I woke up, after probably the best nap I've ever had, only to find my face buried in someone's chest. The hell?
I snaked out of the hands that were loosely wrapped around my waist, turning around to see Matthew like 2 inches away from me.
Woah wait what? When did this happen?
I watched him sleep for a bit, until he finally opened his eyes stretching his hands.
Since it was a couch and not a bed, he ended up pushing me off And I elegantly landed on the ground with a loud thud.
"What the heck?"
He looked towards the source of the noise.
"Ouch, sorry."
He looked at me for a bit as his eyes widened. "Wait you were the only sleeping with me?!"
"Nah, I fell from the roof or something."
"Yeah sorry about that..."
I slowly got up, rubbing my head. Luckily I fell on carpeted floor so it didn't hurt too much.
"Shouldn't you be helping me?"
"Not when you decided to sleep on my couch without permission."
"Oh yeah? You're the one who pulled me down!"
"I didn't, I was already asleep."
"You literally told me to shut up and then fell asleep. "
"I said 'lemme sleep'-"
"See you remember!"
"Whatever. " He muttered walking to the bathroom.
I felt my phone vibrate as I it out to see Perry spamming me.
P: Liam he said yes are you fucking kidding me?
P: he said
P: Y
P: E
P: S
P: yo is this the best day of my life or something?
P: we're going on a date this Friday!!!!
P: he agreed (╥﹏╥)
L: ofcourse he did. You'd better treat him well Perry, I'd give you a bit of a speech but I feel like his father will do a fine job at that so nvm.
P: does his dad not support Liam being gay?
L: nah, he does. He's just protective as heck so you'll be interrogated. Good luck ;)
P: oh then it'll be fine. And ofcourse I'll treat him right, you have nothing to worry about (~‾▿‾)~
I smiled, I can imagine how happy Zach must be.
L: good luck for you date, don't forget protection ;)
Z: I should have told him to not tell you ,(눈‸눈)
I chuckled happy for them. Honestly, they're the only otp I'll ever have.
I heard Matthew walk out, I wanted to tell him about their date but he was on the phone talking to someone about a party in Friday ofcourse. Probably gonna hook up with another girl...
Y'know, we talked about it before, but I managed to dodge the real reason I wasn't talking to him. And I can't even ignore him to protect my own feelings now.
Damn it.
Funny how my mood immediately dampened, not wanting to talk about anything anymore.
Problems of liking a straight dude am I right?
Okay, stop thinking about it Liam, it doesn't matter.
I gathered my stuff, attempting to leave before he got off the phone, but I failed like always.
"Liam, you wanna come to the party this Friday? Perry finally managed a date with Zach. "
Should I go? John's leaving this Thursday, he's going back. I guess I go.
"Uh sure I guess. I'm not drinking though. "
"Oh cmon! A little-"
"Nope. I won't go If you ask me to drink. "
"Aww" he huffed but nodded anyway. I don't want to get drunk and do something weird. I'm the type to cry or be overly friendly when I'm drunk.
"I'll get going now, I have work. " I smiled slowly stalking my way out of the house.
Truth be told, I know the only way I'll get over him is by finding someone else I like. Maybe I'll find someone at the party...
I got back to my apartment, I lied about work. Ofcourse.
-------------
It's Thursday, John left early without telling me, leaving a letter on the couch.
The coast is clear. I can call Zach over.
I called him, and he persisted that we go to the mall to get him new clothes for his date. I agreed because I want him to enjoy his date, and be excited about it.
We met at the mall a little later, but we lost interest in looking for clothes almost as soon as we started.
"Let's get some food, then try again. " He said, exhausted. How's he ready exhausted? He wouldn't survive coming out with John....
"Go grab a seat, I'll get us food. Pizza is fine right?"
"Yup." I said walking towards the tables, looking around to see none of the tables empty. Well except one.
I walked to the table, and just as I was about to sit I noticed a guy sitting right opposite to me.
"Oh wait, have you already been sitting here?"
"No I just got here..."
He quickly apologized and got up to walk away, but since we were only 2 I invited him to sit with us.
"Liam." I offered my hand.
"Uh Kate. Thanks for letting me sit." He smiled accepting the hand shake.
Zach came back, and gave me a questioning look.
"There's no more tables so Let him share the table."
I asked, as he sat down beside me.
"Alright then."
"Zach. " He smiled, starting eating.
We didn't talk much, but it wasn't awkward either. After eating, Zach went to the rest room leaving the two of us alone.
"So what are you guys here for?"
"Zach has a date on Friday so we're- crap was that too much information?"
He chuckled "Maybe. Is he gay?"
"Only gay guys don't- wait How'd you know?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I'm gay, and I'm usually pretty good at spotting other gay dudes. " He winked, making my face grow red.
"You're too good at this, not fair."
"I didn't actually guess you, you gave it away yourself. " He smiled innocently.
"Well I'm not gay, probably bi. Just one dude I ended up liking somehow. "
"That happens. Liking straight guys is the worst."
"Exac-"
"You guys sure are bonding. Now cmon we need to go look for clothes. You can come too Kate, you have a better fashion sense anyway. " He pointed at him, which gotta admit, his clothes did look great.
"I'll help you guys out since you let me eat with you." He smiled. He smiles a lot.
Sure enough, As soon as we got to another shop, he immediately paired up a combination that I would haven't even thought of, but looked surprisingly good on Zach.
"That was quick." I said to myself, while they paid and walked back.
"Uh we go home now?"
"I need to get back. You guys can hang out or something. " Zach suggested.
"Wait a second there. Zach I need to talk to you. Ill be back Kate. "
I guided him a little away, to make sure Kate couldn't hear us.
"So uh I need to tell you something..."
"Shoot."
"Ikindalikematthew."
"Huh?"
"I think I like Matthew. "
"Yo seriously?"
"Yea."
"Isn't he straight? Oh wait that's why you were ignoring him isn't it?"
I nodded, slightly embarrassed.
"So I thought the only way I can get over him is by finding someone else I like. What do you think about Kate?"
"He's gay?"
I hummed in response, as he thought about it.
"He seems okay, but we just met him so not too sure. "
"Nvm I'm going to the party this Friday, I guess I'll look for someone there. " I sighed in defeat. "I can't see myself liking him. Maybe I'm only gay for Matthew...oh shit I really said it!" I slapped my hands over my mouth.
He chuckled. "You're so whipped. Good luck bro. " He waved walking away.
I found Kate, and somehow convinced him to get me ice cream.
"You like ice cream a lot, don't you?"
"Leave me alone, it makes me happy."
"Well if it makes you happy, who cares right?"
"Exactly." I looked at him. I have to admit, even though he's not as good looking as Matthew, I can see him being famous. Really tall too.
"You're pretty for a guy. " He said out of no where, catching me off guard.
I coughed, dropping my spoon.
"Look what you did, agh you moron."
"Not my fault you get flustered so easily. "
"Shut up." I said, probably as red as his strawberry ice cream. Which Ew, who likes strawberry ice cream.
"So what do you wanna do? A date?" He winked jokingly.
"Not a chance. Let's go sit in the park or something." I dismissed.
