" i'm desperate !" He complained through the door.
"Just two more minutes."
"You said that 20 minutes ago."
I opened the door and blinked as he rushed past me into the bathroom.
"Patience my friend." I poked my tongue out, looking back at him.
He sighed deeply, happy to finally relieve himself.
"Oh go away you. And shut the door behind you. I know you like what you see though." He winked at me, laughing.
"If you say so." I replied, walking on into my room, ignoring his request of closing the door.
"TABLE'S FREE !" shouted up the stairs.
"You bitch." I pouted, as rushed into the only vacant seat at the breakfast table seconds before me.
"You know you wouldn't of had this problem if you didn't spend so long in the bathroom this morning." He grinned back up at me, annoyingly.
"Oh be quiet." I replied, looking over to the other two sat down at the table.
"Fucking fuck it. Come on then." said, patting his knee.
I smiled at him and took my seat on his lap.
"So, what's the plan for today then ?" I asked, picking up a bit of 's toast and kissing him on the cheek as an apology.
"Well, WE are practicing today. I don't know what your plans are." chirped up, placing the last of his baked beans carefully onto his fork.
"Hmmm, i guess i'll just have to laze around the house in my underwear all day until you lot come back and provide me with some decent entertainment.
"Well, it's funny actually. I think got it wrong. We're practicing tomorrow. We're free today. Completely free. Maybe we could join you ?" joined in.
I smirked at their stupidity.
"Oh but boys, it's circled on your calender over there. Maybe you could all join me another day ?" I winked, getting up off and making my way upstairs into my room.
" ! What have i told you about marking things down on that bloody calender ?!" shouted.
"What ? It just makes perfect sense to be organised." He shrugged, and then shielded his face as the boys all bundled him to the floor.
" . Club tonight. What do you say ?" asked me as they all returned home from practicing.
"I say yes and please." I smiled back at him.
"Fuck, fuck, FUCK. Move, moveeee !" We all turned to the doorway where came rushing in.
"HEY. You said you'd be in just your underwear all day and i'm not seeing any signs of lace anywhere." He said, standing in front of me and crossing his arms across his chest sulkily.
I reached down towards my jeans and pulled up my light pink, french knickers a tiny amount and bit down on my bottom lip, winking at seductively.
"Oh shitting hell. Excuse me, i need to just do this thing about this thing in that place upstairs." blurted out, quickly running up the stairs afterwards.
I joined the boys in laughing about .
"Bless him. That boy seriously needs some fanny." chuckled as he threw himself on the sofa next to me, slinging an arm around my shoulders lazily.
"Wow , you really have a way with words." I rolled my eyes in mock disgust.
"Seriously , that was geniarseee. Deffo do it again sometime ? The look on his face was priceless." grinned at me, taking a seat the other side of me.
"Here you go . Sorry about earlier." I said, passing a beer.
"Ummm . What do you think you're doing ? Don't you know that parents can go to prison for buying their underage children alcohol ?" joked.
"Oh be quiet you. He's 18 next month anyway." I punched him lightly on the arm.
"Morals my girl. Morals." He laughed back, clearly slightly tipsy by this point.
"Haaa, look at go. Geeez, could his hands be over that girls body anymore ?" laughed as was drunkenly dancing to the club music in a large crowd, focusing all his attention on a pretty brunette.
"You're only jealous." stated.
"Am not."
"You so are."
"I'm so not."
"Matee you are."
"Fuck this." I sighed.
Sitting in between these two during a pathetic argument like this was not something i wanted to endure all night.
"What's up ?" I asked, noticing him keeping himself to himself quietly.
"It's nothing." He replied glumly, not breaking his eyes away from his gaze.
I looked in the direction that he was staring continuously into.
There was a , slender girl sat at the bar by herself, looking rather upset actually.
"Good choice babee. She's very pretty. Why don't you go over and talk to her ?"
choked on his lazy sipping of his beer and looked at me.
"Come on , you know me. I can't do that !"
"Don't be silly. Of course you can. She looks upset too, i'm sure she'd appreciate the company !" I encouraged him.
"You go and talk to her then." He returned to his sipping.
"W...What are you doing ?" He stuttered, as i stood up.
"Doing what you told me to do." I stated, picking up my now empty glass and heading over to the bar.
"Can i have another Malibu and Coke please ?" I asked once at the bar, sitting on a bar stool next to the girl.
"Hi." I smiled at her.
She turned her head cautiously and smiled wearily back at me.
"I'm ." I smiled at her again.
"I'm sorry but i'm not that way inclined." She said quietly, clearly a little embarassed by the situation.
I giggled for a moment and then took a sip through my straw.
"I'm not either. It's just, i'm sat with four friends of mine. Male friends. And one of them has spent the whole night miserable because he doesn't have enough courage to come over here and talk to you."
She looked behind my head, towards where , and were sat.
noticed and blushed fiercely, breaking eye contact immediately.
"He's really sweet, but he's definately shy when it comes to girls. He's not a complete moron once he's with someone like is, he knows how to act and the right things to say and stuff, it's just actually getting with the girl in the first place that he sucks at."
She smiled at me. This time a full one, not a small weak one like before.
"Ok. So you've broken the ice for us in a weird sort of way. Now what ?" She asked.
"Now you walk over to that table with me, and pour your heart out to about why you're looking so miserable and lonely up at the bar by yourself tonight. And ignore him if he's a complete dick, i promise he's so lovely if you give him time to get over his nerves !"
With that i lead her over to the table.
" this is... OH GOD, i forgot to ask your name. Maybe i'm not so great at this dating lark either ?" I laughed, as the girl sat next to , who looked as though he was really shitting his pants.
" you're dating a girl ? That's hot !" interrupted, over hearing the parts he wanted to.
"Do you reckon you could sort me out with a girl tonight then love matcher ?" asked me, clearly feeling a little bit miserable and left out.
I smiled at him and squeezed his hand gently.
"You bet. Who have you got your eye on tonight then ?"
"No one. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of girls here that would most definately get it, but that's all."
"Awww, don't worry babee. You've got me for tonight. We'll keep each other company." I smiled at him again.
He smiled back.
Me and him were the youngest, and i'd only just turned 18 a few months ago. He was completely mental, but always proved himself to be the sensible one when it came to nights out. He would be the one that looked after us lot and made sure we all got home safely. And after three beers tonight he was sober, and giving up on the idea of drinking tonight.
"WHOOOAAAH !" shouted loudly as he jogged over to our table.
"Good night ?" I smiled at him.
He was the funny one when he was drunk. Well he was the funny one all of the time, he was just incredibly hilarious when under the influence.
"Amazing babee. Why are you being so boring and sitting here with ? What a waste of a night." He slurred, putting an arm around me sloppily.
I prodded him in the side.
"Shhh it you. I'm being his bird for the night."
He prodded me back.
"Yeaaah coz no one else will have him." laughed, downing the rest of my Malibu and Coke.
"Don't be so mean. He's beautiful. Leave him alone ! And re-fill my drink please."
"Alright, alright. Coming right up Madame." He got up and instantly fell back down.
"Oh fucking hell. i'll be back in a minute, i'm just escorting this idiot to the bar."
"Ahaaa, looks like you're not 's bird tonight." laughed a little over the top as he turned around at the bar to look at , who was now joined by a girl.
"Oh that's nice." I laughed.
"What are you going to do nowww ? Coz no one wantsss yooou. And everyonee else is going to have some seriousss sexytimee tonightt." I giggled as he began to do a little dance, turning his words into a song.
"You're such a tit . And where's you're girl for tonight then ?" I asked, remembering the girl he was with earlier on.
"I've got a whole list of them. 9 numbers in one night. That's not bad. Infact that's pretty fucking goHOOOOD."
I smiled.
"I think i'll just leave you guys to it then."
"How will you get home ?" He asked, concern making itself be heard through his drunkern slur.
"I'll get a taxi. Honestly i'll be fine. I'm more worried about you lot !"
"As long as you're sure ? Please text me when you're home. I want to know you're safe." He stopped his eyes from glazing over to look me in the eyes seriously.
"Okk." I smiled at him, giving him a quick hug and then walking outside.
I opened the door to a taxi that was already there, waiting.
Cab drivers knew exactly where they'd make good money and where their target audience was located.
"WAIIIIT. wait !" I flinched just as i was about to shut the taxi door.
" . What are you doing you idiot ?"
"I couldn't let you go home by yourself at this time." He smiled at me, pretty much falling into the taxi.
"Oh shit." I winced, as repeated the same sound over and over again.
"I'm so sorry ." He managed.
I played with his soft curls and twiddled them around my finger, smiling slightly, forgetting the situation we were now in.
"It's okk babee. Don't worry." I soothed, letting go of his hair and rubbing his back gently.
A few minutes later and smiled up at me, looking a complete mess.
"Are you done ?"
He nodded his head slowly.
"Come on then, up you get." I said, pulling him up off the bathroom floor.
"Oh fucking hell ." I tutted, noticing the vomit mess that he'd left on his bed.
"Come on. Lay down here. Anything that you ruin, you're buying me a new one." I stated, carefully helping him to lye down in my double bed.
"You're very good to me aren't you ?" He smiled, his eyes closed.
"I'm fucking good to you ." I laughed.
"Love you." He managed, before his breathing became deeper. He was asleep.
I smiled, and kissed his forehead, before turning around and switching the light out.
"So you had a good night then ?" I smiled, carrying two cups of tea into the living room with me.
"Yes. Thank you for setting that up for us. You were right, he is lovely. Completely different to every other guy out there really." smiled back gratefully, accepting the tea and taking a small sip.
"Sooo, do you plan to see him again ?" I probed, eager to know where this was heading.
"Oh of course. He's taking me out to dinner later in the week sometime."
"Awww, what a gent. Well, well, well. Look who it is !"
"What are you two talking about ?" asked, blinking his eyes a few times as they adjusted to the light.
"Just you. Nothing special." I joked, messing up his hair as i walked upstairs laughing.
moaned as i tried to control my laughter.
"Get fucked ." He muttered, his teeth starting to chatter.
"Get up . You can have my duvet back once you help me tidy your room up."
"Awww, so you cleared all that puke up for me ? I was hoping if i stayed in bed long enough you'd just get on with it and do it." He smiled at me, sitting up in my bed.
"Come on then, your room is a tip." I helped him out of bed and then pushed him into his room.
"Eurggh, it stinks in here." He complained, pinching his nose.
"That my friend, is the lovely smell of your vomit, that is still sat here from last night. You managed to get it all over your bed genius, so you'll have to put the duvet in the washing machine." I stated, picking up a number of dirty plates and cutlery.
"I thought you'd cleared all of this away." He whined, looking at the mess that lay infront of him.
"Well you thought wrong then didn't you mister. I'll take care of getting these plates downstairs, you can be in charge of putting your duvet and sheets in the washing machine." I gave him a grin, knowing he was gutted, and walked down the stairs.
"I've got my money on three days."
"No way, only two at the most."
I walked into the living room, plonking myself down onto one of the armchairs.
"What are you guys arguing about now ?" I tutted at and , overhearing their squabbling.
"How long will last with that girl." stated.
"Ooo, i want in !" shouted excitedly as he jumped on the sofa.
" ! This is horrible. He's suppossed to be your friend. Why aren't you being supportive ?" I complained.
rolled his eyes slightly and seemed to take into consideration what i'd just said.
"You're right. Ok then, i give it five days tops."
" !"
"What ? I think you'll find that's being very generous. Because there's no way they will last that long. 's useless with girls, and we all know it. I'm losing money here just to keep you happy." He argued, clearly not realising how harsh i was finding this all.
"Whatever then." I rolled my eyes, picking up my car keys before leaving.
"Can you three not be trusted with anything ?" sighed loudly as he failed to call again, only getting through to her voicemail.
"Sorry ." replied for all three of them quietly, looking down at his feet.
"I didn't think she'd get this upset. I mean, no offence mate, but it was only you. I'd understand if this was all about her mum or something. But not you." stated.
shook his head at , not taking what he'd said personally.
" , do you think she'll be alright ?" 's concerned voice broke out from his silence.
"What are you lot looking so miserable about ?"
All four heads immediately shot up and looked towards the doorway.
rushed over to me and threw his arms around me.
"Woah. . You okay ?" I chuckled lightly, trying desperately not to fall over from his unexpected embrace.
"I think the question is are you okay ?" He mumbled into my hair, still clutching onto me as though his life depended on it.
"I'm fine." I smiled broadly.
" , stop hogging her ! I was worried too you know." shouted, pushing away and taking his place.
"Where did you go ?" asked shakily, fully aware of the fact that he was the cause of all of this.
I looked over at him and smiled.
"Shopping."
I finished by holding up my numerous bags, maintaining my smile.
Looking over at , i noticed the unconvinced look on his face.
"Am i going to have to force it out of you or will you just take the easy option ?" asked, letting himself into my bedroom and plonking himself infront of me on my bed, sitting cross legged and back straight.
I laughed quietly, whilst sniffing and wiping a few tears with the sleeve of my baggy hoody.
"I just don't know . My head is all over the place right now."
"Are you annoyed with ?"
"No. Well i was a little bit earlier." I shrugged.
"I have to admit, you were amazing downstairs acting all normal with him. He's sat there now completely confused, wondering why you didn't go mental at him when you came back."
"I wanted to, believe me. But i just couldn't. I don't know what it is. Everytime he annoys me i'll build this rage up inside me and when i want to explode i just can't."
looked at me, knowingly.
"What's that look for ?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe you can't stay mad at because you love him ?"
"Well of course i love him. I love all of you."
"You know what i meant ."
I sighed and looked down, noticing my thumbs nervously twiddling together.
"Recently i have begun to wonder if maybe my feelings for are slightly stronger than 'Just Friends'. "
"And what do you plan on doing about this ?"
"I was thinking about doing nothing." I half smiled at him.
He took my hands and lowered his head so we had full eye contact.
"You know you have to do something about it ."
I sighed.
"Knew i should of had this conversation with ."
laughed and pulled me into a tight embrace, kissing the top of my head before resting his chin on it.
"You know you dont mean that. I'm your favourite really. And by the way, thank you for sticking up for me earlier."
My hand raised to my mouth as i tried to muffle my loud giggling.
"Geez, what am i going to do with you eh ?"
"Well it's your fault."
"I think not."
"I think yes."
" , just shut up. Not again, how many times ? You can't fit your fist in your mouth !" I began to giggle again at his rubbish attempts.
"Now you try and lick your elbow."
"You know that's physically impossible !" I complained
"Says who ?"
"Ummm, me."
"Oh, and i suppose just your one opinion counts does it ?" He asked, raising one eyebrow.
"I think you'll find that is fact. And of course, for i am the greatest person alive." I joked.
He laughed, and then yawned.
"I'm off to bed babee. No doubt we'll be back here again at silly o'clock in the morning tomorrow though." He laughed as he pulled me up off the sofa.
"Night ."
"Night , love you."
I woke up with a smile on my face.
Skipping into the living room, i found myself humming loudly.
"Ha, what's with the face ? It's not your birthday is it ?" asked, noticing my good mood immediately.
"No. Aren't i allowed to be happy every once in a while ?"
"I'm afraid not, no. Not under my roof anyway."
" , you're a twat."
His face dropped.
"I love you."
That was enough to turn his frown upside down :)
Of course i knew the reason for this sudden burst of happiness though.
of course.
We'd made up and now we were back to being best friends.
Every night we'd stay up just talking complete shit for hours on end.
It was as if nothing had ever happened between us, and i felt like we were the closest that we had ever been before.
"Could you actually eat that any quicker ?" I quizzed as he scoffed his sandwhich down quickly.
"I could try. Sorry. I'm just late." He apologised.
"Have you got a pregnancy test yet coz that might be why you're late you know ?" joked.
"Oh, haha . Very funny." replied sarcastically.
"What are you late for ?" I smiled at him.
He didn't even look up from his plate.
"Oh, just going to meet someone." He shrugged, shoving the remains of the sandwhich into his mouth whole before picking up his jacket off the back of the chair and walking out the door.
My eyes drooped with every second that ticked on the clock.
3:30.
I wearily hauled myself up and flopped onto my bed, falling into a deep sleep instantly.
"Get fucked ." I giggled the next morning as i heard a soft tapping at the bathroom door.
"I can't believe you're actually letting me win. What's happened to your comebacks ? And where has all your complaining dissappeared to ?" I smiled whilst opening the door.
"Oh, hello." A confident voice spoke back.
A confident female voice spoke back.
"H..Hello." I stuttered, confused as to who she was and what she was doing in the flat.
"Sorry, i'm just really desperate." She pulled a face.
Numbly i moved myself out of her way and allowed her to walk past me.
I walked down the stairs in a daze and sat down at the breakfast table.
"Morning." 's broad smile broke me away from the daze.
"Morning." My voice came out as little more than a whisper.
"Heyaa. Sorry about earlier, i never got to introduce myself properly. I'm ."
" ." Once again my voice could hardly be heard.
"You'll get on so well with , i promise. She's such a laugh, and a great mate."
Shivers ran down my back as his words ran over and over again in my mind.
I was just a mate.
Being forced to sit in front of them and gawp whilst they explored each others mouth was not something i wanted to do, so without saying anything i quietly left them to it.
I spent the next few days trying to avoid and .
I'd stay in my bedroom until they went out or i'd go shopping or to a mates house if i knew that the lovebirds were planning on staying in the flat all day.
"Knock knock." A female voice said from behind my door.
I looked up at my bedroom door and smiled as peered down at me.
"You're coming out tonight."
"No i'm not."
" please. You haven't been out with us properly for ages. We've hardly spoken to you at all the last few days, and you spending all your time cooped up in this room is not good for you." She insisted.
"I can't . Not with and there. I can't take it."
I received a sympathetic glance from her, before she pulled me up off my bed.
"I'm sorry, but your excuses aren't quite good enough. You; Downstairs. 10 minutes. Don't make me drag you out of here young lady."
I laughed before pushing her out of my bedroom.
"I knew this was a bad idea." I sighed, burying my face in my hands.
"You've got me for the night." soothed, placing a hand on my thigh.
"And you're not going to find a bird of your own like you did last time ?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. As if i would ever do that !" He grinned at me.
I smiled, taking his hand and squeezing it gratefully.
"Tut Tut. and again. I thought we established last time this arrangement only benefits me as i'm always the one that gets to go home with ." winked at me.
I didn't know how to react.
I looked up at who put his arm around me supportively.
"I'm sure there won't be a repeat of that this time. Remember, you're going home with tonight." smiled at .
nodded his head and seemed to slip off into his own world for a few seconds.
The smile grew on his face until he suddenly snapped out of it and looked me straight in the eye.
"I best go and get the lady a drink." He mumbled, before walking over to the bar.
The tears slipped from my eyes, beyond my control, and tiny sobs escaped my mouth.
Why did he have to rub it in my face like this ?
I turned over in bed, placing the pillow over my ears in a desperate attempt to drown out the moans.
I knew that i couldn't take anymore of this.
I had to do something.
"There has to be another way ." pleaded the next morning.
" , please don't do this to me. You have no idea how difficult it's going to be, being away from you. You're my best friend, and you've got me through all of this so far. But you have to understand how difficult this is for me. To see him kiss her, to hear them in the bedroom, to miss out on all their little inside jokes. And we're not the same. He spends all of his time with her, i haven't even spent five minutes with him without him having to rush off to see her, or her coming round here. I miss the late night talks, i miss making him laugh, i miss him being there for me. Imagine if it was with another guy and then you'll understand."
"I'm sorry, i'm being selfish. But it's not going to be the same without you here. Who else is going to look after us ? Who will cook and clean whilst we're out ? Who's going to stick up for me when those three gang up on me ?" joked, but i saw the tears well up in his eyes.
I laughed at him, wiping away a stray tear with my thumb.
"Don't take any of their shit . Or i'll be straight on the phone, sorting them out."
"I'm sure and would enjoy that a bit too much though."
I laughed again, not bothering to stop the tears.
He pulled me into a hug, clinging tightly, clearly not wanting to let me go.
"Keep in contact. You have my mum's number."
"That i do. I've got an excuse to speak to that milf now." He winked.
I punched his arm and giggled.
The reality of leaving my home, and leaving the boys was tearing at my heart, just as much as was.
"When is she coming back ?" whined as told him and the news.
"I'm not sure. I don't even know if she is going to come back ." sighed, taking a seat.
"Fucking . Him and are so perfect for each other, and he doesn't even realise it. And she is gorgeous, i mean really fucking incredible. Any other guy would think he's the luckiest guy in the world, but not . He's too stupid to even realise she's crazy about him. And now she's gone to stay with her mum so we can't perv anymore when she comes down in the morning in her underwear and vest top." smirked.
laughed as and 's eyes glazed over, clearly they were picturing in the morning.
walked through the door, interrupting and 's thoughts.
He laughed.
"Pffft. Why are you all sat in here doing fuck all ? How boring."
"We were just discussing the fact that has moved out." replied sharply.
"What, why ?" asked confused, taking a seat next to on the sofa.
"Because she lik..."
"Because she like, misses her mum." interrupted , stopping him from spilling 's secret.
"Oh, so she's coming back then ?"
"We don't know." answered, giving a look.
It had been a few weeks since I had gone to stay with my mum, and after numerous pleading phone calls telling me to come back to the guys, i agreed to come and visit them whilst was out for the day with .
" 'S HERE. 'S HERE. 'S HERE." squeled excitedly as he noticed my car pull up outside.
He opened the door and ran up to me, surrounding me in his arms, pushing me backwards against my car fiercely.
"Did you miss me ?" I giggled.
He nodded enthusiastically.
I grinned, taking his hand and walking inside.
Once inside, i got bundled to the floor by and .
"Geez, it's only been two weeks guys." I laughed as pulled me up off the floor moments later.
"That's two weeks too long." He replied, pulling me down onto the sofa next to him.
"Oh be quiet, i'm sure you haven't even noticed i'm gone. At least this place is still standing though !" I smiled at them as all three of them kept their eyes on me intently.
"It's only just standing. had a bit of an 'accident' the other day whilst trying to cook." scoffed.
"And don't even get us started on her 'attempts' at cooking. She will never meet your standards." continued.
"Oh i see. So you only miss me and my cooking ability." I joked.
"Of course not. We missed you in your underwear too." replied with a wink.
I chuckled.
"I've missed this."
"Me too." They all said together.
"When are you coming back ?" suddenly changed the subject.
I looked at him as guilt washed over me.
"I don't know. I just can't be around him. But i can visit you whenever he's out."
I don't think my attempts to lift the morale worked.
I left about four hours later as alerted me that would probably be coming home soon with .
"I'm back guys." shouted as he arrived home.
"Heeey." smiled at as he entered the living room.
"No ?" questioned, raising his eyebrow.
blushed slightly and began to scratch the back of his head.
" Ummm, no, not tonight."
"Oooo, lovers tiff." grinned, wanting to know the full details.
"Something like that." managed, intent on not saying anything more on the matter.
, and all shared sly smirks with each other which went un-noticed by .
"So what did you lot do today then ?" asked, changing the subject swiftly.
" came round." replied, as the other two seemed to have lost their albility to speak.
"Ahhh, what. Nice of her to stick around for me." He said, sounding quite bitter.
"Well she had been here four hours." said immediately.
"Well whatever. I just feel like she's been avoiding me recently."
"She's been the same with us ." finally regained his voice.
"Yeaaah but even when she was still living here she was distant with me. Like i'd done something wrong. She needs to get over whatever the fuck is making her act like this coz quite frankly i can't stand her like this." stated calmly, before walking up into his bedroom.
sat there, red in the face with rage.
needed to be put straight.
"Oh . Sorry mate but i'm not feeling too great after the argument with . Would you mind just leaving me for a bit ?"
"You are such a fucking idiot ." shouted, ignoring 's request to leave him alone.
looked at him confused.
"What ?"
"Are you really that fucking stupid that you can't work it out for yourself. Do i have to spell it out for you ?"
"Spell what out ? What are you talking about ?"
"All of this is because of you. 's gone to her mum's because she can't stand to be around you anymore. She's been distant with you because you can't make the time of day for her. Why should she be normal with you when you've been a complete prick to her ? You can't expect her to be fine with you when you're too busy to spend time with her, when the only one you care about is that stupid girlfriend of yours. She can't get over 'whatever the fuck is making her act like this' because it's you. And you're not about to change are you, so why should she ? How dare you say you 'can't stand her like this' when you are the reason she's being like this." relieved his anger full pelt in 's face.
sat down on his bed, trying to take in everything that had just told him.
"She ... She likes me ?" Was all he could stutter.
"Well fucking done genious." sarcastically replied.
"Why didn't she tell me ?"
"You didn't have any time for her. You were always busy with ."
sighed, and then looked at , a questioning glance on his face.
"What ?"
"Can i borrow your car ?"
"The keys are downstairs on the coffee table."
"Cheers mate."
" ?"
"Yeah ?"
"Don't fuck it up !"
" . There's a car outside, is it one of your boys ?" I heard my mum shouting up the stairs to me.
"Yeaaah, that's . Tell him to come up here when he knocks." I shouted back.
"Hello ?"
I stood up immediately as i recognised the voice.
" , what are you doing here ?"
"I needed to speak to you."
"You could have rang." I shrugged.
"I know ."
"Well if you know that then why didn't you ring me ?"
"No, i meant i know that you like me."
"You ... What ... Haha. Don't be silly." I blushed furiously as i lied.
He placed both his hands on either side of my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb.
" told me." He said simply.
My heart began pounding.
I had him, so close to me we were almost touching, and yet i couldn't enjoy the moment like i wanted to.
I backed away, moving onto my bed.
"Please don't do this." I whispered.
"Do what ?"
"You're getting my hopes up. It's not fair . Don't act like that and get that close to me when you know exactly how i feel about you. I like you. And you don't feel the same way. I'll get over it. But you're just hurting me more now and making it even more difficult."
"Why did you never tell me how you felt before ?" He asked, gently placing himself on the end of my bed.
"I didn't realise until it was too late. Not until that argument we had about . And then after that you got with . It wasn't my place to tell you then, it wouldn't have been fair on , you or me. I'm not that kind of girl."
"I have never wanted anyone as much as i do right now. You're so perfect. Why did i not see it before ?"
I began to cry silent tears.
" , please don't."
"I'm not getting your hopes up . I genuinely mean it. Of course i mean it. Look at you. You're all i could ever ask for; Thoughtful, Kind, Funny, Easy To Get Along With and not to mention Absolutely Beautiful. I've always thought that. Ask the guys, they'll back me up on that one. Give me a chance ?" He asked, edging his way up closer to me on the bed.
"I can't. You have a girlfriend."
"I have an ex girlfiend, i think you'll find."
I looked at him confused.
"We had an argument earlier, and i ended it."
I sighed, relieved.
"Now what does a guy have to do to get a kiss around here ?" grinned at me.
I beamed back at him, a proper full smile, unable to contain my happiness.
I closed my eyes as i leaned fowards slightly, our lips finally touching.
" ?"
"Hmmm ?" I replied, as i worked on pulling his top off.
"Do me a favour and move back in. The place is falling apart without you."
I smiled in agreement before turning my attention back onto him ;)
