Ally's pov:

Don't ask how long Axel and I sat on that couch, making out until our lips were numb and we were nearly turning blue from lack of air. 

Because I wouldn't be able to tell you. 

When I thought about what it would be like to kiss Axel, I always thought he'd be a bit of a gentle kisser, being someone who liked to take his time getting to the good part. 

I have never been more wrong in my life. 

When he kisses, he kisses like he means it. 

Every.

Single. 

Time.

So safe to say, I'm clearly not disappointed. 

If I had it my way, I don't think I'd leave this couch for the rest of the week. 

I feel like I'm in a fever dream. 

That this isn't real, and I'll wake up tomorrow back in California, and all of this never happened. 

Some nightmare that would be...

But it is real.

And here I am, sitting with Axel on his couch after we finally mustered up the strength to pull apart from each other and have a civil conversation that didn't involve nearly jumping each other's bones. 

Not that I would have complained or anything... 

It was probably the biggest relief in the world, hearing that the feelings that I had towards Axel were mutual, and I wasn't just a friend to him. 

Don't get me wrong, if he only saw me as a friend, I would have forced myself to stay within my boundaries and be just a friend...

Even if it meant shoving my true feelings to the side and acting like everything was okay. 

Truly, I would have done it...

But this is much better. 

So, so much better. 

"So, are we actually going to start a movie now? Because I could definitely go for some High School Musical right about now" I say, resting my head on the side of his shoulder while he twirls a strand of my hair around his finger.  

God, I love when people play with my hair. 

Best feeling ever. 

I look up towards him after a few seconds of no response, and I watch as his eyes flutter shut for a brief moment, before shooting back open in a forceful motion. 

Ah, that explains it. 

I can't help but hide a laugh while watching him trying so desperately to stay awake. 

I let a few more seconds pass, confirming that he must have not heard me, because I was expecting some sort of grumble of protest after hearing my pick. 

"Axel."

"Huh?" He startles a bit, looking down at me with a tired expression. 

"Do you want to head to bed?" I ask, changing my question. 

He shakes his head, "No I'm good, let's talk." But as he says this, I watch as his eyes again begin to shut. 

This time, I can't hold back my laugh as I pat him on the arm, "No, I think it would be best to get some sleep." I say, before removing myself from him to stand up. 

As soon as I get to my feet though, he lets out a frustrated groan, "Sit back down." 

Shaking my head, I put my hands on my hips, watching as he pats the spot on the couch where I was just at to get me to sit back down.
