Victor's pov
"Where have you been?" David asked me as I entered the house. He was sitting on the couch with school books on the table.
"Just here and there. Wait a minute." I sat beside him. "If a girl catches you kissing another girl, then you try to explain what she saw and she says to never mind. What does that mean?"
"Hey, Sneaky bastard who did you kiss?" He teased me.
"Really? Just answer my question "
"I can only answer that question if you tell me who you kissed."
"This blondie from the Education department."
"Oh my goodness. You sneaky bastard. " He hit me in my stomach playfully.
"Just answer me!" I almost yelled.
"Fine, I don't know but why did you want to explain to her? Do you like her?" My face twitched at the sound of that. "Who is she?" He asked curiously.
"Who said something about liking anyone? Idiot," I punched him in his stomach and went up to my room. Douchebag.
Me? Like Eloise? Nah. Well, she's pretty, got big boobs too and she's interesting. I think her ass is cute too, exactly my type. Hey Victor, what are you thinking about?
I entered my room, laid down on my bed, and closed my eyes, David came in after me. Fuck I should have locked the door after I got in.
"It's obvious you like someone " He uttered and he joined me on my bed. " Your bed is softer than mine,"
"How am I supposed to like someone I just met?" I asked him not opening my eyes.
"I like girls within two seconds of eye contact."
"I'm not you."
"Okay, tell me. When you are around the girl in question do you do things that you don't normally do?" I shot my eyes open.
"Does that mean I like Eloise?" I blurted out.
" Eloise, my friend from the party? No man, dude I like her too,"
"Who do you think she would prefer?" I scoffed.
"Me because I know how to treat women right. Can you do that? You even got stood up by your prom date, thank goodness I came to your rescue,"
I sat up and dragged him by his shirt. "Yes, I can," I yelled at his face and released my hold on his shirt. "I didn't have a prom date. I just lied that night. I didn't want to seem like a bum in front of the boys,"
"Oh boy, you didn't have to leak on my face. I knew you didn't have a date. How did you think I set up that girl? She was one of the girls that wanted to sleep with you." He said laughing out loud. "BTW was messing with you. I don't like El," He continued laughing.
"Get out of my room," I said pushing him off my bed, he got up and climbed my bed. "Jacob is proposing to Cecilia next week. He wants us to help prepare."
"He chose to propose during our exams. I can never understand that guy." He laughed. " I plan on hosting a trip after our exams. Do you want to go?"
"Nah. I will be busy with the company,"
"I would invite Eloise, you two can get to bond together."
"How?"
"Leave that to me," He patted my back. "Your wits are so slow when it comes to things like this that's why I'm helping you. It's not for free this time."
"What do you want in exchange?"
"I don't want it now."
That was the last thing I heard him say before I slept off. I'm happy he's my best friend anyway. Maybe fairytales are true.
Eloise's pov
A part of me felt bad for telling Victor not to follow me. I needed the space. Victor seemed like a good guy, seeing him during the day helped me confirm what Tory said. He was not built or anything special but his looks. His looks were the key, I have never seen a pretty and handsome guy.
I can't keep him off my mind. This is probably a crush because before I met him I felt a little attracted to David. I still prefer Victor, he seems interesting. I don't know why I keep thinking there is something up with my besties. It's like they are hiding something from me.
After graduation, Emmanuel has to back to his hometown. He's going back to head his dad's publishing company, Tory will still be here. My hunch tells me they are dating but I can't be so sure. I will just wait for them to tell me when are ready. My hunch is never wrong.
My relationship with my family has not been smooth. I do have a stepsister, Rose's daughter. We were so close before her mom sent her off to her dad's. She's married now. She's only three years older than I am, she has a kid too. Everything happened too fast.
I was hurt because she cut me off. Who does that? We were like actual sisters, we only stayed together for a year but we bonded like we were twins.
It rained tonight, a virgin like me just sat in front of my laptop sipping hot coffee with a blanket around my body, writing articles. I dated a few guys in high school but no one wanted to sleep with a tomboy.
All those guys I dated just toyed with me like they always asked me out, they stop texting back and acting like they don't know me after a few days. I found out it was a thing among boys to ask a tomboy out when they lost a bet. That's why I never really dated anyone in college. No. I'm not going to date anyone until I stop schooling.
Today's lunch was awkward with Victor and my dad. Rose was pretending to be my mom again today, I can't even stand her sight, she placed her over mine, eww. I don't just want my dad to be heartbroken because he loves her and maybe she loves him too. Of course I studied a little after I finished writing my article then I listened to Kehlani's SweetSexySavage album before I fell asleep.
