Once in California

CHAPTER 6

Kit took like 10 seconds to assimilate what had happened and when he did he pushed Crystal away breaking the kiss.

“Woo, What are you doing?” he asked her.

She just blinked in confusion.

“Kissing you duuh” she stated like if it was the most obvious thing to do. She tried to kiss him again but he stopped her.

“No, no, Crystal I think you’re not getting it” The group of people who were behind him had left so he could step backwards. “I don’t want to kiss you”

She frowned

“Well that was rude” she said

“I don’t mean to be rude, but you can’t just kiss me” he wanted to leave, he really needed to go back to Emilia.

“Why not?”

Kit rolled his eyes, he was losing his patience

“Because you can’t, I mean you’re a really nice girl, but I don’t like you like that”

“You don’t?” she asked and looked more confused than before

“Sorry” he said and grabbed the other beer which was still on the counter.

“No one has said that to me before” she was confused and hurt he could tell and he felt terrible for it.

“Well, don’t worry, you’ll find someone for sure, but doesn't have to be me” he started walking back to where he left Emilia, Crystal was still following him.

“How are you so sure of that?” she asked, now her tone was friendly.

“Like I said before, you are a pretty girl” he wasn’t looking at her, he was searching for Emilia, because she wasn’t where he left her. “Where is she?” he whispered.

"You're really sweet, who ever you like, she is lucky to have you" Crystal said.

"I'm not so sure of that anymore" he said, trying to thinj why Emilia would have left.

He saw Stiles coming towards him.

“Hey have you seen Emilia?” Kit asked and his friend smirked

“Did you lose her already? That was a record” he joked.

“Seriously Stiles…”

“Yeah, fine!” he pointed to the other side of the house “I think I saw her going over there, she was with Lydia”

Kit sighted in relief, at least she is not gone. He was hoping to spend more time with her but apparently he was not that lucky tonight. For a moment he thought that maybe she got tired of waiting for him, but he hadn’t been gone that long, 15 or 20 min. Ok maybe he had been gone a long time.

“Where is Jenny?” Crystal asked Stiles

“I think she said she went to the restroom” he answered.

The girl wave at them and rushed to find her friend, leaving the two boys on their own.

Stiles looked at the two beers Kit was still holding and took one.

“For me? You’re an amazing friend you know that”.

Kit didn’t even bother in explaining whose beer was that, it was pointless, by now she was probably buying another one.

“Come on, smile a bit more” Stiles told him “They will probably find us later” he cheered him up. His friend knew him too well.

Kit nodded
