The cabin

Chapter 19

Avi POV

We walked back just like we would regularly, without any suspicion. When we joined everyone they casted their gazes upon us awaiting the news that we were dating. But that never came. Kirstie went to stand by Mitch and I stood by Kevin, giving the impression we had nothing to announce. I saw Mitch lean over and whisper something in Kirstie's ear and she shook her head no in response. He probably asked her if she told me her feelings, she hid it so well. She was such a great actor. I however, am not, so I had to turn away to keep from smiling. Usually, I'm very serious, but when it comes to Kirstie I just can't control myself.

"Hey, man? Soooo did uh..." Kevin asked me.

"What?... Oh.. No.." I looked down trying to look upset.

"She didn't like you back?" He asked shocked.

"No, it's not that. I just.... I didn't have the courage to tell her." I looked down again.

"Oh...." He paused. "It's okay man you'll get around to it eventually." He patted my back.

"I don't know. Maybe I should just give up. It's obvious she doesn't like me back."

"Come on. Don't say that dude." He said.

"I don't know. We'll see." I said as the rest of the group and I started making our way back to the cabin.

The hike seemed to last forever, and I couldn't talk to Kirstie. I didn't like it. We just started dating, but I can already tell I don't ever want to leave her side. How can I fall so in love with someone so fast?

Kirstie POV

It seemed to be taking forever to get to the cabin. Not talking to Avi is honestly one of the worst things ever. All I want to do is cuddle and just, talk. I don't know how we're going to pull this off, it's going to be the most difficult thing I've ever done!

"Here we are!" Scott said, unlocking the door.

"Yes! Finally!"

"Why are you so excited?" He chuckled.

Shoot, did I say that outloud?..

"I... Uh... I'm just really tired. That's all." I lied.

"Ah, same. I could sleep for about a week. Swimming tires you out huh?" He asked everyone.

"Yeah, man! Sleep sounds so good right now!" Kevin said.

"It does. You're right." Mitch said, grogerly dragging himself to his room.

"Yeah, I could go for some sleep." Avi said, his voice deeper than before, sounding exhausted. Poor thing.

"Alright, goodnight y'all." Scott said, going to his room.

"Goodnight." We all replied.

Kevin, Esther, Avi, and I walked upstairs to our rooms.

"Goodnight." Esther and Kevin said to us as they entered their rooms.

"Night." Avi said.

"Goodnight, sleep well." I said and we walked to our rooms.

We got to the point where we go our separate ways to our rooms, and we went to go change. Once I was done I peered my head out my door to make sure Esther and Kevin were in their rooms. I went to Avi's door and knocked. He opened the door, dressed in his everyone loves basses T-shirt and baggy pj bottoms hanging loosely on his hips.

"Come here." I grabbed Avi's hand and pulled him into my room.

"O-okay." He studdered.

I sat criss-crossed on my bed with my back leaning on the head of the bed and patted the spot in front of me. He layed on his side facing me grabbing my hand, running his thumb in circles over my skin.
