Destiny

Chapter 7

*Time Skip*

So it has been a few weeks since I met Xander. We have been hanging out quite a bit. Everyday he comes over and we sit and talk for a while. Then, on some days we go to this place with other Hybrids where we "train". At least that's what they call it. We are the youngest Hybrids there. Everyone else already has their powers. So far they are just telling us everything we need to know. We haven't really started "training" yet.

Yesterday Xander and I had a talk about what Sam told me. About how we are "destined to be together" we were both agreeing on the fact that we don't see that happening, and that it is all bull shit. But that's not exactly how I feel. I am starting to really like him. Just everything about him. The way he talks to me. How he acts around me. The fact that every time he gets ready to leave he hugs me, and it's not a quick hug either. I can tell he feels something he just won't admit it.

Well, anyway, he should be here soon. Today is just going to be one of those days where we just get to hang out. We don't have "training" today. Suddenly, I hear Sam call my name, and I am pretty sure I know why. I walk down stairs and see Xander standing there waiting for me. Cute as always.

"Hey!" I say joyfully as a walk towards him. "I was thinking, maybe today we could just hang here for a while."

"Umm. Okay." He replies. His face gets a little red. Honestly it is adorable as fuck. I smile at him and start to walk upstairs to my room. Normally if I was back home I would get the "Door stays open" even though the only guys I ever had over was my cousins, but as we walk upstairs Sam just says to be good, and snickers.

"So what do you want to do?" I ask him hoping his answer isn't "I don't know" or "I don't care" because I hate having to pick.

"Umm. Well we can play a game if you would like." He gives me a half smile and I feel my face get red. He is so damn cute I just can't help it.

"Board game? Or something else?" I moved slightly closer to him, without really noticing that I did it.

"Hmm. What about Never Have I Ever?" Oh god... Nothing good ever comes from this game.

"Sure." Yet I go against my better judgment and say yes anyway, again. Must be something about him because it seems like I'm always doing the opposite of what I think I should do. We start out with stupid questions like going to amusement parks, getting in a fist fight, and leaving the country. I have done 1 of those. But I was in middle school and it was because someone started talking shit about my cousin and calling her names. That fight was the most human interaction I have had my whole life. Finally, we decide that this game doesn't seem to be going anywhere. "Hey what about playing 2 truths 1 lie?"

"Okay you go first" damn it I hate going first. But I begin thinking of my truths and lies anyway.

"Umm okay. 1 I have never been in a relationship. 2 I like someone that I was told I am supposed to be with. 3 I had my first kiss in 5th grade."

"Hmm. Well judging that you weren't the best at making friends I am guessing the first one is true."

"Okay." Well he isn't wrong there.

"I think number 2 is the lie." Oh wow... now he is wrong...

"Actually, number three was the lie." I can feel my face get red a

look away. I feel him move closer.

"Wait. Does that mean you like me?" and he is right again...

"Umm." I still don't look at him and I feel like my face probably looks like a damn tomato.

"Jordan?" suddenly his hand is on mine. "I like you too." Oh! I look back up at him slightly smiling.

"Really?" I ask sounding like a little kid. "I don't know... it's hard for me to believe that... I'm sorry. It's just look at me. There really isn't much to like." I say as I look back down at my lap. Then out of nowhere he grabs my face and pulls me into a kiss.
