I stared at him from across the dinner table, his gorgeous ocean eyes glancing from his plate of food to Nash who he was engaging in a conversation with. Everything seemed to be in slow-motion as I watched him dangle his fork from his forefinger and thumb as he spoke, then continued to eat his dinner. His eyes met mine as his conversation finished, a small smile appearing on his lips as he looked down at his plate, his cheeks turning into a pink shade. I have known this boy for nearly four years and he is my best friend, yet, he can still do this to me. How can someone be so perfect looking? I didn't know how in love you could be until I met and got to know Hayes- there are now words to describe how much I love him.
I shook myself out of 'staring at Hayes' mode, my cheeks flaring up in embarrassment.
After we finished eating, I placed my dish and glass in the dishwasher, my attention then on the clinking sound of dishes being placed on a hard surface. I looked up to see Hayes stood there smirking, having placed his plate and glass on the side, looking at me as I loaded up the dishwasher. "Hey." He spoke, his angelic voice creating every word perfectly, one of the many things that made me attracted to him. "Hi." I replied shortly with a small smile, standing up to be met by his gaze holding mine. "So," he began. "Why did I catch you staring at me during dinner?" He questioned, putting his stuff into the dishwasher. "You had some food around your mouth." I lied, but made it obvious I was doing so. He had always been able to readme like an open book anyway, so lying made things funnier.
"As if that's there truth." he said with a chuckle, looking up at me and pressing 'start wash' on the machine. 'Now, y/n, what was the real reason?" "Fine, you had a spider crawling in your hair.. A gigantic one. It looked so deadly it could've killed you just by respirating." I sassed, a small smirk playing on my lips. He shook his head as Nash walked into the kitchen. "We all know that the real reason is the you are hopelessly in love with me." Hayes said plainly, trying to act cool, though we both knew he wanted to smirk and be sassy. "Of course it is, Hayes." I giggled, trying to hide the fact that I was in love with him right here, and right now, that it wasn't sarcasm on his part, that it was true- I am in love with him.
Later on that night when I returned home after being at Hayes' house, I was folding my clean and dry laundry ready to put away wen a small knock at my door distracted me. I answered the door to be greeted by Hayes.
"Hey Hayes." I beamed, putting down the yellow t-shirt I was currently folding. My friend was currently over and keeping me company, and was laying on my bed, watching Spongebob Squarepants for some reason, but then again, why not? She raised her eyebrows at me when she saw him coming in, knowing farewell that I am pretty much not only obsessed with him, but completely head over heels in love with him.
"Hey... I need to talk to you." He said, rubbing his hands together nervously. "yeah, sure." I smiled, looking over at my friend before opening the door to my favourite place; my balcony. "So," he began, dragging out the word dramatically. The sun was setting, creating a beautiful 'golden hour', the sweet and fragrant and divine smell of the blossom climbing the trellis on the wall surrounding the balcony filling my nostrils, making a beautiful romantic scene for us both- or maybe just for me.
"I've noticed that you look at me..." He started, the final word lingering as he tried to think of how to describe 'the way I look at him'. "Like you're the universe and I'm NASA?" I finished with a nervous snicker, looking at him. "I guess. That's sweet." He chuckled. I looked down at my hands which were resting on the balcony's bar which surrounded it, looking at the sunset in hopes of finding something to say. "Y/n, I wanted to know if you'd like to maybe watch the stars with me tonight? Maybe y/f/n (your friend's name) would like to join us?" He suggested, my heart fluttering at this. "That sounds amazing, I'd love to. I'm sure y/f/n would love it too." I beamed, kissing his cheek, with that, he left with a smile, closing the door to the balcony behind him.
Later on at around 8 o'clock, at the park to watch the stars. Y/f/n and I carried a blanket for each of us, a flashlight, a lamp, some pop along with some red cups tucked under our arms; carrying as much as we possibly could!
We saw Hayes standing beside a huge and expensive looking telescope, smiling at us.
"Hey!" He smiled, y/f/n and I returning the same expression. "That looks awesome!" y/f/n squealed, running to the telescope and dumping the astrology book of minion the floor which I dint know she bought for me. "This yours?" Hayes teased, handing the book to me. "yeah." I giggled, flicking through the pages I had read a thousand times. The entire book was just about the stars and galaxies- what they are made of and facts about them, as well as some consolations and the names of them. This was the book he got for me three years ago, two months after we first met. he knew I had a fascination with the stars, and he also knew of my wish to have my first date casual- watching the stars.
After just two hours, everything was perfect. It was the three of us, myself laying in the middle of Hayes and y/f/n, laughing to the point of crying about random things, watching the stars slowly appear as the smog of the city cleared, and the night drew in more and more. My hands laid beside me, for me to then feel Ethan's hand land on mine hesitantly. I smiled to myself as I continued to look upward, his thumb ran over my knuckles. this was the moment. this was the moment in my life where I realised that he is the one. my best friend knows I like him so incredibly much more than a friend, and now he is showing that... maybe, just maybe, he loves me back. to prove this point to me, the universe displayed something I had only ever seen twice in all of my life, making this even more magical- a shooting star. but for the first time, there was nothing more I could wish for.
