Me:I’ve already 4given u 4 kidnapping me TWICE, I’m pretty sure ur 4given 4 whatever u did now
Kidnapper #1:We didn’t kidnap u. We bought u lunch
Me:Yeah, AFTER kidnapping me. N what about the 2ndtime?
Kidnapper #1:We were just keeping u safe from the crowd
Me:That’s so not what happened. Still, what did u do this time, Hunter?
Kidnapper #1:I asked u about Jessica bcuz Baron’s interested n her, not me.
I stared at his text, and while I couldn’t deny that it made me feel better, I still didn’t want to get my hopes up. Nevertheless, if Hunter was upset at me for what I’d done to him Friday night, then he wouldn’t be clearing the air about Jessica, right? If he was upset with me, then he wouldn’t have called me baby or kissed me on the cheek, right? I mean, he could still be just trying to keep things civil because of Talon and Kenzlee, but my stupid feelings couldn’t help but hope that it might mean more. Even if Hunter wasn’t interested in me like that, if he wasn’t mad at me for what happened, then I hadn’t lost him as a friend. Yeah, it’d be hard to be just friends, but I could do it.
I could do it.
The only problem now was that I didn’t know how to reply to his text without coming off like a loser. I wasn’t sure if I should tell him that it’s okay because we’re just friends, or was acknowledging that it mattered the right move? I also couldn’t believe that I was at a point in my life when I didn’t know how to handle something this simple. It wasn’t like I was thirteen with my first crush.
When my phone chimed again, I knew that I had to reply to him.
Kidnapper #1:Alexandria?
Me:Sorry. Sum1 was at the door
God, now I was lying.
Perfect.
I replied back, deciding to keep things simple.
Me:U can tell him that she’s single and adventurous if that helps
My heart felt like it was in my throat as those dots began dancing, and I wondered how much more I could screw this thing between me and Hunter up.
Kidnapper #1:It does
His response was so anticlimactic that I wasn’t sure what to do now. I also wasn’t sure how I felt about Jessica and Baron hooking up. That would have her around Hunter more, and I felt jealous enough for it to bother me.
Maybe I needed to get drunk.
Dropping back on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, I wondered if maybe I just needed to hook up with another guy. Maybe I was overthinking everything because my virginity had gone to a guy that I actually liked. Had it gone to just some random college guy, maybe there wouldn’t have been any feelings clouding up my thinking process.
When my phone chimed again, I groaned.
Kidnapper #1:Gotta get back 2 work. C u on Friday
Me:Ok
Setting my phone down on the bed beside me, I chalked it up to PMS. I was due to start my period in a couple of days, so it really could be just hormones making me crazy. Hell, maybe my feelings for Hunter weren’t even real. Maybe it was just PMS wreaking its usual havoc.
Yeah, right.
Ignoring my heart and head, I decided to blame this entire mess on PMS and call it a day. If I still felt like an idiot after my period started, then I’d address it. Until then, I could keep my head in the sand for just a little while longer.
Chapter 15
The shock that blinds us.
