23. Ask
Libra's POV
Can't believe I'm saying this, but dinner is actually going pretty decent with all zodiacs together. Well, after all the Leo and Virgo and Sagi and Scorpio thing. They didn't go at each others throats after we all had our food, which I was grateful for. Although, most of it was super hilarious. Oh, and if you were asking, no. Taurus didn't get two of everything.
"This is so good," Taurus said with a mouthful of his food.
"Right? We should go here more often," Aqua replied also with a mouthful of food in her mouth.
I look at everyone and Scorpio was eating silently and so was Cancer. Virgo and Pisces were talking and Pisces actually looked happy today. It made me happy. Gemini and Aries were playing with their food together which was super gross. Leo and Sagi were having a burping competition. Also super gross. Lupus was silently eating her food, but she was talking to Cancer every now and then.
I turned to Cap who was quiet for a while. "Think you can top this?" I smirked at him.
He put down his fork and gave me a dramatic disappointed look. "Hell yeah I can, Lib. This might be good, but I bet I'm better."
"Oh, really?" I say smirking at him and raising a brow. "Whatever you say." I stopped looking at him now knowing that he was still looking at me. I took a mouthful of my food as he started to say something again.
"You think I can't?" he said in disbelief.
"That's not what I said. I said whatever you say," I say smirking at him. I like how our relationship was. Friendship. I meant friendship. We're just friends. Our conversations were always fun and games. We always teased each other and annoyed each other and that's what I love about it. He's really great.
"I hear a bit of disbelief there, Libby," he said staring daggers at me.
"Stop calling me that," I said almost laughing. I love when he calls me that though.
"Libby Libby Libby," he sings my name.
I started laughing. Not because it was funny, but because of how cute it was. "You're so annoying, Cap," I say rolling my eyes still smiling and laughing.
He nudged my shoulder and started to eat again. I started to eat too, but I was probably blushing like crazy. I was trying to stop it, but I don't think anybody was watching me anyway. Wrong. I saw Lupus looking at me and she waved when she caught me looking at her. I waved back. Did she see me blush?
"Gem! Aries! Stop it, that's so gross!" Virgo yells at them.
Gem has pasta and sauce all over her shirt while Aries had noodles in his hair. They were both eating with their mouths open and laughing about it. When Virgo yelled at them, they looked like the most innocent things on earth. I found it absolutely funny and adorable.
I laughed at how stupid they were. Aries looked at Gem and Gem looked at Aries. Aries just shrugged and started talking to Virgo with food still in his mouth. "I'm tho tho tho thorry, Birgo."
Virgo flinched at him. "Disgusting," she turned back to Pisces. Aries and Gem just started laughing.
"Who would've known Gem could be one of the Fire Signs," Cap said to me.
I shook my head. I didn't look at him but I was still watching Gem and Aries. "Let's be honest, Gem could fit in almost any group."
He laughed and agreed with me. I looked at him back and laughed. It's completely true too. Gemini could be as sensitive as a water sign, as controlling as an earth sign, as creative as an air sign, and as exciting as a fire sign. I envy her sometimes.
"Go to the bathroom," Cap whispered to me. He walked out of the booth. "I'll be back guys. My mom is calling me." He held his phone in his hand.
Everyone looked at him and waved to him as he left. Why the hell does he want me to go to the bathroom? Did something happen? Or does he need to tell me anything? I waited until I made an excuse to go to the bathroom which I didn't really need to go. I didn't want anyone to think that Cap and I were going to talk about something together. I stood up about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Aqua asked.
"To the bathroom. I'll be back," I responded. I left this time and was walking to the bathroom. On my way there, I was looking at how pretty everything was. Everything was so shiny!!! I like shiny things. When I was finally by the bathroom door, a hand yanked me to the side so that I was behind two golden pillars. Capricorn.
"Hey," he said to me with both hands on my shoulders.
I was almost scared until I saw that it was him. "Hey." I pulled a strand of hair behind my ear. "What's up?" I crossed my arms as if I was cool or something. Capricorn and I were standing really close right now. I liked being this close to him. I liked being near him in general.
"Okay, so," he began. He took a deep breath. "I'm going to ask you something really important." He looked into my eyes when he said this which means it's really important. Both of his hands were on my shoulders still so I was trying not to blush, and luckily I didn't. What is he going to ask me? Is he going to ask me out? Ugh, stop thinking like that Libra! You'll blush!
"Yeah, so what is it?" I ask him looking into both of his brown eyes. He had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Everything about him was so beautiful to me. I could feel my heart racing the more I looked at him. He's been my friend for years, and I never realized I could feel this way about my best friend since last month. I was about to blush, but again, I concealed it.
He sighed. And looked down then back up at me. "I need you to ask Aqua if she has a crush on me."
Wait a minute. What? Aqua? He likes Aqua? For a second, my heart dropped like an atomic bomb and shattered. After that second, I felt completely nothing. It's not that I was sad or heartbroken. I literally felt nothing. I feel like I completely stopped breathing, but I was still alive. Unfortunately. I decided to make myself sound cool. I can't let him think I was into him after he knows that I know that he likes Aqua. Was that confusing?
"Yeah, sure. I got you," I said to him. I must've shown no emotion like I wanted because he thanked me as if he never knew I liked him. Which he never did. I wish he did now. I wanted to tell him now that I liked him. But that's just selfish. He likes Aquarius. Our bestfriend. I can't put him in that situation. Or maybe I just don't want to be in that situation. He left back to the booth, and I just stood there emotionless.
I haven't felt like this ever since my parents divorced. If Aqua and Cap do get together, I'll just be the odd one out. I'll lose Aqua and Cap too, and I just know I will. I'll be invited to dates with them and they'll probably be making out while I'm just there third wheeling. I don't know. And what if they break up? I'll eventually have to choose a side, right? It's horrible losing both of them, but losing one seems even worse. Losing them both is better, knowing that I know they're both happy together. But do I want them to be happy? Wait. What am I talking about? Of course, I do. It's fine though, right? I don't even know if Aqua likes Cap in that way anyway. I sure hope she doesn't at least. But if she does, I can't be there to ruin their happiness.
I didn't realize how long I was standing there. I went to the bathroom to see if I showed any sign of sadness. Everything was perfect though. I leave the bathroom and walk into the booth with a smile that no one could dig through. "Hey, babes," I say as Cap let me in the middle between him and Aqua.
"What took you so long?" Aries asked me.
I frowned up. "I'm on my period, Aries. Don't question it. I'm also in a great mood so be grateful!"
He put his hands up in defense. Aqua looked at me. "Did you have a tampon?"
"Yeah, thank God," I said sighing then laughing. Of course, I wasn't really on my period, but they don't know that. At least I hope not. That'll just be creepy.
"Well, I need to get these noodles out my hair. Thanks to you, Gem," Aries said giving Gem a fake death stare. Gem just gave a sly smile.
"Yeah, I'll help," Cap said rolling his eyes.
Aqua and Gem laughed. Lupus, Leo, and Sagi all got up so that Aries could leave. When they sat back down when Aries and Cap left, Sagi put an arm around Gem. "So, you and Aries, huh?" she began to say.
Gemini rolled her eyes. "Sag, now you know that's probably the most grossest thing you've ever said. And I've heard all your sex jokes."
Sagi rubbed her chin. "All? Ooh! I have one you weren't there for! Okay so-"
"NO!" everyone yelled.
Sagi just rolled her eyes. "I'll tell you later." She slouched in her spot and chewed her straw some more. Sagittarius is probably the most unladylike girl I've ever met. I have nothing against her though. She wears makeup sometimes and wears regular girl clothes, but she's a literal dude by heart.
"You guys are something else," Lupus said to us laughing.
"Excuse her. She's just always like this," Pisces said laughing too. Leo nodded his head in agreement.
"Not always," Sagi said.
"Yes, always," Cancer said nodding.
Sagi rolled her eyes. I totally see why Cancer thinks she doesn't like her, but at the same time maybe that's just how she is.
"Taur! Stop!" Virgo says slapping Taurus' hand. Of course, he was trying to take some of her food. Did I ever mention Virgo is a slow eater? She's seriously the only one with her food right now. She can't not expect Taurus to eat her food. Let alone, Taurus out of all people.
"It's getting cold! I'm helping you finish!" he replied back with.
Me and Aqua laughed. Honestly, who doesn't love Taurus?
