Don't Get It Twisted | Mikey Barone | Aaron Fuller | Bryce Hall

Chapter 4

Maya's POV:

"I've liked him for a few months now. i guess. But i'm never going to tell him because he doesn't feel the same way and our friendship would be ruined. I'd rather keep this a secret from him than risk never being friends with him again."

"No way. He likes you too, i just know it."

I wish what Lil said is true, but Bryce likes her, not me. I did used to think i had feelings for Mikey, but seeing the way him and Lil act around eachother made me realise i actually didn't like him as anything more than a friend. But Bryce is different for me. He takes care of me, he protects me, he's always there for me. I just wish i could have a relationship with him.

Mikey's POV:

"Go for it, man," Bryce tells me,
"You really like her, she likes you so why not? Just ask her to hang out, just the two of you if you're scared of being rejected. Don't call it a date and then there's no pressure."

"I don't know Bryce, what if she says no?"

"She won't."

"How do you know though Bryce? I really like her, i can't mess this up!"

"Talk to Maya first then. Maya will know if she likes you for sure."

"Okay, i'll facetime her tomorrow, when her and Lil aren't together."

"Okay, bye man."

"Bye Bryce," i say before hanging up on him.

Lil's POV:

"WOOOOOOOOOO! I knew it, i knew it, i knew it!" Maya screams down the phone.

This morning Mikey asked me if i wanted to hang out with him, without anyone else, just the two of us, on a date.

***********************************

(flashback):

*phone ringing*

"Hi Mikey, what's up?" i said, after answering his call.

"Lil, hey, um i... i was just wondering if... maybe you wanted to... and it's fine if you don't, but i j-just wanted to know i-if..."

"Mikey, what is it? Are you worried, boo?" i laughed down the phone.

"Sorry. I um just wanted to ask you if maybe you would like to hang out with me? Without Maya and Bryce?"

"Oh, um... boo i don't know," i replied, but he didn't pick up on my sarcasm.

"Well, never mind Lil, that's okay. See you on Monday then," he sighed.

I started laughing at him, "Mikey, i was being sarcastic, of course i would."

"Oh, well..." he laughed nervously down the phone. "Um so are you free this weekend? We could go out to dinner or... or we could do...well, we can do anything you want. It's up to you."

"Mikey, are you asking me on a date?" i asked him, cheekily down the phone.

"Um... if you want it to be Lil," i could hear his nerves down the phone, it was so cute.

"But do you want it to be a date Mikey?" i said, still giggling a bit.

"I guess, yeah i do, but it doesn't have to be if you wouldn't like it to be Lil."

He sounded so cute, it was adorable.

"Mikey, i'd love to go on a date with you, boo." We both laughed, and i could tell his nerves had gone.

"Why were you so nervous?" i asked him, after, implying he shouldn't have been.

"I didn't want to mess this up. You mean a lot to me, Lil."

"You mean a lot to me too, Mikey."

**********************************

Tomorrow, we're going out for dinner. Mikey won't tell me where, but he told me to dress nice. With the invaluable help of Maya, i've decided to wear a cute satin slip dress, and i'm wearing it with a pair of Maya's black thigh high boots.

'7:30pm. be ready boo.' Mikey texts.
