Lucky Me

*XXXII*

Chapter Thirty-Two

Thank God Thanksgiving Break was over and I could return to my nice and comfortable dorm. Ezra and I would at least get some privacy without my father in the next room or the guards watching us on the camera.

When we returned we probably made out for what seemed like an hour. He lifted me up and carried me towards his bedroom and we continued kissing. That's it, we were just kissing. I don't think it would've been appropriate to do anything else when we've just returned.

I lay in his bed, blankets covered me and his arms wrapped around me and pulled me close. He kissed my neck and I couldn't help but moan. I turned around and kissed his neck and then his chin and then his lips. We both did this until our lips were swollen and we were gasping for breath.

My phone buzzes and I groan and reach out for my phone. It's Deb.

I answer it, "hey,'' I say, sitting up,

"Hey,'' Deb giggles. "Oh my god, guess what happened between Amir and me last night?''

I shut my eyes, "please don't tell me.''

"It was our first time and it was beautiful!'' she shrieked and then much quietly she said, "I think I might be in love.''

My eyes widen, "wait, what? Are you serious? You think you might love this guy? Are you sure?'' I know I should have been bouncing up and down and be happy for my best friend but they've been together for like two months. People don't fall in love with each other that quickly, right?

"Yes, Morg. I think I am,'' she chuckled. "Oh my god, what if he doesn't love me too?''

"Deb-"

"What if I tell him and then he says he doesn't love me back?'' she was now sobbing.

"Deb it's fine, just look for the signs.''

"The signs?''

I looked over at Ezra and whispered, "what signs do boy show when they are in love?'' He cocked an eyebrow at me and I rolled my eyes, "it's for Deb, chill.'' I meant to add 'I know we're not there yet' but I didn't.

"Um, he is romantic?''

I gaped at him, "wait, you've never been in love?''

Ezra shrugged, "I just . . . I don't really know how it feels like.''

"Great, you've been of great help,'' I said sarcastically and then I went back to talking with Deb. "Um . . . wait a sec,''

I climbed out of bed and went towards Ezra's computer and went over to google. Ezra chuckled, "are you seriously going to search it up?''

I glared at him, "she's my friend, okay? I don't know what else to do.''

"Have you ever met a guy that was in love with you?''

Emilio.

"Uh, I don't know.'' I groaned, "But Google can help.''

I typed in 'How To Know If A Guy Is In Love With You'. I clicked the search button and saw that Ezra was hovering over my shoulder. I blushed and returned to work.

"Deb,'' I said while clicking on an interesting site. "Does Amir seem more distant than usual?'' I asked.

"Yeah, I mean not last night obviously, but yeah. That's why I'm worried!''

"Apparently that's a good sign,'' I tell her and she sighs and I continue asking the questions and by her answers, he seems to be in love with her. But hey, who the hell knows? "You shouldn't be worried, Deb. I'm sure you and Amir would fall in love and get married someday.''

Deb sniffed, "I'm going to talk to him tomorrow. I'm scared,''

"Don't be,'' I said. "I'm sure everything will be alright.''

"Okay, thanks. Love you,''

"Love you too,'' and then I hang up but I don't get off the site quite yet. I keep scrolling down and find the one that says 'How to Keep A Guy Interested'. I gulp and then I quickly scroll back up and get out of the site.

"I saw that,''

I cocked an eyebrow at him, "saw what? How I was helping a worried friend? Pretty selfless, I know.''

"No, how you were staring at the other link. 'How To Keep A Guy Interested.'" He said and I blushed and he laughed. He suddenly pulled me in and kissed my neck, "don't worry, I'll always be interested in you.''

I smiled, "Ditto.''

I know the chapter was cringe-worthy but you can't have a romance story without it being cringy. Please don't forget to vote and I hope you enjoyed,

XOXO,

Mae.
