Pretend Lovers - Kit Connor

Part 7 <3

Kit notices my yawn and his lips tug into a small smile."Right let's get you some clothes." He says while running upstairs.

"I can sleep in my dress" I shout up to him. He makes a laughing sound.

"Imagine how uncomfortable that would be." He yells.

After two minutes he comes down and hands me shorts and a jumper. "Well thank you Mr Connor." I smile. He nods his head "No problem!"

Just then I got a message from Yaz...

Yaz
Hey lovely are you okay? You didn't text so I checked your location and it says you are In the middle of London still on an estate? Xx
Check in with me please x

Me
Hey Yaz long story! I am safe and fine. But I am also locked out of the house... I left my keys and you locked up. Kit is letting me stay at his till tomorrow when you get back! Xx

Yaz
That's nice of him but one small problem... I am flying to Paris in 3 hours till Thursday. And I won't be home before. Xx

Me
Shit! What am I going to do? Xx

Yaz
I don't know as I'm too far away to leave my keys with you. I'm at the airport xx

Me
Wait when did you decide to go to Paris? X

Yaz
5 hours ago with Bash! He has an interview there and Kizzy was meant to go but got sick so I took their ticket xx

Me
Okay I'll sort something... I love you. Xx

Me and Kit are sat on his sofa when I decide to tell him what Yaz had said.

I fill him in on everything and his reply without even thinking is...

"Stay with me."

Bad idea.

"W- What?" I say shyly.

He smiles. "you heard me, it is only for 4 days plus we can have so much fun."

"Ughhh fine, I guess I will put up with you for even longer" I chuckle knowing I secretly couldn't wait to see him every day. He runs quickly to the kitchen then back with cocktails in a can.

"Well here's to new friends, but most importantly soulmates!"

I freeze... What does he mean? Romantic soulmates? Platonic with a capital P soulmates?

The only thing I could possibly do is giggle. "Cheers to soulmates."

I decide to get even more drunk to drown out my feelings for the man sitting next to me on the grey but white but grey sofa.

I know I am drunk when I stand next to the fireplace and turned to hug it.

Kit laughs "I think it likes you." I was still very much hugging the fireplace "Well I like it too, now can we have some music on. I want to dance." He sighs as he turned Spotify on. I start dancing around the room.

I feel his eyes following me, watching me like I am his. Only I aren't his. And I quite possibly never will be. As I run around the room dancing I jump on the back of the sofa and land next to kit. "Dance with me?" I say while trying to get my balance as I stand up.

I hold his hand and pull him up almost tumbling. He steadies me. "Don't fall stupid." I give him a cheerful scowl.

"Thank you for the offer but I don't dance Libby."

"Well you can now." "Fine but you might not like the way I dance."

"Ooo now I'm intrigued."

He pulls me towards the open area of his living room and holde both my hands. He is definitely drunk too.

He starts to dance to the beat of the music still holding my hands. He's such a good dancer. I know there is no saving me from falling. But I really wish there is...

After we danced for around 4 songs I slump onto the sofa opening another canned cocktail. "Are you drunk?" I ask him.

He nods "very."

"Well, it's a very bad time to talk about what I want to talk about but fuck it." He sits down next to me and looks at me.

"Well what do you want to talk about human?"

"We have been close friends for 2 months now roughly and we have 3 days of filming left. We have had one kiss and we have to film one fucking more which is really annoying because Lexi shouldn't be kissing her best friend... Like there is a no kissing best friends rule right?"

"Right"

"Then why do I want to kiss mine?"...
