RORY’S POV

If looks could kill then I would surely be toast right now.

Leslie’s eyes darted from my face to my hand- which still had Todd’s wrapped around it. I could literally feel the glare from her even radiating heat and anger towards me.

Todd stood up in front of me and I became relieved immediately because he was blocking me from seeing Leslie’s furious face.

“What are you doing here?” Todd asked her in a grumble.

Leslie let out a short cackle. I could hear the bitterness clearly.

“So, it has become a crime to come visit you because of this rebranded Nerd here.” She said and I shut my eyes briefly in embarrassment.

Todd growled angrilly.

“How dare you walk in here calling….” I could feel his temper rising and I was just about to plead with him not to raise his voice so much when Leslie burst in to hysterical tears.

“I can’t believe you are doing this to me Todd! All of a sudden you are acting like you don’t care about me anymore. You have not cared about me ever since that st

    (RORY’S POV)I froze instantly. The silence was deafening and what made it worse was that I was starring in to Todd’s eyes when I said those words. So now, I could not take them back and I could not look elsewhere. I just stared at him and wished the ground will swallow me.Typical of me!Things are going so smoothly and I ruin it once I open my mouth. Why did I say that? Did I scare him? Todd obviously looked shocked too, he’s just starring back like he’s under a spell. Damn it! It’s the Vanilla Candles! It’s definitely the candles!He got the exact ones I love, the ones I order all the way from abroad. Or was it the feeling of his intention towards me as I stepped in to this place? The way things are orderly arranged down to the littlest most important detail.“Rory.” I snapped back in to focus. He had moved and I was lost deep in thought, still frozen to the ground. Okay. Double embarrassed right now. “I’m so sorry. For startling you with those words.” I said quickly. “I mea

  • When Best Friends Kiss   125 - I love You So Much!

    (TODD’S POV) The drive to the lake house felt like the longest journey of my life, even though it was only about an hour outside of town. Every mile was a slow burn of anticipation, a countdown to finally being alone with Rory, away from the prying eyes of school, the teasing of her sister, and the well-meaning but utterly mortifying advice of my mom. Rory was sitting beside me, a soft, ethereal presence, looking impossibly beautiful in that navy blue dress. I kept glancing at her, stealing glances at her profile illuminated by the passing streetlights, her ginger curls a luminous halo against the dark headrest. My hand, still tingling from our kiss in the driveway, longed to reach for hers, but I held back, wanting to prolong the delicious suspense of the evening. “Are we almost there?” Rory asked, her voice soft, a hint of playful impatience in her tone. Her beautiful eyes, bright with curiosity, turned to me. I chuckled, a low rumble in my chest. “Almost, Candy. Just a few more

  • When Best Friends Kiss   124 - Our Magical Night!

    (TODD’S POV)“You are the most beautiful person on the planet.” I said. The porch light cast a soft, ethereal glow around her, turning her into something utterly breathtaking. My breath hitched in my throat, a sudden, sharp gasp stealing the air from my lungs. I knew Rory was beautiful, I’d known it for years, seen it in the quiet intensity of her focus, the soft curve of her smile, the way her ginger curls caught the sunlight. But the Rory standing before me now, framed in the doorway, was something else entirely.The navy blue dress, simple yet elegant, shimmered faintly as she moved, hugging her figure in a way that was both modest and incredibly alluring. It was a new side of her, a bolder, more confident Rory, and it hit me like a physical blow. Her ginger curls, usually pulled back or tamed, cascaded around her shoulders in soft, bouncy waves, framing a face that was somehow both familiar and strikingly new. And her eyes, those captivating emerald eyes, sparkled with a dazzling

  • When Best Friends Kiss   123 - The Most Beautiful!

    (RORY’S POV)“Okay, Rory Davis! What’s the dress code disaster update? I’m ready for this fashion intervention!” Amanda’s voice crackled through the phone, full of her usual vibrant energy, instantly pulling me into her world.“You have no idea, Amanda!” I exclaimed, grabbing a pair of dark jeans and a comfortable sweater from my closet. “Everything in here screams ‘library,’ not ‘special night out.’ What if Todd’s taking me somewhere fancy? What if he’s expecting me to wear something fancy and I just look… drab?” My panic was genuine. My wardrobe, carefully curated for comfort and anonymity, felt woefully inadequate for a romantic evening with Todd.“Drab? Rory, please. You could wear a potato sack and still look amazing with those ginger curls and those hazel eyes,” Amanda scoffed, but then her voice turned serious. “Okay, put me on speaker. And start pulling out everything you own that isn’t a hoodie or sweatpants. We’re going to find something.”I set my phone down on my dresser,

  • When Best Friends Kiss   122 - Getting Ready For Tonight!

    (RORY’S POV)“I still can’t believe this!” Rosalie exclaimed, her eyes, wide with theatrical shock, meticulously following my every movement as I tried on yet another dress in front of the full-length mirror. She had been perched on my bed for what felt like an eternity, offering a running commentary that swung wildly between disbelief and giddy excitement.I groaned, a sound of profound exhaustion, and smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand. “Come on, Rosa. It’s been more than thirty minutes since I told you my plans for tonight. Can you just please get over it already?” I begged, my voice muffled, then turned my attention back to my reflection, scrutinizing the dress with a critical eye. It was a pale blue, rather shapeless, and definitely not the ‘special night out’ vibe.Rosalie uncrossed her legs, her bare feet hitting the carpet with a soft thud, but her gaze remained fixed on me, still radiating an almost comical level of shock. “I just can’t get over it!” she announced,

  • When Best Friends Kiss   121 - With My Princess!

    (TODD’S POV)The key slid into the lock, a satisfying click echoing in the quiet entryway of our house. I pushed the door open, a wide, irrepressible grin plastered across my face. The scent of my mom’s cooking, a comforting mix of spices and simmering sauce, hit me immediately, but even that couldn’t dampen the buzzing excitement that coursed through my veins. It was almost six. Almost time. Rory.“I’m home!” I called out, my voice probably a little too loud, betraying the sheer elation bubbling inside me. I tossed my backpack onto the couch, peeling off my practice jersey as I walked towards the kitchen, already picturing Rory’s face when she saw what I had planned for tonight.My mom, Tessie O’Connor, was at the stove, stirring a pot, her back to me. She was humming softly, a familiar tune from an old R&B song. As I got closer, she slowly turned, a dishtowel slung over her shoulder, and the moment her eyes met mine, a knowing smirk spread across her face. It wasn’t a questioning sm
