Why Do I Always Fall for the Bad Boys?

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Tammy's POV

This paranoia is killing me. Numerous questions were relentlessly swimming in my head in a series of disturbing thoughts.

Why hasn't he made a move? Does he still have feelings for me? Is he in love with someone else already? Or maybe he decided to switch sides and like guys instead?

I instantly shook the last question out of my head, mad at myself for thinking of him that way. Why the hell would I even think about Blake like that? He was certainly not gay. I've seen him at the party and talked to him. If ever he was gay, I would know.

You see how this paranoia is getting into my nerves? Ugh!

Two weeks had passed since the day I found out Danny and my cousin Eve had a thing going on between them. It's still weird for me, seeing as my ex-boyfriend – turned best friend again – is now dating my party-crazed cousin. I guess the statement 'Opposites Attract' worked for them both. And I'm happy for them. Truly.

In the span of two weeks, I also spent exchanging a series of friendly text messages with Blake. I've opened up about Danny and I's situation – that we are indeed back to being best friends and nothing more. I was expecting him to make a move to sweep me off my feet but up until now, nothing has happened.

Oh, Tammy, you shouldn't be expecting too much. Maybe he's moved on. You sort of dumped him years ago, remember? The rational side of my brain reminded me and I couldn't help but sigh out loud, because I knew that that part of me was indeed right.

Blake's POV

"Look man, you're showing her a new you. You wouldn't want her to think that you're still the same old you a couple of years ago, would you? The one she dumped because you were acting like a total dick." Tommy chuckled quietly at his last remark and continued his lecture, "Show her the new version of Blake and not just another hot headed and eager bad boy who wants to get into her pants."

"But I don't want to get into her pants," I corrected Tommy who was on the other line with his girlfriend, Zoey, giving me not-so-helpful advises. "I'm in love with her, you idiot. And stop reminding me about what happened years ago. That's in the past and I'm over it. I just want her back now."

"Awww," Zoey cooed from the background. She was helping me get back with Tammy too ever since she heard the news that Danny cheated on her with her cousin. But Tommy advised me to wait for Tammy to give the go signal, whatever that meant, I'm not even sure.

"Can't I just tell her that I still have feelings for her? She probably already thinks that I don't. I mean c'mon, it's been weeks already. It might be too late," I added.

"Be patient, dude. And besides, Zoey here says that Tammy has been talking to her about you nonstop last night. I'm pretty sure she's making a move anytime soon. Just wait. You'll never know, she might make a move tomorrow, or tonight, or maybe in a couple minutes," Tommy replied knowingly. I can sense him smirking on the other line.

I raised my brow in question but remembered he couldn't see it. "Tom, do you know something that I don't?" I asked instead.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he retorted in a sing-song voice, frustrating me even more.

"Dude, just tell me if y –" I was cut off mid-sentence when my phone beeped, signalling I had a text message. I hesitantly checked the screen to know who it was... It was Tammy! My Tammy! Finally! "Hold on a sec, I got a text." I placed Tommy on hold to reply to Tammy's text.
