chapter twelve

''Wait, he did what?'' Winona sat in shock as Natalya described the shocking news that she was given a day ago. ''I- well yeah he did. He kissed my cheek and left before my parents were due to get back.''

''I fucking knew it! I'm sorry to say this, but c'mon.I told you, Nat. So things are definitely over with him and Lala?'' Excitement laced Winona's tone as she witnessed the happy look on her bestfriends face.

''Yep. I still feel weird about it though. I don't wanna just jump into this with him.'' She looked down at her fingers. Natalya had wanted to be with Corey for what felt like forever, but there was no way she was going to rush into things. ''Like, what if I'm his rebound?''

''He's in too deep now. He wouldn't have broken up with Lala if he didn't mean it, okay?'' Winona wanted to reassure Natalya that she wouldn't be hurt.

''Well, when are you next seeing him?'' Winona wiggled her eyebrows. ''Probably tonight. He comes round every Monday after soccer with Aidan.'' Natalya suddenly realised something as she finished speaking.

''Oh shit.'' She gasped. ''What?'' Winona looked at her with confusion. ''Aidan! There's no way I can tell Aidan. He will want to beat the shit out of Corey.''

''What, why? Nat, Corey is probably the nicest boy in our grade.'' ''He still has a penis. And, is Aidan's bestfriend. This is great.'' Natalya buried her head in her hands.

''Well, you aren't exactly together yet so just cross that bridge when you come to it.'' Winona shrugged, unsure of what to say. ''Right, I've got to go and get some shit for my mom from the store. Call me later and tell me how it goes.'' Winona hugged the nervous girl goodbye and left.

Natalya sat in wait; growing more anxious by the second. She was unsure of how to act around Corey anyway. But, after what he had admitted she was even more unsure of what to do.

''Sweetheart, can you come down?'' Mrs Jones shouted to her daughter.

Natalya skipped down the stairs to find her mother standing by the door. ''Aidan is bringing home tacos and your dad is working late. I've got to head over to the office for a while so I'll be back later.'' She quickly kissed her forehead before leaving.

Natalya went into the kitchen and flipped through her magazine. ''Jeez, he looks like Corey but with red hair.'' She shook off the thought as she saw an article on the film Dream A Little Dream.

After around half and hour, Aidan walked in, Corey following him.

''I bring tacos.'' Aidan chanted, slamming them down on the table. Natalya dismissed her brothers existence, her focus was on the beautiful blonde boy that had just entered.

Corey shot a quick wink at her; her cheeks flushing crimson as she sat at the table.

For the first time ever, Corey took a seat beside her, confusing Aidan instantly.

"Dude, why are you sitting on that side?'' Aidan rolled his eyes, suspicion lacing his tone.

"It's awkward talking to you when I'm next to you, man. Natalya you don't mind, do you?'' Corey turned to look at her; trying to sustain a smirk from rising upon his expression.

"No, not at all.'' She smiles innocently.

The 3 sat down to eat. Suddenly, Natalya felt Corey's hand graze hers underneath the table. Their fingers intertwined for a split second until Aidan looked at them again.

Although it was risky, the two liked the excitement of it. Keeping a secret, nobody knowing about their love for each other.

Everything they'd ever wanted was now in their possession, but was it going to be easy?
