Is He The One?

Chapter 7: Explanations & Memories

(Cloey on the side -->)

Cathey's P.O.V

I lay on my side as I listen to what Rixton is saying. We're in my room sitting on the floor while he tells me the whole "party situation". He began explaining how he saw me and went to come say hi, but was grabbed by Cloey, my so called "friend". When he said this, I denied every single word, nothing added up. But then I remembered something; she always looked at Rixton like he was man candy...

How dare she even try to take our man! I mean, who the heck does she think she is, Aphrodite!? My subconscious snarls.

I don't like it any more than you do, trust me. My attention soon goes back to Rix when he clears hits throat. He looks at me with apprehensive eyes and says, "Unfortunately, that's not all,"-he looks down at his hands-"She, um, she kind of said that she wants to take you down."

After he says this, I immediately shoot up and ask, "What did she mean by that?" When at first he doesn't answer, I keep asking.

Finally he replies, "Well, she did mention that she called it 'Bitch go bye-bye'." He sounded more angry than apprehensive now, and I'm pretty sure he's upset by all of this. I think it's about time I told someone about this...

I scoot closer to him and take his hands in mine. "Rixton, when Cloey and I were kids, we were in the foster system. We both wanted to be adopted, and we wanted to be adopted together, so that we wouldn't be split up." His eyes widen, but he nods in response. "We were really close friends at the time, practically sisters with the way we acted.

"Well, one day a young couple was looking to adopt, but they were only looking for one child." I looked at Rixton, and as if sensed my eyes on him he looked back at me. "Go on." He said softly. I nod and keep going.

"Okay, so at the time, Cloey was taking a nap while I played by myself. When the couple saw me, they asked for the adoption papers and told me that I was going home with them. I didn't know that they were taking just me, so I thought they were adopting Cloey as well. To say that this was life changing is an understatement; it chose our fates.

"I honestly thought that she would be over it by now, but I guess only time would tell in this situation. To this day, Cloey still blames me for that ever happening." As I finish, I fell that I have tears building up in my eyes. I hadn't even noticed I was tearing up. Rixton wipes away a stray tear with the palm of his hand and wraps an arm around my shoulders. I lean my head on his chest and relax into his broad arms. After a while of sitting like this, Rixton says, "Are you okay? And I mean, are you really?" I look up into his gorgeous eyes and reply, "Yeah, I'm fine. Not one of my best days, but I'm okay." I take a deep breath and say, "Look, I'm so sorry for acting so rude and distant this past week. I just, really didn't feel up to dealing with you after the party." My cheeks heat up as we stare into one another's eyes longer than needed, but I'm first to look away.

"It's perfectly fine. I mean, I did come off as an ass." He smiles down at me. I smirk and cuddle back into his body.

"Yep. But you are an ass, so thanks for admitting it." I say smugly. He chuckles, but then turns around and tickles me.

"Sure I am." He laughs, still ticking me mercilessly.

"AH! STOP! PLEASE! STOP!" I say in between fits of laughter. I'm laughing so hard I have tears of joy! He finally stops his tickle-tortcher and grins at me. "What?" I ask after I catch my breath.

Rixton stands up and stretches. "Oh nothing. You just have the cutest laugh ever." He looks down at me with a kind of shimmer in his eyes. I blush like crazy after his comment on my laugh. Gosh, why does he have to make me blush so much?

"Uh, thanks. You have a nice laugh too." I mumble while continuing to blush profusely.
