16 | hey roomie

Briarr shivered, it was so cold. She stood lonely outside the airport with her bags, waiting for Leyna to arrive.

She repeatedly checks her watch, Leyna was running late. Her foot tapped the floor in frustration, not knowing where her best friend was, as she hadn't even left a text to let Briarr know she was running late.

"Bri?" A voice called, immediately catching her attention.

"Leyna finally!-" she pauses "Oh my gosh, Oli?!"

He grins and walks up to Briarr, immediately engulfing her in his arms.

"Hey, did you just get back?" He asks, grin still prominent on his face.

"I did, I'm waiting to be picked up," She told him.

He nods at her words "I'm the opposite, just got dropped off."

"Going back to Florida, huh?" Briarr asks, even though she already know the answer. He nods. "What time's your flight?"

Oliver glances down at his watch, "Just less than an hour," he answers.

She giggles "Oh so you're one of those who gets at the airport really early."

He grins and rolls his eyes at her "No- I got here a bit too early okay? I overestimated how long the drive would be." He defends.

Briarr laughs mockingly at him. "Okay anyway, I would offer to stay with you but-"

"But you're waiting for your ride," he butts in.

She pulls a face and nods slowly "Yup," Briarr says stiffly, popping the 'p'.

She turns away from him and stares at the road, his gaze stays on her.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asks.

Briarr's eyes snap back over to him, but she stays quiet for moment. She must've looked confused because he repeated his question "Are you okay?"

"Oh-" She says in realisation "Yeah... Yeah, I'm good."

He raises his brows "You sure?"

"Yes I'm all good," She reassures him, saying it as sweet as she can to make him believe her.

He stares at her though, obviously not buying it. "Something on your mind then?" He asks.

Briarr nods "Yeah... Something like that," she replies.

Oliver smiles at Briarr and pulls her back into his arms hugging her lightly, before he pulls away slightly to look at her.

"Well maybe I could take your mind off of it," he whispers, grinning.

Her eyes widen slightly. "What?" She asks, before he leans forward, cupping her face.

Their faces stay close together for a moment, until Oliver closes the gap in between them, kissing her lightly.

The two stay still for a second, the kiss staying light. But then Briarr completely pulls away from him when she realised what was happening.

She doesn't say anything to him and only stares at him, completely shocked.

Oliver opens his mouth for a second, closing it, then opening it again "I'm so sorry- was that- that wasn't..." He stops and looks down "I'm sorry."

Briarr tries to say something, but is interrupted by a car horn.

Finally Leyna had arrived.

Briarr whips her head around to see the car and then looks back at Oliver "I have to go... Um... Bye!" She says awkwardly, running off with her bags, completely leaving him there.
