Stuck with him

Chapter 9

"ALMOST"

Ariel's POV:

Okay.....so what is happening right now is.....Joey is on top of me. We both are soaking wet. Because of the crazy water balloon fight we just had. And let me tell you, my heart is about to pop out of my chest. I just kept looking at him unable to move, unable to speak, unable to even breathe. His face was so freaking close to me. He just kept staring at me. A little droplet from his wet hair dropped on my face sending a lightening bolt through me and making me shut my eyes and when i opened them again, his lips were inches apart from mine. I just stayed still. I couldn't move. Why am I paralyzed? While internally there's a battle going on in my head, well not just in my head, my whole body. There are tingles in my whole body because of how close we are. One part of me is screaming, KISS!! KISS!!! KISS!! KISS THE BEAUTIFUL BOY ALREADY IDIOT! That part....is the insane part of my mind. While the sane part is screaming, NO!!! THIS IS WRONG!!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! YOU ARE GONNA RUIN THIS FOR EVERYONE AND MAKE EVERYTHING SUPER AWKWARD!!! DONT DO IT! While all the chaos in my mind were driving me crazy, everything just faded away in an instant. The instant his lips barely, just barely brushed against mine..............but that ended way too soon. Before we could even.....just a little....ugh. Damn it! I wanted him to kiss me. His phone. His damn phone started ringing and we both instantly looked in the direction of the phone. He looked back at me....aaaaaaand the awkwardness will begin from here. I gulped and looked here and there and everywhere but at him. The awkward turtle that i am. Of course. Dude get off of me already if you are not going to kiss me. And its like he heard me or something. He got off of me. I sighed when he went to pick up his phone. I got up too and stood there awkwardly. What the hell just happened?! Was Joey freaking Mercado, the hottest guy i know......going to kiss me? Me? An awkward potato. A peasant! Woah woah woah. Maybe i just imagined all of that. Maybe it was like nothing. Well it obviously was nothing for him at least. I mean. He is Joey! He has girls all around him, all the time. Perfect girls. He wouldn't give a damn about a nobody like me. What the heck am i even thinking. I shook my head. Snap. Out. Of. It.

"Hey man! What's up!" Joey said picking up the call.

"Dude what is up with you? Is it raining over their at your house?" It was David. They were FaceTiming. He laughed.

"No we were just messing around. A water balloon fight to be exact." He smiled at him and then looked at me and smiled. Which reminds me. I smirked and looked at the balloon that he dropped earlier. When he wasn't looking, I picked it up and tip toed slowly towards him, while he was still talking. When i reached him, I giggled and smashed it on his head and laughed. He looked pissed.

"I WON!!!!! Wuhoooooooo!!!" I cheered and started some weird dancing. He glared at me for a moment but then looked at me weird dancing and started laughing.

"Is that Ariel?" David asked and i peeked at Joey's phone screen and waved at David. He was shirtless. Oh. Joey handed me the phone and went to get towels.

"Hey David!" I smiled at him.

"Hey! Just one question! Why the heck am
I not invited to this water balloon madness? I like water balloons and fights." He made a pouty face and I chuckled.

"We don't like you." I teased and he gasped.

"How can someone dislike this piece of art?" He said motioning towards his abs. I dramatically covered my eyes with my hands.

"Ahh MY EYES!!!" I screamed and we both laughed.

"By the way, the wet look....." He trailed off wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.
