Seeing Double

I didn’t know what to think of what happened at the girl’s house. It was hard to put my feelings in place when I didn’t know what they were arguing about to begin with. Were they arguing about me? Were they arguing about nothing? Were they simply arguing because they were sisters and that’s what sisters do? I would never know. The fact that they were arguing in Spanish didn’t help the situation at all. I didn’t speak Spanish. I spoke French, but not Spanish.

How would I ever know what their fights were about?
I grabbed my spiral notebook from my desk before sitting down on my bed. A sigh slipped past my lips as I lay down on my bed. I flipped the pages of the notebook until I was on the page of my infamous list. Eventually I would have to pick one of the girls, but how could I? My heart wanted both of them. I stared at the list as I sighed once more.

Heaven
1. Her amazing smile
2. She’s always excited to see me
3. Her confidence
4. She’s flirtatious
5. She loves to skateboard
6. She’s easily pleased

Neveah
1. Her amazing eyes
2. Her modesty
3. How caring & resourceful she is
4. She always finds a way to entertain herself
5. My heart knows it wants her
6. Gorgeous without trying

According to the lists, they were evenly matched. How was I going to pick one of them? If I wanted to make this list thing work, I would have to work faster. I couldn’t continue to torture me heart like this. I would have to make a decision soon, but I could only do that if I finished the lists.

I could only finish the list if I could figure out what I loved about each of the girls faster. I knew that I loved them; it shouldn’t be hard for me to figure out what I loved about them. It was impossible to love someone and not know what you loved about them, yet I couldn’t figure it out. Here I was making a list just to figure out what I loved about them. It was the only thing I could do. I wasn’t experienced in the area of love. I had never gone through something like this before.

My phone vibrating in my pocket broke me from my trance. I stared out the unfamiliar numbers before I answered the call. Normally, I stray away from numbers that I do not recognize because of fans, but I had enough on my mind already. One fan calling couldn’t cause more drama.

“Did you miss me?” a familiar voice filled my ears.

I couldn’t help but smile as I set my notebook on the bed beside me. “I should’ve known Heaven would call.”

“And bring you an angel.” She giggled.

That’s when it hit me. The only way that I would be able to figure out who I loved more is if I spent more time with them, alone time. I would have to be alone with them with no distractions in order to figure out who I wanted more. I may end up torturing my heart more as a result, but in the end, I would determine who I cared for more. That’s all that matters to me right now.

“So what is my Angel doing after school tomorrow?”

“Well,” she began “After school I have cheerleading practice, but I’m free after that. Any reason why you’re questioning me about my schedule babe?”

I couldn’t help but smirk as Heaven flirted once more. It’s what I loved about her. I licked my lips as I chuckled. “How about I pick you up after practice and we go out somewhere?”

“Mr. Justin, are you asking me out on a date?”

My smirk only grew wider. “Are you saying yes?”
