James Maslow Imagines (Clean Version)

Best Friend Confession

As you sat there near the pool you kept on thinking that this weekend had been amazing, here in this awesome hotel with your friends. Although unfortunately today was the last day and you didn’t want to go back home.

"Hey loner." You hear a voice behind you and as you turn around, there he was, James, your best friend. The guy who had you falling for him with every passing moment but all those feelings were kept inside of you. Quite frankly you weren’t sure if you could bring it out. You couldn’t 

"what are u doing here alone?" he asks.

"nothing, just thinking about our stay here and just enjoying the few last hours we have till we leave… Hey, everyone was heading out to play bowling, weren’t you going?"

"yeah I was but then I  got discouraged so I wanted to stay here. “May I?" he signals the seat next to you and you nod signaling that he could sit. "what about you? Weren’t you going?"

"nah, same thing that happened to you." you say as you shrug your shoulders.

"maybe it’s because you didn’t want to get beat by me..again."

You scoffed at his comment but chuckled as well as he laughed and his smile took you away.

"True but i’ve stepped up my game since the last time we played."

"well i’d have to see that then on another bowling outing."

"haha yeah I guess. You always make me laugh James." you blurt out without thinking but technically it was true.

He smiles. “you’re the one who makes me laugh with your geeky comments.” 

"ohh really? Yeah I admit it, i’m geeky." you chuckle and nudged yourself in the seat.

"so.. How’s everything going with your “boyfriend” Luke." he says seemingly annoyed.

"He’s not my boyfriend. I knew you were going to ask me something about that."

"what. Can’t your guy best friend ask you these things?"

"well what’s the problem if I am getting to know Luke and he gets to be my boyfriend?"

"no, no problem. I just wanna know."

"well you don’t have to know anything cause we’re not talking anymore."

"ohh. Why?" he seems to want to touch your hand but stops himself.

"just wasn’t the guy for me." 

Your mind at that point was reeling. Should you say something to him? Or just forget it and keep your mouth shut. Inside you, the truth wanted to be spoken.

"and.. I.."

"you what?" he asks concerned.

"well the truth is that I like.. Someone else."

"really. What’s his name? Do I know him?"

You chuckle at his reaction, when you would mention a guy he always said the same thing. “dude.. Yeah you know him pretty well.. I guess.”

He then looks like to be thinking trying to think about who it was.

"but I doubt that he thinks the same way about me."

"you’re a great girl (y/n), He would be crazy not to like you. Who is he?"

"he’s… Sitting infront of me right now."

There’s this silence that for you seemed eternal but it was only a few seconds.

"really?" he says in shock.

"and I know that we’re best friends & that it’s’ probably weird but I can’t help myself." 

He doesn’t say anything which was freaking you out but in that moment he gets up from his seat and sat next to you in the same seat you were. He intertwines his hand with yours without saying anything. He smiles and he strokes your cheek and kisses it after. But then what you didn’t expect happened. He leaned forward to kiss you & as his kiss deepened you knew that this felt right. Your fear or anxiousness about the whole thing washed away in that instant. 

When you pulled apart you leaned your head on his shoulder just like you always did occasionally and he whispers in your ear. “I’m glad you feel this way cause I do like you, for a long time I have.”
