The Quiet Girl

-chapter 19-

-Zaya Brown-

I drove home after the few days I spent with Alya.

I got back into a quiet and empty home. I locked the door behind and wondered what I want to do. The house has not been decorated for Christmas yet so I should do that.

Couple hours later the door bell rang. I had brought down the boxes which had the christmas decorations but I didn't do anything. I got too lazy and decided to watch Netflix instead. I went to see who was at the door and it was an unexpected surprise.

Zhaye.

My face was clearly surprised to see him at my doorstep.

"Mind if I come in it's kinda cold out here." He asked.

"Of course come in." I let him in. He gets in and closes the door behind him.

"What can I help you with?" I asked him.

"I came here to apologize. It was really stupid of me to just ignore you because you were honest to me about your feelings." Zhaye started.

"I just don't take rejection very well. Clearly but that's not an excuse to why I reacted to the way I did. We were really good friends and you are the only girl who doesn't want to.. you know what I mean. And I shouldn't have tried to mess that up with the I feel about you." He continued.

Though I really wanted to stop him and tell him I like him back. I want to know how far he would go.

"And if it doesn't bother you maybe we could be friends again?" Zhaye finished.

"Zhaye.." I started. "I like you as in more than a friend." I finally stated. "I don't know why I didn't say I liked you when you is I just froze. But if you still want to be friends that can always be an option." He smiled.

"And you made me say all that?" He asked. "Well, you did kinda deserve it since you avoided me for weeks." I said.

"Be mine." Zhaye said taking a step forward. "Hm." I said surprised from what he said. "Be my girlfriend I don't care if it's public or private as long as I'm with you." He says coming closer to me.

"Yes." I reply. "Yes?" He questioned. He had the brightest smile. He closed all the space between us. "Would you mind?" He asks. "Wouldn't be the first time would it?" I replied as I smile.

He slowly puts his soft lips on mine.

"How about you help me decorating this empty house?" I ask. "Why is it empty anyway?" "Because no one's here and I don't feel the need of doing it. Plus, my mom is not here."

"Will she be back before Christmas?" "No." "Then come spend it with us." I look up at Zhaye. "Why would you want to spend Christmas on your own. That's just sad." He continues.

"You sure that's ok?" "Of course everyone loves you Zaya." I smile at him and he smiles back.

"Even though I am celebrating Christmas with your family this year doesn't mean we can't decorate this one. C'mon it'll be fun." I said pulling his hand to the boxes full of decorations.

"Alright alright I'll help." He said. "What are we starting with first?" He asked. "Christmas tree." I replied. "And since you are strong you are going to help me get it from the storage."

I grabbed his hand and lead him to the storage room. I made him get the heavy stuff and J got the rest. Once we got all the decorations we needed we started decorating.

We had finally finished the decorating which was exhausting. We both just sat down on the chair and looked at the ceiling.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Zhaye asked still looking at ceiling. "Yes, what do you want to watch?" I asked. "Mulan." He replied and I turn to look at him and he looks at me.

"What? It's a good movie." Zhaye said as I was about to say something I was cut off immediately and I didn't even get to say anything.

"Do say anything that's my favorite movie." He says. "I wasn't going to say anything bad." "Good." He takes the remote from my side and he turns on the tv.

"I'm going to make popcorn." "Alright." he says as I stand up making my way to the kitchen getting the popcorn putting it the microwave. Once it was ready I got it out and made my way back to the couch.

  "Ready." I said. "Alright then let's start with the movie." Zhaye said.

Somewhere through the movie I feel Zhaye's hand touching my thigh. I slightly smiled and put my head down to his shoulder.

-Zhaye Andrews-

  After she rests her head on my head not long after she falls asleep.  I'm just glad she confessed and now I'm with the girl I actually have feelings for.
