I watched (Y/N) and Ernest from afar as they sat on a bench by the Thames River, talking and occasionally laughing. Honestly, I hated it. I had liked (Y/N) ever since she came in several months ago wanting help with finding a watch she dropped on the sidewalk whilst walking home. Despite it being solved easily (the book store she dropped it by took it in), Ernest, Sherl, and I still hung out with her and eventually became friends.
Of course, I wanted to be more than friends with her though. I didn't know why, but I just could not get my mind off her no matter how hard I tried. We did a lot of things together, like listening to music or playing games. Normal friend things.
By the way she and Ernest were talking to each other, I quickly came to the conclusion that we would only keep on doing friend things. Not only was she so interested in conversation with him, I didn't think that she would feel anything for me. After all, she was probably straight or taken, considering my luck.
I always thought of flirting or even just telling her how I felt, but I never could. Either the time wasn't right, or it didn't feel right, or the execution wasn't right. That, and the potential that if she rejects me, it'll ruin our friendship and we won't be able to be around each other anymore. Honestly, that would be a nightmare.
Right now was different, though. Her mother lived in America and was very ill, so she had to leave soon to take care of her. Right now felt different, because if it didn't work out, she wouldn't be around for a few weeks, which would leave me to have some time alone to think to myself. I'd also not have to see her for a while, which may sound bad, but could provide a potentially needed break from each other. Right now was the right time.
I walked up to Ernestand (Y/N) feeling my heart pound in my chest. I'm doing it. I'm telling her. Is this real life?
"Hey! Ern, do you mind if (Y/N) could talk alone for a bit? Before she leaves, of course." I asked, continuously looking at (Y/N). I'm sure she thinks I'm trying to interrupt. I'm sure she hates me right now.
"Oh, yeah! We were just talking about dogs." he said, standing up.
"Thank you so much!" I smiled, feeling my hands shake and my heart beat so fast that I wasn't sure if it would stay in my chest. I'm doing it. I'm telling (Y/N). I didn't think this through at all. What am I going to tell her? What might she say? What might s-
"So, what's up Kat? Anything special you wanna tell me?" she smiled, jokingly wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"Y-Yeah!" I stuttered, trying not to stare into her eyes. Her beautiful (E/C) eyes, full of color and joy.
I didn't know what to say. I felt stuck, sort of. I got here, now what? I felt my mouth go dry and blood rush to my cheeks. Now there's definitely no going back.
"Um, Earth to Kat? How you doin'?" she joked, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Oh sorry! I just..." I mumbled, staring at her.
Suddenly without even trying, I closed my eyes, leaned in, and softly kissed her. I felt her jump at first, but she never pulled away. We kissed for a few seconds until I pulled back to catch my breath. I looked at her, noting her red cheeks and wide eyes. What the hell did I just do?
"I'm sorry." I said, standing up only to be pulled back down onto the bench by her.
"Don't be sorry! I really liked that, actually. Kind of surprised me, but like a good surprised." She said, smiling at me. "Can we maybe do it again?"
"Yeah!" I said, before closing the gap between us once more.
