The next few hours were a blur of disaster. It was such a huge disaster that I don't know if I should be happy Kennedy confessed his feelings for me or be angry about the fact that Cam ruined what was supposed to be the best day ever. But I couldn't be either of them. I was sad. I was sad because their decades old friendship had crumbled. I know just how much they meant to each other. So it hurt me just as much as it hurt them.
Kennedy pushed Cam off him after he kissed him.
"Of course.. it's still her." Was the last thing Cam said before passing out. When we rushed to his side, I saw tears running down the sides of his eyes.
Kennedy was the one who carried him. His eyes were still bulging. He didn't know what to do with the new information. He always thought Cam was straight. And in less than two minutes he knew Cam was gay and had always been in love with him. His emotions must have been a mess.
"I will take him home.. you guys don't want to be the first persons he sees when he wakes up." Jonathan offered.
Kennedy just nods as Jonathan takes Cam from him.
"Lisa, I'm sorry everything turned out like this, I'm sure this wasn't how you wanted him to confess to you. Don't worry, when you get the job, we'll do something better to compensate."
I just nod as he takes Clarissa and Cam home.
"We will be leaving as well. Thank you for the free food." Sara tells me. I don't have anything to say so I nod.
"I told you he is in love with you as well." Mariana whispered into my ears.
"Now it's a mess though."
She shrugged. "He told you he loves you, so much."
I nod, she hugged me and gave me a thumbs up before she left. Leaving the house for Kennedy and I.
He was inside. Probably in the kitchen. But I don't want it to be awkward, so I go and start cleaning the back. Most of the food was already gone. I was the only one that haven't eaten anything yet. And him too, he didn't eat anything. So I pick a plate of burger and fries and take them inside.
He was drinking on the island. I don't know if it's a good time to be by his side so I start to slip upstairs.
"Lisa?" He called out to me.
Busted. I walk down the stairs and walk up to him.
"You knew?" His question was simple, but heavy. His tone didn't give anything away.
"Yeah.. the night my period started. You left us alone in the car. I confronted him because he was being hostile to me. I wanted to know why. He wasn't going to say but I figured it out. I swear I thought about telling you, but it's his secret to tell. That's why I kept quiet about it."
He is quiet for two minutes. Just swirling the liquid in his cup.
"I'm sorry he called you my whore. You are everything but a whore."
"I know he didn't mean it. You don't have to apologize for him. He was drunk and hurt. He could have told anybody he thought was trying to take you away from him."
He held me by my waist and brought me close to him. I could smell the scotch he was drinking. It caused me to wrinkle my nose in disgust. I briefly wondered what he was thinking about.
"I meant what I said out there.. I am in love with you."
My heart was pounding really fast again. It almost came out of my chest.
"You don't have to say anything back. You aren't under an obligation to love me, I just wanted you to know that I have fallen for you. Deeply."
I raise my eyes to meet his. His eyes held sincerity. It told me in a way his mouth couldn't that he did love me. He was in love with me.
"How could you not know? I was all but screaming it in your face. I love you so much Kennedy. I fell in love with you this past few days and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. But I couldn't say anything in fear that you will chase me away because you never felt the same way."
His eyes grew in surprise.
"I have always loved you. From the minute I saw you. I thought it was just physical but it was not, every minute I thought of you my heart raced. You were my first thoughts in the morning, and the last thing on my mind before I drifted off to sleep at night. I craved you more than just your body. I wanted to be with you, I wanted to hold you. I wanted to call you mine. I wanted to show you off to the world, but I couldn't because you were running away from me."
My throat had gone dry. I wanted to cry in happiness. This was the first time I felt this way about someone and he felt just the same about me.
"Been reading Shakespeare lately?" I whisper.
He laughed.
"You see? This right here is why I am in love with you. You are so amazing."
"What took you so long to say it?"
"Like you, I was afraid. I was afraid you would leave me. Afraid you would ditch me because I ruined our casual sex agreement and fell in love with you. I thought everything would become awkward, we won't have the chance to talk properly anymore because I went and confessed my feelings."
I swallowed. That was the exact thing I was scared of.
"It was Theresa that pushed me to confess. She said that you were so pretty other people can just come take you away because I was being a whimp about it."
I smiled. I was going to have to thank Theresa later. She helped us out even when she didn't need to. And I even hated her the first time I saw her. I was such a mess.
"I love you Kenny."
"I love you so much Lisa."
