Idiot's Guide To Falling In Love [Completed]✔

Chapter 14

Tamara looked at me with wonder. She sat back down with a confused look on her face. "Depends. What about him?" I pressed my lips together and looked anywhere but her face. "Um...Can I tell you a secret?" She nodded. I told her how Shawn and I had become friends. How I felt closer to him than I how I felt about any of our friends. I also told her how I felt about him. By the time I was done talking she stared at me in awe. She was speechless.

It took her two minutes to process everything. Then finally she said. "So, what's your question?" I sighed. I felt embarrassed to ask her this. Yes, he was her half brother but it's not like she knew him very well. "D-do you think, like by any chance, even if it's a little, I mean, is there-" She interrupted me mid sentence. "For God's sake Emma just talk!" A few people at the pool looked at us as if we were crazy. We both glared at them. "Do you think I have a chance with him?" She laughed. "Seriously, that's your question?" I nodded. She shook her head. "Emma, if anyone has a chance with him, it's you. I've seen the way he looks at you. So have the rest, why do you think they're so mad that you two are so close? We all know your feelings for each other are stronger than a simple friendship." I stared at her. Tamara would never lie, much less about this. I wanted to believe her so much, but I was nervous. Nervous that she was wrong.

After a while she put her hand on mine. "Go get your man." Before she left she turned around and said, "If you're feeling nervous, take a shot or two. It helps." And then she left.

What started as "a shot or two" ended up in wayyyy more than it should have. By the time I decided that enough was enough I headed out the door. I completely forgot about my mission right until the moment I saw Shawn with Ellie, who he supposedly broke up with, with their tongues in each other's throat.

The tears started falling before I even realized it. I was half way to the door when Shawn saw me and got Ellie off of him. He stopped me. "Are you okay? What happened?" I turned my head and kept walking. "Do you want to talk about it?" I stopped in my tracks. I did. They only thing I'd wanted all night was to talk to him and my chance had finally arrived. I nodded.

He led me to John's room which should have given me an idea of what was going to happen next.

At first we just sat in silence on the bed. Then he spoke. "So...are you planning on telling me why you're crying?" I sighed. "Can I tell a secret?" He nodded. "I kind of like you, like, a lot." He laughed "You, Miss, are drunk off your ass." I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I am. But I'm not lying. I swear." He stood in silence. "So, if you're not drunk, tell me. What is the square root of 2?" Are you kidding me? "Uhhh...one? " He shook his head. "You really are drunk. The number two doesn't have a square root." I thought about it. How could I have not known that? I literally just walked in his trap.

We stayed silent until he asked. "So, if you're drunk" I rolled my eyes. "I'm not drunk!" He laughed. "Whatever you say. Anyways, if you're drunk, that means you won't remember this tomorrow?" I sat with a confused face. "Remember what?" I asked him. He smiled, put his hand on my cheek and started kissing me. Like, really kissing me.

What I thought would be a peck on the lips became a full on make out and by the time we were both on the bed I had completely forgotten about his conversation with James.

My time had finally arrived, I was with the boy I loved as a friend and liked as more. It was perfect.

Then the unexpected happened, at least coming from him.

I could feel his hand going under my shirt. And then it hit me. The screenshot. I pushed him off of me. He looked at me confused.

"Emma? Are you okay?" I felt my stomach doing flips. I started feeling queasy and prepared to vomit, but I couldn't. Talking to him came first.
