Dead Heart

I Left

Tomorrow was when I was going to go for my internship at the club. I didn't want to leave Terrell's house deep down, but work was super important too. We were watching Mean Girls together, I loved that he loved watching super girly things. Whichever girl ends up marrying him is SO lucky. I had my feet pulled to my butt facing sideways, concentratedly staring at the screen. I glanced over at Terrell, who was comfortably sprawled across the huge sofa, looking at the screen. My face burned. I rested my hand on my cheek and averted my eyes to look back at the screen, when I heard him shifting. I didn't even look at him but I could tell he was getting closer to me. I looked at him again and looked at me at the same time. I smiled a stupid grin and turned back to stare at the screen. I got up to get a glass of water, pulling down the sweatshirt I was wearing of Terrell's then I felt him grab my arm and pull me back down to the sofa right on him. "Wachu need Vani?"

Shit. "Uhhh water, can I go now?" 

He brushed my hair off my face gently and got up, smiling. He returned with a glass of water and held it to my mouth, without thinking I started drinking the water while he was still holding the cup, making eye contact with him the entire time. I finished the water and sighed. 

"I didn't think you needed help drinkin water even when you could see perfectly clearly, " he smirked. 

I know I didn't but I could so why the heck not. "Do you have a problem with that Velly? Don't you like helping your best friend?" I raised and eyebrow, smiling. 

He looked away for a second, then looked down. His cheeks grew full and he whispered, "Nope, I don't mind at all." I didn't even realize how close he was to me. I slowly turned my head away from him, to try to hide the huge grin on my face. He grabbed my hand for a second, and I quickly turned to face him again, a little shocked. The movie was super loud but my brain began to tune it out while he was staring into my eyes. He inhaled slowly but I held my breath, feeling my own heart beat in my throat. I unintentionally bit my bottom lip and Terrell's gaze on my eyes traveled down to my lips. My heart beat sped up even more. I squeezed my eyes shut and I could feel warmth getting closer and closer to my lips. Then I felt his fingers brush over my cheek, I opened my eyes just to see his lips inch away from mine, leaving my own unscathed. What was that? Why did I not want him to stop? There's no way I can fall back to my high school ex.  

I broke the silence, "I have work tomorrow, and the 24 hours is almost over."

"Oh. Yea, I can get you home if you need a ride."

Uh no. A ride with HIM is gonna send me somewhere else. "No it's okay I can take an Uber, thank you though."

"Oh.." he looked down at the table, "okay yea, that's good, just text me that you get home safe okay?"

"Don't worry best friend, I will."

I walked to the bedroom Terrell gave me and I grabbed my phone and locked myself up in the bathroom. I crouched down against the wall and just breathed. I need to call Hannah. "Hannah."

"Hey girl how's your time going theree, don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Long story short, I almost got hit by a car but Terrell saved my life and got me to the hospital and lied to the doctors that I was his wife so they wouldn't ask questions. Then someone had to take me home to make sure I don't hurt myself for 24 hours so I'm at his house right now."

"What. The. Fuck."

"Yea."

"I have so many questions."

"I know, but I don't have any time now. But, I think... HANNAH WE WERE ABOUT TO KISS I THINK. MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW."

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAYBE ABOUT TO KISS SOMEONE IDIOT."
