This Can't Be Good

Chapter 19

The last night of our trip was relaxing. Since it was Thanksgiving we had all gone out to eat. It was entertaining since we ate at a restaurant with Disney characters who were dancing around the entire time. This morning things were hectic. Our flight didn't leave until five in the afternoon but with eleven people that meant we were packing the entire day. I hadn't bought too many things so my suit case wasn't extremely tight but Miranda and I did have to sit on it to get it closed.

Thankfully the night Parker and I were hanging out was still a secret. Miranda had texted me before she left the room so her and Parker crossed passed but she never asked any questions, not that anything happened. It was just a nice night, despite the fact it was spent with him.

I was really sad to leave this place. Miranda nearly dragged me out of the room. My reaction wasn't as bad as poor Lexis though. She screamed and cried the entire drive to the airport because she was convinced she was never coming back. The only way we got her to shut up was by giving her a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal she had bought.

"All right guys, we have a little over an hour before we have to board so just stay around here but go get whatever you need," My dad said before sitting down in the terminal.

I couldn't stand waiting around, my nerves would get to me. I ended up in a gift/snack shop a couple terminals over. I was just browsing around when my phone rang.

It was a message from Jake telling me to have a safe flight home. He really was one of the sweetest guys ever. I typed back a response and continued shopping.

"You've had a smile plastered on your face since your phone rang. Who was it, your boyfriend from the park?" Parker growled from behind me.

Here we go again. I swear he is worse than a hormonal pregnant girl. He needs bipolar medication or something. One moment he's my best friend and the next he's all pissy.

"Yes, it was him, no he is not my boyfriend and sorry I didn't know I wasn't allowed to be happy," I bitched back. He rolled his eyes and just stood there looking at me, as if I was lying and was going to confess. Oh how I wish I could slap him. "Parker just move," I said. I needed to get in line but he was blocking the pathway. He didn't budge. "What the hell is your problem now?"

"You are always my problem Josylne," He said quietly.

"I really hope you didn't just say that." It took every ounce of my strength to keep from full on screaming. I didn’t want to make a scene.

"And what If I did? Are you going to go cry to your new boyfriend?" He asked.

"Fuck you. I already told you he isn't my boyfriend but of coarse you don't believe me," I said and stormed out of the shop and just walked farther away from the terminal.

"Josylne wait a damn minute," Parker said grabbing my arm and making me turn to face him.

"I don't want to here whatever you have to say. You need bipolar medication!" I said but stayed where I was standing. Partly because I wanted to hear what he had to say but it also had to do with the fact that he was still holding my arm.

"You're not the easiest person to be around either," He said.

"Every time something happens you blame me. Have you ever fucking thought that it isn't just me that's the problem? Let's remember who started this whole be friends things. Let's remember who asked me to dance at homecoming and ignored me. Let's remember who hung out with me the other day at the arcade and who is now screaming at me because he doesn't believe the words leaving my own mouth," I yelled. Thank god I got as far as I did because if we were closer my whole family would be listening to this conversation. The people waiting in the terminal we were in front of us were beginning to stare.

"And every time we fight you put all the weight on me. Josylne its a double fucking standard. I've tried and tried to make you realize that but it never works. You end up being a bitch and I don't know how much more I can take of it," He spilled out.

"Are you kidding me. You're lucky we are in a public place and my family is over there because I would slap you so hard if we were at home. Don't ever call me a bitch and blame it all on me," I said and walked away. I hoped and prayed he didn't follow me but luck wasn't on my side tonight.

"Josylne!" He said and grabbed my arm again. I turned around except this time he didn't yell at me, instead he pulled me closer.

"No," I said and pushed away from him. "Every time we fight you think you can just say my name and everything is okay, but its not. You are a pain in my ass and I'm do-" I was cut off by the lips of the person I was screaming at.

I was in shock until it all hit me. These were Parker's lips, he was kissing me right here in the airport while I was screaming. I gained my senses back and kissed him back. I could feel my stomach doing somersaults and my face was heating up. I would be lying if I said Parker wasn't a hell of a kisser. I mean I had waited for this moment since the age of eight and it was everything I could imagine and more. Our lips moved in unison. The fireworks flew. It was everything I could ever ask for. He pulled away and looked down.

"Sorry," He said and walked away. Just like that. Now he chooses to run away.

I ran into the bathroom and looked into the reflection. The guy I've had a crush on since I was eight just kissed me and then walked away. Well, one things for sure, this would be a hell of a plane ride. Speaking of plane ride, shit. I ran back to the terminal just as they were boarding the last people. I took my seat next to Parker who had his headphones in and was looking out the window.

The plane took off and just like the first time I grabbed the arm rest. Parker looked at me and sighed.

"Can we talk?" I asked. He sighed and took off his headphones.

"I said I was sorry."

"I know. I'm sorry too.”

Who would have though that I could have a civil conversation with Parker after having a screaming match. I can't believe he kissed. I sighed and closed my eyes. Yet again a moment that was in the hands of Parker Daniels.
