Stevie's POV
I kissed him. It was like magic, blissful. But, he just stood there, and pulled away. My heart dropped of course he would never like me. He is Zander Robbins. I'm waiting for a 'what was that, Stevie?' or a why did you do that?' But, I get nothing. Instead all Zander does is try's to play it off liked nothing happened. He just started randomly talking about Gravity five and band practice and chords. Still playing it off as nothing happened he starts talking about earlier today.
"Stevie, why were you crying?"
"I don't remember." I lie. I turn to leave when he grabs my arm holding me back. I'm hurt by him, and his accusations he just doesn't understand me. He's not sensitive, he's a lady's man. "Zander let me go." I muster, tears threatening to spill out of my eyes.
"Not until you tell me why you were crying." I turn around the tears finally flowing freely down my face.
"You know what Zander," I say, ready to blow up and make our friendship more broken then it is already, "Never mind." And with that I leave. I don't have to explain myself to him, or to anybody else. I'll do fine on my own, I don't need a boyfriend. I never have.
Zander's POV
I hate seeing Stevie cry . I feel bad, I hope she okay. But, she's been ignoring me all week. She didn't come to any of the band practices, including the one we were having right now.
"Guys," I say, referring to Kacey, Nelson and Kevin, "Where is Stevie" instead of one honest answer I get three different answers at the same time.
"She's sick." Kevin says.
"She broke her arm." Said Nelson.
"Fashion emergency." Kacey claimed.
Instead of saying anything I just give them the look that says 'seriously?'
"Should we just tell him?" says Nelson.
"No!" Kacey shouts, "She made us promise not to tell."
"Sorry dude." Kevin says patting me on the back, "you're going to have to ask her yourself."
So that is what I do. I drive to Stevie's house, and ring the doorbell. Ding-dong-ding. She answers with a smile then shuts the door with a frown.
"Seriously Stevie!" I yell through the door, "I just want to talk to you for a couple minutes!"
"Fine," she says opening the door, "You've got five minutes."
"Look I just want to know why you've been ignoring me."
"You actually figured it out it was so not obvious." She says her words dripping with sarcasm. Her face softens as she continues. She sighs and says, " I don think I could ruin this any further so I'll just get on with it."
"Okay." I shrug.
"Zander, here's the thing," she pauses looking at me, "I like you as more than a friend, I have for a while now." I'm in complete shock. What? How could it have just gone over my head? Ugh, she makes me crazy. "And then, I kiss you and you just pretended like nothing ever happened." Now I get it.
"Look, Stevie," I start," I really like you as more than a friend." She nods and blushes, she's so cute when she blushes. " Nelson's my friend and I didn't want to hurt him." She looks confused and then it looks as though she gets it.
"Zander, Nelson and I never went out."
"What?" now I'm really confused.
"Well, he is in love with Grace so we did it to make her jealous." She looks as though she's forgetting to add something else in.
"That's it?"
"Well, I kinda did it to make you jealous to." She doesn't make eye contact with me just turns her head to hide al of her blushing. I sit down next to her and bring her face towards mine so that we are finally making eye contact.
"Oh, so you were trying to make me jealous?" I tease, smiling.
"Shut up." She says, pulling away from my grasp, "Anyways, your five minutes are up."
"Really?"
"Really." She replies firmly. I scoot closer to her our faces near inches apart. I look in to her eyes and smile.
"You won't give me some extra time?" I whisper. I lean in and meet her warm soft lips.. Soon enough we are in a heated make out session on her couch.
"I guess you can have a few more minutes."
Thanks :)
