My Triplet Lovers

Closer

I went in the car with them but I started to feel nervous again because for the first 5 minutes, he didn't talk and my hands were ice cold because of the tension I was feeling because just a few minutes ago we kept on talking non stop. But not long after, he decided to break the ice.

"Hey, aren't we supposed to get to know each other more?" He asked while giving me those puppy eyes again.

I didn't really know what to say so I said this instead. "What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Or which do you like better, day or night? Or what about your favorite song?" Believe me, I really didn't know what to say.

"Well, I have two brothers. One 11 year old and one 7 year old. For the second question, it's sometimes day because of the warm feeling the sun gives me like it's hugging me when I'm alone and sometimes night because it's quiet and you get to think with the cold wind that slightly brushes your hair.." He said it in a rather poetic way. What do I do now? I know I wanna ask about a lot of stuff about him but it's like my brain won't function again. Oh yeah, there was one more question he hasn't answered yet.

"...Song? Well I can't just choose one but when I finally know which one it is, I'll let you know" What he said did make sense, You can't just choose one. They're all great in different ways.

Oh no, what do I do know?

While I was thinking of another question to ask or even just a topic for us to talk about, He notices the struggle painted across my face just to think of something to talk about. So he then tried to put an end to the struggle that was causing me to think real hard.

"Hey, don't think too much. It's my turn to ask. What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

He started off with a simple question that I asked him a while ago.

"I have one brother and one sister, my brother's 11 years old while my sister's 9" Then he answered with

"Cool! hmmm.. What about relationships?" I looked at him all confused

"What do you mean?" then he replied.

"If you've ever had a boyfriend or are you currently in a relationship?"

I still got confused, Why would he ask me that? Unless he likes me t-

Oh jeez I'm over thinking all of this again, I should just ask him why he'd bring up something like that. I don't wanna get any false hope. Unless he's ran out of topics too. "Just go ahead and ask!" My thoughts trying to tell and convince me to just ask and clear my mind.

"W-Why did you ask?". I look down just so that he wouldn't see if I'm blushing this time.

"Oh I'm sorry.. did I say something wrong? I just wanted to ask because maybe your boyfriend wouldn't like it if you ride with me to send you home, if you have one." He turns all shy after explaining but at least my thoughts are all cleared now. I don't want to get the wrong impressions, specially because I overthink a lot. But some part of me wished it was because he liked me too..

Oh no, I left him hanging for a little too long.

"Oh, no it's ok. I just wanted to clear out why you asked and also no, I don't have a boyfriend. Not even once. Come to think of it, no one has ever really had a crush on me so yeah, none." I mean yeah it is the truth but he looked at me as if I was lying.

"Really? I don't believe you. I mean you're serious? Who wouldn't have a crush on you? I know we've only just met but I could see that you're a great, smart, and caring person. But of course we're too young for those so I would understand and I think you'd be busy thinking of other stuff." He sounded sincere and that made my heart beat faster. "Stop making me feel this way!" I scream inside my head again because once again I get confused with the words he tells me.

"I mean if it was me I'd totally go out with you if we weren't too young.."

OH MY GOSH!

He really said that?? I scream again in my head "What do you mean?? Stop making me feel this way! Stop giving me false hope if you're gonna break me in the end" My body feels so nervous yet excited for some reason because of something called "Romantic excitement" as they call it.

But then he adds "But you're my friend and I could only probably see you that way and I think you feel the same way too."

Ouch, that hurts. But it is probably the truth but hey, it's better than finding out how he feels about me a little too late.

"Yeah you're right, I mean we are friends after all and I can't even imagine thinking of you that way hahaha." I might as well lie to not get caught and maybe it could break our friendship too in the future.

His aunt and uncle's in the front seats giggling hearing our conversation. I feel embarrassed but both me and Troy just laugh it off to remove what is supposedly growing tension or "awkwardness" between us.

We talked and talked for hours and again not noticing that we've finally arrived.

5:30 pm

I arrived at my house but instead of saying goodbye, He tried to convince me to stay a little longer with him.

"Do you really have to go? I mean we still have a few minutes left.. Are you sure you're going already...?" And again he tries to change my mind with those once again "cute little puppy eyes" which he knows I can't say no to but still, I had to stop myself from falling for it this time and of course I resisted the temptation that was right in front of me. So again I had to reassure him but this time in a rather cute way.

I grabbed both of his cheeks and told him "Aww is my cute little puppy gonna miss his owner?" He nods like a literal cute little puppy and since he did that, I pet him on the head and said...

"Don't worry, It won't be long we'll see each other again."
