Also, not much sex stuff is going on in here, so if you're only going to read this because of that, then you might as well go. And of course the undying theme, if you're disgusted by Boys love, or are underage, you might as well go too. (I don't mind about the underage thing, if you want to read this, I can't stop you.:))
--------------------|~*~|-------------------- Unbroken Chapter 3: Let's Be Friends
"Hi.. Jonathan" I answered. How did he know my number?
"Sorry for calling so early. I didn't know you're still asleep." He said briefly.
"No, it's ok. I was just going to get up anyway. How did you get my number anyways?" I asked.
"Oh, it's on your Facebook. Sorry, again." He said.
"It's ok. Stop apologizing already." I said.
"So.. I was wondering if we can hang out today. I don't know, maybe go to the mall or something. It's really boring here in my house." He said. Why me? He could have asked somebody, why me?
"umm.. I don't know. I don't usually go out on-". Before I could finish up my sentence, he interrupted me.
"Please? It's just, I don't have anybody else to ask. I haven't really met somebody else since I moved here except you. And since you're the first friend I've got here-" Well, that got me to say yes, so I just interrupted him.
"Fine, I'll go. What time?" I asked.
"Maybe at 1:00? I have a car, so I can pick you up." He replied.
"Ok, do you know my address? Wait, do I have to ask?" I said teasing him.
"Um, no. It's in your Facebook too." He chuckled.
"Stalker! I'm not really sure how to feel, be scared or be glad. I've never had a stalker before." I added teasing him more.
"Whatever! So see you later?" he asked.
"See you later." I said then hung up. God he's so cute. I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out right now. I'm going to hang out with Jonathan today. With JONATHAN!!!!!! I'm so nervous and so happy at the same time. OH, GOD!!! Wait, why am I acting like a school girl? It's just a `friends' hang out, nothing more. I looked at the time and it was 11:00 am. I've got two hours until Jonathan gets here. I went to the kitchen to eat cereal. I think nobody is home. Dad and Cindy have morning shift today, and I think Macky is hanging out with his friends. I don't really go out on Saturdays. All I want to do is just relax at home and sleep. I'm such a lazy ass. But today is different. Today I'm hanging out with one of the hottest guys in school. Wish me luck.
I ate my cereal then went to my room to get my mp3 player and my mini speaker. Afterwards I went to the bathroom and closed the door. I set up my mp3 player and mini speaker, then I hit shuffle. `Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen just came up and I couldn't help but sing along. I filled the tub with water while singing along. This song is really good. What? I'm really in a good mood right now. Just be happy for me would you?
When the tub had enough water, I went in. It's so relaxing. I can just stay in here forever. But I can't do that. After a while I stood up. I turned off my mp3 player then dried myself. I went to my closet to find something to wear. I can't find anything. Shit. I can't think of anything. Oh well, I just took the blue shirt with the green mushroom in it and that says `1-Up'. You know, the mushroom that was on Super Mario. I like Super Mario. Hehehe. I took a boxer briefs and jeans then I'm done. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I just combed my hair. No need to use gel. It doesn't work to my hair anyways. I'm ready to go. I checked the time and its only 11:55. I have at least an hour to spare. I turned on my PS3 and played Dead Space. I really like this game. I really have fun just by killing those monsters. It was scary at the same time, though. Imagine being stuck in outer space when your ship is wrecked and it was surrounded by so many monsters. Terrifying, isn't it?
While I was playing I heard my phone ring. I looked at the time first; it was only 12:25. I thought it was Jonathan already, but it was Denise.
"Hey Denise, what's up?" I asked.
"I'm here with Daniel at the mall. We're going to eat then afterwards maybe watch `This Means War'. Do you want to come with us?" she asked.
"Umm.. Denise, I really want to, but-" before I could say what I was going to say. She cut me off.
"Please don't say no. You always say no when I ask you, please say yes this time?" she pleaded.
"I really can't, I have other plans for today, maybe next time?" I said. I hope she doesn't ask what it is. As much as I want to tell her, I know she's just going to tease me. And I'm already nervous. I don't want her to intensify it. Wow, did I just say `intensify'? I am a nerd. I really am.
"What is it now? You're busy cleaning the house'? or I promised Macky to play Playstation with him today'?" she said. I admit. I made up some excuses just for them to leave me alone. I just want to be alone and be with myself every Saturday. I'll just tell her what it is this time.
"I'm hanging out with somebody today." I bluntly said.
"Oh. With who, one of your imaginary friends?" Damn, why don't you just leave me alone Denise?
"With Jonathan! There, are you happy now? Feel free to tease me." I said getting a little bit angry.
"With the-one-I-couldn't-get-off-my-mind guy? My little Punky is growing up." She said, teasing me. See what I'm talking about? I want to kill her right now.
"I know what you're thinking, and he is not gay. He just asked me to hang out with him today. That's all. He said that I am his first friend here. How can I say no to THAT?" I said.
"Wow, well, you got it bad. But do I have to remind you-"
"No, I know. He's straight and I can't fall for him. I know the deal already. It's just a friend's hang out. You don't need to be the protective mom right now." I said teasing her.
"I'm serious, Punky. Just be careful, okay."
"I know you're serious. That's why I love you. Always being protective of me."
"Shut Up. And you know I love you, too. Where are you going to hang out anyways?" she asked.
"To the mall, maybe eat and stuff. Maybe we're going to watch a movie too. Maybe The Devil Inside or-" I heard the doorbell rang.
"Denise, I think he's here. Talk to you later" I hang up the phone and went to open the door. There he was, standing by our doorstep. God, he's so gorgeous. He's wearing a blue t-shirt with the writings `rock n' roll never dies' on it, shorts and sneakers. He had his hair spiked up. Damn, he's getting more and more gorgeous by minute. I can't stop staring. God, Adrian. Get a grip.
"Hi, you ready?" he asked.
"I'm just going to turn off the Playstation and we're ready to go. Come In" I said.
"Nice place by the way" he said. We only live in an apartment (The houses here in Norway are so freaking expensive). But this apartment is big enough. It has 4 rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. Seriously, you would think that this is a house because it's so big.
"Thanks, just sit there, please. I'll be back in a minute. I turned off the Playstation and went to my room to grab my wallet and keys. I went back to the living room and saw Jonathan sitting in the sofa and tapping his feet. Is he nervous? Why would he be?
"Ready to go?" I asked him.
"Yeah, let's go" he said. By that we went outside of the apartment and I locked the door. WOW. His car is so cool. It's a BMW M3 Cabriolet.
"Nice ride" I said.
"Thanks" he replied. By that he started the car and we made our way to the mall. The ride was silent, awkwardly silent. I wanted to say something, like a conversation starter, but I chickened out. When we got to the mall he asked me where to eat, I just said that wherever is fine. So we went to McDonalds' to eat. We ordered our food and sat on the bench beside the window.
We ate in silent. Seriously, this is getting more and more awkward. I just can't take it anymore. This is killing me.
"Well, this is awkward" I said.
"It is, isn't it?" he replied.
"Yeah, so whatcha want to talk about?" I asked.
"Since we know little about one another, why don't we just get to know each other?" he suggested.
"Good idea" I said. We just came up with random questions. I found out that his birthday is January 10, that he likes to listen to Hip-hop and Alternative songs. He has a sister and a brother. They're both in the US. He lives with his aunt right now. His mother is a businesswoman and his father past away 5 years ago because of cancer. I felt sorry for him. I know the feeling of losing a parent. And it sucks. Well, he asked some things about me too since my Facebook don't have a lot about me. (Hahaha, this is actually his words. He really is stalking me. And I like it. Hahaha)
After our little talk, we went to the cinema. We settled for The Devil Inside. I know; another horror story. He's the one who wanted to see it. I just have to be brave and pray that I will survive this one. We went to the booth to pay for the tickets.
"Don't worry, I got this." He said while reaching for his pockets.
"No, I'll pay for mine." I said, reaching for my wallet.
"I was the one who invited you, after all. So let me pay for this time. You can pay for the next time, okay?" he said. There's a next time? OH HELL YEAH! He bought the drinks and popcorn too. I just hope this movie is good.
Well, the movie was great. It's not that good, but it's great. It was 7:30 when Jonathan brought me home. I really had fun with him. I think we're going to be great friends. I invited him in to the apartment to have a drink. There's still nobody home when we arrived. I think Dad and Cindy worked overtime. And Macky is still at his friends. After a while he said that he needs to go.
"I really had fun today" I said.
"Yeah, me too. We should do this more often." He replied. He replied. Yeah. I would like that a lot.
"Sure, so, see you on Monday?" I asked him. We're on the door now.
"Sure, see you. Bye Adrian." Jonathan answered. I was closing the door when Jonathan said wait.
"I need to confirm something before I leave" Wait, confirm what? I was getting nervous now. He puts his hands in front of me.
"Friends? I know this is so crazy, but I wanted to make sure" he said. He's a little weird, just too cute. I don't know what came over me. I just reached for him and gave him a hug. I guess he didn't expect that because he tensed up a little while, but he relaxed. His back is so smooth. And that smell, I really like it, it's so... him.
"What was that for?" he asked when I let go.
"I don't shake hands with my friends, dumbass. It's too formal. I hope that confirms it. And thanks again for today, I really had fun." I smiled.
"You're welcome." Jonathan smiled. We sort of stared at each other. Why do I suddenly feel this tension between us? Luckily, my phone rang and I had to say goodbye to him.
"Goodbye, Adrian." He said before leaving.
Well, let me just say that this is the best day ever for me. It's really fun just hanging out with Jonathan. This is getting tougher. The more I don't want to fall for him, the more I do it. Shit, I can't handle this. Soon I might break. But at least I can handle it for now.
After Jonathan left, I just went straight to my room and thought of how my day went. It wasn't bad. It's really good. Hehehe. I can't stop thinking about Jonathan. He's just... awesome. I don't know how but I think I fall asleep thinking about him. Sunday came along and nothing really happened. I just chilled at home. Denise called though. She asked how yesterday went, and I told her. Not about the hug though, she might freak out. Daniel called too, just checking up on me. Hahaha, same old Daniel.
Monday came along and well, let's sum it up. In Chemistry, nothing really happened. Just same old boring chemistry. At least Ms. Taylor is good at teaching it, or else I'm gonna be really bored at that class. In English, we talked about Native Americans, their history and such. I was so glad that they showed us a film, or else I might have been asleep the whole period. Lunch came and Denise introduced her friend to us. Her name is Lindsay. She's is really cute. The glasses that she's wearing really suit her. She's in the Math club. Finally, a friend that can help me with math. I just ask her if she can help me with something and we just hit it off. She's really cool. Now there's the five of us who sits at the table, Me, Daniel, Denise, Jonathan and Lindsay. Jonathan said that he got accepted in the team. Good for him. After lunch it was music. Mr. Lopez said that he's still planning what we're going to do this semester so we can just talk silently for today. I just went over to Denise and asked her what song we should do at the contest. We didn't have P.E. today since Mr. Green called sick and they didn't found a substitute teacher. Since we're free for today, Jonathan asked me to hang out with him. Hmm, it's really tempting. But I said that I can't. I really don't want to hang out with him too often. I'm just being careful. I can't be too attached. So I just told him we can hang out next time.
I was on the bus station when somebody called me. It was Denise.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"Nothing much. Meet me at the mall today? She asked.
"Sure, where are you? I'm on the bus station."
"I'm still at school, I'm just going to grab something on my locker and I'm on my way."
"Okay, See you" I said then hung up. Few minutes past and I saw Denise and Henry walking out of the school. Wait, why is she with Henry, and where's Daniel?
"Hey" Denise said.
"Hi. And Hello Henry" I smiled
"Hi. " he said. He's too fucking cute!!
"Where's Daniel?" I asked Denise.
"He can't make it, He has practice, again" she answered.
"Cool". I said. The bus came and we just got silent for a while. When we arrived at the mall, Denise suggested that we should eat. I just nodded my head. Henry on the other hand had his mini CD player on and looking for a new CD to play. I noticed that he got the new Demi Lovato CD.
"You have Unbroken?" I asked. I'm shocked. For a guy like him, I never figured he could be a fan of Demi's.
"Yeah. Why?" he asked.
"Dude, that album is like, awesome!" I said.
"Well, you never know huh? We have something in common." He said.
We arrived at Mcdonalds and sat while Denise got our orders for us since we're kind of busy talking. We have a lot in common. He likes some of the artist I like too. For example: One Republic, B.o.B, Nicki Minaj and all others. I find it really easy to talk to Henry. Not like with Jonathan because I get nervous whenever I'm around him. With Henry, it's just... natural.
"Well, I never expected this. I thought I would never hit it off with you. You seemed different. But now I think that you're normal" he said, kidding me.
"Gee, thanks. Nice to meet you too." I said. He just laughed about that. Denise came back with our food and we just chatted for a while. I really enjoyed hanging out with Denise and Henry today. Especially Henry. We really have a lot in common. And I hope that we can be good friends in the future.
To be continued...
