''Sometimes pretending not to care gives you more reason to care''---
~Jeff~
I sat on my bed contemplating on whether to send her the message.
I was very nervous. I didn't understand why.
A message was way easier but I still couldn't get myself to tap the send button.
I'm a charmer, no doubt about that. I'm like honey and the girls are the bees.
They are attracted to me in fact they need me but here I am.
The situation is quite different this time.
The honey is attracted to the bee.
After the ''hi'' I sent she was supposed to be all over me by now but hey she won't even look in my direction and now I'm even finding it difficult to ask her to be my friend.
Shit I really need to find the old me. I know I'm over praising myself but that's the truth though. You feel me?....
''hey man hit the button already''
''oh crap you scared me....how did you get in here'' I asked.
My Dad really enjoys sneaking up on me all the time. ''and how long have you been here''
''wo wo wo take it easy son....a question at a time.'' he said grinning.
''one you never close your door and two I've been here long enough to see how just tapping a send button could cause you headache'' he said leaning forward and tapping the send button.
''oh Dad seriously....''
''you are welcome and also I can't be spending my hard earned money on painkillers''
''I never said thank you''
''maybe your mouth didn't but your heart sure did'' he teased blowing me a kiss ''aren't you going to tell me who she is already''
''she's no one''
''well I don't need to rush you will surely come to me for help....'' he said leaving the room.
Well that's my dad for you. Always prying into my affairs. He is nosy about everything. Sometimes it sucks but he's the best though.
When he left I run to shut the door and locked it. I run back to the bed and picked up my phone checking if there was a reply.
no reply
I threw the phone on the bed and starting pacing up and down in my room. I was thinking really hard. Did I scare her? Was is a wrong approach? OMG I need answers.
I began sweating though the AC was on full swing. I decided to go take a bath. I came out looking all fresh and ready for good news because I could feel it.
I went straight for my phone, on the lock screen there was a notification of five new messages. I quickly opened my phone to check..
still no reply
The messages were from Mackenzie. She asked if we could hangout. That wasn't the good news I was expecting but I really needed a distraction.
I quickly put my denim shorts and a shirt grabbed my car keys. Like the gentleman I was, I offered to pick her up.
''Dad I'm going out for some air'' I shouted to my Dad when I passed by his room. I didn't wait to listen to his response.

~Jenny~
I kept staring at the screen of the phone.
I didn't know why I was so excited but it felt good. I decided to reply. It's not regular for hot guys to ask me to be their friends.
This is great.
I started picturing him.
He was perfect.
His hair was well cut and he had smooth brown skin. His dark brown eyes were so luring and he had long eye lashes.
His height was on point his body stature was like that of a model. I needed to play tough. I wouldn't just say yes.
I thought of the perfect thing to say and was about to type when my screen went black
''oh s**t low battery''
I searched for my charger and my phone. I was about switching it on when I heard the door bell. I decided to go check and come back.
The phone would have charged to a better point by the time I got back
''I'm coming'' I shouted and made my way downstairs.
I looked through the hole but no one was there but I decided to open the door anyway. When I opened it there was rose lying just on the doorstep.
I picked it up and smiled. I was about closing the door when a voice came up
''how about crowning me the best stalker of the year''
''is that even a thing?....wow you are too much'' I said shaking my head
''you are welcome'' Emil said bowing down as if we were acting a Shakespearean play
''I didn't say thank you''
''you just did''
''so who among the three of them gave you my address''
''I will only answer that if you agree to have a walk with me''
''wow interesting.....I don't do walks''
''but you do cuddling right....the couch is all ready for us''
''hmmm you need Jesus'' I said kicking him
''ouch....so is that a yes''
''ok yes but just for an hour because you brought me a rose and nothing else''
''I guess my research wasn't in vain''
''you researched on me'' I asked with eyes wide open
''I guess so'' he said smirking
I shook my head and just gave a light laugh.
Such a flirt.
This boy sure knows how to make people speechless.
I excused myself and went upstairs to change. I checked my phone and it was just 10%. This wouldn't even last for five minutes.
I decided to leave it.
Emil was already waiting for me at the end of the stairs. When I got there he bowed down and said
''Are you ready Princess''
I just smiled and walked past him. I grabbed the house keys and headed for the door.
''by the way you look great babe''
What did I get myself into. Emil was a playboy. He had dated half of the female population in school but here I was laughing at his jokes and worst of all I invited him into my home. Take a deep breath honey and be cool it's just for tonight.
''thanks'' I said
I locked the door and we began our journey to nowhere. The walk was going so well. We cracked jokes. He told me some stories about his exes.
I was wondering why he was telling me this but I just listened and laughed if I needed to. He always knew what to say and when to say it but he wouldn't stop flirting.
I guess it's in his DNA.
He was way cool than I thought but he was still a no go area for me.
We got to a point and he started walking backwards claiming he wanted to look me in the eye whilst talking and that his neck was beginning ache from turning too much.
Such a character.
''hey watch out'' I screamed grabbing him by the hand and pulling him to prevent him from tripping over a rock.
He was much closer now and I could smell his cologne it had a mild scent but it smelt great. I was still holding on to his hand and he was looking straight into my eyes. My knees began to weaken and I quickly let go
''wow Summs I'm flattered....you just saved my perfect body from bruises.....I owe you''
''it's just a kind gesture boy....you wouldn't like to fall in front of me. I'm saving you from the humiliation.
''Just admit that you did it out of care for me''
''Don't get your hopes up its just what friends do''
''friends?'' he asked grinning...''yippee we are friends now''
OMG what did I just say. I can't even think straight. Friends, Really?
''you wish'' I said and started walking away from him
''don't be shy bestie''
''OMG....you just enjoy making things worse than they look'' I said walking even faster
''wait up Summs this a walk not jogging''
I stopped and started laughing. He took that as an advantage and caught up with me
''thanks for saving me Mi Lady'' he said bowing again
I just smiled and we were back to normal. The walk with him wasn't bad after all. We really had a great time.
