." She said, her eyes tearing up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Then what's this between us, Chloe?" He asked softly. He moved his hands to strike her cheeks with his thumbs, and made sure that she was looking directly into his eyes. "I know what everyone thinks, but I don't care as long as I'm with you. It's the only thing which matters right now." He said, making Chloe smile a little bit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"If they don't understand, then they're not real friends. Because we shouldn't be labeled like this, Chlo. And especially you, you deserve better." Ricky whizzed, gently kissing her forehead. "No Ricky... Haven't you read Romeo and Juliet yet?" She sighed, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're a Montague, and I'm a Capulet. This can't work." Chloe said, her eyes tearing up once again. "Don't cry..." He lisped, pressing his forehead against hers, "of course I've read it. And you know what? Romeo and Juliet didn't give a fuck about what everyone said and they loved each other." He said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And then they died, Ricky." Chloe said, a tear escaping her chocolate brown eyes. "They died for each other" Ricky corrected, pulling her closer. "Ricky I-" she sighed, but Ricky cut her off. "Let's keep it a secret then." He suggested. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"If we can't be a couple in school, then fine... But you always have an excuse to come over to my house to work at our essay." Ricky said, his eyes sparkling by his own idea. "It will work out, I promise." He said, lacing their hands together. "But if you don't want to do this, then I'm not going to force you." Ricky whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"The only thing I want is for you to be happy. And if you love Josh, then fine. Then we can go back to our normal lives," he said, "but if you love me, like you just told me before... Then we only have one option, and that's going for it." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe in- and exhaled deeply, taking it all in. "I'm not going to cheat on Josh anymore..." She whispered, staring into Rickys emerald eyes. The hope in his eyes faded and it felt like his breaths got cut off. "Oh" He said, slowly unlacing their hands and looking down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I understand," he muttered, "I'm such a fool. It's all my own fault. I must've been friendly towards you from the start... I'm a complete assho-" He rattled, but he got cut off by Chloe, who pressed her lips on his' with a giggle. "Shut up, you jerk" She giggled through their kiss. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀They pulled apart and Ricky frowned at her, not understanding what just happened. "I'm not going to cheat on him anymore, because I'll break up with him. People may have no clue that we have something, Josh doesn't deserve it either. I feel super guilty at the moment, but I want nothing more than to be with you." Chloe said, a weak smile forming on her face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Really?" Ricky asked, raising his eyebrows and the cornors of his mouth curling up into an enormous smile. Chloe nodded and Ricky cheered, while picking up Chloe, spinning her around. "Put me down" She squealed, while she was laughing as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're such a bitch for making me scared" He said, while he puts her down. "And you're a dumb jerk for not letting me finish my sentence first" She teased him, poking him in his belly. "We're literally the cutest couple" Ricky said, rolling his eyes playfully. "How could I hate you all this time?" Chloe asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky shrugged his shoulders and smirked, while putting a strain of her blonde hair behind her ear. "You just secretly crushed on me so hard, that you couldn't resist to hate me, because you know... I'm smart, popular, hot, every girl wants me, I'm good at sports..." Ricky summed up, laughing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe slapped him on his shoulder, "Stop!" She laughed, grabbing him by his collar and pulling him close, so that they were sharing breaths at this point. "You asked me why, I just gave you a possibility." Ricky chukled, a smirk escaping his lips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀His face softened and he exhaled deeply, locking his arms around her waist. "I love you, Chloe. I freaking love you, how dare you making me feel like this" He whispered. "You told me before, I'm a stuck-up blonde bitch. That's what girls like me do." She whizzed, the gap between them declining more every single second. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Touché" Ricky smirked, before kissing her again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
