the curly haired boy - gavin gore

part 4 || sleepover

gavin tried closing his bedroom door as quietly as possible, trying not to wake his mom. i walked around his room and looked at his wall as and decor. i looked through his films and tapes he had. i looked at his digital clock and it read 10:24.

"so, you're sure this is okay with your mom?" gavin asked looking at me.

"she could literally care less. i promise you."  i said turning to him, slightly laughing under my breath.

ever since my dad passed away, my mom has sorta, stopped caring. she's not as overprotective. she's drinking a lot more. i've always known his death effected me, but maybe not as much as her.

"yours?" i asked him.

"mmm she probably doesn't care. i'll just tell her tomorrow morning." he said.

it got kind of quiet. i guess we didn't really plan anything to do.

"so, what do you wanna do?" he asked me.

"hmm" i hummed while looking through his tapes. i pulled out the film clash of the titans.

"why don't we watch this?" i asked while holding it up.

"okay, sure." he said shrugging.

i hopped on his bed while he put the tape in. after pushing play he got on the bed.

we were quiet for most of the time. we talked in between scenes. we slowly inched closer every once in awhile. at this point our arms and legs were touching. some people would call it awkward and maybe it was a little bit but i still felt comforted. i felt safe and warm. i kept seeing him look at me from the corner of my eye. and whenever i looked at him, he would look away almost immediately. i looked at him and at which i though it would be a quick glance, but by now i was staring. i was admiring him. i looked at all of his features. his bright green eyes. his sharp jawline. his lips. his nose. and his curly blonde hair. i think he noticed i was staring because eventually he looked over at me. but this time he didn't look away. we made long, quiet, eye contact. our faces slowly got closer and closer. until they were inches apart. we both jerked back when we heard a knock on the door.

"hey, gavin! can i come in?" a woman said on the other side of the door. i'm assuming it was his mom.

"yeah." he replied back while we squirmed a bit further apart before she opened the door.

"oh, hi!" she said with a smile on her face lightly slapping her thighs, bending her knees a little.

"mom this is bella. she was thinking of sleeping over?" he said.

"oh, of course. i mean it's already getting late so why not?" she replied back shrugging while still having a smile on her face.

"thank you!" i said smiling back at her.

"of course! well i just came to say goodnight. i assumed you were still awake so."

"goodnight mom. i would've said it when i got home but i thought you were asleep."

"oh well that's okay, have fun. not too much fun though." she said before closing the door.

"mom, oh my god." gavin said after she already left.

"she's really sweet." i said looking back over to him.

"yeah." he replied sighing.

we both looked back at the tv. okay now this was awkward. i think we are both very aware of what was about to happen before his mom came in. if i'm being honest, i kind of wanted it to happen. but now it was just awkward. my eyes got heavy. i got tired. surprisingly the noise on the tv was calming enough to make me tired. my eyes very slowly blinked. after my last blink i finally felt my eyes close. my head fell to the side. gavins shoulder.

gavin's pov

after my mom left the room i felt an awkwardness and embarrassment spread over me. it all went by so quickly. i know we were about to kiss, and i kind of wanted it to happen. i really did. i hope she did too. it felt like it. it was all perfect, until my freaking mom knocked on the door.

i felt something drop on my left shoulder. i looked over to see bella's head laying on me. i felt myself smile. was she asleep? i heard her breath in and out. almost snoring but cuter. yeah she was definitely asleep. i grabbed the remote trying to be as careful as possible, and pressed the power button. the tv shut off and i got comfortable. before i closed my eyes i took a look at bella, trying not to move too much. i smiled to myself. she was so pretty. she's a cute sleeper. i softly leaned my head on her head and went to sleep.
