AQUA ANGEL

Episode 6

I tapped my foot consistently on the floor as I waited for my roommates to come back, I was anxious and nervous...I didn't mean to upset Dylan but I was so damn mad, none of what happened was my fault and he still blamed me for everything...so I got so enraged? Now I couldn't help but wonder how he got to meet up with my friends, why was he coming to drop them home? Was it just a kind gesture or was he coming for me...I wished so much he came for me to apologize but I didn't want o have high hopes, I changed positions several times until I saw from my building Dylan's red meserati pulled over in front of my apartment building, I decided I wasn't gonna go down to see him no matter what...he'd been disappointing me so much lately, I've loved him for years and this past 24hours I get to spend with him had made those years feel so wasted. I keep inhaling and exhaling as I waited for the girls to come up and after 2mins that felt like forever they finally climbed upstairs.

"What the f**k are you still doing here?" Dylan's downstairs waiting for you" Becky gave a sly smile forgetting I ditched their asses tonight...we were always like that, putting each others happiness on top of everything else.

"I don't really wanna see him" I replied timidly and the girls gave me strange looks on their faces.

"What do you mean you don't wanna meet with him...he'd been worried sick about you, he let us know you were missing-

"And whose fault would that be? He shouted at me for Ashley" The girls face fell and they exchanged curious glances before they meet my eyes.

"I guess you didn't know that did you?" I asked suddenly feel my voice going brittle and my heart shattering all over again.

"He might be here to apologize Helen, you really should give him a chance to defend himself" Jenna spoke softly and Becky hugged me.

"Give him a chance Helen, everyone makes mistakes" With that said by Becky the girls lead me down to talk to Dylan who heaved exhaled in relief the moment he saw me. He stood staring at me as I walked up to him in my flip-flops and bed night dressing.

"Helen...I...am sorry" He voiced sounding very remorseful but I was still, though still avoiding meeting his eyes.

"Helen, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you-

"I get it...you love her" I cut him short and he paled giving me the saddest look I've ever seen on anyone, it made my heart cringe.

"I understand your actions Dylan, I truly do" I replied hiding just how hurt I was by his actions.

"I...I really can't help it, no matter-

"I understand Dylan, you don't have to explain yourself-

"No you don't understand. It's like I'm being compelled or something. I'm trying to fight the urge to be with her. When I'm not around her I feel like I don't love her anymore but once I see her, that changes it's unusual" Dylan sounded frustrated and I get it. Being in love could be really frustrating.

"I wanna forget about her, help me" His blunt request had me batting my lashes in surprise.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" why aren't I thrilled? Why aren't I happy ND delighted by the news...why do I feel something was amiss. I've always loved this particular guy who's now asking me out but I still felt empty in the inside. I don't quite get it.

"Your girlfriend-

"You are a smart and confident girl Helen, if alone can help me forget her because when I'm around you it's like her power on me loosened or something" Dylan explained but I still wasn't impressed

"It doesn't feel quite that way earlier when you saw me today-

"I didn't know why I did that Helen, I'm sorry" Dylan quickly apologized running his hands into his hair frustratingly.

"I don't know yet, it don't feel right...you don't even know me" I pointed and he smiled.

"Why don't you give me a chance to do that...give me a chance to know you Helen" I don't know why I feel strange hearing him say that, I've wanted this for so long and yet...I didn't feel like the way I imagined myself to feel when I finally hear him saying those words.

"I don't know Dylan...I-

"You want this too Helen" I was shocked by his statement but it turns out it wasn't as I think.

"Don't you want to forget the guy you're so much in love with? give this a chance Helen" He encouraged and I sighed.

"Do you mind giving me some time to think about it?" I asked him and he smiled eyes filled with hope.

"Yeah...but I want an answer tomorrow" I laughed softly as he winked at me and I watched him move to his car then watch him as he exit the street. The girls were waiting for me when in headed back to the room, they both had curious and anxious look on their faces and quirked a brow at the both of them as they sat composed on the sofa staring at me as I slowly close the door.

"So-

"What did he say?" Becky beat Jenna to it earning a glare in reaction.

"He apologized" The girls squealed in excitement and I chuckled moving to my bed.

"And-" With that the girls rush over to me to hear the rest of what I had to say.

"He wants me to help him forget Ashley, ask me to be his girlfriend" I completed and Becky moved to the middle of the room to perform a funny dance.

"I knew he was gonna be yours eventually...if I knew crushing for somone for 5years could make up have that person...I would never had given up on Zac Efron" Jenna and I burst into laughter at Becky's sudden intuition.

"So, what did you tell him?" Jenna questioned.

"I told him I don't know...I wanted to give it a thought-

"What the f**k is wrong with you Helen, this is a lifetime opportunity. You were supposed to grab it" Becky reprimanded and I sighed.

"I don't know while I-" I met the girls eyes for a minute and I knew that moment what I wanted to say was a terrible idea.

"Okay, I'll tell him yes tomorrow" I finally concluded and the girls squealed again. We ended up singing ourselves to sleep.

I woke up the next day feeling super excited, I was lecture free in the morning so I just play around. I made pancakes for my roommates who were pretty much still enjoying their wonderful sleep. They woke up to see the room sparkling clean and the food all served. I had cleaned up the room and bathroom and when Jenna woke up to see me laughing at the film I was watching, she climbed off her bed exmanined the room and even opened the bathroom to check.

"Someone is excited" I ignored Jenna's words and continue watching my movie until my phon alarm rang and I jumped out of bed to have my bath and dress up for my lectures. I kept humming throughout the whole action and my roommates couldn't help but watch me on amazement.

"Not that, pick the blue" Becky who had woke up few minutes after I had taken my bath pointed to the top I was holding up to my chest against the red one while she sat next to Jenna to eat the breakfast I had prepared for them.

"You think so, I thought the dark jeans looks better with the" I voiced and Jenna arched a brow at me.

"Okay fine" I gave in settling for a blue body hug top, dark tight jeans and black ballerina flat. I pulled my hair out of the towel I had set it into pull it down and curl the edges, applying powder and lipstick I grab my backpack and head for the door.

"How lucky you two are since none of you have classes today" I muttered as I took one last look at myself in the mirror and gave the girls a peck each while they smile.

"Actually we do have...mine is in an hour" Jenna replied with a thoughtful look and I have her a scolding look.

"Bye girls" I waved them and headed down to catch a cab. I had two consecutive classes and I was super active in the two, I even beat Thomas to the answers of questions thrown at us by the professors, Thomas met my eye in the second class as I'd been beating him to every question today but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of belittling me anymore. I forced him a smile and turned away from him before I exited class. I was humming down the hallway when I felt billion eyes on me, they kept whispering to each other as I pass and for a minute I wondered while until I remember what happened at the Thomas cousin's party, the memory made me blush. I ignore the persistent stares and was leaving for the library when someone grabbed me, spinning me in the process and I felt my back hit the wall but his hand was stopping my head from hitting the wall.

"Dylan" I gasped before exhaling out in relief.

"Did I scare you?" He asked with a smug look on his face.

"Yeah you did, why did you do that?" I quarried and he smiled.

"I don't know...just wanted to pick on you" I laughed as his reply and he stared into my eyes for what seem like forever but it was only a matter of seconds. He pulled away and dig his hands into his pockets.

"Promise me something" I scoffed at that and arched a brow at him.

"You haven't heard my answer yet but you already want me to promise you something?" I frowned.

"I know your answer is yes...you would have pushed me away if it was no" He replied sharply and I noticed that time Dylan was pretty confident in himself.

"I could still change my mind-

"That you won't-

"Don't be so confident Dylan" I frowned and he chuckled.

"I'm not but I don't want to think you would" His response had me turning and heading away from him while he followed me immediately.

"Promise me you won't get mad no matter what you hear of me today?" I froze and turn to take a sharp look at him.

"What do you mean by that?" I gave him a quizzical expression that shows just how confused I was.

"Just promise me-

"I can't be sure I won't get mad Dylan, I'm human" With that being said Dylan decided to use his effect on me by pinning me to the wall for the second time making my heart race and making extra blood flow up my cheek. He lowered his head such that our lips was just few inches apart and waited.

"Promise" He insisted while I suddenly got anxious for him to kiss me since it had felt so good the last time.

"I don't-" I froze the moment his fingers found my lips, slightly pressing them while staring down intensely on me.

"Promise" He reiterated as his looks burrowed deeper into me.

"I...promise" I moaned as he seems to affect me more than I think he would. My body responded to him as he continue his caress but he suddenly stop to give me a light kiss on the lips.

"I'll see you around" He told me with a satisfied smile on his face as he turned and leave then I saw my roommates coming from a far having a sombre look on their faces the moment they saw me.

"What's wrong?" I questioned them immediately they got close enough.

"We are so sorry" Becky's voice came first and I frowned.

"What's going on?" I queried but the girls won't stop giving me guilty faces and it made me so mad.

"Will you just talk!" I snapped and they jumped at my harsh voice.

"We saw..." Jenna sighed and opened her phone showing me a new video in the school site, it was Dylan...in a room, with Ashley kissing, I felt my heart shattered because I knew when this happens, it was the same dress Ashley wore to the and the same dressing Dylan had.

"We confronted him, we got so mad and confronted him, we might have accidently told him you've been in love with him for years" Becky face cringes up with her eyes shot as if expecting me to land her a slap at her words but I forced my legs which had grow weak to walk away from them instead trying to hold back my tears as I sluggishly made my way out. Was that why he was so confident because he knew I was never gonna do a f*****g thing about it? I felt shattered!
