Once in California

CHAPTER 14

The weekend went away very fast, what they did most of the time was get drunk, especially Logan. So Stiles was trying to keep him on track,  but it was impossible to follow him sober. He managed though to stop him from doing stupid things.

Lydia kept on hanging out with Freddie, Jason and Crystal. Emilia didn’t feel so left behind because she was the whole weekend with Kit and Mary spend a lot of time with Jenny and her new catch of the week.

Once they went back to Laguna beach things became a little weirder for the four of them, the others were back to their respective hotel and houses so they didn’t spend as much time together as they did in Vegas.

They went to the beach, and went out most of the time but the moments when the four of them were alone were really awkward for Stiles and Lydia.

One morning Stiles was talking with Logan on the phone, they’ve become really close.

“Yeah, fine! I’ll meet you at Joey’s I really can’t stand another awkward breakfast” Stiles laughed on the phone at something Logan said and didn’t notice Lydia and Emilia who were at the end of the stairs.

Emilia smiled at him and he smiled back

“Morning girls” he said and pass through them to the door.

“You’re not having breakfast with us?” Emilia asked and Lydia looked at her feet

“Nop, Milly going to Joey’s” he smiled again. He started calling her Milly and everyone else did the same.

Both of them became close too, it was true that they were very alike and Emilia wanted to know as much as she could about Kit’s childhood.

“Buu, fine! Say Hi to Logan” Emilia said waving at him.

Stiles was about to get on his Jeep when he heard his name

“Stiles!” Lydia called him and he turned around a bit surprise “Wait, just wait”

“What’s up?” he said trying to pretend he was not surprised at all of her talking to him.

“I.. I can’t keep doing this, we really should talk!”

Stiles rolled his eyes

“There’s nothing to talk about… we are fine”  he grabbed the door of the jeep.

“No we aren’t” Lydia put her hand on the Jeep’s door “You haven’t even talk to me since we got back from Vegas”

Stiles sighed

“We don’t have to talk all the time you know…”

“Stiles I mean it! We were friends weren’t we?” she asked and looked at him with those green emerald eyes.

“Were we? I really don’t know…  I think I got a mixed message there”   

“I didn’t mean to… I…”

“You know what, it’s fine, I’m fine” he looked at the floor and then back at her “I’m the idiot who thought you could actually like me”

“But I do like you, you’re a great guy, trust me you don’t want to be with me”

Stiles laughed

“You know what Lydia it’s ok, you don’t like me that way I get it… I’ll get over it is not the end of the world” his caramel eyes looked deep into her emerald ones “but don’t lie to yourself, what you’re doing is stupid, you don’t have to be with me if you don’t want to but stop acting like someone who doesn’t care”
