chapter 23. just best friends?

A/n: some bad language/maybe some mature scenes, idk

{ This is highly inspired by a story I read months ago, I can't remember the name but it's on my reading list 'platonic friendships/relationships' }

"How have you been lately baby?" Kayden asks his best friend, who has her head resting on his lap, with his hand playing with her hair. "Baby?" Molly asks raising her eyebrows, giggling a little, "Yeah, baby. 'Cause your my adorable best friend." Kayden says honestly, making Molly smile. "And you are my very cute best friend." Molly says back. There's a sudden knock at the door, "Yeah?" Molly questions staying in her position, it's her house they're at  so she's answering her bed room door knock. Finn comes in, "Hey so we're thinking of going out for lunch. You two coming?" He questions, "Yeah sure dad." Molly answers, but then adds, "Wait later this evening can we go out with the cousin and some friends from school?" she finishes questioning getting of the bed, feeling Kayden interlock their hands. "That's fine by me Molls, just make sure you ask their parents your aunt and uncle okay?" Finn says, "Okay dad." Molly replies.
~~~~❤️~~~~
Getting into his truck, Molly shuts the passenger door and Kayden gets into the driver's seat right after her. "Hey baby." He says as he sits down, "sticking with that nickname eh handsome best friend?" Molly asks, flirting as well. "I will if you call me handsome all the time." Kayden speaks, taking Molly's hands in his, brushing his thumbs over her knuckles. Silence layed over them, Molly noticing Kayden's eyes flickering from her eyes to lips, Molly's eyes doing the same. When their lips are centimetres from touching for the first time, the back doors open and close. Kayden and Molly quickly separate, "Do you ever knock?" Kayden asks frustratedly to his friends. Taylor and Andrew from their school. With their cousins, Ashely and Adam. "If you guys just wanna kiss then just date already." Andrew says. Kayden and Molly turn halfway to give their friends a glare, "Guys, we don't like each other that way." Molly says, but then everyone bursting into laughter after because they all know she's lying. Kayden starts the truck, a minute after the journey the beach started, Kayden takes one of his hands of the wheel and gently places it on Molly's thigh. Molly quickly noticed and holds the boy's hand in both of her's.
~~~~❤️~~~~
20 minutes after they arrived at the beach, Molly is sat on Kayden's lap, one arm around his neck, and a hand in his hair. She turns her head slightly to the dark brown haired boy, "Hey, can I show you something?" Molly questions, Kayden kisses her temple and answers with, "Of course." They stand up and interlock hands and walk of in the distance of the beach. When Molly stops and looks out to the sea, Kayden wraps his arms around his best friend's waist from behind, "What did you want to show me baby?" He asks, Molly giggle, turning around placing her hands around his neck. Kayden's hands going on Molly waist. "Well very cute best friend, I wanted to show you the star my dad named after my twin sister. I know I tell this to you a lot but I miss her." Molly says honestly, looking down. "Hey -" Kayden says softly, gently getting his index finger to lift Molly's head so he can look into her eyes. "- i know it's a sad story but I like it when you talk to me about it because I'm always here. And plus, you smile when you tell it and I can't think of anyone else who has a cuter or more beautiful smile then you do." Molly smiles wide and blushes at her best friend's compliment. Once again, silence covers them, and a second later, they have no idea who started it but their kissing. As soon as Kayden moves his hands to Molly's hair and he depends the kiss, they pull back slowly, Molly's eyes then suddenly widen. "Molls?" Kayden questions worriedly, "This was bad, very, very bad." Molly mutters, "What?" Kayden questions, "Kayden, we're not in a relation ship." Molly's reminds him, "So? Molly it's not like we cheated on someone." Kayden tries to reason, "I know but -" "But what?" Kayden interrupts his best friend, taking her hands in his again. "Molly you have no idea how long I've been wanting to kiss you for." "What?" Molly questions with a questionable expression. "Molly, I like you. Like, I actually like you. When the others interrupted us earlier in the car I was mad but now that we kissed, I was right." Kayden confesses. "You were right about what?" Molly questions, the same questionable expression as earlier, "That your the only one I want to be around for the rest of my life. If you think what just happened isn't a good thing then we can just be best friends but I wanna be with you. So-" "Shut up." Molly interrupts, "What?" It's Kayden's turn to be confused, "You heard me, just, be quite for a minute." Molly tells him, then crashes her lips to Kayden's again, her smile growing when she feels his smile grow. After a few minutes, they break apart and look into each other's eyes. "I like you too Kayden. Like, actually like you. And to be honest, I've liked you since California." Kayden's eyes widen, "Since Cali? Molly we were 6! H-how did you know?" Kayden exclaimed. "When I would cry my self to sleep because you were still in California and not here?" Molly says in more of a question, laughing nervously tilting her head, making Kayden's face drop immediately and quilt coming on his face. "W-why didn't you say anything on those face times?" Kayden asks. "Because as you said we were 6, our parents were in charged of most shit back then. and plus, I had no idea what the feeling I was feeling was. But when your dad got that new job in Toronto, I was happy again so didn't mention it until well now." Molly answers truthfully. "Wait? You wasn't happy? Molly, why did you keep that from me?" Kayden asks in a concerned tone, "I didn't want to be a burden an-" Kayden interrupts his best friend by pecking her lips for a second. "You are never a burden to anyone. You hear me? I'm your best friend, I'm meant to be there for you." "Kayden please don't be mad that I kept this from you. I hate it when you get mad. Please."Molly interrupts begging. "I'm never mad at - wait when have you seen me mad?" Kayden asks. "I -" Molly starts but she gets interrupted by Adam, her cousin. "Molly! We have to go now!" the light brunet turns to Kayden scared, "Sleepover tonight so we can finish talking about this?" She asks, "Thought I was already sleeping over?" Kayden asks smirking, rising his eyebrows.
~~~~❤️~~~~
"Why's Kayden getting out of the car as well?" Adam asks his younger cousin. "Adam his sleeping over. You don't need to be protective of me all the time!" Molly exclaims angrily, interlocking her hand with Kayden's. Adam giving him a glare. "Adam stop being a butt head!" Ashely, Adam's younger sister exclaims laughing. "Why don't you guys go in and I stay back. I need to talk to Molly." Adam says seriously. "No you don't!" Molly exclaims, turning her body back to her cousin, her grip tightened as she squeezed Kayden's hand. "You do, I need to tell you something." Adam adds glaring at Kayden for the thousandth time. "Will you stop glaring at my best friend?!" Molly exclaims almost yelling. "Molly, it's okay. I'll be inside with Ashely okay?" Kayden suggests, kissing Molly's temple. "Okay." Molly breaths, kissing Kayden's cheek this time, letting it linger for a second. Once the front door shuts, Molly asks her cousin, "What did you want to tell me?" "Kayden-" "Nope." Molly interrupts. "Don't interrupt me!" Adam threatens, but his cousin scoffs and rolls her eyes. "What ever you want or 'need'." (Molly used air quieted on the word 'need') "to tell me about my best friend, I don't want to know. I'm not talking about him behind his back." "First of all, your not only, 'best friends' -" Adam mocks a voice, also mocking Molly's air quotes. "- Second of all, don't think for one second that we didn't see you guys kissing earlier. And third of all, he cheated on you." Adam explains. "First of all, Kayden and I kissing is none of your business. Second of all, I said I didn't want to talk about him behind his back. And third of all, I don't believe you. Kayden isn't those kind of guys." Molly fights back. "Well explain this. A few months ago I saw him kissing a girl who's about an inch taller then you up against the lockers." Adam whisper yells, his cousins eyes starting to water. "And now your crying because of you best friend for the second time. You don't deserve him Molly. He's an ass whole!" Adam says seriously. "He's my best friend. He isn't an ass whole! -" Molly screams through tears, some how not alarming the people in the house. " - And the reason I was crying all those years ago was because I freaking missed him so fucking much." Molly said, tears tracing down her cheeks, but then adds. "And if your right about him kissing another girl months ago, it wouldn't be called cheating Adam-" She stops to wipe her tears away. "Because we're only best friends. It's a platonic relationship we have but - but, I wish it could be more." Molly says out loud for the first time. "You what?" Adam asks, surprised to hear what his cousin just told him. "Yeah, I want it to be more. I want to be in a committed relationship with him, and you can't do anything about what I want anymore!" Molly yells.
