"Shawn!" I squealed as I jumped onto my best friend once I opened the door.

"Whoa! Hey y/n!" He laughed, hugging me tightly.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

I jumped off from his arms and let him in. I closed the door from behind us and watched him look around as if to see if anything has changed. He jumped over the back of the couch and laid down. I laughed and sat down near his head. I reached over and pinched his cheeks before ruffling his hair.

"Not the hair!" He said trying to fix it with his fingers.

"Sorry but I missed my best friend." I said pouting at him.

I saw his smile falter for a bit. His eyes were filled with an emotion I could not read before he looked away and stared at the television which was off at the moment. I was about to ask him what was wrong but he stood up and turned to me.

"Can we please watch a movie?" He asked, pointing to the flat screen.

"Uh, sure. You pick the movie and I'm gonna go get us some snacks." I said standing up and walking towards the kitchen.

"Aye, aye captain!"

I laughed at his dorkiness (if that's even a word 😂) and went to get some popcorn from the cabinet. I grabbed two huge glass bowls, a bag of sour cream flavored Lays, and a bag of cheese and jalapeño flavored Cheetos. Once I put the popcorn in the microwave, I filled one bowl a mix of the chips and got cans of Coke from the refrigerator. The microwave beeped, signaling that it was finished so I placed it in the other bowl and walked into the living room with the food. I looked up and saw that Shawn was talking to someone through the phone at the patio. Not to be weird or anything but I couldn't help but hear his voice through the glass door.

"I know, Cam. I know. We're just friends." He said, sounding really annoyed. "But I really like her. I don't want to ruin whatever's happening between us just because of my petty feelings."

Who is he talking about? Does he like someone else without telling me? I mean, I hate to confess this but I really, really, really like him. I like him so much it might even be love. I know I quoted Penny Porter and Noah Flynn from Zoe Sugg's Girl Online but it's true. I'm in love with my best friend who has been with me ever since I was a child. But the pang in my chest... I'm not sure if it's out of jealousy or because I feel betrayed that he didn't even tell me about it.

"Okay, Cameron. Thanks. I will, I will. 'Kay. Bye." I heard him say.

I placed the bowls on the coffee table and ran to the kitchen to get the drinks. I walked back out. pretending like I didn't hear anything he said. I placed the drinks on the table and jumped onto the couch, patting the space beside me.

"Sorry I wasn't able to help out in preparing for the food. I was on the phone with Cameron."He said sitting beside me.

"Dallas?" I asked curiously since Cameron's like a brother figure to me.

"Yeah."

"No problem. So... What are gonna watch?"

"Do you really wanna know?" He asked, smirking at me.

"Yeah, duh. I wouldn't ask you if I didn't."

"We're gonna watch Scream, if that's okay with you."

"Wow. I'm so scared." I said sarcastically.

Who the fuck does he think I am? I absolutely LOVE horror movies. How can he not know that? Oh wait... I never watch horror movies around him since I end up laughing really, really hard. And really? Scream? I've watched that way too many times before. Wes Craven, may you rest in peace.

He started the film and placed his arm around my shoulder casually. My instinct made me lean into him as the movie started. Casey was talking to Ghostface on the phone and I recited their lines in my head. I was practically on the edge of my seat but when my favorite part came, I couldn't resist it.

"No, you listen you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I'll gut you like a fish. You understand?" I said together with the television.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute!" Shawn said pausing the movie.

"But it's just getting to the best part!" I whined.

"Have you watched this movie before?

"About a thousand times, yes. Why?"

"Then what's the point of watching this?"

"Because I love it?"

He pouted and stared at me as if I betrayed him. I could help it so I grabbed his bottom lip between my fingers and pulled at it to make him stop staring at me like that. It didn't work. It only made him glare at me. I sighed and poked his cheeks. Still nothing. I tried everything from playing with his face- by this I mean trying to make him do different faces while using my hands to form them- to messing with his hair and still, nothing.

"Shawnee! Stop looking at me like that!" I said pouting back at him.

I saw him smile a little so I started giving him the puppy eyes. Before I knew it, I felt two hands cup my cheeks and pull me forward. His pink, soft lips felt warm against mine as I felt sparks fly with every movement he does. Of course I kissed back. I'd be stupid not to. I wrapped my arms around his neck and legs around his waist as he pulled me closer towards him. His arms moved from my face to my lower back.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He whispered, laying his forehead against mine as we pulled away.

"Me too." I said, looking into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Y/n, I've liked you for a really long time now. I wanted to tell you how I felt but I couldn't. Whenever you called me your best friend, it hurt because I wanted to be more than that. Cameron even had to push me into confessing."

"What if I told you I like you too? Are we still friends or are we more?"

"More. I definitely want us to be more."

I smiled and pulled him in for another kiss. With that, we completely forgot about the movie and I just enjoyed the company of my boyfriend. God, I'll never get tired of the sound of that.

A/N: so, here you guys go! First imagine of the book. I know it's crappy but I'll try to make a better one soon! I actually got inspired by the line "Never felt like this before, are we friends or are we more?" from One Direction's Change My Mind.
