The Delusional Idiot

CHAPTER TEN

Mickey

Later that night, I found myself anxiously pacing back and forth in my bedroom, with my phone firmly glued to my ear. It was going on 2 o’clock in the morning, and I was so wired that I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I could hear the sound of my heart, as it still beat rapidly in my chest. My mind would then flash back to what happened a few short hours ago. I could still feel his lips on mine. His strong hands on my skin. His calloused fingers weaving through my hair...

Oh, God...

“C’mon, pick up, pick up, pick up...” I muttered impatiently, as I continued my desperate pacing.

“Huh?” A groggy voice finally answered after the fifth ring.

I breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s about time you answered your phone, Eli.”

“Mickey?” He asked in a low whisper. He obviously sounded like he was sleeping.

I let out a frustrated growl. “Yes, it’s me, dummy! Who else would call you at two in the morning with a major crisis?”

He yawned obnoxiously loud and heaved a huge sigh, before asking, “Alright, so what’s this major crisis?”

“Jacobkissedme!” I really didn’t know how I would say it, so I thought blurting it out would make it a bit easier.

There is a long pause and then, “what?”

“Yep, you heard me right, Elijah. Jacob kissed me.” I blew out a deep breath, throwing myself back onto my bed, causing Penelope to scurry away.

“What do you mean by kissed you?”

Was this boy dense?

“I mean he kissed me, Eli. He put his lips on mine and I just completely...”

“Oh, okay, I think I get it, Mickey.” Elijah cut me off, before I could float too far away.

I groaned a little, running a hand across my face. “Eli, what am I going to do?”

I then heard the sound of shuffling in the background, before Elijah began speaking again. “Ok, so tell me what happened, exactly?”

I sat up, letting out another heavy sigh. “Well, Jake just showed up at my apartment with Chinese; thanks for letting me know you guys came home early, by the way. A phone call would have been nice.”

“Hey,” he protested, “I was a little busy today. And how was I supposed to know that my brother would show up at your front door?”

I ignored him, because I knew he was right, and just continued, “anyways, he just showed up at my door. We watched a movie and we talked. Like we used to do. Then, randomly, he started to bombard me with all of these questions about you, me, and our relationship.” Or lack thereof.

“Wait, what kind of questions?”

I pulled myself further onto my bed and curled my legs underneath me. “You know, he was asking how we got together. Who initiated the whole thing? Things like that.”

“And how did you answer them?”

“I couldn’t.” I exasperated, remembering back to how completely blank my mind went, when Jacob was asking me those questions about Elijah. “I mean, my mind drew a blank, and I started stumbling over my words.
