Just You and Me

  We walk into Gabe's house and Peter is immediately greeted with a bunch of high fives and "Yooo Kavinsky!" and those man hugs that guys do. I try to look around for Lucas or Chris while Peter is talking to people but I can't find. I'll just look more later.
  "Hey Covey, want a drink?"
  "I would love that." I give him a peck on his cheek then I sit down on the couch while Peter goes to get us a drink. I feel a presence come near me and sit down. Gen.
  "Heyy LJ! Here with Peter I see?"
   "Yeah, he's getting us drinks right now but he'll be back soon." I try to fake a smile but it's hard to when the girl you despise most is right in front of you.
  "You know, Peter and I used to go to like all the parties there were. But I see you barely come. People used to call us-"
  I cut her off because I get so mad that she keeps trying to piss me off no matter what. "Gen just stop. It's been a year and you're still trying to break up our relationship? Just because ours isn't toxic or fake like yours are, doesn't mean you have to barge in and ruin everything up." I can't believe I'm saying this but I see the look on Gen's face so I keep going. "Just give up already Gen. Me and Peter are happy the way we are. You can't do anything to change that. So why don't you go to your college boyfriends and at least try to make one of those relationships work before you destroy mine." I feel so relieved to say that to her face. She looks so shocked. Is it bad that I'm happy from the look on her face? It's a mix of anger, sadness, and surprise. What I didn't realize is that everyone in the room was staring at us. She looks around the room and lets a hmph as she rolls her eyes and walks away. People start clapping and all of a sudden I'm the center of attention. 
  "Whoa, pop off LJ!" I hear Lucas' voice come up behind me and sit down.
  "Yeah. The look on Gen's face was hysterical!" Chris says as she sits down next to us. "Didn't know you had it in you LJ."
   I let out a little laugh and then some people walk by me giving me high fives.
  "What'd I miss?" Peter comes up to us with our drinks. "Why was everyone clapping? And why is everyone high fiving you?"
   "Oh, Kavinsky, you missed the show. Lara Jean verbally slapped Gen in the face! She was all like 'Gen you're such a bitch' and 'back off of my man' and 'Pew Pew go to hell Gen'." Chris seems so happy that I finally stood up to her cousin. A little too happy...
  "I never said anything near what Chris said. All I said was it's ridiculous that she's still trying to get in between us when she has like 10 other guys waiting at her feet for commands like dogs And you know, i said some other things that aren't important. Then we realized everyone was staring at us and then when she left, everyone was praising me like a goddess." I feel a rush of pride when I replay the scene that just happened.
  "Ohhh, so that's why Gen stormed out of the room and into the backyard looking a tomato!" Peter says with a huge grin on his face. "Well, I'm glad that she got the embarrassment she deserved." Peter gives me a kiss on my cheek and hands me my Cherry Coke, my favorite!
  There's a silence between the four of us since Peter knows he can't say anything with Lucas and Chris around and Lucas and Chris can't say anything we normally talk about because Peter's here. "You can go play Beer Pong with your friends you know? It's fine have fun." I say to Peter and his eyes open up with joy.
  "Really? Thank you! Love you Covey!" He kissed my forehead and leaves before I can respond. I knew he didn't want to leave me because we came together and we haven't been to a party together for a while so he thought I wanted him to stick around. Truth was, I kinda wanted to just talk to Lucas and Chris and I wanted him to be free with his friends.
   Lucas, Chris, and I talk and talk and talk and occasionally walk around the backyard but when we're inside, I can't keep my eyes off of Peter. He's so cute when he's concentrating. I admire the way his jaw slightly clenches and the way his eyes squint and the way his lips purse as he's focusing on something. I guess he could feel my stare because he looks up and smiles. I feel my phone buzz. It's Peter.

                              Peter💕

you okay? do you want to go?

    I'm fine and I don't wanna go yet. why?

then why do you keep staring at me?

because I love you

I love you too Covey😘

   "Eck. You guys send such lovey dovey texts and you're not even 30 feet away from each other." Chris says with a disgusting look on her face.
   "Chris, don't be rude. Let the lovebirds text wherever they want, whenever they want." Lucas says as he winks at me. I let out a giggle.
After that nothing exciting really happened except that one of the guys on the soccer team jumped off the roof and into the pool fully clothed. And as the crazy seniors they are, people started following, one after another. Peter came up to me, "Wanna jump?"
   "Me? No way!" I can't believe he would ask that when he already knows the answer.
   "Come on, Covey. It'll be funnn." Peter pouts and gives me those eyes.
  "Ugh screw it. Lets go." I can't believe the words that come out of my mouth much less the actions that follow. I knew I would regret it. Me and Peter jump off holding hands into the pool. It was actually really fun!
  "Omg that was actually so fun!!"
  "Told ya Covey." Peter smiles at me with that i was right face. I just stick my tongue out at him like a little kid and roll my eyes. Then he wraps his arms around my waist and crushes his lips into mine. God, what did i do in my past life to deserve such a hot,sweet guy like Peter?
