Work Text:
So here’s the thing. We’re not really anything. But we’re not nothing either. You know what I’m saying ? It’s like… a situationship ? Kind of ? I’m not even sure what we’re supposed to be. Like ok we flirted at Nico’s party last month but… that’s it. We talked a bit on instagram but nothing too crazy.
Gosh it annoys me so much. He has never put words on what we are. Or what we are not I guess ? Yet he lets me think that maybe there’s a chance of us being something one day.
So here I am, wearing a tight black mini dress and hoping that he’ll notice me and make a move.
Is it desperate ? Maybe. But y’all need to understand that it’s been months and he doesn’t do anything. I mean, its not like I didn’t try to make him understand that I wanted him you know. Trust me, I made it as clear as possible. At this point, I don’t even think that I can make it more obvious.
- Nah you can’t ; I hear a voice, next to my ear.
- Oh my- Yuma why the fuck don’t you announce yourself when you come close to someone ??
- I called your name three times and you kept talking to yourself. And yes, you made it obvious that you wanted him.
- I know. What more can I do ?
- Nothing.
- So you’re really useless.
- Girl shut up.
- You’re his friend or not ?
- I am. But we’re not that close.
- Then why can’t you help me ?
- How am I even supposed to do anything ? It’s not like I can push you in his arms.
- I mean, you could possibly do that…
- No.
- Bastard.
- Be for real Ivy. If there was really something that I could do to help, trust me I would. But at this point, just change your target.
- Tss.
- Don’t “tss” me. You know that I’m right. With all my respect and my sincere love as your friend, you look absolutely stunning. And when I say stunning, I mean really hot. So if he can’t take the occasion, believe me that somebody else will.
- Someone like you huh ?
- Maybe ; he says in a flirty tone.
- Can’t you be serious a minute ; I scoff and roll my eyes.
- Never ; he smirks, but trust me, someone else will shoot his shot if he doesn’t.
- So why can’t he ?
- He’s just really stupid If you want my opinion.
I sigh. He might really be stupid after all.
I grab Yuma’s arm and pull him to the bar. I hand him a shot of tequila and take one for me. He doesn’t question my actions and count to three before drinking it in one sip. We take a second one, of rum this time. And a third one. Gosh I am so annoyed right now. He didn’t even look at me once.
- What if you just kiss me in front of him ?
Yuma looks at me, confused.
- Why would I do that ?
- To make him jealous.
- Nah, I’m not gonna kiss you.
- Why ? Am I really that unattractive ?
- Not at all. Ivy, you’re really attractive. And you’re also really like a sister to me.
- I know, I see you like a brother too. Well, kinda. But gosh, I’m so pissed off right now.
- I know. Why don’t we just dance a bit ? You love that song, don’t you ?
- I do.
- Then come on ; he grabs my hand and pull me to the dance floor.
He starts dancing and I immediately follow him. What else can I do ? I’m just a girl.
We dance for maybe 10 minutes before Nicholas grab Yuma and pull him away. He looks as confused as I am.
I stand there for a few seconds, contemplating wether I should go back to the bar or keep dancing. Finally, I chose to stay.
- So who’s the guy you want to make jealous ?
I turn around, startled.
- Oh Maki, it’s you.
- It’s me. So, who is it ?
- How do you know that I want to make someone jealous ?
- I heard your discussion with Yuma.
- Oh, right. It’s Shota.
- Girl you must be kidding me right now.
- What ?
- This guy ? Are we deadass ?
- Why ? What’s wrong ?
- He’s… well he’s less than average. Like be for real.
- Nah, he’s cute.
- You really think he is ?
- Yes…
- Hell nah. You’re way too gorgeous for a guy like Shota.
- I’ll take the compliment.
- You can. So you’re telling me that you wore this jaw dropping dress for a guy like him ?
- It’s not only for him. It’s also because I like the dress. But… yes, sorta.
- That’s really a waste then.
- What else can I do ?
- Change your target.
- Yuma told me the exact same thing.
- Then you should listen to him.
- I don’t know, he’s not really that trustable with his advices.
- I know, but he doesn’t only say dumb shit.
- Yeah…
- Do you still want to make him jealous ?
- Yes, why ?
- Then I can help you.
- Really ?
- Hum hum.
He comes closer, put one hand on my waist, and the other on my face. He leans down and I automatically close my eyes.
- So, do you want me to help you or not ? ; he smirks.
- What can I lose ?
He moves his hand to my neck, his thumb on my cheek, and kisses me. I kiss him back and wraps my arms around his neck.
He wraps his arms around me and pull my body against his. I put my hands in his hair and deepen the kiss.
Well I know, it was supposed to be a little tiny kiss to make a guy jealous. But y’all… it is way too good. Needless to say that I completely forgot why we started this in the first place. But I’ll have to talk to Yuma later. Because he was right : I should’ve change my target sooner.
