More than friends?

Chapter 7

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Joey sat up and gave me the most disappointed look ever... I had just told him that Becca and I just had sex earlier that day when he told me a week ago not to do that. I feel really bad, but I had to tell him. We tell each other everything and I know he wants to kill me but I am just glad I told him. 

"I know and I am sorry... It just happened, but it didn't feel right... It was more lustful than with love like how it used to be. I am really upset that it happened, but I think it had to happen to know that this isn't meant to be. Like I know for sure that I am not meant for her and that she is not meant for me. I am going to tell her that this isn't working out though once we drift away some. I would like to at least stay friends. We have worked really hard to become friends." I said while I looked down at my coffee and then my phone lit up and it was Yami. My heart fluttered when I had seen that he text me a few times. 

I look at Joey and he looks over to my phone and smirks at me. He had seen that Yami had texted me. "So... Yami?" He looked at me with a devious smile and I couldn't help but blush when he had said his name to me.  "Haha well umm... well I'm not sure... We are getting coffee after his shift on Saturday." I looked away and then Joey started to say, "You do know he works a 10 hour shift? He is willing to work all day and then meet up with you for coffee. He is obviously into you my friend. I know he seems like a player, but he does give you a lot of attention. I think he is wanting something with you in time." I looked at Joey and I just shrugged. 

"Uh I'm not sure if I am his type. I am so awkward and I wouldn't know what to do if we ended up being in a relationship. He just seems too good for me. Like have you seen me compared to him? He's very attractive and then there's me. I am just average." I sighed when I had just realized what I had said. He would never be into someone like me. He deserves someone way better than me and I am also sure he's the 'sexual type' and I have only been with Rebecca... So yeah I am not the best for him. I am nothing more than just an average 23 year old guy. Nothing special. 

He's 20 and he was in my position when he was 19 and at his old store, he's in college and he just seems like a very confident person. Which is something I lack. What am I thinking about getting my hopes up and starting to like him. I bet he hasn't even thought about me in that way... "Hey Yuge, I'm sure he sees more than you think he does. There is a reason why he texts you, makes a way to talk to you at work and he did make plans with you. That sounds like someone who can be interested once you guys get to know one another and hang out more." He smiles at me and I smile back. I just know he's too good for me...

*later that night after getting coffee*

I lay in bed thinking about everything that Joey and I had talked about after work. I then realized that I hadn't looked at my phone. I had a few texts from Becca and some from Yami. I read Becca's first and of course I ignored them. I decided that I would just text her back tomorrow morning sometime. I then go to Yami's text and smile slightly.

'Hey it was nice working with you tonight(:'

'I hope you and Joey had a good time getting coffee, can't wait till it's our turn on Saturday!'

'Hey mister, I would love to talk to you before we head to bed. I don't have classes tomorrow morning, so we can text a little longer tonight(;'

I just smile and of course I text him back.

'Hey sorry, just got home from getting coffee with Joey. We had a good time catching up, and I had a great time working with you tonight as well. I also can't wait to get coffee with you either(:'

He then replied back, 'Well I am glad you both had a great time. I am super excited to have you all to myself on Saturday. I hope you don't have a curfew because I would love to spend a good amount of the night with you since I do work all day. I am going to try and get the same day off as you so we can hang out when you're off so we can actually enjoy a good amount of time together.'

I just smiled ear to ear when I read that message from him. Maybe he is wanting to actually get to know me. I got this weird feeling in my stomach that I haven't felt in a long time. I seriously couldn't stop smiling after that. 

Yami and I ended up messaging each other until a little after 3AM. We had some really good conversations and we were bonding. It was really nice. I went to bed smiling ear to ear that night. I really think I could fall for this guy in time. I just hope I am good enough for him... Why am I acting like this? I am 23 years old and this guy is making me feel like I'm the younger one and he's the older one. I have never met anyone who's made me this nervous before. Like this is different...

I rolled over to my side to see my phone light up and I knew it wasn't Yami since we had just told each other goodnight. I then looked at my phone and it was Becca... She was calling me. Stupid me answered.

I tried to sound very groggy like I had just woken up but of course I had been up and was still sorta wide awake.

I faked yawned, "Uh helloo..?"

"Yugi. I know you worked, cool, but I do know you are able to have your phone on you. I also know you did have a break, and I do know that you get off between 11:15 and 11:30 at work. I know you were able to text or call me at any point during the evening, but you have just been ignoring me. I also know you were not asleep, I had seen you on your phone maybe an hour ago. You were smiling ear to ear messaging someone and I know it was not me at all." I got wide eyed and was in disbelief she came to my house at this time of night watching me!

"Sorry but excuse me? You came to my house unannounced and watched me?" I then raised my voice at her. This was not cool at all. She was being a psycho. I can't deal with this anymore.

"Yugi is that all you heard?!" She yelled at me. You know what I did at that moment? I hung up the phone and turned it off.

She's freakin' psycho.
