I couldn't sleep at all last night and it was all because of those damn eyes of Angry Eyes. I tried to think of where I saw them before but I just couldn't come up with anything….That has never happen to me before and it made me very, very grumpy for the rest of the next morning.
I even went home before Logan woke up….which I didn't think would hurt him, till later and that made me even more grumpy, and angry at myself. Which lead me to where I am now...
"One, Two, Three"
I said as I pushed the fifty pound weight back up. I have been at this gym since it opened, which was at four in the morning and it was now noon. Thank god I didn't have school today or I would have been killed by The Knight parents, school wise at least.
Which didn't really matter to me but to Logan it did and I was pretty sure he would nag me about it for the rest of the day.
"If he still wants to be my friend after what I pulled"
I thought as I pulled the weight down a little too hard and it hit my chest, knocking the wind out of me. After a few minutes I could breathe a little better and I pushed the weight off my chest.
As I went to sit up, I saw the eyes that have taken up my mind since I came to Minnesota….Angry Eyes.
"Okay, Thanks"
Angry Eyes said to the lady behind the counter, who looked a little star struck at seeing him. I guess he must be very popular in this town. But I should have known that from yesterday and his little group in the hallway.
I watched as he walked over to the treadmill and got on it, putting his water bottle he had in his hand down on the ground beside it. He then pushed a button on the treadmill and then he started jogging. I couldn't help but watch as his shirt rid up and-
"James we can't"
He scooted away from me on his now unmade bed, breathing heavily from our intense kisses. But I pulled him by his belt back, making his shirt go up and show off his sun kissed skin. I burned my eyes into his and I pressed a passionate kiss to his lips, muttering against them.
"We can too"
I shook my head at the memories and I got even more confused….ever since I came here, more and more memoires of "Him" have been coming up. This never happens, not since the last time I seen "Him" anyway.
But now they were happening more often and for no reason….which was even confusing and that was making me grumpy all over again. Great. Another rerun of earlier.
I groaned and I leaned over the bench and I grabbed the weight again. This time I was planning on going harder on myself then before, just to make sure I get everything out of my system.
I pushed it up extra hard, once I had a steady hold of it, and then pulled it down just as hard but I was careful on not to knock the wind out of me again. I REALLY didn't want that again. After a while I put the weight back on the bar and I sat up, loving the feeling of soreness in my arms. It made me feel relaxed and calm.
"Fuck!"
I heard from the other side of the gym. I looked over that way and I saw Angry Eyes staring down at his phone, running his hand through his hair. He was now standing on the ground and not the treadmill anymore, looking horribly frustrated. I decided to make myself known at that moment and I said loudly, looking over at him with a smirk.
"I'm taking a guess that either you were suppose to be somewhere right now or you just got a horrible text"
He looked up at me and glared, a very heated glare I might add. Now his friend's glare might have not affected me but his sure did. It sent a chill up and down my spine.
And I didn't know if it was a pleasurable one or not. But it sure did make me even more curious, if possible, about him and why he affected me the way he did.
"It's none of your business Diamond"
He growled out and I couldn't help but smirk. He was getting defensive, which means I was right on one of them. Being alive for two hundred years helps, it gave me a long time to learn how to read people. Which came in handy at times like this.
"Your right, it isn't but I just wanted to know what is troubling you….but I guess you don't want help"
I said getting up, grabbing my jacket from the ground, which I threw off me the minute I got to the gym. And I went to leave. But I heard Angry Eyes yell behind me
"Wait!"
I turned around and I looked back at him with a look that said "I'm waiting". I knew in the back of my mind I wouldn't leave if he didn't tell me, I was way too curious. Something that for many years I was told would kill me by hundreds of people, which is impossible because I can't die, but still, it was something that got me in trouble from time to time. Probably like now.
He walked towards me and once he was close enough to me, he grabbed my arm, a little too tight for my liking but Hey, what say did I have in it, and he started dragging me towards the shower rooms.
I would be lying if dirty thoughts didn't start going through my mind at that moment….A lot of dirty thoughts. Even with my age, I still had the hormones of a sixteen year boy, which my body was kind of still frozen at that age and will forever be.
Once we got in there, which we were alone I might add, he let me go and turned to me, looking very nervous. I leaned against the wall with my arms cross, giving him my full attention…well most of it, my mind still had dirty thoughts in it.
"My…..M-My…"
He tried saying but it looked like he couldn't really get it out, or that if he wasn't sure if he wanted to tell me. I mean why would he, He didn't even know more then a day. I was a stranger. But I still said
"You're what?"
I leaned forward, so that we were at the least, two inches from each other. Which seemed to make Angry Eyes uncomfortable but I didn't care, I liked being this close. It gave me a perfect view of his eyes.
He gulped loudly and shifted his eyes downwards, whispering out
"M-My b-boyfriend….is cheating on m-me"
My eyes widen, and before I could stop myself, which doesn't happen very often, I blurted out
"You're gay?"
That seemed to piss him off and he walked straight out of the showers, without another word. I kicked the wall, standing there for a minute because that fucking hurt my foot, and then I ran after him.
I fucked up. I said the wrong thing and I probably just ruined my chances of figuring this kid out.
I was almost too late when I caught up with him, he was just opening the door to go out to the parking lot.
"Hey, wait!"
I yelled after him, running up to him. I grabbed his arm once I got near him and I held him place.
Which didn't really seem to make him happy at all, it actually made him more pissed and he went to take a swing at me with his other arm.
Thank god I moved just in time and he hit the wall instead. Angry Eyes wasn't so lucky though. Since he hit the wall…..
"FUCKING STUPID ASS! AH FUCK ST-"
"Mr. Knight! Language!"
We both turned around to see some Mexican lady with her arms cross, all sweaty and wearing tight gym clothes, looking at Angry Eyes with a very stern look. She looked like my mom did when she was mad at me…..But not as scary. But I don't think anyone could be as scary as her.
"Mrs. Garcia! I'm so-"
Angry Eyes tried to say but Mrs. Garcia cut in
"I'm going to be calling your parents, I don't think they will be pleased that their Christian son has a sailor's mouth"
And with that, she walked back towards a treadmill, pulling her phone…out of her sports-bra, most likely to call the Knights. I wrinkled my face at the scene. I now know why I am gay….Women are weird creatures that I want NOTHING to do with. Well romantically anyway.
And from the looks of it Angry Eyes felt the same way, because he looked like he threw up a little. I would have laughed if I didn't think that would piss him off more. I have already did my fair share of that today. I don't want to press my luck.
"So….Your parents are Christians?"
I decided to start out. Sure I wanted to know everything about the boy but I knew I had to start on a light subject, because the heavy stuff got us to where we are now, his hand most likely hurts like hell and he will probably get in trouble by his parents.
"Yeah and now all because of you I will be in more fucking trouble!"
I guess the light subjects are bad too. You would think I would know what to do in situations like this after all these years, but I really don't have a clue. I did not know how to act without being a jerk. I was sarcastic, not a peacemaker. But it seems if I want to get to know him I would have to change my ways.
Which did not sound appealing in the slightest but I have to do what I have to do, to get what I want. Plus my curiosity for this kid was too much to handle. I was already in too far to go back.
"Actually you were the one that decided to go all boxer on me, but that is besides the point. I'm sorry"
Angry Eyes looked at me confused, and a little suspicious. Probably because I said sorry, for something that was not my fault at all. In any way. But I knew I had to calm him down fast, or he would end up hating me.
And that was the last thing I wanted.
If he started hating me, I would be back to square one. And again, that was not what I wanted.
"Its okay…I guess"
Angry Eyes said, still looking at me carefully. Probably thinking I had a motive for it…Which I kinda did but probably not what he thought.
I decided that it was best if I didn't stick around after that, I caused enough trouble as it is. So I smiled my brightest smile and I said
"Well I guess I got to be going, see ya Angry Eyes"
I pushed opened the door and I was just about to take the first step out of the gym, when I felt Angry eyes jerk me back.
I would have gone flying into the wall, if it wasn't for Angry Eyes holding me steady to the ground. I looked at him confused, but before I could ask him what he wanted, he said
"You won't tell anyone about you know?..."
I shook my head and I said, looking straight at him.
"Who would I tell? I'm the new one here, the only friend I have here is Logan, and I don't even know if he is my friend now"
Angry Eyes still looked at me with the same look as before, a look that said he was serious and he wasn't going to let me go till I said I wouldn't tell a soul.
I rolled my eyes as I said
"I won't tell anyone, I will even do a blood oath if that will make you feel better?"
I accidentally blurted out the last part without thinking. Another thing I don't do, but it seems I do it a lot with Angry Eyes.
"Blood oath? What's that?"
Angry eyes said, with confusion laced all in his voice.
"Its something that was my history class, did-dn't you listen?"
I said, trying not to sound like I was lying, but the end of it ended up sounded like I was. Which of course, I was but he didn't need to know that.
"My history class didn't have any blood oaths in it, do you have AP history or something?"
I nodded and I said
"Yeah, I take AP history, that's how I know what a blood oath is"
Angry Eyes seem to buy it, because he said
"Makes sense, anyway do you mean it that you won't tell anyone?"
I nodded, this time resisting the urge to roll my eyes at how desperate he sounded.
"Yeah I mean it, now could you let go of my arm?"
Angry Eyes must of didn't notice that he still had a hold of my arm, because he looked between me and where his hand was wrapped around my arm a few time, before he let go of it quickly.
Once I could finally move, I said to him
"Now that is out of the way, I know break-ups are hard…so do you want to go to go hang out at the drive-in or something?"
I had no idea how to ask a friend to go somewhere. Not in this day and age. I didn't even know if they still had drive-ins or that "hanging out" was what teens say, but I gave it a shot, hoping it was.
"Sure, anything is better then having Carlos and Jett asking me what's wrong all the time"
Oh yeah the jerks. I almost forgot about them being his friends, which was kind of hard after what they did to me and Logan but it was put to the back of my mind today. But I nodded my head anyway, and I pushed open the door, again but this time I was able to go out of it without being swung backwards. Which I was grateful for, really grateful.
I could hear Angry Eyes footstep's behind me as I was walking to my car. And I couldn't help but smile confidently. I was one step closer to figuring everything out.
Once we got to my car, Angry Eyes said
"I don't think so. If we are going somewhere, we are taking MY car, not your girly car"
I turned my head to him and I glared, and I said
"My car is not a girly car, which that was racist by the way, but okay, let's take your precious jeep"
I could see his smug grin in the corner of my eyes, and I couldn't help but remember that same grin on someone else….but I couldn't think of the person.
"Of course I can't, I haven't been able to figure out anything else of Angry Eyes. How would I figure out this?"
I thought, sarcastically, as we walked in an awkward silence to his jeep. This all becoming frustrating, I wanted to know what all this was, and why it was familiar to me. I mean I never seen Angry Eyes before I came here, but there was something familiar to him.
"I just don't know what it is…yet…"
I thought as we got to his jeep and Angry Eyes pulled his keys out of his pants pocket. He then unlocked the jeep and opened his car door, right before he jumped in the jeep and shut the door.I then opened the door on my side and got in.
I took one look at the inside of his jeep, and I knew he was messy teen. He had hockey gear everywhere, homework books scattered everywhere, and was that a condom wrapper?
If this is how boy's cars are now days….I feel sorry for their mothers.
I bucked my seatbelt anyway, even though I really wanted to ride in my car at that moment, and I waited for him to start the car. He did, after turned on his stereo and blasting it up to the max. I didn't know what the song was called for sure, but I had a feeling it was called "Burn" And it was really loud.
As he started driving, I felt my pants pocket in my sweats start to vibrate. Even though I could tell Angry Eyes wanted to say something about it, he didn't and I pulled it out of my pocket to see I got a message from Logan. I opened it nervously, because I was hoping I didn't hurt the boy when I left this morning.
"Where are u? –L"
I quickly wrote back
"Leaving the gym, I'm sorry that I left so early, I wasn't feeling good –J"
But after the message sent, my phone decided to shut off. It was dead….I think. I heard one girl at school say that when her phone did that a few years ago anyway.
I put it back into my pants pocket and I turned back to Angry Eyes, who was now rocking out to a different song called the "Good Life" By some people called Three Days Grace.
I smirked and I leaned back in my seat, which was black leather, and I continued to watch him rock out. It was kind of like an erotic dance of it own, his hair swaying all over the place, showing off his beautiful green eyes, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel, and his lips mimicking the words of the song.
He was like a god in his own way.
"You really love music, don't you?"
I said amused, but that made him stop and he said, shooting me a glare.
"Shut up Diamond"
But there was a blush on his face, which meant he was embarrassed. And as much as I want to make a witty comment, I didn't. I don't think that would be a great way to become friends with someone. So I just said
"So where are we going?"
He just shrugged and he said, taking one look at me quickly before looking forward to the road again.
"To the diner up by the lake, the only lake that is in this town by the way, it's about twenty miles"
I nodded and I said, looking out the window at all the trees flashing by in a fast motion.
"Sounds great"
"It is…I have been going there since I was a kid"
He said in a tone of voice that made me turn my head back to him, there was some kind of sadness in it that made me curious about the place. It seemed to have a sentimental meaning to him. And I wanted to know what it was.
"Maybe he will tell me when we get there"
I thought. I then went back to looking out the window, it was snowing this time of year and from what Logan told me, it was really, really cold in the fall and winter. It reminded me of "Him"
"James!"
He laughed as we rolled around in the snow, making him end landing on top of me. Our faces inches apart from each other's. Both of our faces were pale white because of the cold, while our cheeks were rosy red. But as I looked deep into his eyes, seeing nothing but happiness and love, I couldn't help but feel a warm sensation in my heart. I smiled softly and I said, closing the distance between our lips.
"I love you"
"Diamond…Diamond!...JAMES!"
I jumped, slightly startled, and I looked over at Angry Eyes as I said
"What?"
He pointed ahead of us, and I turned my head to the direction of where he was pointing, and I saw that we were at the diner by the lake already.
"We're here airhead"
He said, taking off his seatbelt once we parked in the parking lot. I didn't say anything at the comment, mostly because I still wanted to know what was so special about this place. I took my seatbelt off also and I got out of the car.
I then walked to the front of the car, and I waited for Angry eyes to lock the doors.
Once he did that, we made our way to the diner through the snow. I kept my eyes on Angry Eyes the whole time, watching carefully for any emotions to flash through his eyes. But none did. Which to tell the truth, kind of disappointed me.
"So what was your boyfriend's name?"
I said as we walked up the steps to the diner, which looked kind of like a cabin. If I wasn't going to get the story to this place, I at least wanted to know the story to his boyfriend.
"His name is Jack, he is the "Bad Boy" of our rival school"
I nodded, now understanding what he saw in this Jack. Not only do girls fall for the bad boys, boys do too. I know I sure did when I really was suppose to be sixteen. His name was Jesse James. Back then he was just an everyday teen doing petty crimes….but now he is history, for being an outlaw and a murderer.
"So his charm and being on the edge made you want him I'm guessing? Knowing your parents would kill you for it"
I said knowingly as I opened the door to the diner. I didn't have to look back to know he was looking at me shocked. I could tell by the quiet gasp I heard.
"Yeah…how did you know that?"
I heard him say, and I turned my head back to look at him as I said
"Because I was in love with a bad boy myself"
I knew he wanted to say something after that but since we were now in the diner, with other people, he wouldn't dare say anything.
I then turned my head forward, but not before smirking slightly at the fish look Angry Eyes had. His mouth all gapping and his eyes wide. I would have laughed but I, for the same reason Angry Eyes won't say anything at the moment, didn't want people looking at me like I was a nut in a nut home.
"How may I-Kendall! Is that you? God you look more like your father every time I see you"
An older waitress said to Angry Eyes, walking up to him and wrapping him in a warm hug. Making me feel slightly awkward, because I had no idea who this woman was.
"It is nice to see you Kathy, Thanks and it's only been a year"
Angry Eyes said, and I saw something for the first time since meeting him….his smile. It was gorgeous, it made his whole face even more beautiful, if possible.
Another first…my breath was taken away, I had no words.
"So who is your handsome little friend?"
The lady said pulling back from Angry Eyes, smiling a smile at me that reminded me of Mrs. Knight.
But as I looked at her more closely….she looked a lot like Mrs. Knight…it was almost like they were twins, but this lady looked younger.
"My name is James, James Diamond Ma'am"
I smiled my best smile, as always, and I took her hand in mine and I kissed the top of it, looking into her eyes to add to the charm.
It worked, because she blushed like a teenage girl who just met their favorite boy singer. She then said
"Nice to meet you Mr. Diamond, Call me Kat, ma'am makes me sound old"
Still smiling my best smile, I said, letting go of her hand.
"You are far from old, you're as beautiful as any model, maybe even more"
Kathy laughed, blushing, and she shagged my hair.
"A charmer you are, not many flatterers are as young as you unless they want a free meal"
Young….To her I was young, but to me she was the young one. Really young. If only she knew, she wouldn't feel that way.
I could see in the corner of my eyes Angry Eyes looking at us with an annoyed look, rolling his eyes all at the same time.
But I focused my attention back on Kathy for the moment and I said
"I can promise you I do not charm you for a free meal, you are truly a beautiful woman"
She blushed harder and swatted me playfully with her towel she had in her apron just a moment ago. I went to say something about it when Angry Eyes cleared his throat, and he said
"Kathy I hate to break this up but I kind of want to go get a seat before all the good view ones get taken"
Kathy nodded and she went back to being professional when she said
"Of course, now follow me to your seats"
She started making her way to the back of the diner, with me and Angry eyes following behind her.
As we were walking, I looked around the diner. The walls were painted a cozy brown, the floors were wooden and it was more like a fancy restaurant, then a diner by a lake. I couldn't see what was so special about this place, there was nothing eye-catching about it.
Well there wasn't till we got to our seats.
The view was amazing….it was like looking out at a winter wonderland.
"Beautiful isn't?"
Kathy said, smiling at me knowingly. I could Angry Eyes also looking at me with a smug grin…but I could see something under it, excitement. Excitement of me seeing this, like a kid showing their best friend their secret hiding place for the first time.
It made something flutter inside of me…..something I thought that died along time ago. I knew that feeling all to well but there was no way I would admit I was feeling this way for Angry eyes ever. Sure he was cute but he was a cocky asshole teenager, thinking he knew everything when he knew nothing. I am two hundred years old but I still don't know much.
"Yeah, beautiful…."
I said as I slid into the booth, which Angry Eyes said were "seats". Kathy pulled out our menus out of her apron, handing them to us after.
But as I was reading mine, Angry eyes said, handing his menu back without reading it.
"I just want the usual please"
Kathy smiled and nodded, taking Angry Eyes menu and she told us she would be back once I figured out what I wanted. I nodded, shooting her a smile as she left. Once she was gone I turned back to Angry Eyes, who was now looking out the huge windows…with the look I was waiting to see when we were walking up to this place.
It held sadness, and you could tell there was a lot of memories here. So I decided to ask
"Ang-Kendall….does this place have a special meaning to you?"
Angry Eyes looked at me suddenly and he said
"Yeah it does, but I thought us hanging out wasn't about getting dragged down and being sad?"
Right now I really wished I didn't say something like that when I asked us to hang out…..Because I really wanted to know what was the mystery to this place.
But I lied and I said
"Yeah, your right. Today is about having fun"
Angry Eyes smug grin came back and he said
"If it's possible with you"
I rolled my eyes, looking back at my menu. And the cocky teen was back, making that flutter go away. Which I was grateful for the time being, because I did not want to have feelings for someone that will die in another fifty years, I was NOT going to make that mistake twice. Not over my forever living body.
After a while I picked what I wanted, a cheeseburger and fries, with a mountain dew.
Which I was shocked only minutes later after ordering, that Kathy bought out our food hot and ready to be eaten. And I was even more shocked at how the food smelled so good.
Angry Eyes said it is always like this, after Kathy left that is, and that this place was faster at getting food done then any fast food place in town.
"Damn this is good"
I moaned out as I took a bite of my cheeseburger. It was better then any cheeseburger I have ever had.
"This place is the best"
Angry Eyes said with his smug grin lighting up his face. I rolled my eyes and I took another bite of my cheeseburger.
Angry Eyes started eating his food too, which was just a hamburger and fries, with a coke. His usual I guess.
"So where are you from?"
Angry Eyes asked me as I was taking a huge bite out of my cheeseburger. He had to pick that moment to ask me something….well isn't this lovely.
Angry Eyes laughed as I tried to swallow my food quickly to answer the question, and he said
"Slow down pretty boy, before you kill yourself"
Yeah, like that was possible. I tried that when my whole family died. It didn't work….Wait did he call me pretty?
Once I swallowed everything down, I said
"I'm from Greece, and you think I'm pretty? I'm so flattered"
I said, smirking as a blush appeared on his face.
"N-No, that's not what I meant! I-"
He tried to stutter out, but I cut him off and I said
"Its fine, I think you are hot too"
Both our eyes widen at the comment. That was not what I meant to say at all. I meant to say something that would embarrass him, not the both of us!
"That wasn't, I mean I didn't, y-oh just forget it"
I gave up trying to find the right words to say and I just looked at Angry Eyes nervously.
The look he had on his face didn't help my nerves at all, he looked shell-shocked, like he had no words for what I just said. And to tell the truth, I didn't either.
Because I did not mean to say what I did….sure I was thinking it, but I wasn't going to say it out loud!
"I'm sorry. I-"
"No its fine, it just shocked me….it was a nice ego boost, thanks"
I relaxed and I rolled my eyes. I then said
"Like your ego needs to get any bigger"
Angry eyes glared at me….but it didn't have the same annoyed feel to it anymore…it was more playful.
And that made the fluttering come back. Fuck. Well isn't this dandy.
I decided to shut up after that, and continue to eat, in silence.
Which, I don't know if it was just my mind going into overdrive, but I swear that disappointed Angry Eyes.
But right now, I didn't care about figuring out him, or the mystery behind him…..Not when I was having feelings for him I swore I wouldn't feel for anyone ever again….not after what happen with "Him".
I wanted to go back to Logan's house. Now.
But part of me….didn't.
"I have known this kid two days and he is already making my head spin"
I thought as I finished my food. I looked over at Angry Eyes and I saw he was done too. But he was looking back out the windows with the same distant look he had when we first sat down.
But now I knew if I really wanted to know whatever is behind that look, I would have to wait till he was ready to tell me.
Which could take a long time. A real long time and that didn't sound pleasant to me.
I scooted out of my side of the booth and I got up, all the while Angry Eyes didn't even notice. Which I couldn't figure out if that was good or bad yet.
"Hey….I think I'm gonna go outside...Kay?"
I said, and Angry Eyes nodded. Not really paying attention to what I was saying.
I bit my lip, debating on going or staying. My good side won and I said to Angry Eyes, putting my hand on his shoulder and shaking him lightly.
"Hey, Angry Eyes. Come on, let's go"
He turned his head to me and I was shocked at the sight I saw…he was crying. I forgot everything at that moment. I forgot my mission, I forgot what I swore I would never do…I forgot everything but him right then.
I sat down next to him and I wrapped my arms around him, cradling him like a small child and I pulled him in my lap, which was kind of hard with the table but we managed.
I was shocked when he hid his face in my shoulder and wrapped his arms around me tightly, like he never wanted to let go. I whisper it was going to okay over and over again. Even though I had no idea what was wrong.
"Kendall, what's wrong?"
I said softly, looking down at him.
He didn't say anything for a while. But when I went to ask again, he said, his voice thick with sobs.
"My parents aren't really my parents….my p-parents died when I was ten. T-They were murdered"
Now it was my turn to be shocked beyond words. I couldn't believe it…No wonder the school family thing didn't add up to me. It was because they weren't his parents.
I was brought back to the major issue at hand though when Angry Eyes said, desperately
"P-Please…say something"
I look at him softly and I said, holding him closer, not caring about all the people looking at us.
"There isn't anything to say, other then I am sorry…and even then, that doesn't sum it up….that is horrible"
Angry Eyes nodded, wiping the tears from his eyes. I finally knew why this place was so special to him…his parents probably took him here when he was a kid.
I ran my hands up and his arms, trying to comfort him. It worked…somewhat. But he was still crying.
I sighed and I did a risky thing…I kissed his forehead. That made him gasp, and he looked up at me with big doe eyes. I smiled nervously and I said
"I did that to comfort you, sorry if it was a little much"
He shook his head, and he said
"No, i-it was fine. Thank you"
I nodded and for the next ten minutes we sat there, in silence. But this time it was a comfortable one, not awkward.
Our eyes were locked the whole time and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel anything. But I didn't know if I wanted to act on these feelings. I didn't want that heartache again.
"So cash or-Oh my! I'm sorry, I can come back"
We both jumped at Kathy's voice and we tried to pull apart but the table got in the way of that…So we were kind of stuck, with Angry eyes on my lap and me with my arms wrapped around him. In a romantic position.
This was awkward.
"No Kathy! This isn't, I mean he was-"
Kathy cut Angry Eyes off and she said
"Its fine, really honey, he seems like a nice boy. I'm glad you finally found someone that will treat you right"
Angry eyes cheeks turned bright red, and he tried wiggling his way off my lap, but again the table made him stick to where he was.
Kathy smiled at us both and she started walking back to the kitchen of the diner, but not before she called back to us.
"Oh, and don't worry about paying, the food is on the house"
Me and Angry eyes mumbled a quick "Thanks" and we tried to pull away from the other…And again it didn't work.
And it was now hurting….umm…down there. Badly.
"Angry Eyes hurry up!"
"Shut up Diamond! I'm trying"
Angry Eyes growled out, still embarrassed. Well there went the mood. Or maybe it already was gone when down there starting hurting. But one thing was for sure, we were back to the way we were. And I didn't know if I liked it or not yet either.
"That was so fucking embarrassing!"
Angry Eyes exclaimed loudly as we made our way back to town. He has been saying this since we got unstuck, which took fifteen minutes by the way, and all the way to the car, in the car and on the drive back. It was really annoying me. Kids now days are annoying I realized. They think it's the end of the world if something little embarrasses them.
"OKAY! I get it! You were embarrassed! But why? I was just comforting you! There was nothing wrong with it. Its not like we like each other in a romantic way anyway"
For the first time since we got in this jeep, Angry Eyes was silent. And I really wished he wasn't. Not right now, not after I said that.
But he was, and I had to ask why. As always.
"You don't….do you?"
Again Angry Eyes said nothing. Which did not help at all. It only made my forever beating heart, speed up.
And then I heard the words I didn't think I wanted to hear.
"Yeah…I like you that way. Even though I wished I didn't and even though we just met. Also I have known my boyfriend has been cheating on me for a while, even though it still fucking hurts, I just said yes to go somewhere with you…because I never felt like I could be me with anyone, but with you I can. It's weird as hell but I like it…a lot"
I gulped loudly, trying to get words out. Any words. But I couldn't, because my throat felt like it was closing up. All I could do was look at those big green eyes with my mouth gapping open and close.
I know I must have not looked attractive at the moment but I didn't care. My mind was going in circles.
I wanted to figure him out but not fall for him….I can't, I wouldn't. Not after the last time.
"Please. I know we haven't known each other that long. But say something. Make or break me…but say something damn it"
I finally did say something after that.
"Kendall..."
He looked at me, shocked that I used his real name. Which I had to admit, shocked me too.
Our eyes locked and I don't know what happen or what made me think of doing it, but I leaned forward and I pressed our lips together.
I thanked whatever god there is out there that I did that when it was a red light. But our kiss was short lived because once the light turned green, the people behind us started honking.
We pulled apart with different looks on our faces, Angry eyes was happy, and he had a huge blush on his face.
Mine….well I was shocked and for the first time in a while…scared.
But Angry eyes didn't have time to see that, because he was already looking forward at the road, driving.
"How did this day go from us arguing and fighting…to us kissing and sharing?"
I thought, leaning back in my seat. Living two hundred years has not made me any less confused and frustrated with stuff that comes to the heart. I think it made me even more confused if anything.
We didn't say anything the rest of the way back to the gym to get my car.
It was awkward…it was just filled with lots of tension. Lots, and lots of tension.
All because of my teenage hormones. My forever teenage hormones. And his damn eyes. Those beautiful deep green eyes.
"We're here"
Angry Eyes said once he parked next to my car at the gym. It was now dark and close to midnight. And to top it off, no one was here but me and Angry Eyes. Great.
I turned to him, to see him looking at me nervously, but he tried to hide it, not well I might add. Today showed me a different side of Angry Eyes. The real side, not the fake cocky side he puts up for everyone.
So even though our age difference is HUGE.
And I still didn't know much about the kid.
Or if I even wanted to chance the same mistake I made years ago.
But at the moment, with him gazing at me the way he was. I didn't care about any of it, well I did a little but that didn't matter.
I still kissed him with everything I had. Again.
