The West Side [Book 1]

Chapter 17 : Heart

As the two boys comfortably laid on the small bed , a sudden click sound was heard from downstairs . Justin who was engrossed in his phone did not hear anything while Tip had an idea of who might have entered the house . He was just waiting for someone to barge inside his room any minute now . His mood suddenly dropped at the intrusion .

He had so much planned for tonight . He'd hope to spend the entire night cuddled up with no disturbances . But now it seemed that luck wasn't on his side .

Tip was laying on his back with his pale arm behind his head as he studied Justin's expressive face . The brown haired boy was laying flat on his stomach while he texted Connor about some vampire movie they recently watched . Justin was the one who picked the movie , claiming that he needed to educate himself about the 'deadly creatures' . But he lied .

He knew the basics about vampires . That they avoided the sun at all cost due to being night creatures , they had no reflection and could smell blood without tasting it . So he was not completely clueless . 

He was trying to get on Connor's nerves . From the soft chuckles escaping from his lips it seemed that his plan was succeeding .

Connor was ignoring him though , leaving his messages on read . Justin released a breath from his nose when Connor left him on seen for the 7th time . It amused him how easily riled up the starving vampire was that he almost made it his daily mission to annoy him . He smiled when an evil thought came to life in his mind . Maybe I should pack some garlic for lunch .

" You have beautiful eyes ..." Tip said distractedly .

Justin looked sideways from where he laid , his eyes wide . Tip was studying his face with so much intensity that he thought the boy might propose to him . The thought made him tint a red color . That'll never happen .

But the other boy was looking at him like he was something rare , like a diamond to be cherished . Something that had to be treated with delicacy . Justin's heart immediately picked up speed at his own thoughts .

" Stop staring , it's creepy . You've been doing it the entire time !" Justin whined dramatically , rolling onto his back . He lifted his legs in the air before placing them on top of Tip's clothed ones . Tip briefly looked at their touching legs before shrugging his broad shoulders .

" what can I say ? You're pleasing to look at . It cannot be controlled . "

Tip shifted so he was laying sideways . He pulled Justin closer to him before grabbing the boy's exposed leg again and placing it on his hips . Justin was wearing nothing but a very long white shirt that belonged to Tip's brother .

The shirt was laying on the floor the moment he came in and Justin had picked it up , immediately putting it on . He didn't know who it belonged to and he didn't care . It looked good on him so he might as well claim it .

He smiled when Tip kissed his face from his nose to his forehead . He was experiencing feelings he had never experienced before . His whole body felt hot , his legs weak . He was feeling a sensation in the pits of his stomach or perhaps it butterflies . The feeling was just foreign to him in a good way .

" I'd rather you touch me ." Justin whispered before he could stop himself .

He shyly peered at the other boy but Tip was frozen . His whole body stiff as he looked at Justin's green eyes . If they were in different circumstances , Justin would've laughed at the boy's face . It was evident that Tip was caught off guard by the statement . Justin wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing .

It felt like time had stopped as they stared into each other's eyes . Justin brushed Tips black hair out of his eyes , pecking him on the chin . That made the other boy smile broadly , flashing his straight teeth .
