Double Standards

"You fuck nearly every girl you see, but if I kiss one guy it's the end of the world and you stomp around like an angry child! You're just my brother's friend for fuck's sake, we're not together!" I yell, walking towards him til he backs into the wall.

I was ready for him to yell back, to get into a fight yet again, but he's silent. My whole body is tense, I'm practically shaking, yet he's calm. It almost infuriates me more. I didn't expect the silence that enveloped the room.

My body, my choices. I was sick of Kade thinking he just run my life and ruin every chance I get at a date. I had to stand up for myself at one point. I just didn't expect this silence when I finally decided to do so.

"We could be," He says quietly and my stomach drops. At a loss for words, I drop my arms. I was ready for any response but this one. A scoff, a fight, maybe even him telling me he hates me. Not this though.
