See You Again - A Choni Story

Chapter 24

Toni's POV

"Are you okay with it?" Cheryl asked, facing Heather.

"Yeah. I'm cool with it." Heather answered her, taking a deep breath.

"You sure?" Cheryl checked.

"Positive." I watched as Cheryl moved closer to Heather, before they both began leaning in and their eyes closed. Their lips connected and even though it was a dare and it might not have meant anything, my heart sank to my stomach. It felt like forever but they finally pulled apart. I knew that they were probably going to end up going on a date, but this made the jealousy worse, and I knew I would never get a chance.

Seeing them kiss took me back to when Cheryl kissed me on the day she left. Does she still remember? I certainly haven't forgot. Ever since we were reunited, I thought about discussing it with her, but I always backed out. I didn't want her to think I had been obsessing over it for years, even though I sort of had...just a little.

"Easy." Cheryl commented. I liked Heather, but I must admit that I was jealous of her in this moment. "Looks like I'm doing the next one." Cheryl paused. "TT...truth or dare?"

"Truth." I was partially scared. What is going to ask me?

Cheryl's POV

It was my chance. I could see if she had feelings for me. I had to ask her in a subtle way. I didn't want it to be obvious.

"I'll also start with a basic one...do you have a crush on someone at the moment? And if you do, then who?"

"Yes I do have a crush and I refuse to tell you her name."

"So it's a her?" I answered and watched as Toni slapped herself. Maybe there was a chance that she liked me, a very small one, but a chance none the less. Or maybe I'm relying on hope too much. Why would a girl like Toni ever like somebody as pathetic as me?

"Whatever. Just move on to the next person." Toni's cheeks went a slight red colour. It was adorable. She was adorable.

Toni's POV

Thankfully I didn't accidentally say her name. I would have died of embarrassment if I did. It's not like she would say that she liked me back...only in my dreams. We played more truth or dare, asking some more intersting questions. We watched a couple films then got into bed. I was next to Cheryl and on the other side of her was Heather.

I wasn't able to get to sleep. I then heard a quiet voice behind me.

"TT, are you awake?" Cheryl asked. I turned over to face her. We were inches apart. I could practically feel her breath on my skin. Our lips were inches apart. How I wish I could press my lips against hers in this moment.

"I can't sleep."

"Me either." She stopped for a minute. "Pretty intense game of truth or dare earlier though. I'm still dying to know who your crush is." Cheryl whispered.

"And I'm never gonna tell you who she is." I kept my voice at a low volume.

"Oh can you at least tell me what she's like? Just a brief description? Please?" Cheryl asked quietly.

"Fine...but nothing that'll give away her identity." You've got this, Toni. No details. "So she's smart, funny, crazy talented in literally everything she does and the most beautiful human I've ever met. I couldn't imagine my life without her...she's just...sensational."

"Sounds like some special girl."

"I mean...yeah...she is to me. But I don't think she sees me like that, sadly." I frowned and looked at Cheryl.
