Kryhs sat down in her chair and sighed heavily. She had no idea what had happened but she knew that kissing Toby felt so right. She felt slightly guilty that Toby has to leave. The doorbell rung and Kryhs went to answer it. It was Mamabuscus. "Hello Kryhs," she beamed.
"Hello," Kryhs sniffed.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Mamabuscus frowned. Kryhs shook her head.
"No...uh...come in, Toby's out," she sighed, stepping aside to let her in. Mamabuscus stepped in and took off her jacket.
"Right, what happened?" she asked, staring the coffee maker and sitting herself on the sofa, patting the seat next to her. Kryhs went to sit next to her, her head in her hands. Mamabuscus waited patiently for Kryhs to answer. Kryhs took a deep breath and nodded.
"Okay. Mamabuscus? I really like your son. Like REALLY like him," she began. Mamabuscus clapped her hands in excitement.
"I knew it! You too were so perfect at dinner!"
"Thank you...so he broke up with Jenna today," Kryhs confirmed.
"Oh my god this just gets better and better," Mamabuscus said in shock.
"And today, when he was playing Slender, Gryphon peed on the chair I was sitting on and then I sat on Toby's lap and we kind of ...kissed..." Kryhs finished, biting her lip. Mamabuscus stared at her in shock.
"Eventful day," she mused.
"And it was a mistake, clearly, I stood up afterwards and he told me it was a mistake and he was sorry and just kinda slammed out of the apartment," Kryhs sighed.
"Did you enjoy it?" Mamabuscus asked, unsure of where to go from here.
"Yes! It felt so right but I've only known him for a few days. This isn't right. Clearly, he doesn't feel the same," Kryhs said sadly. Her deep eyes filled with worry and upset. Before Mrs Turner could say anything, the front door opened and Toby walked in. He froze when he saw Kryhs and his mother.
"Well, I guess you two need to sort this out, I'll be in the garden with Gryph," Mamabuscus dismissed herself, giving Kryhs one last smile before leaving. Toby shut the door behind him and leant against it. There was an awkward silence.
"Kryhs..."
"Toby, I know it was a mistake. I'm sorry for...uh.."
"It was as much your fault as mine," Toby interrupted her. "So don't." Kryhs groaned.
"This is so complicated. Okay. So where to we go from here?"
"The thing is, I haven't known you for that long. And our friendship is freaking awesome already. I don't know if I wanna kill that-"
"So stay friends. Fine," Kryhs nodded, seeing that coming but not being able to stop the dissapointment.
"Okay..." Toby said awkwardly. Kryhs bit her lip again and Toby couldn't take it anymore. "Kryhs? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure," Kryhs sighed heavily. "As long as you don't make me call Jenna and tell her that you want her back." Toby smirked slightly.
"No. I know we're gonna stay friends and everything but...could I kiss you one last time?" Kryhs blinked in confusion before noticing that actually, Toby felt the same but he didn't want to go down the Jenna road again. She nodded slowly. Toby approached her nervously. Once he got close to her, he put his hands on her cheeks, so they supported her head, and he leant in. Kryhs' eyes fluttered shut as his soft lips met hers. This was even more magical than the first one. Kryhs would've let it go further if Toby didn't break it.
"So...um...friends?" Kryhs tried, touching her lips tenderly, trying to savour the feeling.
"Yeah, s-sure. I'm...uh..gonna see what my mom's doing," Toby muttered, turning away and making his way into the garden, leaving Kryhs dazed and even more confused.
