xX You're So Last Summer Xx...Chapter 14

Rachel's pov...

A few seconds later Tony and I slowly pulled away from each other and just stood there grinning.

"Soooo..." Tony spoke first, his eyes sparkling mischievously "does that mean what I think it means?"

I blushed slightly and my grin grew wider "I guess it does."

...And at this moment in time I actually did think that. Because even though I may have been initially disappointed about being basically rejected by Adam, it was obviously just because no one likes hearing that some one doesn't fancy them; I mean, even if you don't like that person either its still nice to think that people find you attractive, which must have been why I'd felt so sad when I'd heard that he said he only thought of me as a friend.

But now I had Tony! And, if the way that kiss had made me feel was anything to go by, then I definitely liked him as more than a mate and possibly it was something even deeper than just an attraction. I mean, if you can't love a guy who you've known since you were 5, who knows everything about you; including your many flaws, and yet still loves you, not to mention the fact that he was extremely good looking (in a different way than Adam; more cute, 'alternative' emo kid with his lip ring and low three quarter length camouflage shorts, rather than the former's more tall, dark, handsome stranger look about him)...then who can you love?!...

His smile grew even wider as he took my hands in his "You actually love me?" he questioned, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

I paused; however sure I was that I wanted to be with him I still didn't feel ready to say those three magic words 'I-Love-You,' so not wanting to hurt him I quickly just changed the subject; avoiding answering altogether..."We're just gonna take things slow, right?!" I said quickly.

He nodded, his expression sincere "Of course Rach! I know its a big step to take going from friendship to - to - to, well, this! Especially when you've known each other as long as we have, and I don't want to risk messing anything up."

"After all, we've got the next two months to get used to it." I reasoned.

At this Tony pulled me towards him "I was kinda hoping we'd have more than just these two months to get used to it...more like the rest of our lives" he softly whispered before kissing me once again.

Adam's pov...

I couldn't believe what I'd got myself into!

It seemed that, due to that brief moment of insanity where I'd kissed Kelly instead of setting things straight just because I was feeling miserable about the whole Rachel situation, she'd now got it into her head that we were a couple.

After we'd stopped making out she'd put her hand on mine and gave me a huge smile "I just know we're going to be sooo great together!" she giggled, giving my hand a quick squeeze.

I couldn't bring myself to speak so I just sat there staring back at her, but she didn't seem to notice seeing as she simply give me a quick kiss on the lips before jumping up and exclaiming "Aah who knew that I'd bag myself such an amazing and gorgeous boyfriend on the first day of the tour?!"

All I could do was smile weakly back at her...I mean, what else was I supposed to do?

"You coming in to join the others?" she asked, gesturing towards the door.

I managed a small nod "Erm yeah in a second"

"Okay, well I'll see you in there then"

I nodded again, but then just as she was about to disappear out the door I suddenly called her name. She stopped and peered her head round the door frame "Yeah?" she asked, a smirk on her face as she must have assumed I wanted more 'alone' time with her.

"Erm Kelly dya mind if we just keep this...us...to ourselves for the time being just cause things are complicated enough on tour without people scrutinizing your relationships." As I said this I saw her face fall in disappointment, which made me feel bad but I just needed time to work out how to handle this situation.

"Oh, er, yeah sure" she replied, her voice not quite as loud and happy as it had been a second ago.

"Thanks"

There was an awkward pause before she said "Is that it?"

"Yeah" I nodded. She gave a small nod back before totally disappearing into the other room to join the rest of our fellow band mates.

Once she was gone I gave a huge sigh. This was ridiculous! It now seemed I was in a relationship with some one without me even realizing. But I guess I can see why she'd assumed that; seeing as I did after all kiss her (even though in reality it was just me trying to push the thought of Rachel and Tony kissing out of my head), AND she'd already been told by Rachel that I really liked her (even though that too was just crossed wires) ...but understanding how she'd misread the whole thing didn't help my situation in the slightest!

I mean, here I was with a girl I'd 'accidentally' started going out with, whilst the girl I actually had feelings for was in the other room playing tonsil-hockey with her best friend, Tony. I suppose there was the chance that I would discover that I actually 'liked' Kelly and would be happy with her, but at this moment in time that seemed highly unlikely!

Argh, what on earth was I going to do???
