Me and my overprotective best friend

Mistletoe

It was near to Christmas and every year Austin's mum would throw a Christmas party there was a mistletoe I always avoided it.

"You ready for the party tomorrow dove?" Austin gave me a toothy smile which made me giggle a little bit. We still haven't talked about the night I passed out. I want to but I'm scared. "U-Um yes?" I smile nervously. He smirked at me and then pretended like he didn't and took me sledging.

The night of the party was so nerve-racking. I was wearing Austin's dark green-ish hoodie and some nice white ripped jeans. I walked into the party and everyone looked at me and whispered as Emily and Austin approached me, they were both fast walking towards me glaring at each other but Austin had long legs and got to me first.

Everyone gasped, I was so confused until I looked up WHY IS THE MISTLETOE ABOVE THE DOOR?! WHO DOES THAT! I looked around and my eyes stopped when I saw Austin's mum smirking at me my face turned red. She set me up! I thought. Austin looked up and smirked at me as his gaze turned to me. He hugged me and whispered in my ear "We can't keep the audience waiting~ but if you are not comfortable then I won't do it." I whispered "It's okay" as he leaned back slightly placing his hand on my cheek and gently pressing his lips against mine. I kiss him back

A few seconds after he slowly pulled away and smiled. There was a mix of shock and awe in the crowd. Emily had tears in her eyes. I felt so guilty.

As I looked around the room two grandparents were giving us a disgusted look. It was Austin's grandparents, they were very old-fashioned.

At that moment I felt guilty and embarrassed with a hint of sadness. Austin picked up on this and glared at his grandparents and gave his mum a look, as he pulled me to his room, I saw his mum go to the grandparents and start talking to them.

Austin shut the door and hugged me tightly "Sorry about them." he leaned back holding my shoulders "Are you okay dove?" I slowly nodded with a blush across my face.

We sat down on his bed. "Can we talk about the other day?" he placed his hand on mine and I blushed a bit and nodded "I like you dove.." he said kind of serious and embarrassed. I could see pink on his cheeks. I hesitated as I leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "I-I like you to Austin.." I avoid eye contact as my face turns bright red...
