38: The Final Encore

TAYA’s POV : "Taya, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Blake’s hand reached for mine and his eyes were tender and pleading. This were the words I had been wanting to hear all year long, but now that I had heard it, I didn’t even know how to respond. "I..." my throat closed up and I looked like a deer caught in headlights. My eyes darted to Judah who was talking to Gabe and Hallee in the background. Judah noticed that I was looking at him and he looked right back at me. I figured that he would throw me his signature cocky smirk, but he didn't. His lip stayed in a straight line and then he looked away. "Taya?" Blake said again and I turned my face back to him. Blake's face was just naturally handsome, his ocean blue eyes were begging with me, and yet I felt nothing. I never wanted to string Blake along. I wasn't attracted to Judah in the beginning and I only let myself into this deal with him so I could get back with Blake. I got what I wanted now, but it didn't feel that way at all. Mayb
