Slow Motion

•Cheesy smiles•

After the strange thing that had just happened we both went back to the living room. We drank our milkshakes in silence, but each of us had finished our drinks and were now staring at the black tv screen.

"I know you might not want to talk about it but why did you do what you did after just breaking up with your girlfriend" I ask looking over at him. He thinks for a moment then speaks.

"I'm not really sure but I think I've liked you for a while because every time we would touch hands or do something together I got all weird inside. Not like the gross weird though like the butterfly fly stomach weird. I thought it was just in a friend way but the more I got to know you the more I began to like you as more than that" He explains. He then takes a breath and starts taking again

"Oh I just thought you needed to get your mind off of her" I mumble looking down now embarrassed.

"No no no I wouldn't kiss someone if I didn't mean it. The only thing upsetting me is reason she broke up with me. In her words she had found someone new and I wanted to be sad or mad at her but I had done the same thing unknowingly, so I can't blame her for doing it. It's just don't understand why it still hurts a lot"

"It hurts because you were with her for a long time and you did truly love her at one point or another. that's when things really hurt even if it's something that was eventually going to happen" I explain knowing exactly what he was feeling.

"Yeah it's just feels disheartening to know that" he sighs fiddling with his hands. I grab them and he stops. I give him a empathetic smile and the go to put our cups in the sink. I could wash them later so I head back to the couch and sit right next to him.
"Your hair looks pretty by the way" he blurts giving me a slight grin.
"Thanks I like yours too" I giggle slaking my head. "What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know usually after I get broken up with I just sulk for like a week so..." he trails off looking the other way. "Well then I guess decide" I say. I think about what there is to do and finally a idea comes to mind.

"How about we listen to some music" I suggest. He takes a second to decide but he nods so I shuffle my music. The first song to come on makes us both give each other a look. It's iris by the goo goo dolls.

I stand up and pull him with me. I begin to dance and soon he follows my actions. We sway and spin around the room. At one point we accidentally crash into each other. "I'm sorry" we sat at the same time which causes both of us to laugh. He then pulls me into a hug. We move slowly back and forth teetering on our feet. It's comforting and I honestly don't want to let go but eventually the song ends and we part ways. The next song was more upbeat which was great because slow songs are harder to dance to in my opinion.

We continue to dance and bounce around for the next half hour but eventually we are both tired and hungry. I stop the music and ask him what he would like to eat.
"Mac and cheese, please" he says like a little kid.
"Okay" I laugh.

I grab the box and a pot. I fill the pot with water and then set it on one of the burners, turning it on so the water can boil. While we wait I paint his nails. The polish is a lilac color which looks great on him. By the time I have finished the first coat the water is boiling. I toss in the noodles and go back to painting his nails making sure to stir the noodles often while doing so.
When the final coat of nail polish is done I go back and strain the noodles. I then pour in milk and the cheese packet. It was done so I scooped some in bowls for each of us.
"Thanks" he says taking the bowl gladly.

We eat the tasty food and talk while doing so. 
"Did you really do that?" I ask not believing what he had just told me. "Yep I participated in the school talent show and I even got third place" he says proudly. "That's so cool, I was always to shy to do that" I admit looking toward my bowl of dairy. We continue to eat and chat until both of us have finished.

We put our bowls in the sink along with the other dishes. I was going to do them tomorrow. Then we go back to my couch. The place we had been for most of the day. I grab the remote and put on bones. I had seen this show a couple times through but I didn't know if Taylor had ever seen it.

We watch a couple episodes but it's now 9pm and we are both tired.
"I'm tired do you have a guest room?" He asks.

"Yeah it's the door on the right of the hallway" I say turning off the tv. I was going to go to bed too. I open my bedroom door to go to bed but a quiet voice stops me.
"Goodnight" he says peeping his head out the door.
"Goodnight" I say giving him a cheesy smile. I then close the door and climb into bed completely wiped from today...
