One Last Breath-twelve;

Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric.
OOka Okay. Now shut up, self.
I don't know why Eric won't call me back.
*Ring*
Oh.
"Hello?"
"What did you want, Vic?"
"You, Eric."
He made a sound that signaled his annoyance. I didn't want him to hang up on me. Someone who was with Eric, a guy, shouted "Who is it?"  from across the room.
"I'm coming over," I told him.
"No, Vic. You don't have to do tha-"
I hung up, called Mariah, and we went over to Eric's house. When we got there, his friend Kenney immediately noticed Mariah. She immediately noticed him, also.
"Hey, Eric."
"Why are you in my house...?"
"Well..."
"Spit it out."
"I decided you were going to take me back."
"Oh, did you?"
"I did."
"No," he said. I wondered when he got so confident.
I took this as a challenge. I kissed him. He pulled away, and made me feel worthless.
"NO."
"Why not?"
"I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE."
I guess I normally would have been offended by this, but surprisingly I wasn't.
"Please," I begged.
Our eyes locked, and I was going to win this staring contest. Don't look away. Don't look away. Don''t look away.
"Wow. You are so annoying."
"I'm really not. I just want you back."
"Who said I'd take you back?"
Another challenge? Yes. We kissed again, but this time he didn't pull away. I caught him. After about twenty seconds, I pulled away. Eric didn't like that idea, though, so he kissed me again. A smile creeped up on his face.
"Okay,"
"Alright,"
The night was going good for me, as well as Mariah.
"Kenney asked me to go to Destiny's party with him," she said.
"Damn, get me an invite?"
"Done. You need a date."
"Got one," I winked.
