VERONICA.
It's finally Friday, at least I can now relax since it's weekend.
As I dragged my lazy ass to class, I sighted Sam from afar then I decided to wave at him but he didn't seem to be paying attention.
I guess he is talking to someone.
As I moved closer to him,I was surprised to see the person he was talking to.
I didn't expect it to be Hunter of all people.
I was more surprised to see Sam talking friendily to him.
"Hey." I said with a faint smile.
"Vee, what's up?" he asked with a grin like it's a normal thing to see him talking to Hunter Bush.
Gently for that matter.
"Nothing,Just heading to class." I said as I glanced at Hunter.
He smiled at me but I couldn't smile back, everything was screaming awkward.
Maybe it's because of what he told me yesterday.
"Let's go together then, see you around Hunter." he said as the both of us started heading to class.
"What was that?" I asked him.
"What was what?" he asked.
"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, why were you with Hunter and since when did you guys become friendly with each other?" I asked again.
"Well, he approached me and he wanted to talk and I saw no reason to ignore him. besides, he seem like a nice guy." he replied.
He must be joking, I think he is pulling my legs because this can't be it.
"You barely know him." I scoffed wondering if he has forgotten about what Hunter did.
"I will get to know him then, besides I don't think that's a bad idea." he shrugged like it was nothing.
Saying I'm surprised is an understatement, I was speechless. I can't believe these words are coming out from Sam's mouth,what has gotten into him?
I don't like this, at all!
"Well, that's really rich coming from someone that has been telling me about the lack of trust he has in Hunter since day one." I said sarcastically.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked with a furious tone.
Get a grip bro!
"What do you mean by that? I'm supposed to be the one asking you that question and not the other way round.
How can you just wake up one morning and decide to become friends with Hunter,have you forgotten what he did to me?" I asked raising my voice and I think we are already dragging attention to ourselves.
"Everything is not about you Vee and you need to let go of that grudge.
Besides, he has already appologized.
I don't know why you are still holding that against him." he said with a groan.
What has gotten into him, why is he unnecessarilly angry at me?
I know me and Sam argue about things on different occasions but I really don't get the reason for this argument.
"You of all people know what would have happened if Bryan didn't come to my rescue that night." I said.
"But nothing happened and the guy is sorry." he said.
"I can't believe the words that are coming out from your mouth.
You know what? When you sort your shit out, you know where to find me." I said as I walked out on him.
What the hell?!
What crawled up his ass and died?
I really can't believe he is taking Hunter's side right now.
What happened to "I don't trust him,You need to stay away from him." ?
Jerk!
"Watch it." Cindy said as she hit me on my shoulder.
I really don't have the strength for this but if she asks for it, I won't hesitate to give her what she deserves.
So annoying.
I ignored her and entered inside the class.
As I saw the smile on Bryans face, my heart melted and I mirrored his smile.
"Hey babe,"he said as I got to my seat.
He was sitting on Sams usual seat.
He looks very happy today,nice.
"You look very happy today,I can see you woke up from the right side of the bed." I voiced out smiling.
"You can say that again,you look beautiful." he compliment and I couldn't stop the blush from showing on my cheeks.
When he noticed that, he started grinning.
Actually, it's been four weeks since we started dating.
Well, almost a month.
We spend a lot of our time together.
Either going out on a date or just spending time together.
This time he took me to the movies to watch Love at first sight.
We also spent some time in my room,making out, watching movies and making out again.
There are times we end up going to his house and Anne kind of became attached to me.
She was growing on me too.
I like her,she is so sweet and cute.
One day, we were making out in Bryans room and he decided to take it forward.
I told him I was not ready for more and he said he understands that he will wait till I'm ready.
After saying this, he didn't push at all. He kept his words.
Atleast for now.....
I was really happy that he understood and it is a good thing that I'm starting to feel very comfortable around and with him.
I remember when he walked in on me naked earlier this week,he appologized repeatedly and I told him it was okay.
He really didn't want to get on my bad side.
It is surprising how I have only know him for some weeks now and it feels like I have known him forever.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked me with one of his adorable smiles plastered on his face.
"Us." I surprised myself by saying.
"That's nice." he said as he pecked me on my forehead and said he has to go for his first class.
*********
After school, Bryan met me and told me that he will come pick me up for the party but I told him I was coming with Jennifer.
"I have no problem with taking the both of you." he said.
"And wear something hot." he said again with a smirk before he left.
Normally, that statement will sound cringy to me but it sounds sexy coming from Bryan.
I called Jennifer and reminded her about the party, I didn't tell her about what happened between me and Sam.
I don't want her to have to pick sides although I'm kind of sure she will pick mine.
Every normal human being will do that.
She came over to my house and after chatting about girls stuff, we both decided to take a shower.
She is staying over for the weekend and also on Monday and Tuesday because, we aren't having classes.
They were celebrating something that I didn't even bother asking about,I was just happy about not having lessons and obviously school.
I took a shower first, then she went to take one when I was putting on my cloths.
I settled in a red leather thigh length skirt,I made sure I shaved my legs earlier today.
I matched the skirt with a black strapless crop top and a black leather jacket which I am going to ditch when I get to the party since indoor parties are always warm.
or even hot
Jennifer wore something similar to mine but her leather skirt was black and it was a bit lower than mine and she wore a sharp yellow off shoulder crop top but she didn't wear a leather jacket.
We did our make over and I added a small touch of nude lipstick and coated it with lip gloss,put on my hoop earrings, carried a tiny shoulder purse and went downstairs with Jennifer before Bryan called that he was already here.
When we came downstairs, he couldn't keep his eyes off me.
He kept on calling me several sweet names and Jennifer was so sick of it so, she told him he is free to sit at the back and stare at me all he likes but she will have to take the wheel.
"I don't trust anyone with my baby." he said after giving me a flirty stare.
"We will talk about you trying to kill me with this when we get some alone time."he said to me referring to my dressing.
When we got to the party, it was already filled up and Bryan needed some minutes to find a nice place to park his sports car.
As we got inside, they quickly handed us cups of alcohol but I declined.
I'm not really in the mood for alcoholic now,
Maybe later.
And I rather drink from my own bottle, only God knows what mixture this is.
I and Jennifer went to where other people were dancing while Bryan decided to go look for some of his friends.
After several minutes of dancing, I decided to take a little quantity of alcohol.
I saw Bryan among some of his friends and motioned for him to come dance with me.
I placed my ass directly in front of his umm.. and I could feel him fighting some things down there.
"You are Killing me baby." he said directly in my ear before bitting my ear lobe.
That sent a tingling feeling through my body and we ended up making out widely on one of the couches in the party.
I didn't want Jennifer to feel lonely so, I told Bryan that I will go keep her company.
I saw her talking with a guy who was obviously flirting with her.
Sorry man, she is taken.
Bryan said he will head upstairs to get us water since we were both thirsty and we thanked him.
I felt like he was taking his time so, I decided to go upstairs to look for him.
"What the hell?!" Bryan shouted as he pushed Cindy off him.
"I have a girlfriend and I will never cheat on her,why did you fucking kiss me, what is wrong with you?" he exclaimed as she tried to touch him again.
I actually saw what happened.
I saw how Cindy placed her mouth on Bryan immediately he turned to go.
He pushed her away.
But I still felt that strong feeling in my chest.
Not for him but for her.
She is a fucked up whore,I feel like snapping her neck.
"Babe, it's not what you think." Bryan said paniking when he noticed my presence.
"I know and I'm going to teach this bitch about how to stay away from what's mine." I said as a launched at Cindy.
BRYAN
"I'm going to teach this bitch about how to stay away from what's mine." She shouted as she launched at Cindy.
At first I was scared when I saw Veronica looking at me and Cindy when I was yelling at her for kissing me.
I don't even know what got into the bitch.
She almost broke I and Veronica's relationship up and I can't even afford that right now.
I am very glad she saw what happened.
As she launched at Cindy, I was very surprised.
I have never seen this possessive part of her before.
She called me hers.
I stopped grinning when I remember they were fighting.
"Baby it's okay." I said as I raised her from where she was punching Cindy.
Cindy on the other hand was too drunk to fight back.
"I need to deal with this whore."she said shouting.
"Baby it's okay,you have beaten her enough and I'm very sure she will know her place from now on." I said trying to convince her to leave the place because she was fuming and I know what she will do if I release my hold from her.
"Vee, let's go."Jennifer said as the three of us left.
I gave Jennifer my car key so that she will drive.
I want to stay with Veronica because, I have to tell her.
Infact I need to tell her.
I have been avoiding this since because I was scared she won't reciprocate my feeling.
But right now I don't care what it takes, I will still tell her and I have a feeling she feels the same way.
Falling in love is both sweet and overwhelming at the same time,
I am always thinking about her. infact, she invades my thoughts almost every second of the day.
I always seek her happiness because, it makes me happy.
I always want to be around her and I want to be the reason for her happiness.
I can't even start explaining how I feel towards her because only words cannot explain.
She has stolen my heart and she doesn't even know it.
She is it for me and I want to continue living my life pleasing her.
Is it too early for love?
I don't care and I don't think it's too early.
One month is enough time to fall in love with someone.
Jennifer was surprised that I gave her my car key to take us home but she didn't ask me why.
She just got to the drivers seat while I and Veronica got into the back.
Vee haven't said anything since after I brought her out of the party.
She is even avoiding eye contact with me.
Is she mad at me?
She rested her head on the car window as she faced away from me.
"Vee? baby please say something." I said as I placed my hand on her thigh.
"I'm tired and I don't want to talk right now." she said still avoiding my eyes.
I don't even know what to do.
What if she breaks up with me?
No, I can't allow that.
I can't help the different negative thoughts that are flying into my head right now.
"Baby." I said as I kneelth down at her front.
"I'm sorry, I didn't even know she was behind me if not I would have avoided the kiss. Please look at me." I said begging and I'm very sure I look so pathetic right now but I don't care.
I will do everything I can to make her talk to me.
"Why are you on your knees? Bryan stand up."she said as she turned to face me.
"Have you forgiven me?"I asked her still on my knees.
"I'm not mad at you,I'm just thinking and trying to clear my head so please stand up." she said.
"Are you sure you are not mad at me?"I asked her.
"I'm not mad at you and I saw what happened but why are you still on your knees?" she said.
I won't allow her to clear her head because, I don't want her to start regretting us.
If I let her be she might start thinking of reasons why she shouldn't be with me and I won't allow that.
"I love you." I said as I took her hands and kissed the back of the both if them.
"You what ?" she asked me with wide eyes.
"I love you princess ,I have been trying to keep this feeling to myself for sometime now but I can no longer do that.
I love you and I want you to know that it's only you I want." I said.
"I will understand if you don't feel the same way,Just please think about it and don't leav..."
Before I could finish my statement, I was attacked with a kiss.
I deepened the kiss as I kissed her passionately and I know I will never let her go. No matter what she is it for me and I won't give her any reason to leave.
"I love you too." she said smilling as she broke the kiss.
"Say it again." I said grinning like a lost sheep.
"I love you." she said as she pecked me on my lips.
"So, please stand up and stop kneeling down."she added and I stood up.
"You can't take it back." I said smilling as I took her right hand and pecked it.
"I won't and same goes for you ." she replied.
"I will never take it back." I replied.
I know we are just in our last year in high school but I don't care.
I know I love her,she is my first love and she will be my last.
She rested her head on my shoulder as she continued smilling.
As if the both of us just remember we have company,we started laughing.
"I almost came out of this car so you guys can be alone."Jennifer said as she continued driving.
"I'm not sorry you withnessed that." Veronica said laughing.
"Her laughter is like music to my ears and her smile is like a balm to my heart.
As we got to Veronica's house, Jennifer stopped the car and gave me my car key.
"I will be upstairs,don't do anything nasty."she said as she went inside the house.
"I will miss you." I said as I held Veronica to my body with her head resting on my chest.
"Me too,but you can come over tomorrow." she said as she held me closer to her body.
"I will surely do that." I said as I pecked her on her forehead.
"Goodnight, I love you." I told her.
"I love you too." she replied before we released ourselves from the hug.
I watched her as she got into her house after giving me one last glance and waving at me to go.
I got into my car and drove off still smilling.
VERONICA
I can't believe what just happened, Bryan Klein just confessed his love for me and I could finally tell him I feel the same way.
After what happened at the party, I wanted to be alone because I couldn't stop thinking about what happened and I realized I really love Bryan but I was scared he will not reciprocate my feeling.
So, you can understand how shocked I was when he told me that he loves me.
As I got into my room, Jennifer was already in her pyjamas and she was smilling like a loon.
I quickly went to take a shower and changed into my pyjamas before joining her on the bed.
We talked about I and Bryan and as usual, she was happy for me.
I told her about what happened between I and Sam and she told me they had a fight.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't even know and I dragged you to a party with me." I said feeling bad.
"Don't blame yourself.
I also wanted to clear my head, besides, he texted and told me he was sorry and we should meet tomorrow." she said.
The last thing I want right now is to have to pick sides between my two friends.
After we talked about other things, I checked my phone and that was when I saw the test message from Sam.
BESTIE ):I'm so sorry for the way I acted towards you today.
I wasn't happy because, I and Jennifer had a fight and I felt like you were just overreacting about Hunter and thinking only about yourself.
I'm so sorry,please forgive me.
From your lovely bestie. Xoxo.
I smilled and texted him my reply telling him that I have forgiven him but we will talk about it later because this is not enough explanation for his attitude this morning.
After that, I and Jennifer said our goodnights and slept off.
