Spinning the bottle

Chapter twenty-two

So we waited until we were home. My parents weren't there yet so when we got into the living room Mia took her chance and kissed me like she hadn't in years. Not that you would hear me complaining or anything. I quite enjoyed it.

After our little make out session, we poured ourselves a drink and started to talk. It started with how things were going at school and with classes and it quickly went to me and Alex.

"Alex definitely has a crush on you Harp, I'm sure of it."

I guess it bothered Mia more than I realized.

"Babe, I don't think he does. And even if he does, I don't feel anything towards him and nothing will ever happen. But if you want me to create more distance between us, I would do that."

I was met with complete silence, which left me wondering what I did wrong.

"A-a-are you okay?" I asked.

Mia snapped out of whatever zone she was in and replied.

"Yes sorry, I was still stuck on the part that you called me babe."

My cheeks flushed red. I didn't realize this was the first time I called her babe. Before I could to ask if it made her uncomfortable, Mia said:

"I liked it, you should do that more often," she paused for a second, 'babe', she added with a wink.

I giggled, like the in love teenage girl I was.

"Anyways, back to what you were saying. I definitely believe you when you say nothing will ever happen between you and Alex. I trust you. So you don't have to distance yourself from him, but if he ever makes a move please just let me know. As long as we are honest about it then I am okay with it." Mia said.

I gave her a smile and said "That sounds like an amazing plan from my amazing girlfriend."

Mia adjusted herself so she was laying in my arms on the couch.

"Speaking of people at school, did you hear anything from Liam ever again?" she asked.

She has a good point, did I?

"No, I don't think so. Not after I told him I had feelings for you I think." I said.

Mia sat up straight right away.

"You did what?"

"Liam came to me when you and I weren't really on speaking terms. He asked if I would take him back, but I told him I had feelings for you. And I didn't want him back anyways, because he is an ass."

I didn't expect Mia to be upset about this, but she was.

"Why did you never tell me this? Isn't it a bit risky that he knows how you feel?"

"I never told you because, as I said, we weren't talking to each other at that point and when we finally were I didn't think it was that relevant. And I don't think it's risky because I didn't tell him about your feelings, because I didn't even know what those were back then. Babe, it's been in the past. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, maybe I should have. Can we move on from this now?"

Mia smiled and said

"How could I ever say no to you when you keep calling me 'babe'. It's making me blush. Anyways, I got a bit freaked out but you're right. You never had to tell me because it's indeed not relevant and he wouldn't know about our relationship now. I just got a bit jealous because Liam was trying to steal my girl, that's all."

We both chuckled at her words.

"Your girl, huh?" I like the sound of that."

Mia leaned back into my arms again and I was about to give her a kiss when we heard the front door opening. But to our surprise, we didn't hear just my parents. When Mia saw her mom looking at us, she jumped up and acted like nothing had happened.

My mom looked apologetic to me and when I checked my phone, I saw I had three missed calls and a few missed texts. All saying:

"HARPER, NORA IS JOINING US SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT MAKING OUT ON THE COUCH WHEN WE GET HOME IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES."

I unfortunately forgot that my phone was on silent. I was not sure this would go well.
