If I couldn't sleep before, I definitely couldn't sleep now. All I could think about was what this could possibly mean for me.
Does Jonah actually like me..? Or is this just a friendly date..? Is that a thing..? My mind was racing, and in my excitement, I barely noticed my phone going off yet again. It was Buffy, which surprised me a bit, since Jonah and I had stayed on the phone for another hour after we started talking, making it almost 4 in the morning.
You wanna call me and fill me in?
Without a reply, I called her, not at all surprised when she answered after the first ring.
"What happened? When I talked to Jonah, he said something happened and you left all panicky."
"Yeah… About that. I kinda kissed him." I said, already anticipating her telling me how stupid that was.
"Cyrus, why? What could have possibly made you think that was a good idea?" She asked, getting an involuntary sigh out of me. In all honesty, it was a stupid idea at the time.
"I dunno. He told me he feels comfortable and like he can be himself around me. I just lost control for a minute. Then I ran out… After that, I called him and we talked about it… I told him I like him, Buffy." This got Buffy's attention, as I heard a small noise. Perhaps of disapproval?
"And how did he react?" She asked, a certain weight to her voice that honestly had me worried.
"He said it was fine… And kinda asked me on a date." I could tell this was a shock to her, for as soon as I said it, there was a slight gasp and the sound of her phone hitting what I assumed was her floor.
"Are you for real right now..?" She asked, her voice steady and calm now.
"Why would I lie about this, Buffy?" I muttered, giving a low sigh. This seemed to help her register what I was saying. I heard a small sound of joy escape from her mouth, followed by a laugh.
"Cyrus, this is huge! You've liked Jonah for a long time, now's your chance to finally win him over!" She cheered, obviously excited for me. I couldn't help but laugh a bit, though I felt a bit nervous about that. Sure, I got him to agree to go on a date with me, but could I really manage to win Jonah over..?
After a few more minutes, Buffy and I hung up and I almost instantly fell asleep, not realizing how tired I really was until that moment. The next morning, I could barely contain my excitement as I got ready for my retry at a skateboarding date. I was determined I wouldn't end up going to the hospital after this one, because I intended to be a bit smarter about this one. As I approached the place Jonah and I had our last skateboard adventure, I saw him standing there, his face lighting up as soon as he saw me coming.
"Hey, Cy! Good to see you!" He called as he approached me. I couldn't help but chuckle as I saw him coming. Of course, behind that chuckle, there was quite a bit of fear in my heart.
What if I can't win him over..?
Sorry this chapter was so short, guys! My week was really stressful and I just needed to take a bit of a break from working on the story!
