Make You Mine - chapter 26 JUST ONE MORE
☆☆☆
it was the day before lola was supposed to go on tour and she still hadnt heard from chris. she has messaged him once, letting him know he left his hat and asking if he wanted to pick it up or if she should bring it to him, but there was no response. he had seen them, but said nothing.
the girl was getting stressed, if he didnt come by to pick it up by the end of the day, then she was going to head over and give it to him. lola had to speak to him, considering the fact she had got him and her friends tickets and backstage passes to one of her shows, she didnt want it to be awkward. well, her manager lea had sent them over this morning.
after 20 minutes of stress pacing, and stress eating grapes; there was a knock at her front door. she stopped in her tracks, and hurried over, praying it was chris. when she opened it, the smile that had grown on her face faded when she saw matt there. "not happy to see me?" he teased. "well i was kinda hoping it would be chris," she mumbled, "but its good to see you matt."
"you too! uh chris made me come here to get his hat, hes too scared to come himself." "of course, well sorry for this, you did make the journey and all, but no. if he wants it he can get it himself because i need to talk to him, and yeah." "fair enough, okay well ill let him know that." "wanna hang for a bit? if you're free that is." lola offered, mentally hoping he would stay, she really needed a distraction right now. "yeah absolutely!" he smiled at her. 'thank god' the girl silently cheered, and stepped out of the way to let him in.
they sat down on opposite ends of the light grey sofa, facing towards eachother with a bowl of grapes in the middle, where lola had set them down before getting the door.
"i feel like we've never actually hung out one on one. this is kinda weird." lola said, matt agreeing. "yeah, but we need to more." "agreed." lola nodded.
for a little while, they sat there catching up on things going on in their lives, laughing and enjoying eachothers company. it was nice, and they both got along really well so it was easy, also the fact they are already close friends helped.
they began to tall about chris, and the whole situation that happened a few days ago. "so he's like the biggest dumbass ever is what im getting from this?" matt asked, but it sounded more like a statement. "yeah basically. but when he comes to get his hat i will literally hold him here against his will, i cant have you guys showing up to one of my shows and me and him being awkward backstage. that would just suck." "yeah i agree. uh, by the way, he is in the car right now. so i can go get him if you want?" matt offered.
"wait so youre telling me, this whole time hes been waiting for you?" "maybe." "matt oh my god! go get him right now!" she exclaimed, pushing him towards the door. "okay, okay!" he laughed, leaving to go to his minivan.
whilst lola waited, she sat on the sofa cross legged, biting her nails. now that it had come to it, she was actually pretty nervous. suddenly her front door opened, and she snapped out of her thoughts, no longer overthinking. "uh, hi." "hi chris, come in." chris hesitantly closed the door, and stepped forwards as the girl got up and walked towards him.
"so, my hat?" "yeah ill get it for you in a minute, just i need to say a few things first." "no. you dont need to say anything. i shouldnt have left, i was scared. i mean, i've never done this before, but still. i messed everything up there and i regret it because clearly theres something going on and when i finally had the chance to do something about it i-" lola smiled as chris ranted. but all of a sudden her body grew a mind of its own and started moving.
she grabbed either side of his face, looking up slightly, and pulled him down into a kiss. it was soft, and unexpected on both sides, but it felt so right. so incredibly right. as she pulled away, chris' face showed one of shock, his eyes wide and mouth slightly parted.
lola smiled, and after a few seconds chris gently grabbed her waist, pulling her in for a longer, more passionate kiss. his lips were soft against hers, and they moulded together perfectly. as the kiss went on, the hunger and passion grew, and it became more intense. they moved in sync and lolas hands moved from chris' face to the back of his head, tangling in his hair. but eventually they needed to breathe, so they pulled away from eachother simultaneously. the two were so close, their breaths colliding in the small space between.
"okay." lola spoke, barely even a whisper. "okay." he repeated at the same volume. she stepped back a bit, clearing hee throat. "i'll go get your hat." she said, now at a normal volume, walking towards her bedroom with haste, leaving chris at the door, still stunned, his mind racing.
as lola entered her room, she softly closed the door and flopped on her bed, screaming into her pillow. she coupdnt believe that just happened, and that she initiated it. what the fuck!!! composing herself, she grabbed his hat from the corner of her wardrobe, where it hung. before leaving the room, trying to be as casual as possible.
"your hat." she said, placing it on his head. "thanks." the two stood staring at eachother for a moment, before chris cleared his throat, saying he should go, as to not keep matt waiting. they hugged, lolas arms around his neck, and his hung loosely at her waist, as usual. "glad you came now?" she whispered next to his ear, he let out a soft chuckle, "yeah. very." he admitted.
as they pulled apart, chris was about to walk put the door, but looked like he was contemplating. however he seemed to let go of the though, and began to leave. lola grabbed his wrist, "chris wait." pulling him back. "yeah?" "just one more."
chris smiled, spinning his hat to be fscing backwards; and with that, her lips found their way back to his. this one wasnt as long, it was gentle and quick. their eyes fluttered closed, and when they pulled apart, chris opened his eyes, seeing her with them closed still for a few seconds, savouring the kiss before opening them. the kiss lingered on her lips when he left, closing the door behind him.
after a minutes or so, lolas fingertips brushed against her lips. the past 10 minutes setting in. she smiled at the thought.

chris slowly walked down the stairs, now not wanting to leave. the girls lipgloss had transferred slightly onto his, and the faint fruity flavour lingered.
the smile never left his face the whole way home, even though he knew he was going to have a whole interview with matt and nick once the two got back. matt didnt say anything to him for this reasomn, he could tell it was going to be good though, considering the goofy look on his brothers face.
