Part Eighteen
“Don’t
even think it.” Tay always thinks there is something between Audg and me, but
there isn’t. That’s Randi’s cousin and well that just would be right. We
all got comfortable and popped in the movie. We didn’t feel like fast
forwarding through the previews so we just let them roll.
“So are you
two going out?” Audrey directed towards Tay.
“Well
yeah.” He smiled and kissed Angie lightly on the cheek.
“Since
when?” I didn’t even know that yet. I’m falling behind on what’s going
on in my own brother’s life.
“Yesterday.”
Angie grabbed Tay’s hand and giggled. I wish I could be like that with Randi
again. I miss the time when we would just kiss each other for no reason, or hold
hands walking down the strip, or just holding her period. She felt so right in
my arms, yet now, I don’t know if it could ever be like that again. “It’s
starting.” She turned off the lights and got the popcorn from the kitchen. We
watched it in peace, well except when we were laughing our asses off. That movie
is great!
“That was
the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!” Tay had tears forming because he was
laughing so hard.
“I gotta go
pee!” Audrey jumped up and ran to the bathroom before she peed her pants. That
just made us laugh harder.
“Feel
better?” I joked with her as she returned.
“Oh yes.”
She sat on my lap. “So what’s next? I’m ready to do something
productive.”
“You are
right now. Your making Zac horny.” Tay burst out laughing, as did Angie.
“Funny.”
That was so not true. Audrey looked down at me just checking. “Excuse me?”
It wasn’t true, I swear!
“Just
checking.” They kept laughing. I was the only one not because everyone picking
on me is not funny.
“Laugh it
up.” I sarcastically stated as they laughed some more at my expense.
“Alright,
enough picking on boner boy now.” I just rolled my eyes. “Let’s do
something.” Audrey was trying to think of something fun to do.
“I know,
let’s tickle Audrey!” I tickled her before she had a say. She fell over on
the couch and I just kept going. I looked over at Tay who was smiling and then
when I looked at him again his jaw was hanging open and his eyes were wide. Like
something went wrong. “What?” I stopped and looked at him. He was looking
out the window and then I saw why. Randi was looking at us. I jumped up and went
out there too her.
“You could
have told me you and Audrey we having some sort of relationship.” She didn’t
take her eyes off the cement.
“We’re
just friends and I was just tickling her, you know having fun.” I felt bad,
when really I shouldn’t. She’s the one who cheated on me.
“Well
I’ll let you get back to being friends then.” She started to leave. I
grabbed her arm and spun her around.
“No.” I
stated softly. She was looking into my eyes now. “What did you want, you
didn’t just come over here for nothing.” She just stood there. “Come on,
tell me.”
“Well I
came over to talk to you.” She looked back at the ground. I lifted her chin up
so I could see her eyes again. They had a glaze over them to make them shine
beautifully.
“Then talk
to me.” She took a deep breath.
“I was
talking to Tay about everything today. His advice was to just tell you because
you deserve to know. You do deserve to know the truth of everything. That night
I was jealous. Michelle and Rachel were all over you and I wasn’t able to just
show off the coolest boyfriend in the world. So I drank whatever was in sight. I
didn’t want that feeling inside me. It just made me worse. I was horny,
jealous, and lonely and then I saw Ike. I wasn’t thinking at all. I didn’t
want to feel that way anymore, so I thought Isaac could help me. He wasn’t
there either; he was just as trashed as I was. So I basically took advantage of
him, in a drunken stupor sort of way. I ruined everything is such a short matter
of time and I can’t live like this anymore. I love you so much.” She had
tears streaming down her face. I wiped them away.
“It’s
okay.” She looked back up at me. The moonlight was filling up our eyes. Just
then a shooting star streaked through the sky. “I hope my wish comes true.”
“What’s
your wish?” She looked up at me.
“You.” I
leaned down and kissed her. That kiss was so powerful. I could tell my heart was
racing and that her knees were getting weak. It was none other than perfect.
We broke away
after a minute. She had tears in her eyes once again.
The End
