A Seat in His Heart

Chapter 6 - Thoughts and Secrets.

[Gold]

Since Pete left some hours ago, I've not been thinking straight, I kept on questioning myself, but the actual question that has been bugging me was Do I like Pete? everything has been happening so fast and He already fell for me and I'm only certain of that because of today's incidence, one thing is for sure I can't fall for anyone at this point even if I am threatened, Its too early to fall, he'd better fix or redirect his feelings."Let's watch peter pan!" Diamond's voice came screaming me out of my thoughts, I just smiled at her and tucked a strand of stubborn hair behind her ear. "Let's watch something else baby. Kimetsu Demon slayer?" I suggested to her rubbing her back "no way, Pete Pan! Pete pan pleeeaase!" she screamed, how fast could she be speaking to make Peter sound like Pete, or I'm now hearing things.

"Say no more, say no more, You got it wendy." I cooed setting it up for her. "yay!" she screamed. After some minutes, I heard her deep breaths and there she was sleeping, with her head on my laps, I picked her up and moved her to her room, put off the television and moved up to my room. I picked up my phone to see a missed call from Kyle and I was not even bothered to call back. I just lay down rolling from side to side, with my stomach releasing its hundredth butterfly. I can still smell his cologne. So this is what it feels like to be kissed, what more could be sweeter than his kisses, his lips are soft despite the strong muscles, I thought as l lay sprawled. The ringing of my phone brought me back to reality. It was Kyle.

"Hey Gold, how are you doing?" Came his deep raspy voice. Maybe these guys plan to murder me with butterflies tonight, but I refuse to die. "I'm fine, how are you doing?" I managed to say out.

"Do you mind hanging out tomorrow?" Came his voice at the other end. I delay my reply, he sighed "Gold, I really want to hang out with you, what do you say?" He said, his voice more certain and deeper "Is that a date?" I asked, twirling my hair in my index finger. "Call it whatever, I just want to be with you - alone." He cooed and exhaled. My ears felt warm even just talking on the phone with Kyle.

" I can't, I mean my aunt-" I squeaked and trailed off. "No stress, have a wonderful night" he said, his voice devoid of emotions, almost rude. The call ended and I couldn't reply to him. What is this confusion my brain is delving into? Why did I refuse the date with Kyle?

To be honest I think I'm getting attached to Pete. I don't think I would have resisted a minute if it were Pete.

Pete, Pete, Pete go to bed already, my mind sassed at me.

I snuggled under covers and slept off amidst the thoughts in my head, also being grateful aunt Cindy didn't pick on me today.

[Pete]

Kyle was with his favourite toy girl today, when I walked in, I'm sure he is celebrating something,or grieving over something cause she won't come on a regular day, this one's always for special occasions. They were making out on the couch when she saw me she winked at me while kissing Kyle who had his back to me, I instantly got sick to my tummy, not because she is ugly or anything, but I just hate beauties without brains. I just faked a smile at her and made my way towards Kyle's room, Kyle must have noticed my presence, cause he broke off from her picked up her tiny shorts and bra for her and asked her to leave, and joined me to his room, I could hear her frustrated groan and few minutes later the sound of the door shut. I threw myself on the bed with my half of my back on the wall while my legs sprawled on the bed.

"what's up man! the guys reported you were guarding Gold, yeah?" I could hear Kyle's voice.

"Give me the strongest shot you've got." I heard myself say. "what's up man! you look beat" He said ignoring my request, Even though I'm pissed right now that he ignored my request I know I'd be grateful later, because if he is to give into my request I know I'd probably have a week's worth of hangover and I'd be shutdown. only God knows how Kyle survives his stuff. "I just want a drink man, anything wrong with that?" I asked irritated.

"you're already high dude!" he sniffed the air around me. "I had no juice man!" I said pushing him away and he staggered and laughed "woah! good push man, I smell Gold in your breath, not juice" he teased and I threw my jacket at him, he handed me a glass then brought out Pepsi from the small fridge by his reading table and got the Don Julio '70 Tequila spirit on top the fridge, then displayed them before me and got his glass too, I got my glass half filled with the spirit then mixed the Pepsi in it, this is my favourite way of taking spirits and Kyle knows it. Kyle's really something, does he know I kissed Goldie? he's already acting weird. He also got his glass filled. I know Kyle, he's worried about something, else he wouldn't just dismiss Lacy like that and his laughter was forced, and now asking me about something we'd concluded to let go? "the game's still up right? because you spoiled the first shot." Kyle asked just as I expected. "give it a rest man, not necessary." I said and gulped down the content left in my glass and reached for the Tequila again. If my mum sees me drinking like this, she'd perhaps get a heart attack, I smiled at the thought of it.

"It's necessary dude, look what she's done to you, never say never, you know the code bro!" Kyle yelled frustrated. The code is to never back out of an operation no matter what. Get it done and face the consequences later. It's what I learned from the hood and I taught it to Kyle and now I'm regretting it because he's using it against me. You know the saying, never teach a dog how to bark, else it'd bark at you someday.

"Just on this page, bro! let it go, we make the rules, we can break them." I said sternly, dropping the glass loudly on the bedside table. I don't have to explain myself or tell him anything that happens between Gold and I, because I just dislike sharing that part of me, I don't tell the guys about my girls, especially my Ex(s) though, although Kyle does that a lot, I know when he'll dump any of his toys and the next one he's targeting and all that happens through out her phase.

"Okay!" he said faking a surrender, "If Gold is off the grid now, How about Trice? she good too and she's been flashing her green lights brighter recently." Kyle said clearing the table, looking very dubious, is he hiding something from me and why? I just ignored him because Trice is the least of my worries now, we've spent quality time in school recently and I have noticed What kyle is talking about, the green light, but its better I just Ignore it, else I will end up using her to suppress my yearnings for Gold which I know no girl can quench my thirst for her. I've got the feeling I needed from the spirit, I moved to the reading table, thanks to Kyle's tidy nature with books I found just what I was looking for, Engineering Mathematics (EGR 1010), I began to solve the differentiation and Integration problems first then moved to complex numbers.

I'm good at this and the feeling from tequila is a combo, but I'm uncertain about Kyle, the way he said Okay, is really disturbing, Kyle would not back out so easily, I needed to keep an eye on him though. Kyle did not talk to me for the rest of the night he just played GTA and put on his headset, signifying I shouldn't attempt talking to him and I didn't, I just need another drink, thanks to Kyle's "Juice Is the best resource earth has offered man, so cherish it" and "A shot a day keeps your problems away" quotes which made him keep the drinks in his room, so Its easy to grab, I got a smirnoff and went back to the table. I knew that I was going to get one hell of a hangover in the morning. Gold I wish you can see what you are doing to this man.
