I know I’m blushing like a little school girl, I can feel the heat rising,
Me: Well maybe she should stay out of your bed tonight. So, you won’t be distracted.
He doesn’t text back, he calls me. My phone vibrating in my hand. I look to my friends and they look at my phone.
India smiles widely. “You gonna answer that or just look freaked out?”
Rolling my eyes, I swipe answer, and pull the phone to my ear. “Hello?”
“Don’t hello me, baby.” I can hear yelling in the background and the sound of a ball bouncing. “What were you saying about not being in my bed tonight?”
I shrug, though he can’t see me. “I guess assuming I’m the sexy girl in your bed.” I trail off smiling.
Patrick and Indi make faces while pretending to throw up. Sticking my tongue out at them, I flip them off.
Cuba tsks in my ear. “You’re the only sexy girl that’s ever been in my bed, Arrow.”
“Yeah?” I smirk. “I’m sure you tell all the pretty girls that same thing.”
He laughs in to the phone, and my body shivers from the sound. “Not possible, you’re the only pretty girl I know.”
My heart does a little flip, but I quickly calm her. “Now you’re just teasing me.”
I hear his name called in the background, and I know he’s going to hang up soon.
“You’re the only pretty girl that matters,” he says. “Look, babe. I have to go before Cam has a tantrum. I forgot Ash is having some dinner thing for his birthday tonight. Want to go?”
A public outing with Cuba? I wasn’t exactly sure I was ready for that. Then I remember it’s Sunday, and I usually have dinner with my dad. He hasn’t texted me to change it yet or tell me where to meet.
“Um, I usually have dinner with my dad on Sundays,” I tell him.
“I forgot, Saturday with your mom and Sunday with your dad.” He remembers. “Well, I took you away from your mom this weekend, it would only be fair to take you away again.”
I bite my lip to keep from smiling. “I can’t, he’ll actually come to my house to check on me.”
“Fine, but you’ll come over after, right?” He sounds bummed, and I feel bad.
“Of course,” I say quickly.
“Cool, I’ll see you later.”
He hangs up, leaving me there confused. Our conversation went from cute to awkward in a matter of seconds. He’s hot and cold all over again. Great, I don’t even know where I went wrong. Did I say something wrong? Or is he upset that I can’t join him tonight?
I shake it off, putting a smile on my face once I drop my phone in my purse. They want to ask if I’m okay, but they don’t say anything, and are talking about wanting to have a kickback with some friends. We don’t have friends, so it would just be us like always. Patrick suggests that I invite Cuba and his friends, but I told him I doubt they would enjoy bad chick flicks, eating fourteen boxes of assorted See’s Candy, and bottles of cheap champagne. We like to party hard.
“Just ask.” Indi stands up, grabbing her purse. “It wouldn’t be so bad to grow our small circle.”
Patrick and I follow her out of the restaurant.
“And what makes you think I’ll want to be around him all the time?” Because I do want to be around him all the time now.
They both laugh at me like I’m adorable.
India gives me a look like I’m crazy. “Bitch, you’re dickmitized.”
I almost choke on air. “What?” I cough and pat my chest.
Patrick pats my back gently. “It happens to the best of us, baby.”
