It was finally time for the three to go to bed after a long day of hanging out. One in their bed and the other two on the floor with lots of blankets and pillows.
One girl laid on the floor restless staring at the ceiling. They normally slept with white noise and had way too many thoughts running through their mind. She sat up and glanced at the other two. The other girl on the floor next to her sound asleep. While the one in bed turned in her bed and also sat up when noticing the other. The girl crawled into bed with the other and placed her hand out to feel for the other only to almost poke her eye out. Then finally laying back down. Whispering sorry since their eyes have yet to adjust to the dark. They laid facing each other whispering about random things. Both slightly tired but not wanting to admit it and wanted to keep talking. Talking and talking, careful not to wake the other. Not wanting the night to end and the morning to begin.
Then there was silence. A comfortable silence that didn't need sound. Their eyes were adjusted to the dark as they could just slightly make out each other's facial features. Enough that they could tell if they were smiling or frowning. If they're eyes were open or not. They looked at each other, just thinking. Perhaps overthinking. As one girl reached out and brushed the others hair behind her ear. Her hair was short enough for it to be a breeze while the others hair was much too long for it.
"You can fall asleep... it's okay. You don't have to stay up for me."
"What kind of host would I be then?"
"An asleep host."
"Hmm.."
Always with the witty comments as the other girl was a bit sleep drunk to react to it. They stared at each other again, waiting for the other to either speak or move.
As the overthinking became too much for the girl to bare she leaned forward and placed her lips on the others. And to her surprise the girl returned the kiss. It was wrong but it felt right at the moment. The tension that they built for so long was finally broken in that very moment. It felt like a dream. They didn't want the night to end or to wake up. Till finally the one that started the kiss broke it.
She laughed a bit to herself before whispering, "I enjoyed that too much. For once I wasn't met with stubble or hair. Just soft lips and a sweet taste."
It was bitter sweet, the kiss. They both were dating others but they wanted each other. They cuddled after they spoke a bit more. Random things that came to mind. The host succumbed to their tired eyes and fell asleep first as they always did. Just to be sure they were asleep, the girl whispered her name a few times before crawling out of her embrace. Placing a kiss on her cheek, and fixing the covers she moved back to the floor.
With a smile the girl closed her eyes and dreamed about the kiss.
