He Said, He Said

~Christmas~

Chapter 2

Kevin Said:

I hadn't seen her house in a few weeks, so I was pretty shell shocked when I saw it. It was fucking ridiculous really. Fake snow and lit up icicles hanging up on the roof. Mechanical reindeer on the yard. Wreaths, lit up Christmas tree, Nativity scene...I rolled my eyes and got out of the car, instantly regretting the fact that I didn't bring a heavy jacket with me. But whatever, you, know? I was going into her house anyway.

I knocked on the door and within three seconds, Gwen opened it. I stifled a laugh at the flannel pink pajamas she was wearing and her messy hair. "Well don't you look-"

"Shut it Levin. You aren't seeing me at my best time. Or my worst," she sighed heavily. She wiped her eyes and snarled a yawn. "Come in. You're letting all the warm air outside." I followed her orders eagerly and got inside within a nanosecond. Once she shut the door and I got caught up in the homey smell of sugar cookies baking and Christmas-themed scented candles. It smelled incredible in this house, no matter how many times I came here. "Yes, we're baking cookies, and yes, Christmas isn't for a week, I know that. My school is having a bake sale and I wanted to help out."

"Well isn't that nice of you," I smirked. She stuck out her tounge out at me like a five year old and I laughed. "It is. Really. Smells great. Now, tell me...what was with all the phone calls and text messages?"

"I wanted to talk to you, but you weren't picking up and I got pissed."

"Obviously."

"What were you even doing? Sleeping in?"

"Ben let me go to his house and fix my car in his garage."

Gwen's expression softened. "Oh. So...did you two..." She made a face and growled at the awkwardness. "I don't know...talk?"

"Talk about what exactly?"

She lifted up two fingers and intertwined them, giving me a pointed expression. It took me a while to get it and my face heated. "Oh. No."

"Shit!" she breathed, throwing her arms up in the air. I rose an eyebrow.

"What?"

"We broke up for a reason Kevin!"

"...Because you thought I was irresponsible?"

"NO! Jesus effing Christ, I wanted you and Ben to get together! That's why!"

I frowned. Somewhere in the back of my mind I had thought of that, but the thought was too ridiculous. Guess it was true. "But why?"

"The googly eyes! The frustration in his eyes when I was with you! Of course I thought it was just because I was dating his old arch-enemy but it was more than that! I could tell! I knew it and that's why I broke up with you." She paused, her expression thoughtful. "OK. The irresponsibilty had a wee bit a part of that too but, still."

I absorbed every bit of information that she had given to me. Then it all clicked together. "I...thought you liked me."

She rolled her eyes. "I did. Hense the past tense did. But you love him. It's obvious." Before I could even take another breath, she briskly changed the subject with an innocent smile. "Now. How about some sugar cookies?"


A/N: Ugh. Short. But Ben's part is coming up! ;D REVIEW!
