Within The Shadows.✅ (WLW)

17 | Crush

I think someone has a crush." I say wiggling my eyebrows at Anna as we get the popcorn from the kitchen. Ava and Bianca are sitting in the living room, picking a movie to watch.

"What are you talking about," Anna asked, but I could see a blush creep up on her cheeks.

"So, the blue-eyed girl there in the living has nothing to do with those red cheeks of yours," I say with a smirk. Ever since Bianca arrived, I couldn't help but notice Anna looking at her with nothing but amazement.

"It's cute, but I'm scared you'll get hurt. I mean she has a boyfriend, and I don't even know if she's into girls." I say looking at her with concern. I don't want my best friend to get hurt.

"I know, and I don't know what to do M. I mean I have never had a crush or liked someone." She says sounding a bit hopeless. I know exactly how she feels.

I knew I liked Ava for years, but we only shared those feelings our last year of high school and let me tell you it's difficult seeing someone you like with someone else.

"I'll try to fish out of Ava if she likes girls, but that is all I can do," I say giving her a weak apologetic smile.

"No no, it's fine. I know you and Ava have a few unspoken things you need to speak about." But before I could answer Anna, Ava spoke from the kitchen door.

"What unspoken things?" Great just what I needed. A conversion with Ava that I didn't even plan on having.

"Wel that's my qui to leave." She says leave me alone with Ava. I give her pleading eyes to not leave me.

But it was no use.

"So, what are the unspoken things Anna was talking about that we need to speak about," Ava asked leaning against the door frame. "Ohh nothing, you know Anna always joking," I say trying to laugh it off.

Ava eyes me suspiciously. I swallow hard when I notice she is coming towards me, taking a step back but I didn't come far because of the kitchen counter.

Ava put both her hands on either side of me on the counter just looking at me. God, I can feel my heart pumping out of my chest and my legs starting to feel yellow.

She leans forward until her mouth is against my ears, and just as I close my eyes thinking she is going to kiss my neck "Bianca doesn't like girls." She says moving away. Out of the kitchen.

Trying to contain myself. I grab a glass of water, downing it. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Just happened.

Ohh, I know, you thought that Ava was going to kiss you. WHAT THE FUCK MELANIE, YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!

Getting back to the living room, I see Anna and Bianca talking, but no movie is playing.

"Ohh here you are, so here's what going to happen. I'm going to help you get dressed, then we are going out." Says Bianca, jumping up and dragging me to my room.

"Umm, why are we going out again," I ask her to sit on my bed while she looks through my closet for something to wear.

"Because I need to get drunk...and watching a movie is boring. Here, I see you have black heels to go with this. Go get dressed so that I can do your makeup. " She says holding a short black dress that Anna bought me, but I have never worn.

"You had this planned all along, I should have known. You were all too dressed up for a sleepover." I say while walking to the bathroom.

After we are done with my makeup, I look in the mirror, and to my surprise, I look hot.

The black dress shows a lot of skin but only the good type, my makeup is done amazingly.

"Damn girl, you are hot," Bianca says coming into view in the mirror's reflection.

"HAYYY!!!! WHAT IS-" Anna stops mid-sentence when she bursts through the door and sees me. "Damn, if you weren't my best friend I'll jump you." She says looking me up and down.

After arriving at the club, I start to feel uncomfortable. Everyone was looking at me and I think Ava noticed my uncomfortableness because she put her hand on my lower back, rubbing lightly with her thumb.

I relax almost instantly.

Anna and Bianca were grinding against each other, not to my surprise, they already had a few.

"You look hot tonight," Ava whispers in my ear. I break my gaze from our best friends and look at her. Seeing her looking at my eyes and then at my lips. I can feel the butterflies starting to form in my stomach.

One moment we are staring at each other and the next I feel her lips on mine.
