Falling || PhaYo

"Just watching something funny."

PHA POV

    YoU cAn StAy? Why did I even suggest that?

    I groaned and rolled over to my other side. It had been six hours since he left and I still wasn’t asleep. How could I sleep? Yo was here and we were talking about ourselves. I got to know him a lot more. This was not helping me, in any way, to get over this feeling. Whatever it was. In fact, it made me want to know more about him.

    And why did my mind and mouth and body all have to be controlled by different things? Pretending to be his boyfriend? But I wanted to stay away from him? God, it was like I had multiple personality disorder.

    I really needed sleep. I closed my eyes shut and buried myself deep in the covers. I was going to go to sleep.

    I never went to sleep. Now I was sitting in class and felt like crap because I hadn’t slept a wink. It was all because of that evil, cute, devil named Yo. Why couldn’t I forget him? I just stayed up all night replaying our kisses in my head. It felt like I was going crazy.

    “Hey, have you talked to him?” Lemon asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

    “Talk to who?” I questioned. She sighed deeply.

    “Yo, of course.” There was his name again.

    “I did.” I said. This caused a wide smile to appear on her face.

    “Tell me everything you know.” She said. I sighed deeply and sat back in my seat.

    “He likes sushi and reading Manga.” I said. She nodded and continued to smile at me. “That’s all I know.” I lied. Her smile dropped. I shrugged. Was it bad that I didn’t want to tell her?

    “Can you find out more?” She questioned. I nodded.

    “We are hanging out tomorrow.” I lied. I hadn’t actually talked to him about it.

    “Great. You can figure out more to tell me. Just message me like Wednesday or something.” She said before running to her seat as the teacher walked in. I sighed and laid my head down on my desk groaning. This was going to be a long day.

    For the rest of the day, I had put off talking to Yo. I didn’t know what to say. But as soon as school got out I messaged him. I had to.

PHA: Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow.

    He texted back almost immediately.

   

YO: I thought we were only going to hang out once a week. We hung out last night.

PHA: I know. She was just asking me a bunch of questions and I told her we were hanging out tomorrow.

   

    I know that it was technically a lie. I kind of just wanted to hang out with him.

YO: Oh, okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.

    I smiled as I put my phone away and made my way to the parking lot to go home. As I exited the building I saw Yo. He was standing by a white car looking at his phone smiling. I walked towards him.

    “Why are you smiling?” I asked. He looked up at me startled. He rushed to put his phone in his pocket before standing up straight.

    “Just watching something funny.” He said. I nodded and smiled at him.

    “What are you doing here?” I questioned.

    “Ming dragged me here so he can see Kit.” He said. I nodded again.

    “Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said. He nodded and smiled at me.

    “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said. We said our goodbyes and I took my leave.

    How come he had to be cute?

    When I arrived back at the dorm I saw none other than Ricky standing there, in front of the door. I got out of the car and waved to him.

    “Ricky, right?” I asked. He smiled at me and nodded.

    “Yo’s boyfriend?” He asked. I nodded.

    “What are you doing here?” I questioned.

    “I’m moving into this dorm. What are you doing here?” He asked.

    “I live here too.” I told him. He nodded and looked to the side like he was looking for someone.

    “Where’s Yo?” He asked. So that’s who he was looking for.

    “Not here. Why?” I question. This kid really couldn’t take a hint, could he?

    “He told me he was seeing you today.” He said. Of course he did. This was just perfect.

As if fate would have it. Ming’s car pulled into the parking lot and out hopped Yo. He waved to Ming, and probably Kit, as the car backed out of the spot. When he turned around he stopped dead in his tracks.

“Ricky, what are you doing here?” He questioned. Ricky smiled wide at him.

“Hey, Yo. I’m moving in. I didn’t know your boyfriend lived here.” He said gesturing to me.

Something about the tone of his voice told me that was a lie. Yo smiled and nodded, walking over to me.

    “Yeah.” He said wrapping his arms around my waist. My heart began to pound, and I had to tell myself that it was all part of the deal. “And I told you I was gonna see him today.” Ricky nodded.

    “Yeah.”

    “Well, I would love to say and chit chat, but, unfortunately, we can’t. I promised Yo that I would cook dinner for him tonight, then I would make him a bubble bath. Maybe another time.” I said smiling wide at Ricky and then down at Yo who just nodded with a smile on his face. Ricky nodded, smiling.

    “How about this Friday? There is a party that I was invited to. Why don’t we all go together?” Ricky asked. The party? Lemon’s party? “Isn’t the girl throwing it a friend of yours? I’ve heard that you were, I mean.” Ricky asked. “I just assumed that you would go and bring your boyfriend.”

    “Of course I am going. And what kind of boyfriend be if I didn’t bring my boyfriend?” I asked. I looked down at Yo and squeezed his shoulder slightly. He nodded.

    “Of course I am going.” He said. Ricky nodded and smiled at us both.

    “Wonderful. We can all go together.” He said. We both nodded. “Do you live here to Yo?” He asked. Yo looked up at me and I shook my head.

    “No, he is just staying with me.” I said. I could tell by the look on Yo’s face that he didn’t want Ricky to know that he lived here too. “We have to go now. We’ll see you later.” I said taking Yo’s backpack and pulling him inside along with me.

    I pulled Yo up to his room where we both rushed inside the room and busted out laughing.

    “That was great. Did you see the look on his face when you mentioned the cooking and bath?” Yo asked. We fell back on the bed laughing.

    “Bro, he was so jealous.” I said. As Yo continued laughing I turned my head to look at him. His smile was angelic. It was beautiful. And at that moment I knew. I knew that there was no possible way in this entire world that I was going to be able to stop myself from falling madly and deeply in love with the boy laying on the bed beside me.
