Different Borders

Chapter 11.

I couldn't stop thinking over everything that happened at the movies tonight, I had been tossing and turning all night as Riley slept soundly on the sofa across the room, I knew I shouldn't have allowed him to sit anywhere near me but I'm too polite to be rude. I immediately regretted any of it after what he'd said, like is he trying to mess with me?! Play with my feelings like he does to every other girl? Am I just a doll to him? Here for his amusement? No I don't think so. So why am I letting it bother me? I thought back to it all, as soon as I'd sat down is regretted My choice of seating , we sat on the third back row off to the side on a small row of seating, there was only three chairs on this part of the row and Riley sat in the spot by the wall, I sat next to her and the isle seat was empty, until five minutes after Phoebe and her new friends had walked in, Carlo had taken it upon himself to sit next to me, he seemed very casual about it but I was very sceptic about it. ' yes?' I said to him not taking my eyes of the screen. Riley noticed he had sat in our row, she looked a little confused for a second but then turned back to the screen and munched on her popcorn. ' what's your problem with me huh? Why can't I just sit with you and it be considered a nice gesture?' He turned his head toward me as he said it.
' because it doesn't seem like you do it in any means of it being a nice gesture' I tried to keep my voice down as we were getting annoyed glares from a young couple a few rows ahead. ' and how would you know whether anything I do is like me? You don't even know me.' He replied calmly now staring at the trailers playing on the screen, ' well I know the type' I said with finality hoping he'd leave.
' what type? The popular type? Not all people are the same as one another. I may hang with them but I could be nothing like them, for instance when they look at you they see annoying freak, when I look at you I see pretty smart girl who knows how to hold up on her own.' He didn't even look at me as he said it so I knew it was a lie, well the ' what he sees' part, I'm sure they all see the geek part when they look at me. ' nice try' I replied back. ' will I see you at Sofia's party tomorrow?' He asked still not looking at me. ' well I was invited as a plus one so I guess so but I know for a fact Sofia won't want me there so it's debatable' I stated clearly showing that I don't care. ' please can we talk? You can even dowse me with your drink again, I just really want to talk?' Something in his voice didn't sound right, not like a cocky bastard but more like a sincere guy, which I assumed was an act. 'Why?' I asked quietly 'I'm not sure but I just know I need to talk to you and something tells me you don't want it to be here' after he said that he turned my face toward him with his hand and gave me a small kiss on the lips and turned his head toward the movie which finally started. I couldn't help but be shocked, I also couldn't help but feel lots of stares directed at me, I turned my head to see a gaping Riley, it was a smile on her face but she looked shocked. Hers wasn't the only stare though, I looked behind me to see an extremely shocked Phoebe and an overly angry Sofia glaring at me, I turned back to Carlos to see him staring at me with a look I didn't quite understand, before I turned back to the movie and ignored them all.

It was now two fifty one am and my eyes were screaming for sleep but everyone I closed by eyes I saw his, and my eyes flew back open again, he's got amazing eyes but I can't, I cannot let this happen, I can't do what every other girl does and fall for his eyes or his jaw or his laugh or the way his hair is constantly messed up in a way it looks like he just woke up, but in the most adorable way, or how he dresses so casual but it just looks so sexy on him.... Oh shit.
