025 ; i guess i do like him...

Clay and I haven't seen each other in a week, after he drove me home he stayed for a while and then he left. He didn't leave my mind though, he seemed to be the first and last thought of my day.

He hadn't messaged or called... maybe he was waiting for me to call him? No. He's not the type, right?

"Y/n we're going out do you need anything?" My father yells from downstairs "No thank you dad, I'll be ok." I respond poking my head out of my door "We won't be long, you're sister is at work for the rest of the day." My father yells back "Alright love you bye." I say and the door closes.

Usually I'd care about Avery being gone for work, you know because I'd want to know when she comes home but it just wasn't fulfilling my thoughts like he was.

So I call George, which is strange given that I never talk to George.

"George?"
"Yes?" his tone was groggy, did he just wake up?
"You aren't busy are you?"
"No, Nick woke me up anyway."
"Oh did he call you too?"
"No we're having a sleepover at Clays"

My heart skips a beat, he was with Clay. For some reason I was jealous. I wanted to be there with Clay.

"Oh right..."
"You alright?"
"Yeah I was just ringing to ask you something about Clay anyway"
"I can just hand the phone to him... don't you have his number?"
"Well yeah but I don't want to annoy him."
"So you annoy me? How lovely." Then I heard his voice in the background teasing George "is it your girlfriend georgey?" he sounded happy, which made me happy.
"I don't think he'd be annoyed if you called him. And no Clay It isn't my girlfriend its yours"
"Y/n?" his voice echoed through my mind, the fact that the word girlfriend and my name with connected in his mind made my heart melt.

"fine I'll call him." I say before hanging up, I dial Clay's number which for some reason I knew off by heart.

"Hey Shortcake!" 
"You sound giddy" 
"I'm just happy, Nick and George slept over."
"Yeah I know, Georgey told me." he laughs at my comment, fuck bro.
"Did you need me? I can come over now i-"
"No Clay I just sort of missed you." he stays silent for a moment, was he shocked?
"Say it again."
"No why would I do that.
"Say it again Y/l/n" he addressed me by my last name, did i strike a nerve or something.
"I missed you?" my confused tone does not go unheard because I can hear him giggling.
"Come over, Im sure Nick and George wont mind." he suggests.
"I have to walk its too far." 
"I'll come get you sit tight." before I could even get a word out he hangs up on me.

It wasn't long before he bursted through my bedroom door "hey, knock!" I say throwing a pillow at him "shut up, hurry up the boys are waiting." he mumbles grabbing the stuff I usually grab when we go out "stop rushing me you dopehead." I walk up to him and flick his forehead, he grabs my hand with his spare hand and he pulls me towards him.

Our lips were inches apart "don't flick my forehead." he says staring at my lips "stare at my lips again and there will be some irresolvable problems." i tease him and he rolls his eyes letting go "hurry hurry!" he says "alright" I mumble grabbing a random hoodie and putting it on, jogging down the stairs after him.

I locked the front door and ran to his car, he starts it and drives off.

"Who's at your house?" I ask Clay "Just Nick, George and I. I was bored so I invited them over."  he says and I nod "am i ruining your boys night?" I ask him and he shakes his head "if anything they wanted you over more than me" he says jokingly and I punch his arm "ouch what for?" he says focusing on the road.

"you don't want me there?" I question him "Of course I do you fucking idiot, I wouldn't have picked you up otherwise. wise ass." he mumbles the insults and I roll my eyes.
