Crushing

I tied my shoes and walked out with Alejandro, we didn't really speak. I walked speedily in front of him so I could get out the door first and felt him gently place his hands on my waist as we walked out so we wouldn't bump into each other, my stomach got tight as he did so.

If I'm being totally honest, I've been crushing on him for a while now, since like before I knew him. And it's hard not to, he's the closest thing to perfect I've ever seen, but Robert says he's a player. But I mean, I'm willing to get played. Oh the things I would do to that boy if he'd let me, and the things I'd want him to do to me, trust me I'd let him.

Anyways, enough of that, the guys all piled into the car. Roshaun and Alvaro stuffed in the front seat next to Kairi and Robert was in between Mattia and Alejandro, I sat on the floor in between Mattia's legs and laid my head in his lap. He dangled his hands around my neck as he stared out the window. I noticed Ale started taking pictures of the 4 of us and posted them on his story, that made me wonder if my Cali friends were gonna react.

I was in the middle of a conversation with Rob when Janessa started calling me again, I answered annoyed.
You: Hello?
Janessa: Heyyyyy.
You: Yes?
Janessa: Are you with that cutie Ma-
You: Yes, why?
Janessa: Add me on his phone pleaseeeeee!
You: Why?
Janessa: So he could fall for me Dude, I'm literally feining for him.

I turned to face Mattia and covered the bottom speaker with my hand, he shot me a small smile as I looked up at him.
You: She wants you to add her, say no.
He shook his head as he chuckled a tiny bit.
You: Sorry Nessa, he said no.
Janessa: Can I talk to him please?
You: No, you can't.
I could tell she was getting mad.
Janessa: Give him the phone.

I didn't wanna talk to her anymore, so I made it seem like we went in a tunnel and lost signal. That girl is so damn annoying, she needs to learn how to take a hint.

I laid my head all the way back in Mattia's lap and made eye contact with him, there was that little half smile again, enough to make a girl melt... We stayed like that for a while until he looked up.

Mattia: Where are we even going?
Kai: I honestly have no idea. What do we all want?
We all sorta just thought in silence until Alvaro recommended McDonald's since it was close and easy. So we drove through and got two 20 piece nuggets to share before heading back to the house, this car ride was somewhat pointless, but it was nice to get out of that house at least for a few minutes.

We walked into the house and immediately walked to the room I'd be staying in, we ate and talked for hours, it was nice to finally be able to catch up with my friends.
Rob: Do you miss Cali yet?
You: A little, but not really.
Kai: Who were you on the phone with in the car?
You: This girl named Janessa, she's like in love with Mattia.
They all scoffed and looked at Mattia who was on his phone.
Ale: Is she cute tho?
I somewhat rolled my eyes.
You: She's your stereotypical Cali girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, literally hourglass figure, she's easy tho. Ask any dude at my old school and they'll tell you they fucked her.
Rob: That's gross.
You: I know.
Roshaun: What if she moved out here?
You: Ong I'd cry.

They giggled a tiny bit.
Kai: Ok wait, follow up question, are you going to school for the rest of the year here?
You: Yeah, but for the rest of this semester, I going to have to shadow at least 1 day.
Mattia: You get to shadow? That's cool, there's a ton of people who would literally love to meet you.
I smiled at just the thought of people wanting to meet me, wild.
You: I'll shadow, but only for a day.
Rob: Make it a week, it's a block schedule so there's different classes everyday.
You: Ugh fine, y'all lucky I love you guys.

They all smiled at me and only stayed for an hour more before they left, I hugged Kairi and Ale before they walked out.
You: It was so nice seeing you guys, I'll see you tomorrow right?
Kai: Ofc!
Ale: Yeah Fs.

As they walked away from me, Mattia slowly approached. He pulled me into a tight hug, I hugged him back just as tight.
You: Please be careful on your way home, it was so nice seeing you today and I'll see you tomorrow.
Mattia: It's been great being able to spend time with you, I'll see you tomorrow.
He let go and walked to Kairi's car, he got in as I closed the front door.
