I Love To Hate You

Chapter 11

Kyle has been avoiding me big time. Okay maybe he is maybe he isn't. I just know I haven't seen him all day and the one time I did see him he took off in the other direction. It's now lunchtime and well if I'm honest I miss him.

"Kayla what the fuck is going on? You and Kyle were just friends and you was just smiling like omg Kyle and I had lunch and now your not talking. What the fuck happened?" Addy asked throwing her lunch tray on the table. I just smiled shyly at her and she glared back.

"Okay so I may or may not have told him we aren't friends after he took me home?" I say and smile unsurely at her. She face palms herself and rolls her eyes. I sit and watch her think. Thinking myself too. I still don't know why I said it, we were getting along well for DAYS before then and I was just fine being his friend. I think the party and him caring for me it was too much for me. I got nervous about my feelings and wanted distance from him and now that I got it, I really hate it.

"Were going to Brennan's and you are fixing this Kayla. I will drag you." She says and glares at me. I just shrug my shoulders. I'm honestly happy she's forcing me to do this but I'd never tell her that.

"Well it sucks that the boys won't be joining us for lunch today." Hannah says sighing as she sits down. I roll my eyes knowing the reason. Kyle was too stubborn and him avoiding me like I'm the deathly plague just makes him appear childish, in my own opinion anyway. Especially since he isn't going to let his friends sit with us either.

"Don't worry Kayla is fixing this, aren't you?" Addy says pointing her fork at me. I yet again just shrug my shoulders. The more I thought about talking to him the more nervous I got but I know for a fact that Addy will drag me.

"I'm gay" Madi blurts out as she comes to the table. We all three turn to look at her. She was still standing and looking for our reactions and I could tell she was nervous. I smile at her and she sighs and finally takes a seat.

"You're what? I can't believe I never noticed. My gaydar is unbelievable." Hannah exclaimed. Hannah did somehow always guess when people were in the closet. I do not know how.
"Yeah unbelievably not a thing." Addy snorts and Hannah throws her celery stick at her.

"So you guys aren't weirded out or anything? I'm still invited to the sleepovers?" Madi asked full of hope.
"Madi, of course your still invited. You are our best friend." I stated in a duh tone.

"Yeah and like let's be honest. If you do try to get in my pants. I totally understand. I'm hot, classy and totally sassy." Addy says winking. I snort on my water and shake my head. We were all laughing and it felt good. It always feels good to be surrounding by people who truly care about you and would go to hell and back for your friendship. I know a lot of people search their whole lives for a true friendship and I was lucky enough to find my life long friends early and I'm never ever letting them go.

Addy has rang the doorbell at least 15 times and still nobody has came to the door.

"Addy, chill. It's obvious nobody is home." I say rolling my eyes. Addy could be stubborn sometimes but it's one of the many traits I forced myself to love over the years.

"Kayla no. We will stand on this door step until they show up. I do not care." She ranted pressing the doorbell a total of 6 more times. I think fate is showing me that I do not need to talk to Kyle and that this a terrible idea. Honestly I'm scared he's going to be pissed at me. He's been mad at me before but I don't know, his opinion is more important to me now that we've developed this friendship. The door opening broke me from my thoughts.

"What the hell, you must have rang the doorbell like 30 times." Brennan grunts stepping aside to let us in. His hair was wet and you could clearly tell he has just gotten out of the shower. This didn't stop Addison from going off on him.

"Well you should of opened the door then." She smirked and walked into the living space that was off to the right. "Where is Kyle? the lovely Kayla has to talk to him." She asks Brennan. He shrugs.

"I know he stays here a lot but I don't exactly keep tabs on him. But hold up I'll call him." He says and pulls out his phone and puts it on speaker. It rang three times before Kyle picked up.

"What's up?" Kyle answers out of breath.

"Umm." Brennan starts looking to us for what to say. Addy mouths come home and does a bunch of body movements that are supposed to signal what she was mouthing but they were pretty hard to decipher. Brennan's nods though.

"You need to come back to my house like now"

"Okay? Let me finish my workout and shower and I'll be there." Kyle replies and Addy shakes her head no, Brennan ignored it though and hangs up the phone.

"Calm your tits and let the boy workout. He won't be too long. Plus I can keep you occupied." Brennan winks at Addy as he says this and I turn my face up on disgust. Addy was blushing, badly. I had to save her.

"Actually as badly as she wants to decline herself, I'm going to do it for her and say that she has places to be and people to see. Oh and guess what? It's not you!" I explained and led Addy to the door. She smirked and I went to exit with her and she pushed me back in.

"You can keep Kayla occupied though, with boardgames or something!" She shouts as the door closes and I sigh knowing I have to get the talk over with. I hope Kyle is quick.

"So you gonna confess your love or something?" Brennan questioned turning the tv on. I snorted and laughed.

"Please, lets be serious. I'm just here to tell him my actions were uncalled for so he can stop avoiding me." I explained also sitting down on the couch. In return I got a laugh from Brennan and I didn't really seem to understand what was funny.

"Oh Kayla. If you think your little comment is why Kyle is avoiding you then you got a rude awakening." He continued to laugh as he left the room and now I was even more confused. I didn't do anything else did I?

When the front door opened I jumped up off the couch & was very happy to see it was finally Kyle. I walked up to him nervously.

"Kayla." I could tell he was suprised to see me and I understood why. I also would be if Addy called me home and when I walked in he was standing in front of me.

"Kyle. We need to talk" I stated and went back to the living area and sat down on the couch. He had followed me with no questions. Which I was grateful for. "I wanted to apologize for how I acted Sunday morning and tell you my actions and words were totally uncalled for." I murmured. I was a little embarrassed and when he didn't say anything back I got nervous and that's when I started to ramble.

"It really wasn't fair of me to be like that after you cared for me the night before, and got me home safely. You really are pretty good at the buddy system. I think that I was just scared not that we were getting along but I was scared I would end up liking us getting along and then it would all end and go back to us hating each other. Ya know what I mean?" It felt good to admit it but Kyle still wasn't saying anything he was just staring at me.

"I never hated you Kayla." He told me grabbing my hand. I hardly noticed though because I was too distracted by my thoughts. I could feel him moving in closer and I could tell he was going to kiss me. I kept my eyes glued to his as I debated wether I should let this happen. He's cute and obviously has a caring side but he's Kyle Coldwater damnit. His lips touched mine as I was still discussing my internal battle. As soon as I felt his kiss I knew which side had won and I kissed him back softly at first. I was still on the edge about this and some part of me thought he was just playing with me but I ignored it as he deepened the kiss. Hell I ignored everything like the fact we were in a family living area and his best friend was up stairs.

He finally pulled away and I kept my eyes closed because if I'm honest I was scared to look at him.

"That definitely lived up to my expectations. What about yours sweetheart?"

Expectations. What expectations?
