The Gay Nerd Who Stole His Heart
Chapter 18

"I can't believe she told you not to bring me," Ella hissed angrily, patting down her long tight black dress. Her hair was placed in a formal bun, and she wore black sandals and gold earrings. She was fixing herself in front of Kylan's mirror, and when she felt prepared, she turned around and faced him, who sat on his bed scrolling through his social media. She raised an eyebrow, leaning over him and seeing that he was on Jonah Monty's profile. "You're still creeping him?" Kylan sighed restlessly, the one strand of hair that he purposely left to hover above his eye moving along as he nodded his head. He had gelled his golden hair back nicely and wore a long dress shirt with a navy tie and navy dress pants. He was also wearing dark brown pointed shoes, and Ella admired him for a moment. However, he was quite stressed about Jonah and had been for the past week. She had heard about what had occurred when he headed to the grocery store, and although was uncertain whether Jonah had meant those words, did not want to discourage Kylan.

"Why do you look upset?"

Kylan tilted his head, still scrolling along the page, "He was tweeting to this girl earlier."

Ella shrugged her shoulders, "He was probably just being friendly."

Kylan raised his hand and showed her the page. The girl had said that she could not wait to see Jonah tonight, with a wink face, and he had replied to replace him near the back with a wink face as well. Then she replied to message him privately and that they might talk a bit more, and he sent back a few heart symbols.

Ella bit her bottom lip uneasily, and Kylan closed his phone and shoved it in his pocket with a sigh. He appeared saddened as he grabbed her keys, and Ella pressed her palm on his waist, "Just relax, Kylan. It's probably nothing." "It didn't seem like nothing," he replied unhappily as he shut his light and followed Ella out of his bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Ella paused for a moment before saying, "He is Jonah Minty after all."

"Thanks," the sarcasm was excessive, "that helps a lot, Ella."

They entered Ella's vehicle, Kylan siding in the driver's seat and waiting until Ella had her seatbelt until he departed. The end of the September month ball dance had come, and he was to meet Ashley there. Teachers were going to monitor the place, although they were very laid back and allowed them to behave as they wanted. Drinks were also being served to any students of age, which was one of the few reasons Kylan was going. He also needed something to ease his mind since the recent occurrences had all been dramatic and intense. He could still feel the tingle for Jonah's kiss on his forehead whenever he thought about it, which angered him that he was so head over heels for him. He had been for two years, but it was only recently that it actually annoyed him.

Ella had had an eye on someone as well, but he irked her nerves usually, which always caused her to distance herself from him. However, she hoped to replace him at the dance.

As they arrived in the parking lot, a few students were descended from their cars as well. Others were chilling at their cars, taking shots and drinking. A few were smoking and having their fun before heading into the party. Immediately when they descended, a few eyes were drawn to them, specifically Ella, who whipped her hair behind her shoulders and swayed her hips, purposely attempting to attract all the guys' attention. Kylan scoffed, "Stop doing that. Everyone's looking at your butt."

Ella rolled her eyes, "That's the point of it, Ky. Anyways, let me grab your arm." She slipped her palm on his bicep, and they made their way inside the school and in the gymnasium. It was entirely decorated, with different colored lights swirling around the room. There was a huge banner in the front with the words "September Ball Dance" written on it in beautiful cursive letters. The scenery was very well done, and people were already drinking and dancing. A few guys were leaning against the wall, all well dressed as they sipped on their alcohol, while other girls danced with one another and waited for guys to approach them.

Ella's fingers tightened against Kylan when she found her arch-nemesis twirling around before meeting their gaze and smiling wickedly. It may have been a wicked smile in Ella's perspective since, in Kylan's eyes, it was one of the nicest smiles he had ever seen, and he waved excitingly towards her. Ashley raced to them and instantly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, tightly hugging him and subtly pushing Ella off from him. Ella gasped but did not say anything and merely crossed her arms with narrowed eyes. Ashley griped Kylan's jaw and placed her lips on his for a few seconds before pulling away with a long smile.

"You really came," she beamed, then glanced to Ella and muttered, "with her."

"Yes, I came," he grabbed her wrist and twirled her around, her dress rising beautifully. She was ravishing tonight, wearing a dark burgundy dress that fell right under her knees, and revealed her tanned legs. She also had gold heels and earrings that matched well with her attire. Her makeup brightened her eyes, and even Kylan approved. "You look amazing," he breathed in her ear, pulling her to his chest as she giggled.

Ella rolled her eyes and dryly said, "I'm going to get a few drinks." She left before Kylan could respond, and Ashley grimaced at Ella's back as she walked away. Evidently, Ella was approached by a few guys as she headed to the counter, making her forget about Ashley entirely.

"So what have you been up to tonight?" Kylan lowered his mouth to her ear since the music was loud.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I was waiting for you."

"You didn't dance at all?" When she shook her head, he asked, "Did you drink?"

"A little, but I'm not drunk."

"I'm trying to get drunk tonight," he laughed.

Ashley smirked, "Let's do it together then."

Kylan agreed, nodding his head childishly as she laughed, and he leaned forward, placing his lips on hers romantically, and this time, there was much more lip bite, tongue movement involved. He poked his tongue for a moment, teasing her until she inserted her own in his mouth, and at that exact moment, he reached for her behind, and the moment he felt her body react to his hand, his tongue caught her by surprise and enveloped hers. When the hairs on the back of her neck raised, he bit her bottom lip, and a soft moan escaped her mouth. He was one of the greatest kissers she had ever experienced.

However, as they were kissing, he heard Bradley's voice a bit too late, since suddenly, arms dropped around both their shoulders, and when they pulled away and raised their heads, Bradley's smiling face greeted them, "Have you guys ever heard of PDA? You're right in front of the door too."

"Welcome," Ashley greeted politely, and Kylan's body tended when he felt a burning gaze hitting him from the side. As he turned his head merely inches, she met Jonah's gaze, who nodded his head respectfully and walked away immediately. Kylan gulped; he had certainly seen the kiss that had occurred with Ashley. He cursed in his mind, but Bradley grabbed his attention again.

"This party looks pretty sweet," he said with excitement. However, when his eyes found the girl he was searching for near the counter where the drinks were handed, he rapidly said, "Excuse me," and departed from them. Ashley exhaled a sigh of relief, "I can't stand him. Anyways, do you want to go buy some drinks?"

"Obviously."

They headed for the counter, both taking a few shots until Kylan could feel his head begin buzzing. The place became packed, and the party seriously commenced; beers were chugged, multiple shots were taken simultaneously, men took off their dress shirts, and dancing was occurring recklessly. The professors stood in the corners, all forced to remain sober and monitor the place, asking a few students that were too drunk to leave. Many guys and girls began talking to one another, exchanging phone numbers and groping on one another. Girls filled the bathrooms, drunkenly complimenting one another. The night was a complete success.

As the party continued, Kylan was found leaning against the wall since he was a bit too drunk and did not want to be kicked out by the professors. Ashley stood in front of him, dancing and bending down often, before turning around and facing him frequently to press her lips on his, which he reacted to instantly and returned a sloppy kiss as well.

"I like you so much, Kylan," she breathed beside his ear, and his teeth found her earlobe, and she yelped. He continued a path along the side of his face to her neck and pinched her flesh between his lips, another moan escaping between her lips. Suddenly, he raised his eyes, and the sight he saw instantly caused him to stop, his entire body becoming paralyzed.

The girl Jonah had been talking to online.

Jonah had been standing in the back corner with his boys most of the time since there were couches there, and they drank and talked, a few girls sitting with them as well. Jonah had been sitting without the company of a girl, but he seemed to be having some fun, drinking and laughing. Bradley had not been in sight for some time, nor had Ella, but he was not too worried since he knew Ella stood her ground fairly well. He had not made eye contact with Jonah the entire night, which he was quite confused about, but his drunk mind was all over the place.

However, when the girl Jonah had been talking to online approached him at the back corner, Kylan's muscles instantly stopped moving, and everything Ashley was saying blurred. She observed as Jonah seductively bit his bottom lip, examining the girl's features in complete drooling admiration, and extended his arm for her to grab his hand. She was wearing a skimpy red dress, barely reaching to her red thigh, and the cleavage of her boobs was insanely noticeable. She had long, straight brown hair that fell to the top of her behind and long toned legs that caused Kylan's palms to clench into fists. She was unbelievably pretty, and it was a competition he could not even compete with. Ashley grabbed his face between her hands, "Are you okay, Ky?"

He shook his head away from her grasp and raised his head higher, continuing to stare at their encounter. Jonah wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him; she wrapped an arm around his neck.

Kylan felt nauseous.

Jonah was then seen whispering something in her ear, and she replied by leaning forward and whispering in his ear. However, the ultimate crack was when she connected their lips, and Kylan reactively pushed Ashley off from him. Ashley frowned, staring at him in disbelief as she said, "What's wrong with you?"

His head sharply turned to face her, and he quietly said, "Sorry," before rapidly walking away from there, searching for the bathroom. He knew there had been something between the two of them, but Ella never wanted to listen to him. However, he could not believe Jonah would even do that in front of him, right after saying that he liked Kylan. With his heart tightening abnormally, Kylan races to the bathroom, immediately beginning to throw cold water in his face in hopes to withhold his composure. Although he was evidently with a girl himself, he had never really thought about how hard it would be to see Jonah attracted to one. Usually, girls clung to him, but he never really paid attention to them. However, this time he had hurt Kylan so much, and the drunk emotions were difficult to manage. Therefore his eyes began to water. He felt like an asshole since he was doing the same thing.

Maybe it was time that he forgot about Jonah, forgot about everything that had been said ever since their one-night stand until today.

"I like you, Ky."

"I like you too," Kylan whispered to himself unconsciously. However, when he realized what he had said out loud, he reached under the sink for water and splashed it on his face, wiping the tears as well. He needed to calm down and face the reality of things. Jonah's words probably did not mean anything, which was a harsh reality to move on from, but he needed to do it.

When the door suddenly opened, he did not even turn to look who had entered. However, when he heard the clicking of the lock being turned to make sure nobody came in, he did worry a bit. When his eyes glanced, he could not stop himself from turning a second time before his eyes settled completely.

Jonah's worried gaze met his, and he drew in a heavy breath. Neither of them said anything for a few minutes, and Jonah twirled the ice cubes in the drink he was carrying. He was not blind. He had seen the entire scene between Ashley and Kylan, as well as Kylan storming off after observing him for a while. It was evident it was because of him, and he decided not to wait and hurriedly talk to him.

Jonah stepped forward, "Kylan."

Kylan gulped, and after a shaky breath, he said, "Jonah."

"What are you doing?"

After a short pause, Kylan replied, "I needed to water my face a little bit."

"Why?" Jonah asked suspiciously.

Kylan was drunk. Therefore he did not hold anything back. After a scoff, he spat, "You know why."

"No, I don't," Jonah took another sip of his drink, placed his glass down on the counter, and stepped forward, "elaborate for me."

"You're still playing with me, and I don't like it."

"How exactly am I playing with you?"

Kylan rolled his eyes in annoyance, "You know how."

"No," Jonah was very calm, which unsettled Kylan, "I don't know how."

"It hasn't even been a week after you told me you liked me, and all of a sudden, you're literally drooling over this girl, and she's very pretty, by the way," Kylan hissed, narrowing his eyes. Jonah chuckled in disbelief, "Did I do something wrong there?"

"Yes, you told me you liked me "

"I told you I liked you." Jonah stepped forward and broadened his shoulders, his face suddenly becoming menacingly serious, "What am I supposed to do, wait around until your done with that little bitch of yours?" He had been drinking as well. Therefore there were some words that he would not usually pronounce.

Kylan scoffed, "No but-"

"And how am I supposed to feel? Walking in and replaceing you eating your girlfriend's face?"

"You've known for a while that I have a girlfriend. You need to get used to it."

"So why are you angry with me?" Jonah widened his arms with narrowed eyes, "You have a damn girlfriend, and I'm supposed to stay single just because you're not prepared to be with me, watch you fuck around with this random girl thinking that I'm just going to throw myself up your ass and wait for you."

"I never asked you to wait for me."

"Then why are we having this conversation right now?" Jonah spat, "I'm free to do whatever I want, so don't speak to me as if I'm doing something wrong when I'm not."

"Then did you ever like me?" Kylan said, shaking his head, "Or was that a lie?"

"What are you talking about?" Jonah snarled, "I meant that shit when I said it. You're the one who backed off."

"I never backed off-"

"And now, since you got a bit of alcohol in your system, you're mad at me for doing absolutely nothing wrong." Kylan shook his head, turning away from him and scratching the back of his neck, "Whatever, just leave me alone."

Jonah paused for a moment, turning around for a moment and stressfully sending his fingers through his hair. They had gone back and forth about this for too long of a time that this was the last straw. It was either Kylan would come with him right now, or he would attempt to move on. If that meant leaving the setting completely, then that was what he was prepared to do because the emotions he was feeling needed to be taken care of.

Finally, he turned around. "Listen, Ky. I'll be blunt with you now. I want you to be mine," Kylan's heart jumped from his stomach, "but I'm done chasing you. I've yelled at you so many times that I'm exhausted. I've told you I liked you, and I told you how I felt like you didn't accept me. I told you how I feel when I see you with those girls. Now I'm done, alright? You either choose me, or you choose her." When Kylan raised his eyebrows in shock, Jonah nodded his head, "I am doing this. If you do choose me, prove to me that you want me. Show me that you like me because I'm done arguing with you."

A silence fell between them, and when Kylan's eyes fell from Jonah's eyes and observed the lips that he had admired earlier, Jonah knew the pick was him. That was why he raced forward, wholeheartedly pressed his lips against Kylan's, and pushed him against the wall, dominating the kiss as Kylan responded by gripping his dress shirt and attempting to unbutton it. Jonah grunted against the kiss when Kylan bit his bottom lip, but their kiss continued. It lasted for what felt liken an eternity, Jonah gripping Kylan's jaw with both his hands as if he was stopping Kylan from ever running away from him.

However, soon the door opened, and when they heard the familiar high pitch voice that said, "Kylan, are you okay?" both felt their hearts jump from their chests. It had been too late, and Ashley's eyes widened in complete and utter shock. Her palm placed her mouth, the other one holding the keys to the bathroom.
