As I walk to my car I feel a tap on my shoulder, I sigh, I really can't be bothered talking to anyone right now.
"What do you want?", I ask not knowing who it is.
As soon as I hear his annoying accent I know exactly who it is, great...
"You still haven't lost that attitude of yours have you?", he says laughing.
"Leave me aloneee", I groan.
"Just wait", he pleases.
I ignore him and comtinue to walk over to my car. He grabs my arm, making me turn around and face him.
"Please mate, just listen", he says, his blue eyes blazing into mine.
"Fine, go on".
"I'm sorry for being a dick and getting jealous
for no fucking reason and being a hypocrite. You're my best friend and honestly I can't imagine losing you, please forgive me",
That was surprisingly sincere. I mean I shouldn't of reacted... but then again that's just me, and I don't want to say sorry, cuz I hate saying sorry but...
I laugh a bit, aww Reecey says sorry?
"Shut up, I made you a whole apology and you're laughing?", he says.
"Yep".
He shrugs his shoulders saying, "Wouldn't put it past you", making me roll my eyes.
"Whatever... Anyways. Sleepover? Since we're good now", I say, "Pleasee".
He sighs, "Back to your childish behavior... Fine but I'm driving", he says.
Not gonna lie I missed Reece's undeniably.. attractive accent. Fuck, no no... I can't think like that, he's my bestfriend, just my best friend. I stop getting carried away in my thoughts and throw my car keys at him.
"Get in the car passenger princess", he says winking at me, making me laugh.
We're now in the car and we arrive at Reece's house. I walk in the house through the front door, "Is Leila's mum dropping her off today?", I ask.
He nods. "Okay, well I'm gonna have a shower", I say. "Alright, theres some towels in bathroom", he says. I nod. I walk into his room and open the door to the bathroom (he has a bathroom in his room).
I turn on the shower, as soon as the hot water drips onto me, it feels as I am ablaze, sending shivers down and throughout my spine. Being in the shower brings me peace, it gives me time to process everything thst had recently occured and what will also soon happen. Sometimes, just standing here as the water falls onto me, simply thinking about life brings me back to the moment that makes me realise who I am and what kind of person I am. Anyways after actually showering I turn off the water and step out of the shower grabbing a towel and wrapping it around my body. I walk into Reece's room, I brought some of my clothes from my car so I changed into those. My hair was still dripping with water but oh well, I walk to the living room and I feel something hold onto my leg. I look down to see Leila, I go on my knees and pick her up, "Hii Leila", I say.
"hii lani", she says with her cute babyish voice. I just love her so much, she's adorable. I hold her in my arms sitting with her on the couch, "Where's your daddy Leila?".
Time skip
Reece made us food and now Leila was sitting in my lap watching tv on the couch. "Leila, 5 minutes til your bedtime, ey?", Reece says. "nono I don't wanna sleep daddy", she whines. Thats when I budge in, I love Leila so much so I know she will listen to me. "Leila come on you have to listen to your daddy, you have to go to bed okay?, Leila nods. I wink at Reece and he mouths "thank you". He takes Leila and puts her to bed and comes back to the living room.
"I'm. Bored.", I whine as he sits down on the couch. I sit in between his legs, laying on him. "When aren't you bored?", he sighs. "When I'm entertained", I say sarcastically. "We can watch a movie... Horror?", he suggests. "Yes yes yes", I say. "How abouttt... Scream?" he says. "Sure", I nod. I'm honestly so happy right now, I'm in good terms with Reece now. I don't know why but something feels different between the two of us. I just feel more for him, at this point I'm just shutting out my feelings for him because I don't want to ruin the friendship between the both of us. But just with him, laying in his arms makes me so happy, he makes me so happy. I know I'm modt definitely zoned out right now and lost in my thoughts but it just feels so good. The feeling of the opposite of reality, what most call expectation. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear the most ear piercing scream.
"WHAT HAPPENED?", I scream.
"The jump scare... Are you not watching", he replies.
"I am... I just don't get scared easily. Fucking hell, you scream like a girl", I say laughing.
"Shut up", he says.
I turn around to face him, sitting on his lap, burrying my face into his neck/shoulder area (idk how to explain). My eyes slowly drift, my vision becomes blurry and I close my eyes, viewing nothing but darkness slowly drifting off to the void...
I slowly open my eyes to find myself laying on Reece's chest. I groan, "You're awake, you feel asleep while we were watching Scream, it's 12 am. Get up, you're not sleeping on the couch", he pulls me up from the couch, and throws me over his shoulders making me gasp, I try to get out of his grasp but it's no use so I stop ad he starts walking to his bedroom. His touch makes me tense, he places me on his bed gently throwing the covers over me, before he leaves from my side, I grab his arm, "Stay...",I say silently. He nods and comes and lays in bed with me. I feel safe when he's around, I feel safe with him. He makes me feel a feeling no one else does or ever will, why do I constantly feel these type of feelings that no best friend would feel for another? I feel uneasy, tossing and turning, not being able to fall asleep, until... Reece gently pulls my hand, pulling me into his arms.
Reece's P.O.V:
I watch her as she sleeps peacefully, fuck that sounds weird... I hold onto her tightly, she was tossing and turning until I pulled her in my arms. Something about us felt different and I don't know if she feels it too. There's something about her that draws me to her... How can I think like this when she's supposed to be my bestfriend?
End of chapter.
So sorry it took me so long to get this out but I won't be able to release chapters every day ad I'm starting school again so please bare with me. I know this isn't the best chapter nor the longest but this chapter showed how Reece and Leilani developed their relationship once again.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for the next I will gladly take them.
Thank you for reading.
