RICKY IS CONFUSED. He doesn't know where those feelings suddenly are coming from, never did he think he would like Ophelia.
Yup, he finally admitted it. He likes his best friend, and he doesn't know how to feel about it.
He doesn't want to ruin their friendship by becoming anything more, if she even feels the same way, which she probably doesn't, she just sees him as her best friend.
He hadn't felt like this in quite a while, the last time was with Nini. And when they broke up, he didn't think he would ever feel it again.
But here he is, infact feeling it again while he is laying next to his best friend who is sound asleep on his arm.
They were studying for an upcoming test they have, somehow that turned into cuddling while watching an mobie and yet the girl had fallen asleep with her head on his arm.
Ricky gently reaches his hand towards her face to remove some strands of hair from her face, causing the girl to move closer to him.
He smiled softly as her nose scrunches as his fingers brushed against it. That was adorable.
His eyes scan over her face, how her brown hair is perfectly framing her face, her flawless skin, the soft snores escaping her lips.
Her full lips which are opened an little as she breathes in and out, fuck those lips, is it bad he wants to kiss her?
Yes. He can't do that, It would be stupid if he does so and ruim their friendship, what of she doesn't feel the same way? What if he messes up an friendship from more then ten years?
His fingers find her hand which was resting on her stomach, the paper ring resting on her finger.
Carefully to not wake her ip je lifts her hand, looking at the ring he made on her finger.
Why does he like the fact she's wearing an 'wedding' ring he gave her?
Okay he really needs to stop this, they're friends. He can't think about an marriage from them.
Oh no, now he's imagining her in an wedding dress, fuck she would look breathtaking.
"Ricky?" Ophelia asks confused, looking up at him with an tired but confised expression.
Ricky Immediatly lets go off her hand as he hears her voice, he looks down at the girl who is still resting on his arm.
"The ring fell off." He says the first thing coming to mind, even though it wasn't the truth.
No way he could tell her he was just admiring the fact she's wearing an ring he gave her and imagining her with an actual wedding ring.
Ophelia isn't stupid though, she knows the ring didn't fell off. She is an light sleeper, she felt how he grabbed her hand without an reason and decided to hold her hand.
She kinda liked it.
Okay who is she kidding? she didn't kinda like it.
She loved it.
She loved how his thumb gently rubber over her hand.
She loved how soft his touch on het hand was.
She loved how carefull he was to not wake her up, even though he didn't do a very good job at it.
That 's one of the reasons she loved him, he always was so gentle with her, it is mostly the reason she loves him more then friends.
Holy shit, did she just admit that?
Ophelia shakes her head, fuck how is she gonna get over these feelings? Again?
