Failing Triangle (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 9

Tom pov

The rest of the day went by rather slowly. I couldn't stop thinking about Donny and his new friend. I didn't know a thing about him nor did I care to know anything about him.

'I'm Roman Lipnicki. Charmed.' I mimicked him.

Ugh, what about him makes my blood boil? Maybe he's trying to steal my best friend from me. Yeah right, I'll beat his ass before he even tries.

'But he already has' a voice said.

"No he hasn't." I muttered to myself as I made my way to my bike.

As I got on I saw Roman and Donny getting in a Jeep Wrangler. I felt my body get hot as I grew madder by the second.

'See?' The voice said.

"Shut up!" I said and kick started my bike with fury. I rode past them, letting the engine roar as loud as it could.

Donny pov

I thought he said was sorry. Why the hell would he roar his engine? Unless... is Tom jealous that I'm hanging out with Roman?

I grinned to myself. Maybe Tom does like me after all.

"Who was that?" Roman asked, starting his red Jeep. I never been in a Jeep before, and know that I have I realized that I wanted a model just like Roman's.

"Just Tom. He always does that when I'm hanging out with another person." I shrugged, throwing the seat belt over my shoulder and clicking it.

He laughed. "Jealous boyfriend much?"

I hit him in his arm softly and laughed with him. "No, just an over possessive best friend."

"What's the difference?" He asked.

I sighed a little. "We're not dating." I said in a low voice.

We stopped at a red light and he gave me a sad look. "You like him?" He asked.

"I don't know. Possibly." I said, and he gave me a stern look. "Maybe." He continued with the look. "Yes." I huffed out.

Admitting out loud that I liked Tom did make me feel better, but knowing that Tom is in love with Britney only made me sadder and a little bit angry.

Honestly I wanted to take Roman's car and hit her with it until her lungs were spilling out her mouth. If only she knew that she's making my best friend go crazy over her. Maybe she did know. Maybe this is just some sick game that she's playing to make Tom drool over no one but her.

Ugh that made only want to send her to the hospital even more.

"We're here." Roman said, snapping me out of my mind babble.

I didn't notice that we were here until he said something. I got out and watched as he did the same and locked his car. We walked up the stairs together and he held the door open for me. I blushed. It's a good thing that I'm black or he would've noticed that.

We walked up to the cash register and I saw that Taylor, Britney close friend, was working the cash register.

"Hey Don, what can I get ya?" She faked a country accent.

"Caramel latte for me. Donny, get whatever you want. It's on me." Roman smiled.

Now if it was Tom I would order everything off the menu because it's Tom and he would still let me after protesting a few times. "Just a vanilla mocha, please." I said as Taylor punched in our orders.

"Okay, your total comes up to eight dollars and six cents." She said and Roman handed her a ten dollar bill. She gave him his change.

"Name?" She asked.

I was about to say something but she held up a hand. "Not you, tall blondie." She pointede to Roman.

"Roman." He said and she grinned.

Ohgod, I can only think what goes on in her head.

I led Roman to one of the tables and sat down. He sat across from me and smiled. "So... Tom. What's his deal?" He asked.

"Tom's straight. He's head over heels in love with his ex girlfriend. I want to say that Britney doesn't like him back, but I don't know. I'm the best friend who likes him. We're just one big love triangle mess." I said, looking out the window.

"Sounds like a mess." He let out a small laugh. "What if I say I want to help with that?" He gave me a sympathetic smile.

"I say that be really nice of you." I smiled back.

He reached his hand across the table and rested it on my hand. I felt my cheeks get hot.

Ohgod, Ohgod, Ohgod. Tom just walked in.
