Monday Afternoon

Felix's Pov:

"Ok. Food? Check. Music?" I started to say as I rushed around downstairs.

"Check," Olivia responded calmly. "Can you please relax? You're starting to stress Mom and me out,"

"I'm sorry. I just want to this perfect,"

"We understand, just try to calm down,"

Ding dong.

"Felix, you can get the door?" Oliva requested.

"Got it!" I said, anxiously approaching the door. I opened it to reveal Zoey, the proverbial woman of the hour. She was dressed casually: black ripped jeans hugged her legs, a gray hoodie fit loosely over her torso, and black high-top Converse finished the look. It should be illegal for someone to look that good with little to no effort.

"Hey, Zoe!" I said while I greeted her with a hug. Suddenly painfully aware of my own appearance, I chuckled nervously, "Sorry I look like a mess... it's the best I could do."

"What are you talking about? You look great!"

"Thank you. I really appreciate it," I flashed a smile and asked cautiously. "Can we talk?"

"Yeah, Sure... Uh, what do you wanna talk about?" She said, playing with her fingers

I scratched the back of my head. "Um. Not here. Let's go upstairs to my room. No one's up there,"

"Okay,"

I held her hand and dragged me upstairs to the doors that are separating my room and the hallway. I opened the door and walked into the room.

She closed the door and leaned behind the door.

"Please, sit down,"

She nodded her head.

"Okay, so what did you want to ask me?"  She asked sitting on my bed.

I started pacing back and forth. After I calmed down a little bit, I sat next to her and smiled while looking down. "U-um, h-hey," I stuttered.

She laughed. "Hi,"

"I wanted to get this out of my chest. But I don't know how to... "

Zoey's Pov:

What is going on? What is he trying to say? My heart skipped a beat.

I looked over at him worriedly, "Everything is fine. You can tell me anything,"  I patted a part of the mattress, signaling him to sit right next to me.

He sat down next to me, looked at me, and sighed. "Uh... So... When we first..." He started to say.

Knock knock.

Felix's mother opened the door. "Oh, there you guys are. Olivia needs more help, could you guys come down?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lee. We'll head down right now," I said, standing up and walking back downstairs.

"Zoe!" I hear Olivia say.

"Liv! What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing really."

"Cool. We're to help. What do you need us to do?"

She grabbed a couple of bowls and handed them to us. "Can you guys help me put the bowls on the table?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Felix and I took the bowls from Olivia and began placing them around the table.

"I believe that's it! I'll be upstairs if you need me." Olivia said once we finished.
