AFTER A VERY LONG CONVERSATION with my mother and father, I was able to convince them to let me spend the weekend with Levi in his house in Malibu. Although, I may have lied that it wasn't going to be just Levi and I, I lied that his sister, which he doesn't have, and Kris are here as well.
I've never dated a boy from outside my race before, so I knew I had to watch what I say, especially when it comes to my attitude, my way of speaking, jokes and racial comments.
As much as I wanted to, I had successfully avoided having any form of sexual interaction with him. I never let it get more than what I needed it to be.
We had breakfast in a floral café, lunch in a sunny eatery, dinner in a beach-side restaurant. Then we would stay up late watching all sort of things. It was all so... blissful, but for some reason I just felt uncertain about what was truly going on here. I tried to ignore the feeling and just tell myself he has changed, he was a good person, but there was always the uncertainty. What if this was some kind of game? What if he was just doing this to get back at me for being a pain in his ass? What if he was doing this to prove some kind of point? But, then if this was fake and he was acting, then he is a really good actor. I sighed and pushed the thought out of my head, I was going to let myself be happy, but not too happy. I need to be able to take any outcome I get.
"Finally," He says as I walk down the stairs. "Are you ready?"
I nod. "Yeah," I follow him outside and to his car. He opens the door and climb into the passengers seat. "Thanks," I mutter before he closes the door.
"Okay," he sighs once he is in his seat. He reaches backwards and buckles his seatbelt before starting the engine. He pulls the car out of the compound and locks the gate before we speed away.
The car ride was silent, I rested my head against the window and just watched as things flashed by.
"Are you okay?" He asks, resting his hand on my thigh. "You seem off,"
"I'm fine," I say, looking down at his hand as he softly stroked my thigh. I was wearing one his t-shirts as a dress so it stopped a midway. My parents would be at the Benson's house for dinner so they wouldn't see me. "Just thinking of a few things, that's all,"
His hand moves to mine and he clutches it tightly. He moves it up to his lips and places a soft kiss on the back of my hand. "If you need to talk about anything, I'm here, okay?"
I nod and give him a weak smile. "Thanks, but I'm fine, honestly,"
He nods before moving his hand back to the stirring wheel. We soon arrived at my house and he parks in the driveway.
"Thanks," I say, unbuckling my seatbelt. "This was the most fun I have had in a very long time,"
"I can say the same," he smirks, before leaning in to kiss me, his tongue moving immediately into my mouth. It lasts for four minutes before he pulls away and I remember I needed to breath. If there was one thing Levi was, it was an amazing kisser. I didn't even want it to stop. "I'll see you tomorrow?"
"You will," I smile opening the door. I peck his lips again before getting out the car and closing the door behind me. I walk up to the front door and give Levi one last wave before he drives off.
I make my way upstairs and into my room, diving onto the bed. I didn't know at which time I fell asleep, but I did. I fell into a deep sleep.

I stroke the brush lightly against the rock prop, pausing to admire my work. Jack sighs loudly, enough to get my attention. I watch him for a second as he paints lazily. I drop the brush down by my side and turn to him.
"Are you okay?" I ask, not being able to ignore it anymore.
"Yeah," he sighs, turning his attention from the tree to me. "I am fine,"
"Why are you saying the full thing if you're truly fine?" I ask.
"What?" He asks, furrowing his thick eyebrows as he drops his brush as well.
"You could've just said "I'm fine" instead of "I am fine" that means something is wrong," I say.
"I have a problem," he verifies. "And I honestly don't know who to talk to apart from you,"
"I feel honored," I say, brushing my hair away from my face. My hair had been acting up for a while now and has refused to stay the way I want it, I have been contemplating on whether to cut it or not. "What is it?"
Jax had tons of friends, he is the best swimmer the school has. This gave him a nice athletic body that I too could not resist staring at from time to time. He is attractive, wavy brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, but he was not as attractive as Levi. Even when I hated Levi with a burning passion, it angered me that I could not deny how good-looking that boy was. He was the archetype Of godly beauty, I had acknowledged this since I was little but I still hated him. Now, I just admire him. His soft skin, his pretty hair, his perfectly defined face, his toned and muscled body from playing football. I had lost myself fantasizing over Levi, I quickly refocus my attention on Jax.
He bites his inner cheek and looks around before lowering his voice. "I think I might be attracted to men,"
I tried to hide the surprise because I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable or regret telling me this, so instead I give him a light smile. "What makes you think that?"
"I don't know," he sighs, moving closer to me. "There is this guy I met a few months ago and I just feel some kind of way for him," he pause. "I'm attracted to him. I like him in a romantic way,"
"Do you also still feel attracted to females?" I ask. "Or is that out of the way now?"
"I'm still attracted to females," he says with certainty. "I still have a thing for Kris, actually. I did a quiz on my sexuality because I'm confused and it said I was bisexual,"
"Then maybe you are," I say, giving him a supportive smile. "Reflect on yourself and your feelings and when you are sure just know that I am here to support you,"
