Best friends with benefits

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

Kacie's POV

I open my door, and go in my house

K: "hello? anybody home?"

I yell out

It was silent. Of course no ones home like usual. I guess they went out or something

I go upstairs and into my room.

I look over to my window. I cry again. Damn it I just stopped crying why am I crying again. I close the blinds and lay in my bed.

I lay on my back and stare at the ceiling

Fuck why do I have to like him. I really don't want to.

I turn to my side, and looked at my desk. There's a picture of me and him. Everywhere I go he's there and I don't want to see him right now.

I get and put all the pictures in my closet.

I lay in my bed and cry myself to sleep.

*next day*

I wake up to a knocking at my door

Mom: "hey honey, how are you feeling?"
K: "good I guess"

I sit up in crisscross applesauce

Mom: "why is it so dark?"

She gets up, goes to the window, and opens the blinds

K: "wait mom don't do tha-"

The light comes in and almost blinds me

Mom: "now get up"
K: "were are we going, it's the weekend"
Mom: "we're going to breakfast"
K: "with who?"
Mom: "just wear something nice"
K: "ok?"

I say confused

I get up, and go to my closet. I look at the clothes that are hang there with hangers. Nothings really speaking to me, but only this cute leather jacket. I styled it with ripped black jeans, and a cute lace white top with black open toed heals.

Mom: "honey we're going to be late!"
K: "coming mom"

I go to the bathroom, curl my hair quickly as possible.

I head downstairs

K: "k mom, ready to go"
Mom: "yea they're going to meet us there"
K: "k"

We get into the car and start driving

K: "hey mom, where are we going to eat"
Mom: "oh, we're going to Mels"
K: "with who"
Mom: "you'll see"
K: "ok?"

I say confused

We arrive at Mels, I open my car door, and close it shut while my mom does the same. My mom locks the car, and we go in. My mom analyzes the seats of people that are in them, and finally found the people she was looking for.

Mom: "come on honey"

I follow her footsteps, and seen a booth with two people, and mostly the person I don't want to see.

K: "you got to be shitting me!"
Mom: "language?!"
K: "sorry mom"

She sits right next to grays mom while I sit next to gray.

G: "you look good"
K: "thanks"

I say rudely with a fake smile

Mom: "honey why are you being rude to Grayson?"
K: "it's nothing"

I say rudely

Mom: "then if it's nothing get it together"

She says in a stern voice

I open the menu to see what I want, and can feel gray look at me.

K: "what do you want"

I say whispering

G: "you just look good with that jacket"
K: "thanks?"

I roll my eyes

He just gets me so confused when he says things like that

K: "hey, can I talk to you outside"
G: "yea sure"
K: "hey will be right back"
Mom: "ok, what do you guys want"
K: "just give us the usual"
Mom: "no problem"

We head outside on a porch

G: "what do you want to talk about"
K: "do you have an answer for me"
G: "I do"
K: "and what is it?"
G: "I pick katana"
K: "then you need to stop flirting with me"
G: "I'm not"
K: "yes you are, and I can't have you playing with me"
G: "I'm sorry, I just don't want to lose you"
K: "you already did"

I walk away

G: "wait, can we just talk about this a little more"

He grabs my wrist

K: "no"

I yank my wrist out of his hand

G: "please"

He says desperate

K: "fine"

I come closer to him

K: "what"
G: "I'm sorry"
K: "sure you are"
G: "I am"
K: "are you happy with her?"
G: "I...I am"
K: "for a second I thought you liked me too, but thats probably just in movies"

I walk away

G: "look. I did like you"

I come back to him

K: "what stoped you"
G: "it wasn't fair to her"
K: "but she probably slept with the whole school right?"
G: "no she doesn't"
K: "if you're still going to love her, then I need a break from you"
G: "don't do that"
K: "I have to"
G: "why"
K: "cause every time I see you all I want to do is call you mine"

He was in shock

G: "I'm sorry"
K: "no I'm the one that's sorry, thinking it'll happen"

I walk away, but with no tears. It kind of feels good to have a break. I know he probably doesn't mean playing with my feelings, but I just can't stand him right now.

I go to the booth, and seen are food was on the table

Mom: "hey honey, right on time I was about to text you"
G's mom: "where's gray"
K: "oh, he might be outside still"
G's mom: "oh ok"

Gray comes back, and see he was crying

G's mom: "hey honey"
G: "hey"

He says gloomy

G's mom: "are you alright"
G: "yea"

He starts to eat

I just look at him, I did this. He really doesn't want to lose me.

G: "are you going to eat, or are you just going to look at me?"
K: "sorry"
G's mom: "so what college are you going to Kacie?"
K: "I want to go to UCLA"
G's mom: "wow, that's a really cute college, I went there"
K: "I know"

We laugh

Mom: "and for you"
G: "Harvard"
K: "wait really?"

we live in LA so my college isn't that far, but Harvard is

G: "yea"

He looks at me

Mom: "did you guys sign up already?"
K: "yea, I did"
G: "same here"
G's mom: "do you know when you get the letters"
K: "I think this week for me"
G: "yea same here"

We finish our dinner, and start to head home
