working on a paper I have due this week. What r u up to?
    Declan: Oh that sounds like so much fun! I’m watching movies with my bro. I just wanted to say good morning. I’ll let you get back to your paper.
    Me: Kk
    Declan: See you tonight…

    “Who are you texting?” Marcus asks me with his mouth full of popcorn.
    “Teagan.” I mumble as I wait for her to reply.
    “Wait, who? Jaden’s sister? Why are you texting her?” he is just full of questions this afternoon.
    “Yes Jaden’s sister. I’m texting her because she is the girl from the other night.”
    “Oh geez, I get your truck when he kills you.” He laughs and I pop him upside the head.
    “Shut up, you can’t tell anybody. I’m going on a date tonight with her and he can’t find out.”
    “Relax Dec; I’m not going to tell anybody if that’s what you want. I’m just messing around.”
    My phone dings and I fumble to see what she said to my last text. She sent me a smiley face and I picture her smile in my head. My heart starts to beat faster and I feel like I’m flying.
    “Dude you look kind of sick, are you ok?” Marcus puts his hand over my forehead to see if I have a fever.
    I smack his hand away, “No I’m not sick. I feel great actually.”
    “Gross you’re like in love or whatever aren’t you?” He gets a sneer on his face as he looks at me to say I’m not.
    “I’m not in love you dork; I just like her a lot. She’s so beautiful and you can tell that she doesn’t know it. When she looks at me it’s like I’m the only person in the world. And she makes these sexy little moans while were making out.” I can feel the big goofy grin on my face.
    “Gross Declan, that’s too much information.” He scowls at me as he gets up to get more popcorn.
    I chuckle and rest my head on the back of the couch. I can’t believe how she makes me feel. It’s like I’m ten feet tall and nobody can push me down. I’m starting to feel out of control though and I don’t like it at all. My feelings are all over the place and I’m hiding things from my best friend. I like everything in its place and she makes me feel like I’m out of the box.
    “Hey Dec, earth to Dec!” my brother yells as I feel a piece of popcorn hit me in the face.
    I sit up glaring at him. “What?”
    “What movie do you want to watch next?” He grins at me and throws a bunch of DVD’s in my lap.

    I’m getting ready in my bathroom when there is a knock on my open door. I figure that Marcus has come to bug me when I step out and freeze. Shit. It’s Jaden and I have no idea why he is here or how I’m going to get rid of him in time for my date.
    “Sup dude?” He asks when I step out of the bathroom.
    “Not much just getting ready for a date.” I wave my hand in the direction of my desk chair in an invitation to sit down.
    “Shit, I’m sorry I’ll say what I need to say and get out of your hair.” He states as he sits down in the chair. “I’m in need of some advice.”
    I can tell he is nervous by the fact he is tapping his foot on the floor. “Shoot.”
    “Ok so there is this girl. I’m no good at all with them, so I have no idea what to say to her and I really like her so I’m just stuck, god I’m sorry see now I’m babbling.” He lets out a nervous laugh and puts his hands on his knees.
    “This seems like it might take a minute let me call my date and tell her I’ll be late.” I turn and walk back into the bathroom and shut the door.
    I have my phone out of my pocket in no time and dial Teagan. It rings for a few seconds before she answers with a breathy “Hey.”
    “Hey beautiful, look your brother is here and he needs to talk to me, so I’m going to be a little late picking you up. Is that ok?” I’m nervous she is going to cancel.
    “Yeah that’s fine. Take your time, oh and Declan?” she asks with a smile in her voice.
    “Yeah baby?” I don’t know why I gave her that pet name. It just rolled off my
