Chapter 9: A Twist

○•Chapter 9: A Twist•○

"Thanks for driving me home." I say. That was really some day.

"No problem." He grins at me. We both stood there, waiting for each other to do something. In movies, the guy usually kisses the girl at this moment, but in real life everything was just awkward.

"I guess I'll see you on monday." I smiled and right when I was about to open the door, he stopped me.

"Hm, what is it?" I asked him. He held my hand and I instantly knew what he was about to say. He looked at me; this is it. I gulped.

"Well?" I turned my head to him.

"Would you like to go out with me again?" He stared right into my eyes and for some reason, nothing came out of my mouth. Am I nervous? I don't know if I should say yes or no. My feelings are all mixed up; I can't comprehend anymore.

"A-are you asking me to be your girlfriend??" I stuttered. I was shrieking inside; not sure of what to do anymore. He nodded. I knew it! What do I do now??

"Look, if you don't want to go out with me again, I completely understand." He lets go of my hand and turns his head away from me. I don't know what to say. Do i really like him?

"Chris. Wait." For once, i touched his face and I can feel my heart aching of pain. I feel really bad. I don't want to break his heart, but it's not like i'm going to say no. It just hurts seeing him look this disappointed.

"What?" He sounds annoyed. Maybe this isn't the right time to give him my answer; actually i don't even have a answer. Somewhere inside of me, is telling me that I should say yes, but another side of me is telling me that he's not the right one for me. I don't know, i don't know! I pursed my lips.

"Why did you wanted to go out with me in the first place anyways?" Maybe this will give me the answer to my feelings. He looked confused, as if he doesn't even know himself. I guess i wasn't alone on this one.

"Why did you think I asked you to be my girlfriend? There's just something about you, Emily. I really like you."  He was serious. I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach. Did he just say that he likes me? My eyes widened; in complete shockness.

"Emily, you look pale. Are you okay? Its okay if you don't like me back you know??" He comes closer and looks closely at my face. Oh man, he's not making this easy for me.

"Y-yeah, you shocked me for a moment there." I shook my head.

"Oh." Pain flashes through his face; he looks away.

"Chris, i didn't mean it that way. Give me some time. I don't even know myself." I tried to smile, but my lips wouldn't budge. What's wrong with me right now?

"Okay...Take as much time as you want." He smiles at me, but I knew he was in pain. I can't blame him, I would have been heart broken too. I'm pretty much rejecting him right now.... I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" he softly asks. I see he's not mad anymore. I ignored him and placed my lips on his cheek.

"Thank you." I smiled and waved goodbye before going inside. Why did I just do that? I slapped myself mentally. What am I doing? Do I have any feelings for him?? All these questions swirls up in my head. Ugh, I'm getting a headache. I need to get something to drink.

"Mom! I'm home!" I yelled, but nobody replied. Hm, where is she? I turned on my IPhone. I had 2 missed phone calls and 3 text messages.

Mom: I'm working late tonight, So i won't be home until 12.
