Kenzie
Ok, calm down. Breath, just breath! You can’t have a panic attack right now, you don’t want to worry Trip. Oh, boy, Trip… He was so close I could practically taste him as he leaned into me.
What is he trying to do? Give me a heart attack? I guess I deserve that after almost giving him one earlier with my suggestive talk. What am I supposed to do with him? Kiss him already and get it over with.
Yeah sure, easy for you to say. Ok, you’re talking to yourself now. I shake my head and walk out of the bathroom. I look at my phone and find Ashton’s number hitting the call button when I do.
“Hey, Kenz!” she answers with an excited voice
“Hey, Ash! What are you up to?” I say back just as excited to hear from her too
“Oh, you know, I just left work and fixing to go to Todd's.” she says like it’s an everyday thing
“Todd, huh? How are things going with him?” I ask her realizing I hadn’t til now
“Oh my goodness” I hear her sigh in content “Well first of all I adore that he has the same blue green eyes as me. He wants to talk about me so much I have to remind him I want to get to know him too, he holds doors open for me, texts me every morning and every night.” she sighs again at the memories they’ve shared the last two weeks.
“But hey, enough about me! How are YOU doing? I can’t believe you were in the hospital.” she says in disbelief
“Oh I know, I couldn’t believe it myself when I woke up there. I felt so bad for ruining mine and Trip’s date. Our first official date and I mess everything up with my stupid anxiety.”
I run a hand through my hair and kind of pull it when I get to the ends.
“Oh honey, don’t do that to yourself. I’m sure he knows you couldn’t help it. I’m also more than sure you can make it up to him. Find out something he likes and if you need my help let me know. Maybe you can try to plan another date soon to make up for it.” She tells me, giving me hope.
“Your right, I always beat myself up for no reason. Ok, girl I’ll let you get back to your own Romeo! Thanks for checking on me, love you, later!” I say to her quickly
“Always! Love you sis, bye!” and then she hangs up.
Ok, so everything is fine. No need to worry. Just walk back out there and act natural. When I get back to the living room Trip is nowhere to be found. Huh, I wonder where he went.
I look in the den, nope. I walk to the kitchen, nope. Outside on the patio, pool etc, nope. Hmm, I wonder where he could be.
I walk back in the house and hear something upstairs. Aha! He must be up there. I walk slowly because I don’t want him to hear me. And that’s when I realize he’s on the phone.
“...I know, man, it’s just hard when she’s right there in front of me and I can’t even touch her really let alone hold her the way I want to. Gosh, and listen to me I sound like a freakin' girl!” he says frustrated
Why does it hurt my chest to hear his voice sound so broken?
“I know man, just give her time. It’s only the first day of her being here and I’m already letting my head get to me.” wow, why is it breaking my heart to hear this?
“I know, I know.” he agrees with someone
“I just wish I could tell her how I actually feel instead of messing with her like I’m just joking. I just want to grab her face and..ughhhh...I don’t even know anymore, dude!” I see his hand fly up in the air through the crack in his bedroom door.
