HEY QUICK LIL NOTE BEFORE YALL START READING! THIS IS THE SAME BOOK AS "THE FEELING" I JUST CHANGED THE NAME TO SOMETHING MORE RELEVANT TO THE STORYLINE, KAAYYY HAPPY READING !! :)
I stopped eating and rushed outside after Kevin. It wasn't my choice, I was forced by everyone else. Not cool.
When I got out to my porch, Kevin was already across the street and well on his way home. Just when I thought he wouldn't even make a second glance my way, he looked back at my house and stopped. He stared for a while before continuing on, walking home.
I thought about following and stopping him, maybe even to tell him how I feel. But I can't. We haven't even known each other that long. He'd probably hate me or something. I just sat on the steps of my porch for a while, thinking. How did I let myself fall so hard for someone I just met and barely know?
I heard the door open and out walked a worried and sympathetic Daniel. He sat down next to me.
"Tori, talk to me. Tell me what's up." He looked at me.
I felt overwhelmed confessing my feelings out loud. I told myself that maybe if I didn't say it outloud, I wouldn't believe it. Here goes everything.
"Okay. This is harder to say than I thought it would be," I started, my voice shaky and weak, letting out a soft laugh to hold back my tears.
I tried to continue but my words kept getting caught by the lump in my throat.
"You really like him, don't you." Daniel finished for me, looking at me.
I tried to speak but all I could do was nod my head in agreement. Just after I saw I was surrounded by Chantelle, Camila and Devin. They all came out to support me.
I find it wierd, usually crushing on somebody is supposed to be a happy thing. I guess there's a reason why they call it a crush.
* * *
Chantelle and Camila left, and it was just me, Daniel and Devin. We were watching a movie to calm me down and distract me and I was feeling so much better.
"Get up, we're going shopping." Daniel demanded.
"Ouu!!! Let's go let's go!!" I said, jumping up, already in the car.
We shopped for two hours and I only found one outfit. I guess you can say i'm a really picky person when it comes to clothes. After I found my outfit, we decided we were hungry and went to the food court. Once we got our food we went to sit down at a table and suddenly, Daniel and Devin got serious.
"So. We're going to Kevin's tonight."
"Yeah, you guys have fun!! Free base to me yaaaaayy!!" I cut them off, laughing.
"No Tori, you're coming with us. Just act like there's nothing bothering you and it will be fine. We're not letting you loose a friendship over his foolish mood swings." Devin finished.
"Aii fine, is that why you guys let me find a poppin outfit?" I smirked at them.
"Well yeah, knowing me I woulda been outta here after the first hour." Daniel laughed.
After we ate we went home and I hopped into the shower. After I was done, I put on my new outfit and started my makeup.
Once I was finished getting ready, a few good lyrics popped into my head for a song i've been trying to write since i've moved in with Daniel. His music inspires mine, so I quickly wrote them down in my notebook.
"Tori, are you ready!!" Daniel called from downstairs.
"Yeah i'm coming!" I yelled back.
I joined them downstairs and we walked over to Kevin's house. I knocked and he answered the door, smiling and let us in. He pulled me into a hug and we said hi and I ran straight for the couch, taking up the whole thing. The boys looked at me and I smirked.
"What, ya girl can't make herself comfortable?"
They all laughed.
"Aye, you do you ma" Kevin shrugged.
I just been shot. My heart can't handle this. Boy tonight's gonna be super super hard.
"So what we doing boys?" Devin asked, sitting on the other couch.
"KEV DO YOU HAVE A POOL TABLE?!" I asked, getting a lil too excited. oops.
"YEAHH LETS PLAY!" He laughed, leading us all to the basement.
"Alright since Vic suggested it, it's You against Kevin." Daniel smirked.
"Not fair! I'm not even that good!! Can we please do teams?!" I glared at Daniel lowkey.
"Fine, but you better be on my team ma, I'll teach you." Kevin smiled, looking right into my eyes. BOYY STOPP🤗
I took my turn first and barely hit the white ball. I sighed and felt defeated already and the game had just started. Honestly, I didn't even know how to hold the pool cue properly. (idk how to spell that oops)
"Need some help Tori?" Kevin laughed as he came closer to me.
"Uhh.. how do I do this?" I asked, obviously asking for help on everything.
"Well first, take a smaller cue. Second put one hand here," Kevin said, taking my hand and placing it near the back of the cue. "And then, put your hand here and rest the cue in a comfortable spot on your hand, between two fingers but do not let the end of the cue rest on the table" He said, putting my other hand in place. I balanced the cue between my thumb and the rest of my fingers.
Kevin stayed close behind me.
"Now try again. Remember, it's all about the angles, you have to know where exactly you're aiming for the ball to go."
I listened to his instructions and eventually, I sunk a striped ball which gave us stripes. After I got the hang of the game, it went by pretty quick.
Kevin and I ended up winning against Devin and Daniel. It was obvious they lost on purpose, are they trying to get Kevin to be pulling moves on me?
As I sunk the 8 ball for our winning shot, Kevin came over again and hugged me so tight.
"Great game baby, we won!!" He smiled, still holding me in his arms.
Daniel and Devin stood there, shook with their eyes open. I was also shook and I fell out of the hug as soon as the words came out of his mouth.
Baby? Did he just call me baby?
Kevin obviously stopped his celebration and shared a look with the other two boys, before his mood seemed to change randomly. He looked down and started to play with his fingers. I couldn't read the expression on his face, but he definitely was not so thrilled with his choice of words. The sudden change in his mood was pretty scary to be honest.
Daniel and Devin silently and quickly ran up the stairs leaving Kevin and I alone, again. Why are they torturing me and testing my strength to hold back any feelings from showing.
I didn't really know what to do, so I just started hanging up the pool cue's and fixing up whatever was out of place. By the time I was done Kevin was looking at me, the same un readable expression on his face.
"Y-You okay Kev?" I asked, fear rising in the back of my head.
It seemed like he came back to his senses and he glared at me.
"I'm perfectly fine. But why are you still down here?" He spat, not taking his eyes off me.
I sighed in annoyance and went upstairs, walked straight past Daniel and Devin, got my shit and showed myself out.
"I don't know what y'all were tryna pull here, but if you're trying to get me hurt, it's working." And with that last statement, I was out the door.
