Endless Love

22

"I'm coming down the hall."

"I said I would come get her-"

Then I heard his phone cut off, like he hung up on me. He makes me wanna beat his ass, ring his neck sometimes, but then there's days where I just melt like a popsicle on the fourth of July whenever I'm near him. I hate that even after all this time he still makes me feel like that, why hasn't the feelings left?

I got up out of bed, and dragged myself to the door, I opened it and in Josh came holding Lily in his arms. She was asleep, so he went in the back and laid her down on her bed, and came out looking around.

"What you looking around for? And I said I would pick her up."

"Just looking to see if he was in here, that's why I came."

"Whatever Josh, he's not in here so knock yourself out." I said slamming the door and throwing myself down on the couch. I grabbed the TV remote and a blanket and got comfortable, didn't pay Josh no mind.

"He better not been."

"It's none of your business if he was, I'm not your girlfriend."

"Yup but that's never stopped me before, and you will be." He said finally finished looking around the whole loft. I put on the Frame channel and put it on mute, and of course the first two people I see on there is myself and Josh. I just turned the opposite way and put the covers over my face. "Move your legs Liyah."

"No, for what?"

"Move your legs I wanna sit next to you."

"Josh go sit on the other couch." I said, as I felt his hands grab my legs and lift them up so he could sit. Sometimes he's so fucking hard headed. I poked my head out the blanket and looked at him, and I started smiling thinking of all the fun we used to have until he looked back at me. I hid my face and sat up so my legs weren't on his lap anymore and shut the TV off.

"Why you move?"

"Cause I wanted too."

"Well I'm cold." He said as he lifted the covers and crawled his body through them, and before I knew it his head poked out on my end.

"You not that damn cold, move Josh."

"But I am." He said taking out one of his arms and attempted to take the hair tie out my hair. "Take that out."

"Why?"

"Cause," he said snatching it out before he could even give me a legit reason why. "I like messing it up." Then he rubbed his hand all in my hair messing it up and pulling strains in the wrong direction.

"You just love irritating me." I said cracking a smile and laughing. "You know how I know your not cold?"

"How?"

"Your legs over there aren't even in the blanket. You're too tall Josh, this blanket is like a shirt to you."

"Shut up, my legs is all good."

"Mhm, if you say so." I laughed and put my hand over his face. "Move big head."

"Nah," He said putting his arms around my body and laying his head on my chest. "I might fall asleep on you."

"No you not, I'm getting my ass in my bed soon and you gonna get to stepping."

"No I'm not, it's snowing too hard. I'm staying right here, and so are you."

"Says who? This my place Josh."

"Says me cause I know you not that heartless to kick me out in the freezing cold." He said looking up at me with a puppy face, sticking his lip out, and on the inside I was melting but at the same time I started laughing.

"Stop being adorable."

"I'm adorable now? When you first seen me I was every name in the book."

"You still are." I said laughing.

"You one of them hot head girls, will be so sweet one second and the next wanna beat my ass."

"Yup, you got it. Cause you test my damn nerves." I said moving my hair out my face and started running my fingers through his. "You let it get curly huh?"

"Yeah it grew, it's all perfect and shit."

"I know right." I said playing in his hair and then I didn't hear him talk anymore. It's like he fell asleep instantly, at least I knew how to knock his ass out. It didn't last long though, after a couple minutes his phone started ringing and he woke right up. He reached for his phone on the table and looked at it, I guess it was a text.

"Tell that bitch you texting I said wassup."

"Don't be like that Liyah, it's not even a girl. Look at you assuming."

"I don't give a fuck you probably lying anyways, move." He put his phone back on the table and looked at me.

"You wanna know what I said?"

"No, I know what I said though so please move." He kept looking at me and put a smirk on his face.

"You know you don't want me to move Liyah." He said and I shook my head and smiled.

"Yeah I do Josh stop playing games." I said taking my eyes off him and putting my hands over my face. He grabbed my hands and moved them off my face and laid his lips on the side of my neck, rubbing his hands up my legs gripping my thighs. "Don't start..." I said closing my eyes trying to focus and not become weak but I couldn't help it, he always did this on purpose.

"Maybe it's you that's playing games," He whispered as he rubbed his lips from the side of my neck to the middle and kissed it softly, rubbing his hands higher up my thighs. "You know you'd never win." He said kissing up my chin and stopped up at my lips and looked me in my eyes. I could feel my body getting hot and those same shivers from years ago sprang back up like mad. "Did you miss me as much as I've missed you?"

Without saying anything I grabbed his face and pressed his soft lips against mine and gave him a long, passionate kiss and didn't stop. But he stopped, smiled and let out a laugh. "So who's playing games again?"

"Shut up, you know what? It almost worked." I laughed and pushed his face away from mine. "Fuck you, you just teased me like it was that easy."

"Liyah it is easy, I still get you in the same place I always did." He smirked at me and laughed.

"Shut up." I said moving myself and getting up from the couch.

"Nah, where you going?"

"In my bed."

"In our bed?"

"No, I'm getting you back. I'm getting in my bed. Locking my door, and gonna do everything you wish you could."

"You wouldn't do that, you can't do everything I wish I could by yourself. I know you want me in there, just say the words." He said jumping from the couch and I ran off to my room and beat him to the door. With Josh, it was like an emotional roller coaster with hundreds of loops, and I couldn't deny any feelings I know I had for him, but at the moment were just atleast trying to be at a good spot, especially for Lily.
