Ideas are not so easy to come by recently and so updates might be a bit slow or might stop completely for a while so I ask that you bear with me for a bit.
I hope you all are enjoying the book though and are okay with the progress. I'd love to hear from you❤️
STAR'S POV
"This is stupid"
"No it's not"
"It is, I feel weird" she says and I turn to look at her
"Why? Isn't this nice?" I ask and she turns to me too
"It's weird"
"I think it's nice" I say, turning away and looking back up at the stars, enjoying the gentle swing of the hammock we both were laying in
"It's weird" she insists and I chuckle
"Well I like it. The evening air is so refreshing, is it not?" I ask
"I guess" she mumbles and I chuckle
"Don't be so grumpy. You lost at rock paper scissors and agreed to do whatever I wanted for the entire evening" I say proudly
"And you ask me not to be grumpy. Tell me the truth, you always pick rock paper scissors cause you know I'm not good at it right?" She asks and I laugh
"Didn't you say you were good at everything though?" I ask
"Shut up" she says and I turn my face to look at her and she does so too, probably feeling my gaze on her
"What? Want to gloat more?" She asks
"I will later" I say, my eyes on hers and she flicks my forehead
"And you call me mean"
"You are" I say rubbing my forehead
"You realize there is a second hammock right? Do we really have to share one?" She asks and I nod
"I want to be close to you like this" I tease, knowing it annoys her
"Go away" she says
"No. I won remember? So I get to decide if I go or stay and I am deciding to stay close" I say, making a show of moving into her arms
"You're annoying" she says even though she makes no effort to push me away or take her arm away from around me
"You said I was cute yesterday" I say, remembering the time when she was complaining about the movie
"I said you were acting cute, at that moment. You're annoying every other time" she says
"Logan?"
"What?"
"I want you to tell me I'm pretty and cute" I say, keeping my eyes on the beautiful sky above
"Excuse me?"
"Rock paper scissors victory remember? You're doing what I want all evening and I want you to tell me I'm pretty and say it sincerely" I say with a smug smile, turning slightly so I can face her and I'm a little taken aback by how close our faces are now
I forgot I moved into her arm.
Would it be weird if I shifted now?
She'd probably like that.
Fuck, her eyes are pretty.
"You don't find me pretty?" I ask quietly when she says nothing and merely stares at me, her eyes searching mine "Don't say it then"
"You are pretty" she says after a bit of silence and I can't say the softness and sincerity in her voice does not catch me off guard "You're really pretty" she says and I can't help but shiver slightly as her fingers trail my cheek gently before brushing my hair out of the way and pushing it behind my ear
Is that my heart beating that loudly?
"R..really?" I ask, barely able to find my voice as her eyes hold mine
"Yeah. You're really, really pretty" she answers with no hesitation "Gorgeous eyes too" she says
"Gorgeous eyes and beautiful lips" she says and I gulp subconsciously as her thumb trails over my lips, her eyes now on them.
Isn't this usually one of those situations where my thoughts run free?
Endless thinking?
Why is my brain blank right now?
And why am I not moving?
And why do I kind of want her to kiss me?
Am I insane?
"Are you nervous?" She asks and I blink at the sudden question
"Huh?"
"You're so still" she says with a smile that keeps me even more immobile
Fuck, why is that so entrancing?
"Didn't you want me to say all these? Call you pretty? Sincerely?" She asks "Why aren't you saying anything then?" She asks
"Um..."
"Do you want me to go on? Tell you what else I find pretty?" She asks, her lips curving into a small smirk as her fingers trail down to my collarbone and my heart damn near stopped
"I...I have to pee" I say the first thing that comes to mind, sitting up quickly and getting off the hammock as best as I can without making us both fall
"Thanks for staying outside with me and goodnight!" I say before hurrying inside, not wanting for a response though I doubt I would have gotten one
Okay, what the fuck is going on? It's my continuous thought as I run up the stairs and to my room, shutting the door before landing on the bed
Okay, Star. Pull yourself together first and calm down.
This is just her on a normal and you know that.
You've seen her with other women, she's a fucking flirt, a player if you will.
It's not strange that she'd do something like this, tease me like this cause she just loves getting a reaction out of me but what was it with me?
Why the sudden freeze?
And what was that? I wanted her to kiss me?
Has it been that long that now I'm considering her in such a way?
I really need to get my head straight.
She's off limits.
That should be set in stone.
I have other things to focus on than those amazing gorgeous eyes.
That crazily pink, plump li...
I'm insane, I'm insane!
I find her pretty and that's alright, there's nothing wrong with that.
I find her pretty and I want to be her friend and...
And... that's it.
That's all there is to it.
I can't help the loud exhale that leaves my lips as I shut my eyes
I should sleep.
