Let’s skip to the good part.
The kiss cam landed on Steven and me and you know how Steven is.
Showy motherfucker. He kissed you on the screen and Caleb got pissed, didn’t he?
OMG MIA! This is huge.
Yeah . . . lol
What happened afterwards? Did you talk to him?
Well, yeah.
AND?!
We kind of kissed.
Mia Evelyn Landry. What do you mean kind of?!?
Okay, not kind of. He said it should have been him who kissed me, not Steven and then we kissed.
Holy shit, I am living for this right now.
Well, don’t because I’m pretty sure it won’t be happening again.
Oh no, why?
If my dad gets ahold of him and has a talk with him, I’m fairly certain he’ll never look in my direction again. My dad doesn’t want a scandal on his hands.
I swear to God, if your dad messes this up, I will skin him alive.
I don’t know, it was just kind of weird after the kiss. We stopped and he just had this look in his eye. Not like he regretted it necessarily, but almost as if he felt guilty.
I have faith, Mia. One of us has to.
He’s so emotionally unavailable and I’ve never done just casual with someone.
Well, now might be your chance.
Everyone who comes into your life isn’t meant to stay. It’s not always supposed to be that deep or that serious. Just let yourself have a little bit of fun.
And what if he doesn’t want that? What if he doesn’t want anything with me?
Then fuck him, that’s his loss.
Go sleep with his best friend or his brother or something.
You’re such a menace.
I gotta go, but we’ll talk later.
Love you!
Locking my phone, I tuck it into my pocket, collect my bags, and head downstairs to get ready to go to Caleb’s. Anxiety rolls in the pit of my stomach as I think over my conversation with my dad, what Willow said, and how last night came to an end.
In a way, I feel foolish for how I responded to Caleb and the way I kissed him back. I know that Willow is right and this doesn’t have to be anything serious. It might not be anything more than a kiss, and the thought of trying to pursue anything with him after that literally makes me feel like I’m going to break out in hives.
I can’t control Caleb anymore than I can control the outcome from us kissing last night. He let me walk away and maybe he was feeling just as confused by it as I was.
