I was thinking about back home in my car, when my cell phone started ringing. "Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Trinity. It’s another over-obsessive guy calling you!!" I recognized the goofy voice right away.
I smiled. "Hey Chris. What’s up?"
"Well, I was driving back to our place and then I was thinkin "hm, what’s happening with Trinity? I haven’t seen her in a full 15 minutes!" So I decided to call." He joked. I knew something was up though, he wouldn’t just call so soon.
I laughed anyway though. "Well I’m fine." I lied. "How are you?"
"Good, good. Anyway, I guess you know I have something else I have to tell you. What the hell are you doing to J?" He laughed. "I know you won’t tell me everything, I don’t’ even think you’re tellin J everything, but can I tell ya somethin?"
I sighed. "Go ahead."
"I’ve spent a lot of time with Justin and I know when he likes a girl. It seems like he really likes you, I don’t know how else to say it. He’s just a little clueless how to go about relationships, because it’s no lie when I tell you he just got out of a really serious relationship. And no he’s not lookin for some rebound slut, because he never was like that." There was silence for a second. "That was my speech." He chuckled.
I laughed along with him although, I still was completely clueless. "Thanks, but I just don’t know right now. It’s kinda more then that." I told him.
"Yeah, I figured that." He told me softly. "But I figured every little bit helps right?"
"What?" I questioned, a confused look on my face.
"Well, look, don’t get pissed when I say this, but at practice, it’s pretty easy to tell that you 2 are feeling each other. Lance told me not to even mention the subject to either of you, but I figured every good thing you hear, might help." He told me.
"Thanks, Chris I appreciate it." I paused for a second. "But I have to ask...why do you care what happens?"
There was no answer for a second. "Because I care about my best friend, and I know he can’t get you out of his head. And believe it or not, I care about you too." I smiled. "Because you never knew walking into this that you would have to handle 5 guys like us." We both laughed. "And I really see you two together." He finished softly.
Despite how confused I was, I felt a little bit better. Talking to Chris really helped. "I care about you too." I told him and then I said, "Thanks for caring."
"You betcha. I’ll see you tomorrow at practice."
"Bye bye." I hung up my phone smiling. Jessica Simpson was in my CD player and "I Think I’m In Love" was on. I laughed as I realized how ridiculously happy I was for someone that really wanted someone, but wouldn’t let herself have.
"Hi." I said, my heart almost stopping when I heard the sound of his voice. ‘Admit it, you’re crazy about him.’ I thought to myself, but I quickly pushed the thought away. "You called?" I questioned.
"Ah, yes I did. I wanted to know what you wanted to do tonight." He told me.
"Oh, it doesn’t matter, I’m up for anything." I was real easy-going like that. It didn’t matter where we went.
"Well, I was thinkin, and everyone’s leaving the house, and it’s very rare that happens, so you wanna chill over here?" He questioned.
I smiled. "Yeah that sounds great."
We talked for a few more minutes, and I agreed to meet him in an hour. Suddenly, I just didn’t have enough time to call Bridget. I vowed to myself I would call tomorrow, and started getting ready. I went for the cute/comfortable look and I think I achieved it rather well.
"Hey." He greeted me, smiling as he made his way over to me. He was wearing a baby blue shirt and jeans...he looked incredibly adorable!
"Hey." I said smiling and I followed him into the house. "You have a really amazing house." I told him as I looked around.
"Thank you, but you haven’t seen the most amazing part." He told me, taking my hand and leading me to a door.
"Uh oh, I’m almost scared to ask what’s behind here." I joked. He laughed, and reassured me.
"Oh, don’t worry, let me take care of it." He said and opened the door. I gasped as I saw what was inside.
