Vanessa

I opened the door to see Kayden's toned body leaning against the door frame. His sapphire eyes sparkled. Kayden escorted me to his car and opened my door for me. I was excited to finally be doing something.

"So, what's on the agenda today?" I asked

Kayden rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly.

"I actually didn't think that far ahead. I was just excited you agreed to hang out."

I giggled at his cuteness. For some reason, him wanting to spend time with me warmed my heart.

I pondered on what we could do for a while.

"Have you been to the new mall, yet? I heard their arcade is pretty sweet."

"No, but it sounds cool. I'm down."

Kayden and I were doubled over in laughter; this was my fourth time getting brutally shot down even with Kayden trying to protect me. I squeaked out a 'sorry' and pouted as our team lost again. This seemed to fuel his laughter. While Kayden was wiping tears from his eyes, I restarted the game. He calmed down a bit and cocked his gun; firmly locking onto the target. Before he could shoot, I swiftly aimed my gun and shot. The bullet lodged itself right in the middle of Kayden's head. Ouch. In my defense, I wasn't aiming to kill him. Well, that's what he gets for laughing at my inability to actually shoot the target. I shrugged my shoulders and started randomly shooting his now lifeless body. When I was satisfied with my work, I smiled and glanced up at him innocently. Kayden gaped at me; his eyes narrowed.

"I can't believe you just shot me on purpose!"

"Who said it was on purpose?" I asked sweetly

"You shot me at least ten times!; there is no way that was an accident! How come your aim is almost perfect when I'm the one you're shooting at?!"

I burst into a fit of giggles earning me a glare from Kayden. Once Kayden grew tired of getting shot at, we decided to play air hockey.

Kayden smirked "Ready to get your butt beat?"

I smirked back at him. What he didn't know was my mom and I were extremely competitive; we played air hockey whenever we wanted to settle the score.

"Woohoo!" I cheered

I had won twelve to zero.

"You cheated!" Kayden pointed a finger at me accusingly

I laughed.

"It's called skill, Kayden," I said smugly.

Kayden pouted, and I laughed again. My laughter faded as the urge to kiss him struck me. I shook my head. Down girl. You just got out of a relationship, and you already have something going with Dylan. No need to get into anything messy. Kayden pulled up into my driveway.

"Thanks for saving me from boredom. I had fun tonight." I smiled and thanked Kayden.

He chuckled.

"If you ever need me to save you from the perils of boredom I'll come running to your rescue."

I kissed Kayden's cheek and made my way to my door, waving as he backed out. I flopped onto my bed and thought about tonight. I didn't understand. Being with Kayden felt so right, but something was missing. It was Dylan. I felt the exact same way with Dylan and even though Kayden just walked into my life recently; I felt like I needed them both in my life, no matter what. I gave up on thinking about what that could possibly mean for the boys and I and drifted off into sleep.
