Don't Leave Me Lonely

chapter 14

Flynn's POV:

My heart still hadn't calmed down since whatever the hell just happened. She was so close to me. We were touching. I almost kissed her. She almost kissed me. I don't even know what happened but all I knew was that I had fallen. So far and so deep I don't know if I'll ever be able to make it out of the abyss I had fallen into. The abyss that was her. My Giselle. Does an almost kiss make her my girlfriend? I've never been in anything close to a relationship, so I wasn't sure how this worked.

All I knew was, my heart feels full and I couldn't keep the grin off of my face if I tried. I immediately began to fill in some more details I had missed on her drawing. When she looked at me, I noticed so much more than I had from a distance. I worked well into the night and by the time it was a good time to go to sleep, I stayed up thinking about her. When I finally fell into unconsciousness, it was her that occupied my dreams and kept a sated smile on my sleeping face.

When I awoke the next morning, I almost thought yesterday was a dream. But alas, it wasn't and my constant smile and flushed cheeks were a reminder that what had happened was real. She was real. I got up and did my morning routine for school, feeling like I was on cloud 9. As I dressed, I considered what Giselle might like on me. I never wore bright colors, but I noticed that she liked them. So for today's shirt, I chose a bright green. One that I felt perfectly encapsulated the color of her eyes.

I went down to breakfast and my sister was immediately by my side with a look that said "Tell me everything now before I cut your throat with the closest sharp object." "Explain. Now." Cass says this sentence in a low and threatening voice that honestly scared me a tiny bit. "I don't even know what happened. It was just one moment she was across the room and the next we were face to face. I promise I didn't have intentions of stealing your friend from you." I said all of this in a rush, my brain reliving what happened in my room yesterday. "Flynn, I'm not mad about whatever happened between you and Elle. I think you guys would be great together. And I'm going to make sure it happens." Cass says all of this with mischief in her eyes, and I knew at that point that I was in for the ride of my life.
