*Norman's POV*
I just decided to take Liz back to my place because I really needed to talk to her about how I feel. I walked her to the car and opened the door as she got in. When i go to my side I climbed I and started the car and drove off back to my place.
~~~~~~~~~~20 minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~
We finaly pull up to the house! The silence was just killing me, I wouldn't have been able to handle another minute in that silence. We climb out the car and walk up to the doors of the apartments. I pull the door open for her. She walks in and gives me a little nod as in saying 'thank you'. I don't blame her for being mad or confused. I walked in after her and shut the door.
"I'm going to go put on some new clothes. Want something to wear?" I asked as I finished taking my shoes off.
"No... I'm just going to go to my apartment and put something of mine on." She handed me my jacket and walked out the door. I walked into my room and changed into some sweat pants then ran to go throw my wet clothes into the drier before Liz got back. After throwing them in there I heard a knock on the door so I ran up to it and opened the door up to revel Liz in a black hoodie and grey sweatpants. Man she can look great in anything.
Her eyes reveled down to my chest then back up to my eyes and when she made eye contact with me she looked away. I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Come on in." I pulled he door open a little bit. "I'm going to go throw a t-shirt on." I pointed down the hall. She just nodded and waked towards the coach as I made my way to my room to get a shirt.
*Liz's POV*
The door opened up and I'm standing face to face with him. I start to look down at the ground but stop when I notice he doesn't have a shirt on. He looks damn good too. I stop staring and look back up to his face. When I'm caught making eye contact with those wonderful blue eyes I look away quickly.
"Come on in." I snapped my head up and saw him pull the door open more. As I stepped in he said, "I'm going to go throw a t-shirt on." Pointed down the hall. All I could do is nod because I couldn't come to get out any words. When he started to walk to his room I started to walk over to the couch and sat down. He came back out with a shirt on a few moments later. This talks going to go by really awkwardly.
He sat next to me and sighed. "So I'm guessing you don't feel this way?" He kept looking straight and not at me.
"Look I've loved you as my brother for my whole life... I'm not going to lie there was a point in time where I thought I had feelings for you too but then I would think of kissing you and imagine I was kissing in my family. You were always there for me and I was there for you. We were best friends, I didn't think anything more then that other then when we were 15." I explain and looked at the side of his face. He would cringe here and there through out my speech.
"Okay so I'm just a brother to you?" He mumbled.
"Yeah. Not going to lie though that first day here when you bumped into me I thought you were hot until you acted like a dick." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood but it didn't help. "Come on Norm. Can I have my best friend back?"
"Best friend." He scoffed under his breath and looked down at his hands.
"Yeah best friend. If you don't want that then I don't have to be here talking to you and we can go separate ways. I can only offer to be you're best friend. If I felt the same way as you then I could offer something more." I sighed and stood up, starting to walk to the door but stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry Norman. I wish I felt the same but right now I just don't." I opened the door but stopped at the sound of his voice.
"Best friends?" I looked towards him and he was getting off the couch. "I don't want to lose you again, not after 22 years of not seeing you." He walked up to me and smirked a little bit.
"Agreed." I smiled up at him and his smirk turned into a smile. I stepped towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist and looked up at him. "Thanks for tonight. So everything's back to the way it was before?" I let go of him and stood right in front of him.
"Of course."
"Give me a key." I smirked and evil smirk. We had a key to each other's house when we were teenagers because when we were pissed at one of our parents one of us would go over to the others house and just be able to let ourselves in. Some times Norman would come over really late at night when his parents grounded him or he would come over around dinner time because his parents would get into big fights... Same for my parents too.
"A key?"
"Yes to your apartment. I'll give you mine when I make spares because Sarah will lose hers in the next week or so." I held out my hand.
"Fine but I swear to god if you come running in here on day at like 3 o'clock in the morning and you start screaming like you are getting followed by a pedophile, I will take my key back." He warned because I've done that once or twice when I knew his parents were out of town.
"Okay deal." I smiled and he went and grabbed a key from somewhere in his house.
He brought it over to me and set it in my hand. "I swear do fuck this up." He playfully glared at me.
"You know I won't Norm. I better be getting back because I know Sarah's waiting and she's going to be eating everything in the apartment." We both chuckled and gave a quick hug... Maybe not quick but it was nice to be back in his embrace.
"I guess I'll see you around?" He smirked.
"Sooner then you think." I winked and walked back to my apartment.
As soon as I opened the door Sarah came running. "What happened!" She scream and she was right in my face.
"Jesus... First, be quite and secondly, we talked." I said in a duh tone.
"Okay what did you talk about?" She worked and wiggled her eyebrows.
"About... his feeling for me." I mumbled under my breath in hopes she wouldn't hear.
"Feelings?" She raised her eyebrow. "Wait you like him like that?"
"No! He's like a brother to me!" I said defensively.
"Awe so you do. That so cute. Falling in love with your ex best friend." She smiled.
"I'm not falling in love with him! Yes I love him but only as a brother." I explained. "I'm going to bed... Long day." I rushed to my bedroom, shut my door and plopped down on my bed sighing because deep down I know those feeling will come back eventually and it's going to be when he does something really sweet and loving that they will surface again.
