Chapter 3 –Thinking of You, Saturday January 21st

William

I rolled over on my bed. What was the time? 1:00 pm. Damn, I should be getting up, but I'm so tired. The party ended at 1:00 am and I spent hours in my bed, trying to figure out what me and Delilah had shared and what she was thinking? Was I just another cute guy she could make out with? Or did she actually have feelings for me? I was very confused. Her lips were so soft and tasted like every taste I love. Her skin was smooth and her fingers were entwined in mine. I'm trying not to think about her, but it's so hard. She's so amazing, and I'm not talking about only her looks, she is sweet and fun and smart as well, unlike most of the bimbos in our school. Like Autumn. She was a good shag, but pretty much just that. Me and Autumn dated a while, a few months before but we both decided we weren't for each other. Thank god she wasn't one of those girls who hates you for ever after you break up. Me and Autumn are pretty good friends now, but I haven't told her about how I feel about Delilah. Autumn is a nice girl, but her mouth is a little big for my liking. Suddenly, I heard music playing. For a few seconds, I didn't know what it was until I remembered it was my phone! I jumped out of bed and ran to my desk. Maybe it was Delilah phoning that she had broken up with Jack? I know it isn't a nice thing to wish for my best mate, but I want Delilah so much! It was Jack.

"Hey mate. How'd it go?" I asked breathlessly. Did I want to know the answer?

"Oh man. I thought I'd get something tonight, but nothing. What is this girl? A She Devil?" Jack was pissed.

"Relax. She just broke up with her boyfriend. She's vulnerable." I felt Jack sighing. Me and Jack are friends, even though we're so different. Jack is a very typical Jack-the-lad. He never stays with one girl long time. I think that his longest relationship was about 3 weeks. World record. All of the girls think that THEY can change him. They never can.

On the other hand, girls think I'm sweet. Not always the good thing. My longest relationship has been 4 months. But the girl, Sadie, left. I was sad, but nothing compared to this, even though I did love Sadie.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that me and Jack are both popular with the girls. So is our friend, Chris, even though he has never ever had a girlfriend and it doesn't look like it's going to change. But I think Chris has done more girls than me and Jack put together. It's pretty sad, actually. Going back to the main subject, Jack didn't get any. Which means that Delilah didn't want to. Is it become of me or her ex boyfriend Kurt? I mean to find out. I got off the phone with Jack and sent Delilah a text, asking if we could meet up, but she didn't answer. I think Jack is right, she really is a She Devil. I had a shower and went out on my bike. San Francisco winters always suck. It never is really cold, but in Canada it's amazing, they have tones of snow. Me and the boys always go and snowboard. I wonder if Delilah snowboards?

Anyway, I decided to go to the park, as it has some really nice places where I like to lie down and think. As I was lazing under the tree, my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was a text from Delilah. It read: I see you. I was puzzled. What did that mean? I looked around and saw her grinning under another tree. I jumped up and walked over to her.

"Hey. How did you know I was going to be here?" Stupid question. Maybe she just liked this park?

"I stalk you when you're not looking," she grinned and giggled, "No, just joking. I just like coming here. I live real close, so I usually walk here. I didn't know you were here, I just saw you now."

"Hey. You have black circles under your eyes. Why?" Oh my god. Again. Stupid question. What happened to me in her company? My words flowed way too easily. I saw her gulp.

"Sorry, I just spent all night thinking of you. It's complicated. Look, I really like you, but I don't think anything should happen between us yet. It's too soon. Maybe in time?" I didn't want to hear her talk anymore so I just kissed her.

Chapter 4 – Our Secret, Monday 22nd January

Delilah

I couldn't do it. I felt bad for Jack but I couldn't. I called Danae to come and pick me up at 3 in the morning. I told Jack it was over. I didn't want to be with anyone. Well, not strictly anyone, just not with Jack. Mean of me, I know, but still. What a bitch I am.

I was so glad to run into William. I thanked god that I was one of those girls to dress well for nearly every event. I am pretty vain, I admit. I was wearing some new Juicy Couture grey jogging pants and a black tank with a giant red lip print. My lips looked the same, as I had gotten some new red lip gloss. When we kissed, it was really magical. I can't say it any other way. But we didn't want to get together publicly, so we've just decided to keep it a little quite. I got a bit worried that Jack would hate William because of it, but he said that Jack will get over it soon enough. Still we didn't know each other well, so I invited him over to my house on Sunday.

"Wow, it's really big. Is it only you are your sister?" he asked, looking around.

"Yeah, but we have a big yard, because of our horses. We have three, Blanche, Celia and Hunter. Blanche is mine" I smiled.

"Awesome. I love horses but our yard is way too small to get one!" He said, sighing.

"I can teach you how to ride" I said and then I realized how wrong that sounded and started laughing again.

"Oh I'd LOVE you to teach me how to ride!" and he grabbed me in a body shattering hug and spun me round, laughing.

"Well, well. Who's this?" I heard my mother's voice behind me. Me and my mom have a close relationship, but me and my Grandma have closer and me a Danae, even closer. I smiled. My mom always was nice to my boyfriends so no worries. I made the introductions and I showed William my room and asked his opinion on what clothes I should wear to Katie's party, which is this Saturday. He rolled his eyes and asked me why the hell I was planning it now.

"Will! This is very important to me!" I turned around, pretending to be really sad. He actually fell for it until I jumped up and stuck my tongue out at him. I went to my wardrobe and started throwing things out. Little black dresses, cocktail dresses, leather jackets, jeans, shorts, tank tops, tube tops, tees and more. Will nearly drowned in the pile of clothes. I giggled.

"Sorry. But what do you think? I like this pink dress. But I have no shoes to go with it. Oh yeah, I need to go shopping for shoes, shall we go?"

"It's Sunday, Lila." I giggled again. I always seemed to be in a giggly mood around him. And he called me Lila! A guy calling you a nickname is always a good sign. I've never been called Lila, even though I asked people too. They just called me Deli and my bestie's sometimes called me Dee. Charming, no?

Well the day was great. This morning me and Will shared a secret smile. In the end, I picked a little black dress that had a ballerina looking skirt and some pink pumps and jewelry to go with it. It's going to look great, but as I still need make up me and Chelsea are going shopping tomorrow. Girly time! Chelsea is well on her way to becoming my best friend. I still don't know her very well, but she seems like a great girl. On the other hand, Hadley absolutely hates me and I have no clue why. I think she thinks I am a little but slutty, but then why is she friends with Chelsea? She is as much a slut as I am, but I like that. Makes her interesting and fun! I called Chelsea today as I was bored and I knew that Will was in the gym now. You might think it's a little gay but it's not, as he get's amazing biceps and triceps and all the ceps because of it! Not to mention brilliant washboard abs. He's about my height, I think a little taller, so he looks more man than boy and I love that. He's unlike Kurt in the way because Kurt was a bad boy like I see Jack. But Kurt loved me, I'm sure, so I don't think he cheated. Until Satine. Scheming bitch. But even Will isn't perfect. Today I discovered how he is really impatient and his temper lashes out very sharply. There's still so much I don't know and so much I hope to find out!

I still haven't told anyone about me and Will. We want to keep it low for a while.

"Hey Delilah, how's you?" Chelsea picked up, sounding happy and breezy, like always. That girl is never downhearted. What an optimist.

"Chelsea, hey! OK what are the time's for tomorrow?" We discussed that for a while and then I started wondering who Chelsea liked. She'd never told me, so I just asked her.

"Umm, well I'm not sure I'm comfortable telling you. See, not many people know and…" she said nervously.

"Oh Chelsea, come on! You know you can trust me." I begged. "I won't tell a soul".

"Fine. It's Jack." I gasped. "But know you tell me. What's going on between you and William?" I felt myself going red, even over the phone. But I could trust Chelsea, so I spilled everything.

"Chelsea, please don't tell though. We kind of want to keep it a secret for now." She promised she wouldn't and I believed her.
