Chapter 9: About Time!
(Seliel's POV)
I try my best to blink back tears as I run through the halls of the Bounty. I have always had feelings for Cole but I guess it was inevitable that he would ask me that. But I've come to one conclusion.
I hate him.
We've been through thick and thin together and he thinks I'll stab him in the back like that? I can honestly say that I'm shocked with-
I see Nya run past me with tears in her eyes. She continues to run down the hallway until she stops at our room door, opens it, and slams it behind her. Almost immediately Jay comes running from the same direction but he stops mid sprint in locks eyes with me.
(Jay's POV)
I may have lied about not being able to read people. But it's not like it was very hard to tell what emotions Seliel was feeling.
When I see her in the hallway I skid to a stop. Her eyes meet mine and my eyes replace the look of sadness with those of concern.
"What's wrong?" I ask. She still looks at me and doesn't say a thing. Suddenly, she falls onto my chest and starts bawling. I feel hot tears stain my t-shirt.
"Seliel?" I ask again but I'm still greeted with no reply. About a minute later she finally stops, but her head still rests on my chest. I am supposed to be chasing after Nya, but if my best friend needs me, then I have to be there.
I pick her up bridal style and that movement is followed by a gasp.
"Jay, what are you-" I quickly put a finger over my mouth to signal for her to be silent. I make my way into the gaming room. I set her down on the couch and sit next to her.
"So, do you mind telling me what's wrong?" I ask. I mentally cross my fingers. Hopefully she will confide in me.
"Look Jay, I understand your concern, but being seen with you right now at night would not help my issue."
After that sentence, I realize why she was so upset.
"Cole asked you, didn't he?". Silence overtakes the room. I guess he did.
"Look Seliel, I know that you don't like me in that way, and I'm pretty sure that deep down, Cole knows it too. But just understand that if he loves you, he would be finding a way to apologize to you right this very second." I say. Whew! I didn't think saying wise things would be so tiring!
"Then why didn't he chase after me like you chased after Nya then?" She asks in a tone that can barely be conceived as a whisper.
"That I don't know." I answer. I feel a sudden weight softly settle on my chest. I turn my head slightly to see Seliel's head on my shoulder.
"Do you need some time alone?" I ask. I take a sneak peak at the clock. Everyone should be sleeping right now.
"Jay, please stay. I need you now more than ever." She says quietly.
My face is shaded with a deep red at this moment.
Seliel's head lifts from my shoulder. I turn my head to her. She starts to lean in. At first I thought it was for a hug, but her arms aren't stretched out. I can tell from her facial expressions that she doesn't know what she is doing. Unconsciously, I start to mimic Seliel. My hands are around he waist while hers are resting on my chest.
About a second later I feel my lips lock with hers and I am shocked when I feel myself actually kiss her.
And even more to my surprise, she kisses back.
