The rest of the day goes by quicker than expected. Surprisingly,Britney and I sorted our shit out.Turns out she's held a grudge all these years because Jalissa was her best friend in kindergarten.She just wanted me to apologize.I did.
Found out she's been dating Danniel for over a month now.Shoot me.
As for Carlos...I haven't quite figured him out yet but...he's cool.
It's now 10pm.
"Britney you should definitely stay the night."I insist.
"Really?"She genuinely smiles.
"It's not like you haven't before."I tease knowing what I just said is 100% the truth.
Everyone joins in laughter and the room fills with pure happiness.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone make Danny this happy.
I like it.
We're no longer watching The flash.Instead,we're all playing cards while jamming to decade hits.
Carlos and Danniel are in a team and Britney and I are in a team.
Long story short,it was hard to focus because I could feel Carlos' eyes on me the entire time.It makes me nervous when he does that.
I think I'm high key crushing on him,and I have a feeling he knows.He's such a teddy bear on the inside.He puts out a tough act ,one can say he's unapproachable.
After playing 5 different card games we decide to call it quits.
"We won!"Britney and I cheer in unison while doing what seems to be a victory dance.
The boys just watch us and don't say a word.
All they do is smile.
When I notice Carlos bite his lip while slowly scanning me from head to toe,I accidentally knock Britney over.
"I'm so sorry!"We both burst into laughter.
"Are you okay?"Danniel helps us both up while trying his best not to laugh.
"Thanks Danny."
"Thanks Babe."
This is going to need some serious getting use to.
"Thea can I talk to you real quick?"he asks hesitantly.
"Of course.Let's go to the kitchen.I need a soda anyways."
"Calithea..."
"What?"
"I'm really sorry about everything.Can't help but think about how you found out."
I quickly rush over to give him a warm reassuring hug and tell him "Relax.I know you were just afraid of what I'd think of you."
When I let go,he smiles and says, "I love you okay?"
"I know.I love you more ugly."
I then grab a soda and 3 beers from the fridge and he says, "You like Carlos don't you?"
I almost choke on my spit.
"Wait what?You can tell?"
He chuckles then replies, "All I'm going to say is,he's the only guy I believe is worthy of your time.I trust him with your heart.He's not like Xavier.He's not a manipulator.Plus,I've seen how he looks at you.That's why I invited Britney over.I'm not about to third wheel in my own home."He chuckles then adds, "Piece of advice...Don't fight it."
"But what if..."
"I said don't fight it Calithea fuck.Must you overthink everything?" We both laugh.
We then join the rest with drinks in our hands.
