I didn’t even want to know what I really looked like.
I doubt I looked sexy. More scary. But I did it just to make her happy.
“Isn’t hanging around your dad’s barber shop and waiting for Dwayne to come in every week enough for you?”
I put my hands on my hips thinking that maybe she’d get the message and just stick to her usual routine of trying to get the guys’ attention.
“No!”
She sighed, that long exaggerated thing that she did whenever she wanted to make a point. One that I didn’t want to hear.
“You know that it’s nearly Prom don’t you?”
I couldn’t see her, but the sarcasm in her voice was enough to put me off going any further.
“Besides you don’t want to stay at home and listen to Henry and your mom making out do you?”
I shook my head, “No way. Why did she have to date him, out of all the men in town?”
“And we know that ever though since your dad died, you’ve still not got over it. I’m sure your mom dating has been hard on you.”
“It was at first, but it’s been five years. I know that Mom has to move on eventually. She had to work for the first time in her life since he died and she’s managed to pick herself up. It’s just why she had to date him. Henry’s fine. It’s his son, Liam, that has issues. Big issues. I don’t even understand why any girl would even hook up with him. The guy’s a mental case.”
I didn’t know if I was trying to convince her or myself.
“Is that why whenever he walks in the room, you go bright red and you can’t get keep your eyes off him?” She took my hand, “I told you, your secret’s safe with me. I know you have a crush on him.”
“Now, you make me sound about five. I don’t have a crush. The guy’s a jerk.”
“I know he took your homework, handed it in and said you copied him.”
“Like that was likely? As if I would ever copy him.”
“And then Liam turned up at your date saying that you asked him to come and save you from Pete.”
“And I really liked Pete. I couldn’t even explain to him that Liam’s a jerk and how could I ask two men out at the same time?”
“I don’t even know why you asked Pete out in the first place?”
I sighed, because we’d had this conversation so many times. I’d always left out the part when we were in the cafeteria and Liam came up to me and said tha
t we should go to his place and get it out of our systems. He accused me of having a thing for him. I went out of my way to prove that I had nothing for him, by asking Boring Pete out. He was the safe option. Until Liam turned up, I was kind of bored. Everyone is whenever Pete starts to talk, but he’s such a nice guy. It’s just that no one wants to talk about Star Trek all night, apart from Trekkies, and no one wants to look at his collection of monuments via photos or the stash that he keeps in his backpack, again apart from Trekkies. After that night, he went and asked a Trekkie fan out and they’re happy in love and I’m just…
“Anyway, let’s just get it over and done with.”
I picked up my speed thinking about that night with Liam. There was another part I always missed out. Once Pete was out of the way, Liam held me in his arms and kissed me, then he broke away saying, “Pete could never kiss you like that.”
He had a point, but he didn’t even ask for permission; then again I didn’t protest. I watched as he left me like a jilted bride on my doorstep after giving me the kiss of the year. Shit, it was my first kiss and it wasn’t just that it made my panties wet. It just made me want him even more. But, I’ll never confess it to Chanel, and certainly not him….nearly 90,000 words for free with Kindleunlimited or purchase for $5.99. Click here to grab your copy!
