The minute Kenzie got back to her room, she fell on the bed and let out a muffled scream in her pillows. "What the hell is going on?" she thought. She was more confused than ever. She really didn't know what to think or what to do with the situation. She did know she was going to have to be honest with herself about how she felt and she was going to have to talk to Stu eventually about everything. But she would rather hold that off for a while to be completely honest.
Spencer got back to the room and he contemplated whether to knock on her door or not. He decided she'd talk when she wanted so he decided not to bother her. He didn't know why he decided to kiss her. All he knew was that he needed to figure out what his feelings were for Kenzie and fast because it's not fair to her.
The rest of the weekend Kenzie just acted like nothing happened. Luckily for her she didn't see much of Spencer that day. She knew that she was going to have to face him eventually, and for the first time ever, she wasn't all that excited to see him. Kenzie tailgated with some friends and she finally made it over to the tent where he was. She spoke to some friends before she went to where he was. When she finally got to where he was one of their friends suggested that her and Spencer take a picture. "Just great" is what she thought to herself before she reluctantly agreed. They took the picture and the two acted like nothing had happened the night before. She was so tense around him and it was so weird. She knew she had to get away from him. Before she could leave he grabbed her arm and spoke the four words she had been dreading "we need to talk."
"I don't know if I can do this right now Spence" she confessed.
"Please Kenz just talk to me, I hate how things are between us right now."
"Well you kissing me out of left field complicates things, especially because I told you about everything that happened with Stu" she said.
"I know I know and I'm sorry Kenz. I think I just got caught up, I really don't even know."
"That makes me feel a lot better Spence" she sarcastically said.
"I know Kenz I'm really sorry for adding on to your confusion."
"Just answer this question for me, do you even think you remotely have genuine feelings for me?"
"I don't really know if we can be more than friends Kenz."
"That's what I thought. About 3 months ago that would have hurt me a lot, but I've finally come to the realization that you and I will never happen and I'm perfectly okay with that."
"So no hard feelings?"
"None at all" Kenzie replied before sending him a reassuring smile.
The two friends hugged and went on about their day. But Kenzie lied, even though she knew her and Spencer would never happen, hearing him say it did hurt her a bit. Her feelings weren't as great as they use to be but they still existed. She wasn't going to let him know it though.
Stu was driving over to Stephen's house when he finally gave in and sent Kenzie a text. He wanted to know how she was doing, especially after he saw a tweet from her that was off to him. He smiled when he saw that she had text him back. She sounded like her normal self but he wanted to see her badly and he didn't know what kind of damage he had done to their friendship by kissing her.
Stu sat in Stephen's living room along with Ted Dibiase as he explained what happened.
"So you kissed her and then just left?" the southerner asked.
"Yeah I did. I don't know why I just felt like I needed to leave. Let her think about what happened I guess."
"Fella I don't know how smart that was on your part."
"Yeah I know, but I didn't know what else to do."
"You could always try and make her jealous you know?" Ted said.
Stu and Stephen both looked at each other and then looked at Ted "what?" the both said.
"I know it sounds silly but hear me out. Bring a girl around when you know she's going to be coming home or something and make sure she sees you. Maybe if she sees you with someone else she will come to terms with how she's feeling."
"I don't know about that Dibiase."
After a few more hours of hanging out with Stephen and Ted, Stu left. He didn't want to admit it, but the making her jealous idea didn't seem bad. Either it was going to work or backfire greatly.
That night Kenzie was getting ready to head out after going back to her hotel after the game. She and Spencer had a blast with their friends and she really wanted to talk to Stu. She really did miss him. She checked her laptop to see if he was on Skype and lo and behold he was. She was so happy to see his face. She felt like it had been ages but technically it was only 2 days. He couldn't get over how beautiful she looked.
"You look great Kenny" he said
"Thanks Stu." He complimented her often and she would never get use to it.
They spoke for about 45 minutes. She filled him in on the game and how they all rushed the field afterwards because that was the first time they'd won at home in 3 years. He laughed at how excited she was about it. She continued to fill him in on all the other things that had happened since she's been gone. She didn't however fill him in on Spencer kissing her, she didn't know if she was going to tell him about that or not. He did ask her what she meant by one of her tweets but she just shrugged it off and told him it was nothing. When she let him go she sighed because she didn't know how things were going to go after she told him what happened between her and Spencer.
