Until next lifetime (Blake Gray)

He wrapped his arms around me, accommodating me on his chest. We continued on watching the movie until I felt his hands rubbing my waist and lifting my sweater a little bit. I knew where this was going, come on, I'm not a kid anymore. I flinched when his cold hands met my waist,

"I'm sorry, wasn't trying to make you uncomfortable." He said and gave me my space to move

He tried to ignore what just happened and continued watching the movie. I stared at him but he wouldn't look back. I figured it out.

I pulled him in for a kiss. We started making out on the couch. I straddled him and he soon wrapped his arms around my hips, running his fingers through my back, while I played with his hair. The situation heated up. I moved from on top of him, and took out my hand for him to take,

"Wanna take this to a more private place?" I smiled flirty

He smirked and took my hand. He hugged me from behind and guided me to his room. He closed the door and pushed me gently on the bed.

"I'm all yours." He winked

Fuck, I was living in a fantasy.

Soon we had no clothes on, and the rest is history..

Axel took me back home. I was smiling like an idiot. He kissed me goodbye and left. I walked in the house and mom was washing the dishes from dinner. I had dinner with Axel, we ordered some food and had an amazing time,

"Why are you smiling like that?" Mom smirked, "Did Blake already confess his feelings for you?"

I looked at her annoyed, "Mom, what the hell?"

"I'm just saying." She shrugged her shoulders

"I told you I was going out with Axel." I rolled my eyes

"Just give it time. You'll end up with Blake. You know I'm never wrong when it comes to my kids, especially you, Maggie."

She gave me a kiss on the forehead and left me with a lot of unsolved questions. Does she mean it? But, why Blake? He's my best friend and that's it. I don't even know if I could date him. I mean, we would definitely work out together, we want the same things in a relationship, but that means risking our friendship. I can't lose him. I would never forgive myself, and definitely not for a silly relationship. Even if we were so good together, there's still place for mistakes. There's place for arguing, for disagreement. I don't know, I'm better off this way.

Blake also believes he could never date a friend he wants to keep in his life forever. Referring to me, of course. He believes how sometimes he can be an unstable boy who makes quite a lot of mistakes, and a romantic relationship is a big space for mistakes.

Today we are going to Blake's house in the mountains, but we are staying for the night. I invited Axel, but he couldn't make it since his parents are coming back. His brother is also coming and he mentioned before how much they get along and how close they are.

Blake picked me up. Bryce and Skylar were with him. Josh and Nicole were in another car. Since we were six. Skylar joined Josh and Nicole, and Bryce stayed with us. Diane and Noah went in another car and they all followed Blake.

The car ride was fun. We were blasting music and talking about many random stuff. Bryce out of nowhere would start talking about how much he likes Skylar. I know they will date someday. Their probably just not aware of each other's feelings, but I know how much Skylar likes him.

It was all fun and games until they started talking about sex. It was not weird at all for us to talk about topics like that. We always do and joke about anything you can imagine,

"Now that we brought up this topic," Bryce said getting his head in between the space of the two front seats, "Have you done anything with Axel?"

I got nervous at his question, I'm not really open about the guys I hook up with, I prefer to keep it lowkey, but they are my best friends, what could go wrong?

"I mean.." I started and blushed

"You have!" Bryce yelled and smirked, "tell me about it."

"Well, we did hook up." I answered

"But you.." Bryce said referring to having sex, I just nodded. Bryce started whistling and making happy sounds. I laughed at his reaction, but I noticed how Blake was gripping on the steering wheel without saying anything. He was focused on the road with an annoyed look. He had no expression on his face other than serious. I know him too well to understand he was uncomfortable, but I couldn't figure out why. I don't think it's about me and Axel, I mean, we have talked about guys before, and he has told me about girls. It's just very normal for us to bring up a topic like this.

"Hey, aren't you happy for Maggie?" Bryce asked with a big smile on his face

"Sure." He answered dryly

"It doesn't look like it." I said under my breath

"Guys, I am happy for Maggie. Of course I am, I'm just focusing on the road. I don't want to get lost on it."

I shrugged off and continued chatting with Bryce.
