The Triangle

Chapter 150 ? Behavior

While making out, she tried slipping off my shirt, but I grabbed her wrists, stopping her. She split apart from our kiss.

MINX:
"What?" Her brows furrowed together.

WILBUR:
"I don't want to have sex with you." I admitted.

She blinked slowly, then grabbed her shirt off of the cushion, putting it back on. Once it was on, she stared at me hard.

MINX:
"Why can't you love me like you do her...??" She asked.

WILBUR:
"Because...there's only one of her...but there's many of you...many girls who would do anything for me, many girls who'd do anything to have me...but Y/N is content with not having me in her life. She's independent, kind...she's everything you're not...and that's why I love her...I've always loved her...and I always will...no hookup will ever change that..."

She swallowed hard.

WILBUR:
"I don't love you, Minx...I never will...how do you think I got through all our hookups? Every time I imagined it was Y/N I was really doing it with. You really thought you were that special...?"

Slight tears formed in the corners of her eyes. Minx looked at me in disbelief and sadness.

MINX:
"You...you made love to me over and over...because you wanted to imagine it was with her instead...?" She asked quietly.

WILBUR:
"It's always been her Minx...even if she doesn't pick me...she's the only one I want in this backseat with me..." I frowned at her with a serious expression.

Minx's eyes fell to my stomach, she tilted her head down as she pressed her lips together.

• REALITY •
That memory made so much more sense now. Minx got offended every time I called her Y/N, I did it just to piss her off.

I had sex with Minx and every single time, I imagined it was Y/N I was really doing it with. Telling her that to her face made her expression fall. Her voice was quiet and weak, she was vulnerable. Minx didn't force me to have sex with her, she didn't try pushing me into it, because she truly loved me.

Her behavior suddenly made a lot more sense. For once in my life, I felt bad for her, and I felt like a jerk for treating her poorly.

WILBUR:
"I—I should talk to her..." I looked at Y/N nervously.

She nodded in agreement while holding on to herself.

Y/N:
"Good luck." She lightly smiled.

I nodded, then jogged into the school to find Minx. Right when I turned the corner, I saw her sitting down on the cold floor, leaned up against the lockers as she played with a blonde barbie doll's hair in her lap, smiling as she did so.

I took a deep breath then walked over to her.

WILBUR:
"Hey..." I nervously smiled.

She shot her head up, her expression dropped, as did her smile.

MINX:
"H—Hi..." She quickly put the barbie into her backpack beside her.

WILBUR:
"Could we talk...?"

She nodded while holding her knees to her chest. Soon, I took a seat down next to her.

WILBUR:
"I spoke to Y/N, and she told me something interesting about you..."

Her eyebrows squished together.

WILBUR:
"She told me that you've liked me since the first grade..."

Minx's eyes widened, I could tell her heart dropped.

WILBUR:
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" I shook my head while huffing out a smile.

She bit the inside of her cheek.

MINX:
"It wouldn't have mattered...at the end of the day, you still love her..." She pressed her lips together.

I frowned at her.

WILBUR:
"I'm sorry for my behavior and...I'm sorry I made you feel like you didn't matter..."

MINX:
"It's okay..." She lightly smiled.

WILBUR:
"No, it's not...I made you feel like how I've felt my whole life...just a person in the shadows...the one who can't get the one they want...I'll do whatever you want to make up for all the stuff I did to you..."

She swallowed hard while adverting her gaze to her black combat boots.

MINX:
"You still like her...?" She asked while looking back at my eyes.

I nodded slowly.

WILBUR:
"Yeah...I still like her..."

She licked her lips while looking off to the side.

MINX:
"I hope you two are happy together..." She sadly smiled at me as tears filled her eyes.

I sighed as my lips curled up then I shook my head, wrapped my arm around her as I hugged her closely. Minx wrapped her arms around my waist, hugging me back tightly.

After a few moments, she let go, but I still had my arm wrapped around her shoulder.

WILBUR:
"For what it's worth...that night we had our date last, at Quackity's food truck..."

She met my eyes.

WILBUR:
"I lied about imagining Y/N every time we hooked up..."

Her eyes widened.

WILBUR:
"There was a little part of me that looked down at you and thought that you were beautiful..." I sadly smiled at her.

She pouted while smiling, her tears collapsed down her cheeks.

WILBUR:
"Friends?"

MINX:
"Friends." She sniffled while smiling softly at me.

WILBUR:
"Good. Now, what's with the barbie doll?" I chuckled.

MINX:
"It's a long story."

WILBUR:
"I got time for you." I smiled at her.

Minx's cheeks blushed red as she sweetly smiled with a nod. She grabbed the doll out of her backpack and started telling me all about its history.
