HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Chp 36

"She has a paper heart
And when she dreams
You know she looks
For the kind of love
You only see in books."

"Guys guys!! Help!!!" we hear screams out of nowhere so we snap our heads to the direction from where the voice came to see....

Ryder!?

"Guys! I fucked up!" Ryder says trying to catch his breath after he reaches our booth and takes a seat beside Jay

"Considering how often you do that, you'll have to give more details." I sass while Matt and Jay found it funny, Ryder glared at me

"Well, Johanna and I had a little 'fun' last night after the party and then.." Ryder drags

"What did you do?" Jay asks him

"Tell me everything from the start." I demand

"Well yesterday we kissed while dancing and then after we dropped off the others last night, things got a little heated and we went to her apartment and had amazing sex." he explains and says the last part with dreamy eyes while I pretend to gag

"Then where the fuck did you fuck up in this?" Matt asks

"Well in the morning when we woke up, I told her it was all a mistake and that we shouldn't have done any of it and then she got pissed and threw me out of her apartment." he says looking down, avoiding our eyes

"YOU DID WHAT!!??" I yell

"I'm sorry. I regret my decision now." Ryder says with utmost sincerity in his eyes

"You like her, don't you?" I ask

"He does." Jay and Matt answer together for him

"To be honest, I knew there was something going on between you two coz Jo won't shut up about you but what you did was wrong, Ryder." I say with a sigh

"See let me explain it to you this way. When you guys kissed last night, both of you wanted it to happen. You guys made out because you wanted to do it. You guys had sex because both of you wanted to do it. You guys did it because if made you both happy. Then why regret or discard something that made you happy? I totally understand if you thought it shouldn't have happened and that it wasn't right but why call it a mistake? Why regret anything that makes your soul happy?" I explain

"Well now that you have explained where I went wrong, can you also tell me her point of view to this, please?" Ryder requests and I roll my eyes at him while Matt and Jay both slap him at the back of his head

"See, as far as I know Jo, she would've been hurt but she would've understood if you explained it to her that you shouldn't have done whatever you did. But what made her mad at you was that you said it was a 'mistake' to something that made you both happy. She wasn't pissed at the fact that you didn't want to be with her. I'm sure she's hurt but she was pissed because you said you regretted whatever happened." I explain it to him in brief while Jay nods in agreement and Matt just stairs at me with amusement in his blue orbs

"So what should I do now?" he says and I face-palm myself

"Did you like it when you guys kissed?" I ask

"It was the best kissing I've ever done." he replies making Matt and Jay shake their heads at him

"Did you like it when you guys had sex?" I ask

"It was like a dream." he answers making me smile

"Do you like her?" I ask

"Definitely." he answers without a second thought

"Do you like her because of the fun you had kissing and having sex with her or do you like the kind of person she is?" I ask

"It sounds cliché but it's as if she's my happy place. When I'm with her, the rest of the world just disappears. It's like she's the person who'll always be there for me no matter what. I love how I can open up to her about anything and everything. I love the way she teases me with her sass and sarcasm. The kissing and sex just come as a compliment." Ryder says with a loving smile on his face

"You're whipped, my friend." Jay says, chuckling and patting Ryder's back

"What do I do now?" Ryder asks me

"Go get your girl, Ry." I say and he rushes off to wherever Jo is right now

"Lover boy." Matt says, chuckling and shaking his head

"It's nice." I say and Matt and Jay turn to look at me

"How so?" Matt asks

"Don't you think it'll feel amazing to have someone love you? The whole of you? Someone who stands by you no matter what happens? Someone who loves you with all your flaws?" I say while Matt looks deep in my eyes and I can't seem to take mine off his either

"Alright let's go, I have to go to work." I say, snapping both of us out of our stance

"Yeah, I'll drop you, squirt." Jayden says and I nod at him

"See ya tomorrow, Matt." I say and leave the café
