And Just Like That I Started Loving You. {Finished}

S I X.

I've been thinking what to wear since I got home yesterday, after my 'date' with Tae. I wanted something casual, yet very feminine and at the same time something he'd like. I went for a long sleeve fuscia blouse, leggings and black ballerinas. My face had a tad of makeup on the lips and eyelashes, trying to make my eyes pop out. Bella had a family dinner, that was the reason she wasn't here helping me out with this crisis, but Alex and Zoey were thrilled to join me tonight. To be honest I was nervous and confused and excited. I had a mixture of emotions playing around inside of me.

I threw myself on the bed, feeling the soft texture of my eiderdown and my mind planning every possible scenario occurring today. Thinking about what could go wrong and what could go right. What if his girl arrives and sees me and she feels like I want to jump into him and make out with him and steal him away from her. I just hated this. Always over thinking and over analyzing everything, when will I ever stop?

I heard a knock on the door. ''Persis, your friends are here.'' My mother said, slightly opening the door, noticing me lying on the bed like a sea star.

''Thanks mom.'' I stood up from the bed and in a matter of seconds Alex and Zoey's footsteps on the stairs were breaking down the silence living in the house.

They entered the room. ''I love your blouse!'' Alex said, pointing at it, with a happy expression on her face.

''Thanks!'' I hugged her and then I hugged Zoey, they sat on the bed as I stood in front of them, wanting to speak about something really important. ''Okay girls,'' I put my hands together. ''I hope everything goes right tonight, because we are going to Jeon Jungkook's party.'' Stating the obvious.

''But you need to calm down,'' Alex spoke, while Zoey nodded, agreeing to her comment. ''Don't get nervous and everything will be fine.''

''You really think so?''

''Of course,'' She rolled her eyes and then a smile stretched on her lips. A sigh escaped my lips as I tried to act chill about it, but truth is, I wasn't. I was nervous because I liked this guy and even though it was really weird and awkward every time we talked, he was something. ''But before we leave, we must speak about something.'' They both looked at each other and then their eyes were on me as they moved their eyebrows up and down.

''What?'' I questioned, confused.

''The date with Tae...''
''Oh,'' I let out a chuckle, before letting them know how it all went. ''It was a mess, he thinks I like him and I'm such a coward because I didn't let him know I wasn't into him.''

''Wait, what?!'' Their jaws dropped with surprise. I shook my head, chuckling in disappointment.

''He told me how he was feeling and before I could go on, my mom called and I just felt bad after I hung up, you know? I didn't want to break his heart.'' They had death glares on their face as I tried to understand them. In fact, I did. I was so stupid. I should've just told him the truth and he'd probably would've understand. But instead, I let the the truth be stuck inside of me.

''Oh Persis.'' Alex shook her head as I looked at them, completely lost as I remembered everything that happened yesterday. He opened doors for me, he payed the check, he took me home and he acted differently. He called me when he got home just to say he got safe and sound and that he wanted to go out tonight, but I said I couldn't because I had plans already and the tone in his voice changed.

''What if I give it a shot?''

''With who? Taehyung?'' Zoey asked, an indignant tone in her voice. Her eyes were wide open and so were Alex's. I nodded. ''Think about it twice.'' She warned.

I watched my mom's car become smaller in my sight as it slowly drove away from us. We stood outside of Jungkook's house, hesitating to ring the bell. The cold was starting to live in my bones, as I tried to warm myself up by blowing some air into my hands. For a second there the cold left, but then it came back. Damn it.
