"sienna i like you. i don't want to just hook up with you anymore i wanna be able to take you out and show you off and actually kiss you in front of people without feeling guilty. i wanna call you mine, sienna but i'm so fucking scared that i'm gonna hurt you. i cant hurt you." mar explains.

i give him a blank stare, not knowing how to respond. what did he think he was gonna get out of this? of course i like him too but he has a girlfriend- or whatever the hell they are.

"mar-"

"i know, i have katie, i'm an asshole, i can't stay committed. but i can't stay away from you, sienna."

i sigh, shaking my head.

"break up with katie then talk to me." i say, getting out the car and going back to the backyard to everyone. katie gives me glare but i ignore it, not wanting to deal with her.

i sit next to samy and lay my head on his shoulder.

"i'm sorry about mar. he just got jealous, of course." samy nods and kisses the top of my head gently. i smile as he wraps an arm around my side.

i go back out to the backyard to see samy and sienna being all close. i take a deep breath and go over to katie.

"can we talk?" i ask, looking down at her. she nods and we go inside to the kitchen.

"i just- i cant do this anymore. at first it was nice but i guess i just lost feelings. and i'd say we could stay friends but i know you'd just be all over me and i can't handle that anymore. we're done." before she could respond, i go out to the backyard again and grab sienna's hand pulling her up from her seat.

before she could ask what i was doing or even back away from me, i kiss her. not one of those lustful kisses but just a soft, gentle kiss.

it lasted for a minute or two, earning oohs from everyone around us. when we pulled away i expected sienna to be smiling, but instead she looked sad. what's her problem lately?
