Chapter Sixty-Two:

I woke up in a much better mental state than the day before. I snapped out of whatever I feeling. I’m only a few hours into my day and it’s already proving to be a better day than the past week has been.

I took my time getting ready, before going to see what the guys were up to. I walked passed Zacky’s room and heard Tiffany giggling. Good God, those two need to just get together already. Everyone can see the chemistry between them. Zack insists that he doesn’t like her, but we all know he’s full of it.

I knocked on his already open door. They jumped apart and looked my way. I caught them in mid-lip lock. I smirked. Oh yeah, no feelings there, whatsoever. My ass.

“Hey Lydia,” Tiffany smiled. I smiled back.

“Hey, I just wanted to see if you guys had eaten yet.” I told her, innocently. They both looked at each other and nodded, awkwardly. “Alright, well… I’ll let you get back to… each other.” I teased, winking, before walking away. I didn’t stick around to hear their responses.

Jimmy’s POV

“Seriously, dude, what’s up with you? That’s like the millionth time I’ve caught you staring at Holly.” I asked Matt. He just looked at me sheepishly, before sneaking another peak at Hayden’s mom.

“I don’t know, man. She’s just… I mean, you’ve seen her. Damn.” He sighed.

“You sound like a teenage girl, bro.” I teased him.

“Nah,” he denied it and hit my arm, playfully. “She’s gorgeous. Even you have to admit that.”

“I’m not saying she isn’t.” I admitted.

“She’s a MILF.” He added, unabashedly. I shook my head.

“You really went there – didn’t you?” I asked, hoping that I had heard him wrong. He nodded.

“She’s hot. I want her.” He breathed.

“Alright, before you start touching yourself in front of everyone, maybe you should cool down?” I suggested.

“Why should he cool down?” Brian asked walking up to us, before laying on the chair next to the couch, we were currently hogging. I looked over at Matt, smirking.

“You want to tell him, or should I?” I asked. Matt shrugged, barely paying any attention to us. “He’s jonesing for Holland.” I explained. Brian’s eyebrows shot up.

“Seriously?! You do know that you’re allowed to like single women, don’t you?” Brian asked him. Matt shrugged, again.

“I can’t help it, man. The taken ones are so much hotter.” He complained, before getting up and walking over to Holly. We couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it was obvious that he was flirting and laying it on thick. She was smiling, so she must not realize what he’s doing.

“Doug and Holly are perfect together. Can’t Matt just leave well enough alone?” Brian asked, exasperatedly. I sighed.

“I guess not.” I mused.

“Let’s grab him, before we have to hose him off for humping her leg.”

Lydia’s POV

If I didn’t know better, I’d say that it looks like Brian and Jimmy were kicking Matt out. None of them look mad, but Matt doesn’t really look like he wants to go. After Jimmy and Brian shut the front door behind Matt, they both looked at me.

“Don’t ask.” Jimmy advised me, before I could get any words out of my mouth.

“Okay,” I said, going with it.

After stuffing our faces with breakfast and three bad movies later, Holland and I were walking upstairs. She’s convinced that I need to add some feng shui to my room. Apparently it’ll help something… I dunno. She lost me right after she started explaining it. I just went with it.

I mean, at this point, I’m willing to try just about anything. If she thinks that a little reorganizing will do the trick, then I’m not about to argue with her. What do I know?

We were almost to my room when we heard a crash from Zacky’s room. We both stopped and turned our attention to his door, which was still open.

He and Tiffany are in the middle of a hot and heavy make-out session. Seriously, does that boy not know how to close a door? It’s really not that hard. Isn’t that Teenage Boy 101? Holland knocked on his door and cleared her throat, loudly.

Tiffany looked up first, detangling herself from Zack. She’s definitely red. She squeaked and looked at us and then back at Zacky.

“I-I should go.” She said, picking up her things before practically running out of his room. Zacky started to straighten up his clothes, then sat up and looked at all of us.

“When are you going to admit you have feelings for that girl?” Holland asked him. He looked at her confused.

“We’re just friends.” He argued.

“Friends don’t kiss each other like that.” Holly pressed. Zack didn’t say anything. “She’s not going to wait around forever, you know. She told him, before leading me to my own bedroom.

Zacky’s POV

I reclined on my bed and thought about what Holly and Lyds told me. I know that Tiffany likes me. I’m not stupid. She’s great; I just don’t think I feel the same way about her. I sighed and repositioned my pillow behind my head.

I caught a whiff of her shampoo. I groaned. It smells so good.

When Tiffany came over earlier, she admitted that she had feelings for me. She told me that she was going to kiss me, because she was tired of waiting for me to figure it out on my own. When she kissed me… I felt…

And it dawned on me. Everything she said and Lydia and Holly said just clicked. I don’t know if it was smelling her on my bed, or what, but it clicked. I have feelings for her. I like Tiffany. I scrambled to my feet and grabbed my keys, before bolting out the door.
How was I so stupid? I need to tell her how I feel.

Lydia’s POV

“Baby, look,” Holland told me as she gestured to the hallway. I looked to see Zacky racing down the stairs.

“Do you think he’s going to tell her?” I asked her.

“I hope so.”
