3. In-Between

Enjoy another update and it's longer! :)

————————— 

The holidays and month off between semesters go by quicker than we ever want them to go. I find myself loving every second I spend with Xavier. All my friends really like him. They're not just being polite, which is a plus. Kyle sometimes seems to worry about me that things might be going too quick, but I don't think they are. He just worries, but he's happy to see me happy. I love him for that.

"Hey, so what movies do you want to watch or what do you want to watch?" Kyle asks as he puts the popcorn into the microwave.

"How about we watch a marathon of disney movies?"

"We're like the only ones who are our age who watch Disney movies."

"Our age doesn't define what we watch and I love the movies and besides when you look at them you look at them with a different perspective."

"I know. Which one should we watch first?"

"Let's start with Mulan, some in between, and end with Lion King."

"Sounds good; find it will you? I'll finish getting the snacks. Hmm, did you want soda? I didn't buy any. All I have are water, caprisun, lemonade, tea, coffee, and milk."

"We are not drinking coffee or milk. Caprisun, lemonade, and water will be fine."

"Okay, but if you want soda I could always go buy some downstairs."

"No, I'm fine."

"Okay, all set then."

"By the way, where did crazy Oriel run off to?" I ask.

"I think he's with Maylee and Evelin. He said something about he hanging out with his best friends, since we are hanging out tonight."

"I don't know how Maylee can handle both of them together." 

"They grew up together that's probably how."

"True, so any love interests?"

"No." Kyle responds something flashes in his face, but it's too quick for me to decipher what it is.

"How are you and Xavier doing?"

"We're doing great. I really like him...I think I love him." I respond quieter towards the end.

"You love him?" He ask in soft tone.

"I think so. He's kind and attentive."

"As long as he reciprocates the feelings, then you have nothing to worry about and I'm happy for you. I'm happy Chubby, you let someone else in." He says giving me a hug.

"Thank you, Ky. It means a lot and also because you seem to get along with him."

"Yes, he seems like a good guy and as long as he doesn't hurt you I will."

"He is. I want to see you in a relationship too, Ky."

"When I meet the right person." He responds.

"Yes, so are you still staying in the area after graduation?"

"Yes, I am. Would you want to live together after graduation? We would save money."

"Yes, I would love too." I respond; that's something I have been meaning to ask him. 

"I'm happy I will still have you close."

"Yup, me too."

"Do you know what everyone else is doing yet?"
