My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 4

Ainsley's P.O.V.

I walked into the gym and Keaton was waiting for me. He smiled when I walked in. He had the most adorable smile.

"Hey." I said to Keaton.

"Hey." He replied.

Well that was awkward. He leaned down and whispered something to me.

"You wanna go on an actual date tonight?" He asked in almost whisper.

"Um... Yes of course I do but what about Lo?" I answered wearily.

"You haven't told her yet?" He asked.

"No, I just don't want to piss her off and I don't know who to tell her." I said.

"We can do it tonight, after dinner." He said.

"How about tomorrow, I have a volleyball game tonight remember?" I stated.

"Oh yeah. I will be there." He said with a grin. "How about after that we just go on a walk or something."

"I'd like that." I said smiling. "See ya there Colt."

He had the biggest smile on his face like he just accomplished the impossible.

A couple hours later the final bell of the day rang and I scurried to the locker room. Lola was already there talking to Maya and Jess as she cornered me as I walked in. I looked at her.

"So anything you wanna tell me?" She asked.

Maya looked up from her locker and mouthed the words. "She knows, everyone in school is talking about it."

I decided to be honest with her hoping she wouldn't hate me.

"So Lo, I kinda lied to you about last night." I said.

"Oh I know. Keaton never just gives people a ride home." She said.

"Do you hate me?" I asked.

"I am mad because you didn't tell me the truth. But I could never hate you Ains." She told me.

"Can I explain the rest please?" I asked. She nodded.

"So yesterday Keat was being super nice to me, he brought me coffee and kept smiling and staring at me. I kept blushing not knowing what to do because he had never done this before. He asked me after English If I would meet him to talk that night and I agreed. At P.E. he even asked me to be on his team which he never did either. Maya told me maybe he had feelings for you but I didn't really think he did. He picked me up and we went to Yolo Froyo and while I ate my froyo he told me he had feelings for me. I was so shocked Lo, all I could think about was the rule we made when we were 7. Then he asked if I felt the same and I couldn't lie to him because I didn't want to hurt him but, I didn't want to hurt you either so I told him the truth and said Yes. He was surprised that I felt the same. Then he took me home. This morning he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. Please don't hate me." I finished almost in tears taking a deep breath so I wouldn't breakdown and cry . I also showed her the texts between Keaton and I.

"Ains, I was going to talk to you sometime about the rule anyways. I've seen the way my brother looks at you and I can tell he loves you. I couldn't be more happier! But I don't want you to hide anything from me. Also, I kinda knew this morning something was up because I have not seen Keaton this happy in years. I told him that if he hurt you I would kill him." Lola answered. Then she gave me a hug.

"So you aren't mad, because we have our first date tonight after the game." I said

"Of course not Ains, but I am going to pick out your outfit. I cannot believe that your first ever date is with my brother." She stated.
