Chapter 7

Bright, cheerful and joyful are what come to mind when thinking of a yellow rose. Yellow roses create warm feelings and provide happiness. Giving yellow roses are a way of telling someone how much you value the friendship you share.

Waking up, the girl realized that Paddy was gone. Tessa was still sleeping next to her and moved even closer to the girl when she realized she had moved. The smell of burned food immediately caught the girl's attention and she hopped out of bed because she was honestly scared that Paddy or Louis would end up burning down the house. Arriving in the kitchen, Louis was nowhere to be seen, it was just her stupid best friend who was figuring out how to unburn the food he tried to cook.

"Need some help?" (Y/N) grinned and couldn't help but giggle at the sight in front of her. She didn't even have a clue about what Paddy was trying to cook.

"Yeah, fuck that, we're ordering something." He laughed pulling out his phone. He didn't even have to ask for the girl's order because he could look at every single restaurants meal and immediately knew what she wanted which helped a lot because (Y/N) usually didn't even know herself what she wanted and Paddy was the one who got annoyed when she took too long to decide.

"Where's Louis?" the girl asked before lying down on the couch.

"Gym, should be home any minute... Move. This is our couch. Not only yours." Paddy was standing next to his best friend, trying to push away the girl's legs.

"Yeah? Who bought it, huh?"

"I DID! Which makes this even worse! I won't hesitate to lie on top of you, Beautiful." Paddy grinned before throwing himself on top of (Y/N).

"Paddy!" (Y/N) moaned in pain.

"That was fucking hot... do it again." Paddy grinned.

"You're a perv. I'm literally in pain!" The girl underneath him whined which made him move a little so he wasn't crushing her with his weight anymore.

"Better?"

"Yes, but I still want you to get off me. This is absolutely not comfortable." The girl laughed before trying to push away the boy on top of her.

"You know, you're the first one to tell me to get off them. Usually the person underneath me enjoys my company a lot more." He winks at her.

"Yeah well, usually your dick is inside them and they're not moaning in pain - well, hopefully." (Y/N) at her best friend who was looking at her like he'd never looked at her before. Or more like she had never seen him look at her at like that. It wasn't the first time she noticed how fucking beautiful this boy was, but it was the first time it made her heart beat like crazy.

"We could change that, you know." He grinned, not really sure if the fluttering in his chest was due to the look in the girls eyes or because he wanted to change that.

They both looked at each other for a few seconds without anyone saying a word, just figuring out was was happening when they felt themselves leaning in slowly, feeling each others lips flutter over each other, nervous, not quite there but begging to touch. Before the two of them even realized what was happening the front door opened and Paddy was so startled by that noise that he fell on the floor.

"Uh, did I interrupt something?" Louis grinned when he saw both of their flushed faces.

"Obviously not." Paddy rolled his eyes before getting up from the floor, too scared to think about what just happened or what was about to happen. Had he really almost kissed his best friend? Had he really truly wanted to?

Yes.

(Y/N) excused herself to the bathroom where she was standing in front of the mirror asking herself the same question over and over again: Was she falling for her best friend?
