Coming Out

Chapter 3

"Shit" he muttered. "I am honestly truly sorry about th-.."

Our eyes met. His hazel eyes were saying something to me in a way. You'd probably think I'm crazy, but you'd know the feeling if you'd experienced it.

"Just watch it next time, alright!" trying to sound annoyed when in reality... best moment of my life.

"Wow" he gasped, as if a fucking unicorn appeared.
"You are interesting" smiling slightly.

"Um, yeah thanks" I muttered trying to hide my blushed face trying to find my bag with the dress I just bought, I looked around, Kyara just stood there on her phone texting who knows, but I cought her trying to hide her laugh.

"Kyara? Can you help look for my bag?" annoyed

She looked up at me and then Chris. Chris stood there smiling with his perfect white teeth. Holding the bag.

"Can I have my bag back please?"

"Wanna try and get it sweet cheeks?" he laughed.
Sweet cheeks? Wasn't felling it, but the way he said it. It was okay for him to say it.

"It's Taylor and no" trying to snatch the bag away from him

"You're too short next to me sweet cheeks" he winked while laughing
'
I couldn't help by laughing also, "You're interesting" mimicking him.

"Thank you gorgeous" he smiled, butterflies kicking inside me. Okay, Taylor stop. Don't let his game get to you.

"My bag please?"

"Oh, um yeah,right. Here." he paused through every word, sounding a bit interupted. I noticed he was looking at me the whole time.

"Thanks" I held my bag and smiled, while walking away with Kyara. Kind of hoping he'll just grab me by the arm, turn me around and kiss me passionately.

It only happens in movies sadly.

"Omg! Taylor! You guys finally talked!" as we walked in an other store looking at dresses for Kyara.

"Ay dios, eso fue na" looking directly at dresses "he didn't even ask for my number"

"Uh, yes it was something loca. Didn't you see the way he looked at you?" Kyara kept smiling while she was talking as if she lost her virginty

"Uh, no it wasn't. Well to him I think. And yes! A little, but I honestly don't want to expect further more than what it was.." My voice got high at first while saying the last few words muttering.

"Well that's your thought on it and I know about the whole thing with your parents and all but you need to gain what you had before he..." she trailed off, shutting up before I even asked her too. She knew me too well.

Almost an hour passed looking for Kyara's dress, she finally found one. It was gorgeous and so her.

We decided to get something to eat at the Denver Mall in Colorado. Their food was bomb. I looked around looking for seats once our order got called up. I found seats in the back of the food court near the window. The sunset was almost at set. The view was beautiful.

Me and Kyara we're eating as if we haden't eaten in years. It was heaven. I looked around looking for people we knew just to catch up on things. I suddenly cought my eye on Chris who was already staring..

Awkward. Hoping he didn't see me while I was eating.

His guys friends who were joking around laughing catching girls attention, his eyes just laid on me.

"Hey, Taylor? Random question but how are you dominican and have that kind of name?" That question has never came up before and Kyara was honestly so random at times... Who am I kidding? All the damn time. It's really funny though but I answered it anyway knowing I might get a little tiery but whatever.

"Um, my dad as you know wasn't dominican as my mom was, he was just american and Italian, which you already know too.." laughing I kept on " anyways, he's always liked that name as I was told and my mom agreed and that's just how it came up"

"Ohhh okay, I got you now" She said laughing and smirking above my head, looking back at me and up again. He must of been tall because Kyara almost broke here neck looking up. I turned around and it was Derek? Kinda hoping for Chris since the intense staring contest. But, happy to see him anyways. He wasn't bad to look at.

"Hey Derek!" Kyara said smiling

"Hey K" he said showing his white teeth, smiling cheesily.

Ha, cute.

He then looked at me as I turned around again, looking over to where Chris was, who was now turned around facing his friends laughing like there was no tomorrow. Surprised there were no girls around them. Well on top of them to put it that way.

I felt Derek's smile form, as he tapped my shoulder "Well I'm doing good, how about you?" Still smirking

"Oh, I'm sorry. Hey Derek"

"You still caught up with that Chris guy?" Sounding serious now.

"Um, no not anymore" I lied.

"I know when you're lying" he smiled cockily

"Whatever" I laughed

"You know I don't want you near him right? He plays the girls minds twisting them, making them feel special when their obviously nothing but a one night stand" he said firmly and yet so honest.

I knew he was right.

"You should of seen the way Chris looked at Taylor earlier, it's like he was seeing his own reflection of himself for the first time after some surgery on his face!" We all burst out laughing. Oh Kyara

"Oh really?" Derek asked

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean anything" I said slurping my cold drink down my dry throat.

"Better not mean shit. If you guys end up together or whatever doing whatever and you know exactly what I'm talking about, I'll beat his ass" he said laughing

"Oh for real?"

"Wassup Chris?" Derek said quickly. It was the funniest thing ever but we knew they were both playing around. Derek would though, but Chris would probably finish it if they fought.

"So sweet cheeks" a smirk turning into his well known smile

"Taylor" I corrected him, even though the way he said that was probably the sexiest way anyone could ever say it.

"Okay, fine." He laughed " I'll call you Taylor if you just give me you're number and you'll never have to hear me call you that name for another hour"

"You could keep calling me that, I'm good" smiling, trying to hide my red cheeks

"Dude! She just killed your ego bro!" One of his friends said while the others laughed.

"By the way, since when do you ask for girls numbers and give them nick names?"one of the others out of the three asked him

"What's wrong with that?" He said facing them.

They didn't answer, they just winked at me, laughed and gave Chris a 'good luck' mouthing the words and left.

"Um, what was that about?" I asked him.

"Nothing, don't mind them. But on to the serious question. Can I have your number? You seem interesting and... " he paused "different." Considering we've only talked once, it was pretty weird.

Derek and Kyara still starring at me waiting for an answer. I noticed Derek's jaw clenched a little but didn't really pay mind on that.

"Okay, sure"
