Unexpected

Mackenzie’s POV

The day was finally over. We were finally going home and I just couldn’t wait to see dad. Graham went with Colin to his car. They were going somewhere and they left me alone with Sebastian. Don’t get me wrong, I love being with Sebastian, but he gets too cool sometimes and he likes to keep it that way. It takes time to get him warm.

We started to walk together. Our houses weren’t that far apart, so that’s nice.

“You know what bugs me?” Finally, some Sebastian action.

“What?” I looked at him

“That you’re a such realist.”

“Oh Sebastian, not this again.” I looked back to the road.

“Like why are you such a realist? Don’t you believe in love?”

“I do, I just- It’s not really my thing. I believe in it, I do. I see Uncle Rian and Aunt Cass, Uncle Jack and Aunt Veronica, your parents, and well, mine. I look at them and I see love, but I just don’t think that it will happen to me.” Sebastian glanced at me. “And, what about you? Why are you such a hopeless romantic?” It was my turn to ask questions

“My parents and I was born that way. I was born a hopeless romantic.” He flashed me a grin. A really charming grin, indeed. I did the same. “Also, there’s a girl.”

“Ooh, really? Who is she? Can I meet her?” I asked excitedly.

“Uhm, when the time comes.”

“Oh come on, who is she?”

Of course, he has his walls up again. Maybe that wasn’t the right topic to talk about with Sebastian.

Not long after, we found ourselves in front of my house. I waved and hugged Sebastian like what best friends do. He smiled and I went inside.

Sebastian’s POV

How can she be so clueless? Asking me a question like that. A smart girl like her should have known that she’s the one I’m desperately in love with. Only Graham knows about my feeling towards her, but I thought she’d figure that out by now.

I tend to keep it cool when I’m with her, but behind her back, I’m a hopeless young man desperate for closure. I usually talk about this stuff with Graham and it’s great that he understands.

I’m not in love with her because of her pretty face, I’m not gonna use her. I was head over heels for her.I love her as a whole, not just a little part of her. Even the simplest, smallest things can make my heart fluster, like her smile, her laugh, the way she sleeps. Okay, maybe the last one was creepy, but it’s not my fault if we had sleepovers before.

I felt a little down when she said that love wasn’t her thing. I was determined to make her the happiest girl in the world. I wanted her to be my one and only. If only she doesn’t think like that. It would make my task easier, but she wasn’t meant to be easy.

Notes

By the way, Aunt Veronica is a made up character. I don't think Jack's dating anyone right now, so I can't really make his non-existent girlfriend a character.
