Rocky
Maybe I should consider moving. Yeah, that's a good idea. When I saw Deuce I had a hunch that he was here to continue on our previous conversation. Why didn't he understand that sometimes you just need a break to gather you thoughts. This boy was stubborn, "Look Deuce, I told you-"
"Rocky, Just stop okay? Hear me out. I really like you and always have, I was just too much of a coward to tell you that before. I have a gut feeling that you feel the same way but our afraid to show it. I don't know if your worried you might get hurt, or rejected or anything like that but Rocky, I would never try to hurt you. You know that." He was right. I do like him. But I don't want to ruin my friendship with Dina, dating her ex is just asking for trouble!
He continued. "You need to take down your wall. You always worry about other people and do things in their favor while pushing your own feelings inside. Pushing your feelings behind that wall. It doesn't hurt to worry about yourself sometimes." I hadn't noticed before but his eyes were once again soft and caring. I slowly walked over to the bed and sat next to him, but I kept my gaze glued to the floor. "I-I don't know Deuce...I just can't. What about Dina and-"
"Who cares what Dina thinks! I don't like Dina. I never have and I never will. Rocky, you worry about others happiness too much. Why don't you focus on your own." I really did think about what Deuce said. This sounded nothing like him, I guess he was really coming out of his way to tell me this. He was putting his heart on the line. "Deuce I think-" A knock on the door cut me off.
"Rocky! I need to borrow your computer!" I heard Ty yell from behind the door. He was constantly using it. He broke his five days after he got it so he always ask for mine. He needs to get his lazy self up and go buy himself a new one! "One second!" No Ty has lived with me for as long as I can remember so he knows that one second in Rocky Time can quickly turn into seventy-two minutes. I did the math. "Rocky I need it now!" He yelled. "Tyler Blue, if you don't leave this instant I will destroy all of your Princess Leia action figures!" Ty used to LOVE Princess Leia whenever I teased him about hit he always says, "She protects the galaxy!" Instead of hearing numerous other pleas I heard retreating footsteps outside the door. That boy is pathetic.
I turned to look at Deuce once again, irritation slightly sketched on his features. Unlike last time, I knew he wasn't going to leave without a answer. Wether it's the one he wants to hear or not. "I have somewhere to be." He replied cockily. "Deuce I dont-"
"It's fine Rocky, I've heard the just fiends speech before."
With that he slowly got off my bed and made his way towards the door. Why couldn't he just let me finish! I wasn't going to say that! I ran up to him from behind, turned him around by his shoulder, gathered all my courage and did the only thing I think would get through to him. I kissed him.
He was petrified at first I thought I had mistaken him for a statue but I guess once he processed what was happening he began to kiss back. I removed my arms from his shoulders and put them around his neck. His arms found there way to my waist. Not wanting for this to become to heated I broke the kiss and looked him in the eye.
"Jeez Deuce! I was going to say that I liked you too, but I think that we should keep this a secret until Dina gets over you. That girl can be a monster if you get on her bad side."
"I know that first hand." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before ushering him to the window. "You should get going." He only nodded but once he got one foot out there he turned around, "What does this make us?"
I tapped my finger on my chin and pretended to think, "I don't like labels."
"Neither do I", he responded with a smirk.
He jumped completely out of my window and onto the platform outside. With a quick wave he climbed down the ladder, the night consuming him whole. I couldn't help the smile that was slowly creeping on my face as I examined the spot where he just was. I sat down on my bed and stared at the ceiling, "This is going to be a interesting semester."
