Chapter 11: Nightmares from Fate Pt. 2
.:Aelita POV:.
Well, at first the bottle looked like it was gonna stop on Herb, but it turned a wee bit more, and so, I had to kiss Theo.
I started to panic. Oh boy, what's Jeremie gonna think? What if I actually like the kiss? And, I mean, come ON! Jer's my boyfriend! I will never forgive myself for this.
"Well, Aelita, looks like you have to kiss Theo..." said a sniggering Sissy. Why did I even invite her in the first place? I thought, confused with my reasons.
Theo slowly walked over to me, cupped my cheek and brought my face to his, until his lips came in contact with mine.
I felt a new surge of force rush through me. His tongue collided with mine and his arms found their way around my waist. I pulled myself closer to him and slid my arm around his neck, my hand playing with his hair. It was exhilarating, a feeling that I didn't want to go away.
But it suddenly subsided when my thoughts drifted to another boy who was watching us, and who didn't look too happy. Jeremie.
I reluctantly pulled away and smiled at Theo, blushing profusely.
He smiled back and winked at me. Then he walked back to his seat.
The rest of the game was merely a daze. I couldn't think of anything else but that one kiss Theo gave me. The sensation of his touch was still tingling on my lips.
I couldn't help but feel guilty about acting and thinking this way. I was already taken. Literally.
My first relationship with any guy was this one I shared with Jeremie. And I didn't want it to be screwed. I loved him a lot, but now I find myself day dreaming of someone else. And that gives me something to worry about.
But the thing that scared me the most, was the fact that I wanted to kiss him again...

- -Next Day- -
.:Normal POV:.
Aelita woke up early the next morning, still thinking of the kiss Theo gave her. She yawned climbed out of bed.
Dragging her feet on the carpet, she slowly made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. She twisted the knob and turned it on. She jumped slightly at the temperature, but quickly adjusted to it.
For a moment, she just stood there, confused and dazed. Life is too pressuring...

After breakfast, they all left to go to Jamestown.
There, they explored colonial life and learned about the lifestyles back then.
A few hours later, they left to a shopping district near the area to get food, souvenirs, and other items worth purchasing.
"Let's go to Starbuck's!" said Yumi, her hand intertwined with Ulrich's.
Aelita, Jeremie, Odd, Lia, and Ulrich all nodded as they turned into the shop.
Odd and Lia grabbed a table, while Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi went to get the drinks.
.:Aelita POV:.
The four of us got in line and waited for our turn. I watched the person in front of us, as he looked vaguely familiar. He turned around and smiled at me.
Oh God, not him... I thought. Yep, it was Theo.
Theo turned back around and ordered his drinks. Two white chocolate mocha frappuccinos. My personal favorite.
He grabbed the drinks and made his way over to me. He smiled again and handed me one of them.
"Heard these were your faves. Don't worry, it's on me. Catch ya later Aelita," he said, walking out the door.
I saw Jeremie watching him, burning holes in his back. If looks could kill, Theo would be dead 10 times over.
Yumi nudged me slightly. "What was that all about?" she whispered.
I closed my eyes and shook my head. "No idea."
I walked away, as I already had my drink, and met Odd and Lia at the table. I sat next to Lia, who was sitting across from Odd.
"How'd you get your drink so fast?" asked Odd.
I shrugged. "Theo got it for me."
Lia raised an eyebrow, looking skeptical. "Theo?"
I shook my head. "Don't ask why. I have no idea either."
Odd smiled. "I think I know why."
I glanced at him. "Why?"
He folded his arms across his chest. "You're not that stupid Aelita. C'mon, think."
I thought for a moment, but nothing came to me. Unless of course Theo knew I liked him, and he took some pity on me, but I doubt that was the case.
Odd sighed. "I think he likes you Aelita."
I gasped. Why would he like me? Me, the pink haired freak. For all I know about earth, pink is not a natural hair color. But pink IS my natural hair color. Ah, the benefits of once being a computer program...
I shook my head. "No way. He could never like me."
Lia grinned. "I think you like him too..." she said, giggling slightly.
I blushed slightly. "Nu-uh. I have a boyfriend already, and I love HIM."
Lia shook her head. "That's what I said too, with the Abe and Odd incident. You may love Jeremie, that doesn't mean you don't love Theo."
I sighed and looked down at my drink.
She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Make sure you know who you really love, otherwise you're just toying with both Jeremie and Theo's affections."
Soon enough, Jeremie, Yumi, and Ulrich came with another batch of drinks. The topic of my liking Theo was immediately disbanded, as we started up a conversation on missing home.
----
Later, we left to go to the arcade, where Jeremie and Ulrich were playing VirtuaCop, Lia and Odd playing Tekken 2, and Yumi and me playing Jurassic Park.
"So what was all that about Theo?" she asked, focusing on the game.
I sighed. "I have absolutely no idea. Lia and Odd think he likes me, and that I like him back. But that would be horrible of me to do so to Jeremie."
She smiled. "We've all been through that, Aelita."
I gasped as I shot a Velociraptor. "What do I do?"
Yumi growled in frustration, knowing she would die soon. "Well, Aelita, just follow your heart. Knowing you, you'll probably end up with the right guy."
I groaned inwardly. That the thing I was worried about. Loving the right guy. Maybe I liked Theo for all the wrong reasons. Did I even like him? Wah, this is all too confusing.
We both stepped out of the booth at the end of the game and went over to find Jeremie and Ulrich.
Yumi went up to him and gave him a small peck on the cheek. "Hey," she said cheekily.
He smiled. "Hey," he said, enveloping her in a huge bear hug. I smiled and left the two to their privacy.
I walked around looking for Jeremie. I found him playing a game with some girl I had never seen before. She had dark pink hair, like mine, and looked almost exactly like I did.
Who is that? And what is she doing? I thought, slowly walking over to them.
I stopped dead in my tracks though, when I saw her lean over to Jeremie and kiss him on the cheek.
