"you don't hate me do you?"

I turned to look at the curly headed girl next to me with a confused look. She stared back at me with glossy eyes.

We sat in the couch in almost complete silence while the TV played a disney movie. It sorta became our thing ever since our first hang out, to binge disney movies in her living room. The only problem was neither of us payed attention. We would either be talking or being stupid but this time, it was quiet. There was an awkwardness between us and i hated it. I made her think like that. I fucked things up all because i was in a rush.

"what? no, why would i hate you?" i asked.

"i don't know there's this tension between us since what happened in the kitchen and i just don't want you to be upset with me because i do like you i just—" i cut her off by placing a hand on her knee and using my thumb to trace small circles on it. "i don't hate you. it's my fault for rushing it, i should've made sure you were okay with it first"

I took all the blame for what happened between us tonight. I guess i thought since we slept together it meant we would kiss eventually. Maybe she only saw us being friends and i probably ruined a chance of that too.

"it's not your fault. there's nothing wrong with wanting something paige..i just feel like our first kiss should be special—and when i'm ready and not in my kitchen with parmesan gratings on the floor" she said with a smile. She was trying to lighten up the mood and it somewhat worked since i smiled.

"i'll make it special" i promised.

She sighed. "you make a lot of promises, bueckers"

"i keep them though, don't i?" i said with a risen eyebrow. She stared at me and instead of answering my question, her eyes fixed on the tv. I scoffed and playfully pushed her, causing a giggle to escape her lips. "okay maybe you keep some of them" she admitted.

"well i promise to keep this one. i'll make our first kiss special"

I pushed my key into the lock of my apartment door and turned it, pushing the door open. I walked inside and closed it behind me only to be confused by the constant chatter coming from my living room.

I furrowed my eyebrows and walked in, seeing my teammates sprawled out on the floor and in the coach. Azzi had a spare key to my apartment so that was probably how they got in. They were so oblivious that they didn't notice me.

"why are you guys in my house?" i asked. They all turned their heads and gave me guilty smiles. I rolled my eyes but gave them a small smile back. This wasn't the first time and i didn't mind them coming over, but i was hoping to be alone tonight to process everything that happened with sevyn. I shouldn't be taking it to heart like this but i didn't wanna ruin what we had already with a stupid "kiss".

"um actually this is an apartment, not a house" ice corrected.

"doesn't matter, it's still my place" i sassed. She rolled her eyes and kk started walking over to me.

"i smell food" kk said as her eyes fixed on what was in my hands. She smirked as she rushed to grab the dish out my grasp. I moved it away from her and she groaned.
