Chapter 14

Time will tell

Xavier’s POV

It’s like everywhere I look and go, they’re there. I can’t take my eyes off them and it makes me have a strange feeling. I can’t believe they are together, it’s just not possible. It must be true though, I asked Sienna and Alex and they both said it was true. I have no idea why they are together, he shouldn’t be with Zac, my best friend, but I guess he is the only other gay guy he knows. But still, I thought that he liked me…

“Xavier! Are you even listening to me?” I heard Sophie ask. I shook my head to get out of those silly thoughts and diverted my attention to Sophie, my girlfriend…I shouldn’t even be thinking about these sort of things.

“Yes? Sorry” I replied, grabbing her hand and swinging it lightly between us.

“As I was saying, I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight…you know on a date” she asked, with a cute little smile on her face.

I really did want to, but I wanted to talk to Zac so I couldn’t tonight, “Sorry babe, I’m actually busy tonight, what about tomorrow?” I asked kissing her on the lips. She nodded and pulled me closer for the kiss. I didn’t realise the time and when we finally pulled apart, a few minutes had passed and Zac was standing across from us, waiting impatiently.

“I have to go, I’ll text you tonight” I pulled her in for a quick peck and ran across the courtyard to Zac.

“Sorry, I got caught up” I said feeling little guilty that I made him wait.

“I can see that, let’s go” he replied with a slight bit of irritation and started the car. He opened the car door for me and I slipped inside. I sighed, it has been too long since I had talked to him properly. I had resulted to avoiding him, because he was always with him…

“Where are we going?” I asked curiously looking out the window trying to find something familiar.

“Imagine park” he answered swiftly and turned the radio on to fuel the silence. I awkwardly tapped my fingers on the arm rest to the beat and let my eyes rest a little. In about ten minutes we had reached the park and parked the car. I slowly got up and out of the car following behind him.

He sat on the playground and indicated for me to sit next to him. I climbed up and sat down, “Zac, are you really with…him?” I started, actually dreading the answer for an unknown reason.

“Um yeah I like him and I want to be with him since…” he said pausing.

“Oh right, since what exactly?” my heart literally dropped at that moment and what if it was something unbearable to hear.

“Nothing important, do you still like Sophie?” he questioned, locking his eyes with mine.

“Of course I do, she’s my girlfriend you know” I told him, avoiding his eyes.

“Yeah I’m just asking…do you like Aiden?”

I paused, hesitant, “…no I love Sophie…” what kind of questions are these, he’s like interrogating me.

“So if Sophie weren’t in the picture…”

“I-I don’t know, I would be single I guess, maybe go out with Sienna…” I lied, spitting out the first thing I could think of. What was I thinking, she was like my sister, not to mention his sister.

“Yeah right, I could never see you guys as a couple” he replied, a stupid smile appearing on his face. Why is he even smiling?

“I suppose I’d be single then…” I admitted, slightly getting more uncomfortable as he kept talking.

“Hypothetically, if I weren’t with Aiden, would you date him”

“Definitely not, I’m not gay, I only like girls” I replied defensively.

“So you’re saying you don’t have the slightest bit of interest in Aiden” he asked with a smirk, why the hell was he smirking about this, they were together.

“I-I’m not sure, you’re with him, so nothing will happen anyway” I replied, not thinking things through properly by this point.

“But what if I weren’t, would you?” he pushed.

“Maybe but don’t tell anyone!” I can’t believe I just said that, I thought.

“I haven’t told anyone else this, but I saw you that night, when we were watching that movie and he fell asleep, you guys looked like a couple, when you were on the bed, I saw it all, I wasn’t asleep yet”

“No, no way, you were asleep!”

“No I wasn’t, you took off his clothes and almost kissed him, I could tell”

“I would never kiss him, he’s a guy” I demanded, almost shouting.

“Then why have you kissed him twice?” he asked raising an eyebrow.

“I-I” I stopped for a second, I was caught red handed. I did kiss him twice, once on new years and just the other day. What am I doing, I’m with Sophie. “Those were nothing, complete accidents I swear” struggling to defend myself.

“Right, well I think I’ve given you enough to think about, I got to go” he said suddenly and slipped off and started walking away to his car.

“Wait! All this was just hypothetical right?” I shouted out to him.

“Of course…come on I’ll take you home” I think I heard him mumble idiot, but I wasn’t entirely sure.  

“Yeah ok” I walked next to him to the car. I could never be with Aiden, he is with Zac and not to mention Sophie was my first love. I love her too much to let her go and I could never cheat on her. Does that mean I have to tell her about that kiss…kisses to be honest.

Aiden’s POV

Alex is over at my house today since we didn’t really get to finish our conversation the other day. I still had a few things to ask and so did he. I opened the door when I heard a knock and both Alex and Zac came in. There seemed to be some sort of tension between them, which was sort of strange since just last week they looked like they were becoming really good friends.

“So, what is going on between you guys” I asked staring them both down, to try and force them to be honest with me. I saw them share a look but I couldn’t tell what it meant, they were being sneaky, which sparked suspicion within me.

“Nothing is going on” Alex answered, avoiding my eyes.

“Ok…so why are you here Zac?” I asked changing the subject.

“I talked to Xavier earlier and I wanted to tell you about it”

“Are you sure, isn’t it private?” I felt like I was prying into their private conversations.

“I know, but you need to hear this”

“What did he say?” I was actually really eager to know. Not that I still liked him or anything…who am I kidding, Zac was no substitute to a real boyfriend. I tried super hard to move on, but how long does it really take to move on from loving someone. I heard it was half as long, but I think it’s more like twice, I can’t stop thinking about him even though I know I probably shouldn’t be.

“Basically he said that if I weren’t supposedly dating you; he might and he admits to kissing you TWICE” he said in a rush, without giving me much time to comprehend what he said.

Slowly I processed it all and an half unwanted smile appeared on my face, “Really? You’re not kidding right?”

“I would never do that, believe me it’s the truth”

“Promise?” I asked sticking my pinky out to him.

“Promise.” He answered linking his own with mine.

“But, this can’t be true, it’s like impossible” I said as I contemplated it, I knew he wasn’t lying to me but could this really be real. I was almost jumping out of my seat out of excitement.

 But am I really ready for the happy ending?

The next day, was the weekend and Alex had called me to catch up with him at his house. I got Sienna to drop me off and she sent me a wink as she pulled out of the driveway. I felt confused; weird girl just randomly winking at me like that. I opened the door because it was unlocked and stepped inside. It was empty, I walked across the hall and knocked on the door, opening it ever so slightly.

I moved myself into the room and closed the door behind me. I turned around to face a few familiar people, my best friends, minus the heartbreaker. I gave an awkward smile and sat down next to Zac with Xavier on the other side of me. It’s not like I even had a choice, unless I was to take a seat on the ground. Come to think of it, I don’t think it’s that bad of an idea. I slowly slid towards the floor but was pulled straight back to my seat by Zac.

I huffed and leaned back against my seat, rocking on it. “So what’s happening it seems like some secret club meeting to me” I said, brushing my hand through my hair.

“Well Aiden, we are doing this for you, so stop with all the attitude” Amelia stated.

“Sorry, well what are we talking about?” I knew it was going to be about Xavier but I wanted to hear her confirm that thought of mine.

“Xavier” Zac started.” I have to tell you something”

“What is it?” he asked, curiously obviously rising inside him.

“Aiden and I aren’t really together, it was just a plan”

His jaw dropped and a look of surprise and confusion flitted across his face. I glanced out of the corner of my eye at Alex, he had a look of annoyance clearly appearing on his face. There is something going on with him, but the question is, what?

“A plan, what, why?” he spluttered out, shock still evident in his tone.

“Aiden was helping me make this guy jealous” he answered almost subtly looking at Alex who had turned completely red and looked like he wanted an escape route. But obviously it would draw attention to him if he did, so he just hid his face and tried to calm his heated face. I don’t think he has noticed how obvious he’s being, there is something going on between the two of them I’m sure of it. It seems like no one else has noticed though.

“Who is the guy, if it isn’t Aiden” Xavier asked confusion written all over his face. Everyone else was curious too, turning their eyes to Zac. No one knew yet and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t going to tell us for a while, he just came out recently too.

“No one you know” Zac replied dismissively. Everyone had unbelieving expressions, but let it go for the time being.

“So why did you agree to be in a fake relationship with Zac?” Xavier asked me, I froze this was the first time he had talked to me in almost a month, properly that is.

“I-I just wanted to help” I said, a blush appearing on my face that I failed to stop from spreading all over my face.

“Ok let’s go guys” before I knew it Amelia, Zac and Alex had all left leaving me with him. I shifted awkwardly on my seat, avoiding his gaze. It felt strange to be alone with Xavier but in another way it felt perfect. I played with the end of my T-shirt, trying to ignore the awkward silence that was happening before me.

“Just kiss already!” I heard Amelia shout from outside the closed door. I blushed slightly and chose to ignore her. Was it locked? I stood up and walked towards the door, suddenly I heard a click as my hand landed on the door handle. I grumbled and stalked back towards my seat. “You can’t get away that easily!” she cried, giggling as she left, hearing her footsteps get further away.

I grasped onto my seat, I thought about what I could say, but I came up with nothing. I lifted my head up from looking at the ground to meet his eyes directly. He was looking at me too. I swallowed nervously, parting my lips to take a breath. I could see his eyes looking down at my lips.

“Xavier”, “Aiden” we said in a whisper simultaneously. I chuckled a bit nervously.

“You go first” I told him, urging for him to go on, I really needed to hear what he had to say.

“I’m-I’m so sorry Aiden, for what I’ve done to you, you didn’t deserve any of it, I’m just really confused” he rushed out, taking a big breath afterwards.

My eyes widened considerably, “Do you like me Xavier?” I asked, anxious to hear his answer. I closed my eyes slightly, getting more nervous by the second as time ticked by.

“I think I really do” he replied. I opened my eyes to see a small smile playing on his lips.

The first real smile in almost a month, appeared on my face as he took his hand into mine and squeezed.

I guess time really does tell.
