I AM IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD!! It might be because my guy broke up with his GF or that we might be going to homecoming together, but whatever it is I'm writing again!! Enjoy the next chapter!!
I sat on my bed, looking at my phone, hoping for her name to pop up on my caller id.
"Oliver?" I heard Anyssa say from outside my door.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"There's someone here to see you." She said.
I smiled and looked up at my mirror, making sure my hair looked good, before I went downstairs.
"Hey Lill-" My voice trailed off as I saw Amelie in the doorway.
"Hi Oliver." She said and took her over-sized sunglasses off.
"Amelie? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Just thought I would stop by, see how things are going." Her eyes went from me to Max, who walked into the room at that moment.
" Hey." Max said seductively as he saw her.
"Hey yourself." She said and licked her bottom lip.
"I'm Max." He said and leaned against the wall.
"Amelie." She said, looking at his shirtless torso.
"You like it?" He asked.
"Maybe." She said.
"Well, maybe you'll see more soon."
That was about all I could take. "Max, can I talk to you for a second."
"Sure." He said as he followed me into the kitchen
"Dude, what the hell is your problem?"
"What?"
"You're dating Lilly and you start, like, having word sex with some chick you just met."
"So? I'm sure as hell not whipped like you are."
"What are you talking about Max?"
"Everyone can tell that you like Lilly. I think even she knows. So pull your head out of your ass and stop telling me what to do."
"What does you thinking I like Lilly have to do with Amelie?"
"If you didn't like her, you wouldn't have said anything."
"Max, don't be retarded."
"Stop being a wuss." He said and walked back into the living room.
I sighed and looked down at my phone.
Fine, if she won't call me, I'll call her.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Thanks for calling Oliver." Lilly phone-smiled at me. We were wrapping up our 3 hour phone conversation.
"Thanks for answering Lill-ay."
She giggled. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and I felt this weird rush go through my body. The kind of feeling I got when I still liked Becca and I'd see her.
"No way I like Lilly." I said to myself.
But I couldn't ignore the feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was like I couldn't shake it.
"Even if I did like Lilly, she couldn't like me back…….right?"
I fell backwards onto my bed, staring up and my ceiling. I saw all the pictures of me and Lilly that we had taped up there.
"There, I'll always be the last person you see before you go to sleep." She would always joke.
I looked at the collection of our smiling faces. Then my eyes drifted to the latest one.
We stood with our bodies facing each other, but our faces towards the camera. She had her arms around my neck and I had my hands around her waist. Before I thought it was just a friendly hug. As I looked at it now, I wasn't so sure if that's what I actually thought it was, or if that's what I wanted it to be.
"Aw shit." I said and buried my head in my pillow. There was no denying it. I like Lilly. It was pretty funny how everyone knew that before I did, considering how much I talk about her or think about her.
Suddenly, I was awoken from my thoughts to hear someone knocking on the wall in between my room and Max's room.
I stood up and walked next door, opening the door without needing to see what I saw.
Amelie and Max were laying together in the bed. Thank god the blankets were covering them so I didn't see much. Max looked up at me and said "If you tell Lilly about this, I'll make your life a living hell."
I nodded and closed the door.
I sat in the hallway, debating on what to do.
Tell Lilly, Don't tell Lilly.
After much debate, I came up with the right answer:
Tell Lilly
Alright, so end of another chapter.
The last part, up until Oliver realizes he likes Lilly, is based on the first verse of "Crush" by David Archuleta AKA my husband.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
