Chapter 4: Denial

Another month went by and I was going crazy, so I decided to do something about it, I told Chad I would go out with him, just one date to see how it goes.

"Hey, Alexis." That sweet voice.

"Hey, Kristy."

"How's Biology, getting better now?"

"Yeah, not amazing but I'm getting there." I smiled.

"Think we can move today's lesson for tomorrow? I have a date." I said to her.

"Yeah, have a great time and I'll see you tomorrow." She said before leaving.

To be honest I don't even want to go to this date, I'm just going cause maybe I don't want to admit that I like Kristy.

"Hey, Kristy." Ciara said to her.

"Oh hey." She sighed.

"You know if you like her make a move." Fernando said to her.

"I don't want to scare her, I mean she's very confused."

"Well, we know she likes you. So maybe don't go after her, let her come to you."

"Make her jealous?" She asked.

"More like be casual, don't be too touchy with her." Ciara said to her.

"Okay."

............

Night of the date came, woohoo. Chad picked me up, and he took me to a restaurant it was nice to talk to him, he's more of a friend type of guy, for me at least. I mean he's cute, I'm just not attracted to him in that way. We went to walk on the park, it was a breezy night.

"Did you have fun today?" He asked.

"I did, and you?"

"Same." He smiled.

He leaned in and kissed me, I kissed him back figured it would snap me out of whatever thought I was having about Kristy. Except I didn't feel anything with this kiss.

"So, that was-"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Chad."

"It's fine, I guess some people just aren't meant to be." He told me.

"Yeah, I'm sure you will find a girl that will like you in the way you want."

"Maybe we will both find someone who will make us feel that spark." He said.

"Yeah." Except mine isn't a guy.

.........

I arrived home and was met by mom.

"How was the date?"

"It was ok." I shrugged.

"No sparks?"

"Phooey." I said as she chuckled.

"Well, baby girl." She said while hugging me, "He's not the one for you, open your eyes, the one for you might be closer than you think."

"Maybe." I hugged her back.

"Go to bed, tomorrow Kristy is coming for your lesson."

"I will, but first I need to go to give my baby girl a kiss." I said before going to her room.

"Hey, baby girl." I said.

"Hey, mommy." She hugged me.

"Want to sleep with me today?"

"Yes." She said as picked her up.

We went to my room and put her on my bed, as soon as she hit the pillow she was out. I changed into pj's and just watched a movie. My mind went back to Kristy, what is wrong with me, before her, I just didn't like guys in that way never knew why, then she comes and makes me question everything.

............

I woke up did my daily routine and Aria was already up.

"Morning, mommy."

"Morning, Baby girl." I said while picking her up.

"What are we doing today?"

"Well, I have to study biology, and you can watch a movie or play with nana." I said tickling her. "But first things first, let's get you ready."

After getting Aria ready, I let her watch a movie, the doorbell rang and I went to open it.

"Hey, Kristy."

"Hey." She smiled.

"Ready for a fun day of biology." she chuckled.

"Oh yeah, I'm very excited." I said making her laugh.

We went outside to study. She has really plump lips, yes I'm supposed to focus on biology not her. Ugh what's wrong with me.

Two hours went by and Aria came outside. "Hi, Kristy." She waved at her.

"Hi, Aria." She smiled at her.

"Want to come out for some ice cream with us? Mommy always takes me for ice cream." She said while bouncing in her spot.

--Kristy--

So much for trying to keep away till she figures it out. The plan was to tutor her and get out. But I can't seem to say no to her daughter, I love kids.

"If it's okay with your mom, then I have no problem."

"Please mommy."

"Of course, it would be great if you join us." She said while smiling. Ah those cute dimples, and those lips. Okay focus.

"Well, your classes are over, so whenever you two are ready." I said as Alexis got up and grabbed Aria.

"Let's go." I smiled.
