“How many times have you kissed?” Sam asks, while they all try to figure out if he likes me or not. Which I know he doesn’t.
“Twice, they’ve kissed twice,” Hannah chimes in. I avoid making eye contact, because she’ll know it’s not twice anymore. It’s four times.
Don’t get me wrong, I love girl talk… when it’s not about me.
“You guys kissed twice, right, Al?” Hannah asks suspiciously, eyeing me. She knows I’m not telling the full truth.
“Uh-huh,” I reply, swirling my drink around in the cup with my straw.
“Alex, you kissed him more than twice!! What! When?! Where?! How?! Oh my god! Spill NOW!”
Damn! Nice job, Alex, now you’ve got to spill. This is what happens when I drink-I can’t lie worth a damn, I get feisty as hell, and I get seriously horny.
“Hey! That rhymed,” I said, trying to divert the conversation.
“Alex, spill it! Is he good?” Zara demanded.
“Um, well… just to be clear, he kissed me first. But… ugh…” I straightened up, preparing to spill the beans. What had I gotten myself into?
“So he kissed me when you were all at the Christmas fair.”
“Was this before or after your cupcake fight?” Sam teased.
“Kind of during, kind of after. The fight led him to do it. Like… it just… happened?”
“Did you kiss him back?” Hannah chimed in.
I just shrugged and said, “Kind of… look, it’s been a while, you know?” They all just smirked at me.
“I fucking knew it! I knew he liked you!” Andy exclaimed.
“What? No! He doesn’t like me, what makes you think that?”
“When he called you on the phone, he was worried that you were freaked out about him apologizing to you when we finished our last exam and Selena was attacking you. Remember?”
I nodded.
“Well, that’s when I figured out he liked you.”
“Did he say that to you?” I asked her, and she shook her head no. “Then you don’t know if he likes me or not, he never told you. So I’m just going to tell you he doesn’t like me. He never has.”
“Did he tell you that?” Hannah asked, throwing my own words back at me.
I shook my head no.
“Well, then you don’t know he doesn’t either!” She retorted smugly. Touch?, Hannah, touch?!
“On a scale of a peck to a make-out, what did the kiss rate as?” Sam finally asked.
“Make-out, like… against the wall make-out,” I admitted, feeling my cheeks heat up.
“OMG! What?!? That’s hot!” I rolled my eyes at her. This was so embarrassing. I just wanted to change the subject.
“Any more make-out sessions that we should know about?” Andy asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
“You guys aren’t going to let this go, are you?” I asked, to which they all shook their heads no.
“Fine… he kissed me yesterday when we put the kids in my bed for a nap. He asked me to forgive him for fighting with Wes and kissed me. There, that’s it! Moving on!”
“No, no, go back! Describe the kiss, Alex, we want details!” Zara was prying for information about these kisses that really didn’t mean anything to either of us.
“Why? This is so embarrassing, guys, can’t we talk about something else?”
“Embarrassing? You just got kissed by the sexiest guy in the country not once but twice recently! How the hell are you embarrassed? I’d be climbing him if I were in your position. So would every girl in the world.”
“You kiss him then!”
“Girl, spill it now!” Sam demanded, munching on her sour patch kids, which she refused to share.
“It was a softer kiss, it wasn’t a make-out. It was… more… ugh, I can’t believe I’m about to say this… stupid alcohol… it was more intimate.”
“Ahhhhhh! Yessss, he likes you! You lucky bitch!” Zara screamed, throwing chocolate chips at me.
“No, he doesn’t. He’ll go back to ignoring me, just wait and see. He kisses loads of girls, it’s not really anything new to him.”
“Alex, I’ve seen the way he looks at you. I think he actually does like you,” Hannah said softly. I just shook my head, disagreeing with her.
“You’re wrong, he doesn’t like me like that. It’s Knox, for God’s sake, he likes anything with two sets of lips. You’ll see him next week plastered in People magazine with a different girl on his arm.
He likes women too much and they like him. He’s a player who played me, so I’m not getting involved with that fresh after a breakup. I’m not reading into it at all.”
“Suit yourself,” Andy shrugged.
“But nobody says anything about this to my brothers, and don’t tease him about it either. It’s not a thing, it never will be one, so leave it alone. I don’t want it to be a big drama.”
They all nodded their heads in unison. I knew they would keep their word and not bring it up.
“So why did he and Wes drag Caleb away from you on New Year’s?” Sam tried to change the topic but didn’t really succeed. I shrugged because I wasn’t really sure why they dragged him away from me.
“I don’t know, I kissed him when Knox said I couldn’t. Then he dragged him away from me and I didn’t see him again?”
“So you kissed Caleb and he told you not to? Come on, Alex, if that doesn’t scream ‘I like you’ then I don’t know what will?” Sam agreed with what Andy was saying.
