You'd Come Over, Right? [BRIGHTWIN]

chapter 5

"I'm sorry" Bright said as I gave him the coffee, "I shouldn't have talked to you like that last night."

"It's fine" I said, acting cool as if I hadn't bawled my eyes out in surprise.

"I'm literally living on your mercy nowadays" he said, "I'm sorry I couldn't show properly how grateful I am."

Say it, my mind snapped, Its okay I  would have done it for any friend it's no big deal.

I pursed my lips and shrugged, "it's okay."

"Do you wanna watch a movie?"

I lifted my eyes in suprise and he made an o from his mouth.

"Oh right you have to work."

"I don't" I said after a pause, "they gave me an off because I worked on weekend."

Bright nodded suspiciously and I couldn't blame him. May be, I was like an open book for him too. I excused and came out to the balcony, thinking of a proper excuse to take a day off. I knew I was slowly sliding into madness but I didn't care. I had no time to contemplate whether this was life giving me a second chance or not. I wanted to grab this as my only chance ever to clear things out with Bright. The man I loved was in front of me. It would take a lot of stupidity to let him go again. And yes I was mad, but not stupid.

"What is this?" He said as I passed him an icecream.

I shrugged, "you like eating icecream while watching movies."

He bit his lips and plastered a smile before taking the plate in his hand. I shifted beside him in the sofa as we watched the batman series. This was heaven - sitting with Bright, watching his favourite movies and forgetting the world and everything that wasn't him or myself. His eyes were glued to the screen and mine kept flicking between tv and his face. I didn't want to make him uncomfortable but I also didn't want to miss the sight of his twinkling eyes and honey dipped giggles. Oh how much I had missed this man. I was dangerously playing with the fire by feeding dreams I barely knew I was allowed to see. What if he already had someone? What if he hated me now? Well, that wasn't supposed to be a question because I knew for a fact that he hated me now.

"All good?" He asked.

"Oh yeah totally" I said, low-key freaking out.

It was when I realised it had been three hours and I was still in the space when we watched our first movie as boyfriends back in his apartment.

"I'll go make us some lunch" I said and he nodded.

"Wait I'll help" he said and turned the tv off. I raised my eyebrows and he laughed.

"Come on I can be of good help."

I giggled, "thanks but I think I'll manage."

He rolled his eyes and followed me in the kitchen when we heard a knock on the door.

"Green?" I exclaimed as I saw him, sobbing softly at my gate.

He hugged me abruptly and I patted his back. God that asshole Dim...

"I'm so sorry Win I should have listened to you..wait who is this?"

He pointed out at Bright who was now looking at us from the table and frowning.

"Um..he's a friend" I said, unsure of how much Bright would have been comfortable sharing the truth with Green.

"Can we talk somewhere personal?" He asked and I nodded.

"Bright we'll go for a walk. Is that okay?"

He looked up and sighed heavily before grabbing his jacket from the sofa.
