"Do you havvve to go?" Michael ask. I giggled into his chest, inhaling the smell of his cologne. I looked up at him and our eyes locked.
"Ya... my mums waiting at home" I whined, pretending to cry. I smiled as he pulled me into him tighter.
"You can't leave me though" He said, sighing.
"I have to... or else my mum will be mad" I replied sadly, pulling myself out of his arms and putting my book back in my bag. I was about to walk out but I turned around and put my arms around his neck again. He hugged me back gently weaving his arms around my waist. After I let go I put on my bag and was literally half way out the door when he hugged me one last time.
"At least let me drive you home" He told me, practically begging.
"But how am I gonna get my car" I explained.
"Simple. I pick you up tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn and take you back here so I can spend more time with my best friend" he smiled, pushing my hair behind my ear. Ya... best friends... that's exactly what this is.
"Hmmm... I think I like the idea of that" I laughed, not even blushing. I don't blush that much anymore. He linked his arm in mine, dragging me out the door.
It's been three months. Three months of hugging and flirting and lazy Netflix days. I feel I've lived more in these last few months than I ever have. I remember how it used to feel seeing him with other girls. That bullet that kept going in deeper, well it's dislodged now. Now I'm that girl. The best friend. The secret.
Awhile ago I wouldn't have stood for this. The "I love you's" and holding hands without actually dating. A week or two ago I got really mad. It seemed really petty considering the hurt I used to feel... but I had finally had enough of the guessing. I told him that. Nothing much was accomplished with that fight... except the fact that we admitted to each other how we felt. For the longest time all I wanted to do was date... but I kind of like where we're at. All I needed was to know that he's mine and no one else's.
"Caro? You okay?" Michael ask, putting his hand on mine as we rode silently.
"Ya, why?" I smiled, reassuringly.
"Its quiet... the silence is unnerving," He blushed, making me smile.
"No... it's comfortable silence," I smiled repeating what he said the first time. He laughed, the sides of his crooked smile facing up. I noticed how his eyes lit up when he was genuinely happy.
"That night... that was when I knew I had to be your friend" He told me.
"The night was awesome," I agreed. We both turned to look at each other as a familiar song came on the radio.
"Its our song!" We said at the same time, bursting into laughter. The songs words rang in my head "Never say never". I had nothing to stop me so as we pulled into my drive way I kissed him on the cheek. Nothing too much, but not to little... a lot like the way we are.
And I think I might finally happy...
