Lovestruck

Chapter 7

Jordan's POV
While we're all sitting in a circle in the living room, Jess gets up too look for an empty wine bottle to use. Everyone's here except Jon, I wish I knew what happened to him and his ex girlfriend, he hasn't been the same since. Believe it or not, there was a time when he used to respect girls, and the way they felt. Sitting down in the last available spot, between Kayla and Danny, she spins the bottle instantly snapping me out of my thoughts. As the bottle's spinning around and around, it finally comes to a stop. Oh great, it's me.
      "Truth or dare?"
What the hell does she have in mind, and why is she smirking at me like that? Looking around the room trying to decide my answer, a certain someone catches my attention. Liv. She's so unbelievably stunning, her long brown hair is put up in a messy bun, and she's wearing a maroon knee length summer dress with long sleeves. I try to miss the way her dress rides up on her left leg showing more of her thigh than intended, but I just can't. It's getting harder and harder to contain what I want to do to her, and pretty soon it's gonna be pretty noticeable too. I just wanna hear her-
      "Earth to Jordan! Pick!"
Blinking hard, I try to recover from my thoughts, but it's harder to than I expect.
      "Truth"
      "Is it true you that have a crush on someone in the room?"
       "No" I say aloud watching Liv's smile fade away. Just because I think she's hot, and can't keep my eyes off of her doesn't mean that I have a crush on her. It just means that she's sexy, there's a difference. She's a friend, and that's all she is, I'm not looking for romance this summer. As I ignore how the room falls silent, I take my turn and spin the bottle.

Joey's POV
Jordan's full of shit, everyone knows he has a thing for Liv, but if he wants to try and convince us otherwise then fine. I can't wait to see his dick plan blow up in his face. Watching the bottle come to a halt, I roll my eyes and wait for the famous question.
"Truth or dare."
"Dare"
"I dare you to.. kiss Liv." He says. Okay, wow he's really trying to prove a point. Glancing at Tori, I can see how annoyed she is, but it doesn't matter because she made it pretty clear we weren't dating. I like her a lot, but it's a dare and I'm not gonna be a coward. Leaning in, I close the distance between Liv and I. Capturing her lips with mine, we kiss and I pull away hoping that proved whatever point Jordan was trying to make. Looking around the room, I expect to make eye contact with a certain blue eyed brunette, but I don't.

Tori's POV
"I dare you to kiss Liv"
Did Jordan really just say that? He's not
gonna do tha-
Is this asshole leaning in? Oh my god, something please save me from living through this. As if on cue, I hear a faint knock on the door, and looking around, I can tell nobody else heard it.
"Hey Danny, I think someone knocked on the door, so I'll be back okay?" I whisper to him, hoping I'm not giving away how annoyed I am. Getting up quickly, I walk to the door, confused as to why there would be anyone here. Hearing a knock once again, I slowly open the door and am faced with my past.
"Kevin?"
Forgetting about everything, I scream and run into his arms.
"Hey Tori." He says laughing at how excited I am.
"Oh my god Kev, I missed you so much!" I saying crying into his chest.
" I missed you too Tor." He says kissing my forehead, and tightening his embrace.

Liv's POV
Oh my god. I'm so angry at Jordan right now. I can't believe he just made Joe kiss me, how could he do that? Snapping me out of my thoughts, I hear someone scream, and notice Tori isn't here anymore. Getting up to look for Tori, I run into the living room as everyone else follows.
"Tor what's th-"
As my jaw drops at the sight in front of me, I can feel a tear rolling down my cheek.
"KEVIN!" I scream, looking at my friends hugging in the doorway. Running up to Kevin and Tori, I'm so excited that I almost knock the both of them down in the process. Pulling away, Tori and I invite him in, forgetting about the other eight people in the house.

Kevin's POV
"Liv can I talk to Tori for a moment?" I ask stopping Tori from walking back into the beach house.
"Sure" She says, and I can see the confusion written all over her face. As the door shuts, I lean in and properly give Tori a hug.
"I missed you so much Tori." I say as her arms snake around my neck. Pulling away, we sit on the steps of the beach house, and she leans on me.
"I thought you hated me Kevin. Why are you here, and what happened to the girl back home?"
"I'm here because I genuinely missed you, and Grace? The entire flight home, all I could think about was you, and how I let you down. I didn't realize how much I felt for you until I was half way across the world, and you weren't with me. Every time I would hold her or kiss her all I wanted was you. All I want now is you. All I've ever wanted was you." I say waiting for her to say something.
     "Kevin, I feel for you, I always have. But it's been a long time, and things have changed. I don't know what the future holds, but regardless of how you're in my life, I still want you in it"
     "I love you Tori, and because of how strongly I feel for you, I'll wait. I'll wait for as long as you want me to. I came to spend some of the summer with you guys, I heard you were coming to the beach house and I couldn't pass it up."
    "I love you too Kevin, and this is insane. It's gonna be so fun, and to top it off, my parents rented the beach house to the New Kids on the Block so they're here." She excitedly announces.
     "Really? The actual band? That's insane" I say, praying nobody's making moves on her. After we're done talking, we both walk in, and I'm greeted by seven people I've never met before.

Joey's POV
Is this a fucking joke? What the fuck did they talk about, and why the hell is she so happy?
"Okay everyone, this is Kevin, and he's gonna be staying here for a while." Tori announces, as he's staring her up and down. Glaring in his direction, he walks up to me and tries to shake my hand.
      "I'm a germaphobe." I lie as I walk into the kitchen, and grab myself a bottle of water.

Tori's POV
Did he just say he was a germaphobe? Great, just fucking great, he kisses Liv and he's the one who gets to be jealous. Annoyed at his ignorance, I excuse myself from everyone, and I "grab a drink" from the kitchen.
    "Do you have a thing for that guy?" Joe angrily asks, and I can't help but roll my eyes.
   "What if I do? You've made it completely clear that we aren't a thing." I snap, getting fed up, I dart to my room, and slam my door.
Pissed off at how much of a dick Joe's being, I grab my notebook and read lyrics from the last time I saw Kevin.
My hearts drowning in the ocean of your eyes. But no one notices how I don't get by. Nobody sees how dizzy you make me. Some could say you make me crazy. It's hard to forget your smile. Wondering' if it's all worth while. Would you come and save me? Hoping someday maybe, that you'll call me baby.
Not even noticing that I'm crying, I decide I need to go to the bathroom, and I open my door. As I open the door, I notice a certain someone is standing there looking extremely concerned.
    "Tori? Are you okay?" He says and all I can do is grasp onto him for dear life.
   "Kevin, I don't know what to do." I say, and he does the unexpected. He kisses me, and all I can do is let myself be consumed by his familiarity. As he's kissing me, all I can think about is Joe. When I kiss Joe, I feel fireworks, my insides turn to jello and all I can do is give in. With Kevin, all I feel is the past. I don't feel anything, and in that moment, I realize that for the first time in my life, I'm completely over Kevin Adams.
    "What the fuck?" I hear a familiar voice say, and all I can do if push Kevin away. What did I just do?
