COINCIDENCE - JOÃO FÉLIX

10. mutual

ADELINA'S POV
after eating dinner, we stayed up and watched a movie until clara and andre went upstairs to sleep. it was a bit awkward between joão and i to say the least.

after a couple of minutes, i left to go to my room. i didn't know how to feel, i kept staring at joão while everyone else had their eyes on the tv. the feelings i had weren't sorry or something else. i felt like i wanted to just hold him and kiss him.

i mean he's done so much for me and he's also just beautiful. his personality can be sucky sometimes but i still love it either way. i feel like i can be a better person when he's around, like a whole different person with motivation, like he's the reason i have even felt happiness.

he has made me feel like a normal human being again, like i can stand up to my parents and do whatever it is that i want. he made me feel safe for the first time in eight years.

i didn't want to lose him, i didn't know what i would do. not talking to him while watching a movie and have him interrupt it to give some kind of stupid comment made me sad and feel empty inside.

i walked out of my room, walking downstairs. he was still there, watching the movie by himself. my eyes filled with tears, i never want to let him go again.

i walked over to him, sitting next to him. he noticed my presence, his smile quickly faded when he noticed i was on the verge of crying.

"adelina—" he spoke, concerned as he wiped away my tears that have just fell. "i don't want to lose you, joão. i don't know why i had to take time to even think about my feelings for you. i can't go a second without talking to you." i spoke with a smile on my face.

joão felt like he could breathe again when he heard my words. "you like me?" he asked with a faded smile. "what do you think, idiot?" i asked, chuckling.

he crashed his lips onto mine, smiling into the kiss as he pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear. he pulled away to look at me before wrapping his arms around me. i quickly hugged him back causing him to smile.

a few seconds later he let go only to kiss me all over my face. "you have no idea how happy i am." he spoke with a soft voice.

we ended up cuddling on the couch and finishing the movie together. we didn't actually watch the movie, instead just stole glances at each other and kept holding hands.

we were both sad when the movie ended, meaning we had to go back to our rooms. we were also both very sleepy and tired. "what's your opinion on telling andre and clara about this little relationship?" joão whispered as we walked upstairs.

"i don't know, it's up to you." i answered. he held my hands, standing in front of my room. "i'll talk to you later, have a good sleep." he spoke before giving me a peck on the cheek causing me to smile. i waved goodbye as he walked away before running into my room and jumping on the bed.

he's making me go insane! i went to sleep that night with a smile on my face.

"joão!" i tried to wake him up, causing him to open his eyes. i was met with a groaning joão. "what?" he asked.

"andre and clara told me to wake you up. come on!" i said, lending my hand. he took my hand and pulled me into bed with him.

"come on, joão. we have a long da—" he shushed me up and went back to sleep, wasn't really sleeping just staring at me.

"i'll give you a kiss if you get up." i said, getting out of bed.

joão quickly got up with wide eyes. "i'm up!" he leaned over to kiss me, i leaned back. "go brush your teeth first!"
