Maybe We Will: A PoddEarth Fan Fic

17. Un Fvcked

Podd

"So, Tol, huh? Didn't I ask you out first? Tsk. I shouldn't have introduced you guys to each other."

Mik made a face at me. We were at the library for the final leg of our thesis preparation and it had been about a couple days after I agreed to try it out and go out with Tol.

"Mik, we both know you just asked me out for convenience you lazy turd. You don't really like me that way. If I did agree to go out with you and choose someone who doesn't really like me, then I might just as well throw myself at Earth."

He snickered and shook his head.

"I know you like Earth, but I didn't know it's that serious."

I rolled my eyes at him.

I didn't really straightforwardly admitted my feelings towards Earth but I knew, Mik was just all into it.

"Now you know."

He shook his head.

"And Tol? What is he? A filler or something?"

I shrugged.

"I told him time and again how I already have someone I like. But he's very persistent and he kept on asking for a chance to change my mind and so I agreed. This is me giving him and myself a chance."

Mik narrowed his eyes at me.

"And?"

I nonchalantly scanned a book.

"And let's just hope Tol doesn't fvck things up until I can finally move on from Earth. That way, I could give him the chance he deserves."

I heaved a sigh.

Tol did fvck things up last night and for the life of me, I hadn't yet to move on from Earth.

And the jerk just told me something about chasing me last night and I didn't know what to think anymore as after the make out, we spent the remaining of the night drinking and partying like crazy.

I looked to my left shoulder and saw Earth's head lulled on it as he snored a little.

His front on the bed as almost half of his body was cradled to mine. No wonder I had been feeling so numb when I woke up with a pounding head and that memory of the talk I had with Mik.

I closed my eyes.

I knew everything was real.

I wasn't dreaming.

Earth indeed was beside me and he just stirred as he turned on his side towards me. His right arm snaked to my neck.

I could still feel his slight snoring on my neck.

I stared at him before I took his hand from around my neck and held it on my chest.

I love this guy.

And by some miracle, he just told me he felt the same way last night.

A part of me was adamant to not believe him. But a bigger part of me wanted to take all of what Earth had just said.

I couldn't help but think that maybe, Earth was just being possessive of me as he felt like he was losing a friend and I didn't want to hope for it as the pain would genuinely be unbearable.

But his kiss.

It spoke volume and I couldn't help but believe.

I groaned and massaged my temple with my free hand.
