what are we?

staring.

~ It hits different cause it's you. - Taylor swift~

It's sunday morning now and I'm still hungover as fuck, how much did I drink?
Nick hasn't left my mind since we were at the party on friday.

God, I need to stop thinking about him.

I walk downstairs and see my brother eating cereal at the kitchen counter.
He looks up at me and smiles.
„Good morning, are you hungover too?"

I nod, too tired to answer and get a drink from the fridge.

He chuckles, „You want me to make you something to eat?"

I shake my head. „No thank you."
Mateo sighs. „Come on, ela. You don't think I noticed? It's like you barely eat anything."

„What do you mean, I do eat. I'm just... not hungry right now." I hate lying to my brother.

Mat sighs once again but gives in.
„Okay, fine. Tell me when you're hungry."
He kisses my forehead and sidehugs me.

I smile softly, I appreciate my brother more than anything.

My mother comes out of her bedroom, rubbing her left eye while she looks at us.

She smiles widely.
„My sweethearts. Good morning."

„Morning." Me and my brother say at the same time.

My mum smiles once again and walks to the bathroom.

„I'm gonna go upstairs." I tell Mateo and he nods as he gives me some painkillers.

I go upstairs, drink my water while taking the painkillers.

I look up to my window to see,
Nicholas. NICHOLAS!!

Since we're neighbours our windows are across each other's and we can always see what the other is doing if the curtains are open.

That's why our curtains are NEVER open.
At least Nick's are always closed.
I always forget to close mine.

Nick is pacing around his room nervously.
The hell?
He's also shirtless. SHIRTLESS.
God he looks so fucking hot.

Suddenly, he looks up, and is met to the sight of me staring at him.
He just looks at me. No emotion, at least not any that I can read.

We just stare at each other intensely.
Is it hot in here?

We have this intense eye contact for about a minute until Nicholad shakes his head and closes his curtains.
