Twice As Shy

Chapter 2

Kyle's POV

Reese comes in the kitchen and looks at us suspiciously. I'm used to the "intimidating" glare she's trying to use, but Ryan could never hold her stare for long. I wait for him to fold like he always does. I do a mental countdown in my head.

5....... The muscles in his arms starts to twitch

4...... He starts to shift from leg to leg

3.... He starts to bounce up and down on the tips of his feet.

2... Hand wipes face

1.. "So, who's up for pizza tonight?"

I bust out laughing. Ryan glares at me in a "shut up or I'll smash your face in" kind of  way. Whatever.

"What were you guys just talking about?" Charice asks, with her arms crossed.

I am completely prepared to ignore her question, but , again, Ryan is whipped in a major way.

He pulls Reese into his arms, and whispers something in her ear, that seems to qualify as an answer.

She turns to face me, as if she's got some words to share. At that moment, the rugrats choose to run into the kitchen, asking for some ice cream. Crisis averted.

I take this moment to make my escape. As I'm making my way upstairs to my room, I hear the front door opening.

"Hey son. Come help me bring your mom's stuff in," my dad calls to me, holding the door open for my mom.

I turn around and come back down the stairs. I salute my dad and kiss my mom on the cheek, before heading outside.

I'm definitely home.

Megan's POV

Aaron won't tell me where we're going tonight. He's been quiet since I got that phone call from mom 5 minutes ago.

Mom: Hi honey, where are you?

Me: Hey mom. Aaron is taking me on a date tonight

Mom: Oh okay, well did you drop your sister off over the Tyler's house?

Me: ( sigh) Yes mam

Mom: Well that's unfortunate.... I need you to go over there after you get home tonight. I'm going out with their parents to celebrate being home. I need you to go over and help watch the kids. Reese will be too caught up in Ryan to really keep an eye on Jessie and Mike, and Lord know Kyle can not be counted upon to be a good influence.

( I didn't like the way that sounded. Kyle isn't THAT  bad of a person)

Me: Mama, that's not nice I thought you loved Kyle

Mom: Oh I most certainly do, but the last time he was home babysitting Mike and Jessie ended up with rashes from poison ivy. I'd just be more comfortable if you were over there. Please, I know Reese will love having you around

(Of course, she plays the bestfriend/guilt card)

Me: FINE, I'll be over after my date.

Mom: Thanks Sweets. Love you. Bye. (hangs up)

Ryan: What did your mom want? Why were you talking about Kyle?

Me: I have to go watch the kids over at Reese's house. (totally ignoring the second question)

.................................................Silence................................................

I'm okay with comfortable silences, but this is downright awkward. Aaron is obviously feeling some type of way about me going over Reese's house.

I reach over and put my hand on his thigh. " Sweetheart, why are you mad at me?"

Aaron just moves his thigh away, and continues driving in silence. " Fine, be a douchebag. It's not like we're going on a date or anything," I say pouting.

Aaron finally gets to a place where he can park the car. I look around and notice we're at the carnival.

I'm still looking around, when Aaron says some thing.

I turn back around in my seat to face him. " I'm sorry. What'd you say?"

"Is Kyle gonna be there?" Aaron responds, looking at me intently.

Is that what this is about? Seriously, after everything, he's concerned I give two flips about Kyle Tyler.

Looking Aaron straight in the eye, I answer his question honestly.

"Yes."

Aaron finally turns the car off and sits back in his seat.

Rubbing his jaw, he says, " I don't want you to go, Megan."

Now we're getting somewhere. " Why not?"

"If Reese and Ryan are there, there are more than enough people to watch those kids. You don't need to be there. Kyle is just going to try and cozy up to you, and we don't need that. NOT IN OUR RELATIONSHIP."

"Sooo, you... don't.... trust me? Is that what this is? We've been dating for 4 months. 4 FREAKING MONTHS, and you still don't trust me. You know what, just take me home. I wanted a nice carefree evening out with my boyfriend, and you've managed to ruin that. Take me home.

" I trust you. I do, but he wants you. I know that and you know it. So why put yourself in a position to get used and thrown away like you did before? Why go court disaster, and leave me to pick up the pieces? Why go knowing he might be with Mary, because THEY'RE STILL FUCKING TOGETHER? How can you feel good about yourself, knowing you fucked her boyfriend? WHILE THEY WERE TOGETHER!!!!!!!! Baby, just stay with me tonight. My parents are still on vacation. Or don't stay with me and just go home, but don't go over there. I don't want you to."

By this point, he's holding my hand, and begging. But I'm done. " Take. Me Home. Now. Or I will call Ryan to come and get me," I say staring out the window.

Aron snatches his hand away and starts the car, shooting out of the parking lot.  Well, there goes another relationship.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaron and I are sitting in my driveway, neither of us making a move to do what needs to be done. He won't apologize and I can't leave.

Sighing deeply, Aaron asks me, " Is it something I said?"

Correction, he can't apologize, but I can definitely leave.

"Aaron, I told you about Kyle because I trusted you. The way you just threw that back in my face, shows me how little you care for my feelings. Four months we've been dating. Three years we've known each other, and you still choose to believe that I'm not capable of telling a guy "no", if you aren't around. I don't need this. I'm sorry, but we're through. I can't do it anymore."

I open my door and begin to get out the car, when he yells at my back, " Then run back to Kyle because we both know that's what you've been dying to do."

I slam the door, and curse myself for being so stupid.... again.

I go into the house grab some clothes, my keys, and drive over to my best friend's house to face the guy everyone thinks I should avoid.
