Never in a Million Years ✔️

56- Always been you

I hear a familiar tapping on my balcony window. I haven't been able to sleep and I guess neither has he.

I debate not getting up and ignoring it, but despite everything telling me to do so, I get up and open the door.

"Hey" He smiles sadly down at me as we stand in the doorway.

"Hi" I respond, my voice just above a whisper

We just stood there staring at each other. Not moving. That is until he dips his head down slowly, to kiss me softly. This kiss wasn't nearly as intense as the one earlier yet it still made my stomach flip. Leaving one hand on my waist, his other one resting along my jaw, holding me close.

"Wait-w-we can't do this" I break the kiss leaning back against the door frame "We shouldn't be doing this"

You can you're just being a little bitch my inner conscious yells. She's not wrong.

"I know" he huffs annoyed

"Why'd you come up here?" I question

"What? I can't visit my favorite person at..." he says before glancing at his watch "one forty five in the morning?" he grins back at me, easing my racing heart

"I was bored, couldn't sleep and really wanted to fuckin kiss you again" he says as he enter my room. I close the door behind him before sitting beside him on my bed

"We can't do this Co" I say again

"We shouldn't " he corrects "different meanings. We very well could do it," he smirks at me and I just roll my eyes with a stupid grin on my face "but we shouldn't. I hate keeping shit from your brothers" he adds again, quietly

"We're just best friend Co"

"You know that's not true Belle" he says "Do friends feel electricity every time their hand touch? Do just friends cuddle and watch movies like we do every time I sneak up here? Do just friends almost kiss on multiple occasions, and then have a mini-make out session in their other best friends kitchen?"

"No"

"I know this isn't just friends Belle. And I think you do too"

"I do"

"You know how long I've wanted to do that?" He says after a few minutes of silence "Eighth grade"

"What?" I look up at him bewildered "five fuckin years Kazer?" I had a crush on him back then too but at the time accepted that he'd never like me and nothing would happen.

"I mean, I always thought you were cute, even when we were kids, but yeah, eighth grade I had the biggest crush on you" he laughs "I'd always hidden it cause of the guys. Then you left after sophomore year, I didn't see you and it was easier to ignore what I felt I guess, and then I saw you at that fuckin party and it was over for me"

"Well now I feel like an idiot" I huff "I had a crush on you in eighth grade but gave up on it after I convinced myself you'd never feel the same." I start to laugh and so does he

"Fuck we're really bad at this aren't we" He starts to laugh even more as he says this, and I can't help but snort.

After that, there was no stopping the laughter that erupted from both of us. When someone snorts, its game over.
