No choice (Chapter 10)

Laurie's POV

I woke up, struggling to open my eyes.
Oh shit, we fell asleep in bill's room,
I swear to God, if they took pictures of us, it's the last time they're gonna hold a camera.

I yawned and slowly got up, not wanting to wake Reya up and checked the time. 6:00 AM. Why did I wake up early?

I let my thoughts drift off and head for the door. As I got downstairs there's only one person awake. And it's my favourite one.

"Hey." I said in nearly a whisper. He glanced at me and smiled then focused on his cooking. "Hey, you! first time waking up early?" He said while stirring. What's he cooking? It smells amazing.

"Yeah. I just kinda woke up.. hold on, is this a dream?" I spoke in confusion.
He chuckled then removed his apron, slowly walking closer to me. I can feel his breathing getting closer and closer..

"Still a dream, sweetheart?" He whispered, being very close to me, and when I say very close? I mean it.
"Y-you're making it feel more like a dream, billy.." I stuttered. Oh fuck, now he knows I'm nervous, shit.

"I assure you, laurie darling, it's not a dream." He gently smiled at me and rubbed my shoulder. I can't even explain how he makes me feel things I have never felt for anyone before..
It's like he has me wrapped around his fucking finger.

"You're good." I said and let out a faint laugh. He now broke his smile and made intense eye contact with me.
Why is he doing this stuff?

"Bill. Are you alright? Why are you doing this.." I almost fucking stuttered, god, he's good. "You look gorgeous." Oh shit, is he horny? What do i know, should I even ask him that?

"Are you..?" If he is, I don't blame him. He's 18 and has every right to be... aroused. "Kind of. Besides, i don't want any other girl." He stopped talking for a second then smirked. "I want you."

As much as I don't want to say it, I want him too. "Bill, we can't, they're sleeping and we're --" he cut me off with a flirty whisper and closed his eyes for 3 seconds. "Don't. Don't you dare say we're bestfriends, you yourself know we're much more than that." He started to open his eyes and made eye contact with me.

He's right, i do know. "I just want you to be sure of it." "Sure of what?" We were whispering, not wanting to wake the others up so they wouldn't ruin our moment again. "That we're more than that, lor.. i want you to say it and really mean it."

He stared into my soul like a beast, hungry for lust... Here goes nothing. "I'm not sure of it, bill." Knowing full well that I'm so fucking sure of it i just can't admit it to him that easy. I didn't wanna ruin his career and make his manager mad at him and for another reason that i'd rather die than telling.

I could tell his heart dropped as soon as I said those words. I feel bad, but i didn't have much of a choice.

"I understand." He said disappointingly while being unable to look into my eyes.. He started to distance himself to me, still avoiding eye contact.

Before i could say anything -- he went to go clear the counter in the kitchen and walked out, quietly.

"I love you." I sighed and closed my eyes. "Should I go call bill so you could properly say that to him?" I gasped and turned around, looking at tom leaning on the wall.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. "Don't you have something better to do? like girls?" He scoffed and folded his arms.
"Don't you have something better to say? Like to bill?" Damn it. Gustav warned me that tom can be a pain in the ass now and he was so fucking right.

"Whatever. I can't deal with your shit right now." I muttered, tom still looking at me, intently. "That's fine. I'll just tell bill you love him."

I turned around out of tom's annoyance and saw a smirk planting on his face. "Don't you dare." I replied starting to walk out again, flipping him off while I'm at it.
