Especially you

Yeah, if I get a kiss.

Chapter 4. "Yeah, if I get a kiss"

CHLOES POV.

Wasn't it obvious? That I had a crush on Red. I thought she knew, but I'd never expect her to like me back.

We were still sitting on the couch, discussing how we never noticed this. Us.
- I was just knew you were straight, so I tried to treat you like I do with all my friends. I said, straining her hair behind her ear, with my blue nails.

- Wait, so you saying you're THAT touchy with all your friends? Red said, looking at me questioning.

- Hmm, yeah, some of them, the ones I feel comfortable with. I felt myself smiling, I couldn't stop doing that being around Red.

- Chloe, I have to ask. You know when I asked you about your ex, that girl. You said you broke up with her because she didn't give you the time of day, but that's exactly me!

- Red, calm down, that's so literally NOT you.
- But it is....
- Okay. So who made me pancakes? Who's the one that's rude to literally everyone except me?

- I don't know Chloe, I'm not a good person in so many ways, and you haven't seen all my sides yet, Red said looking down at her nails.

I took her hands in mine.
- Red, look at me. You are nothing like my ex, I know that you care about me, and I feel like I'm meant to understand you. Like I'm put on this earth to be the one who understands you, when the whole world doesn't.

- Stop Chloe, you're way too good for me. I could never be that for you, even if I really want to.

- Red, you already are. Don't be afraid to show me your darker sides, I'm here for it all. I'm not going anywhere.

- Chloe, you've known me a few weeks.
- Yes, and I've also already been with you every second of those past weeks. We can deny it Red, but I think the universe is going to pull us together anyways.

She looks at me, squeezing my hand a little.

- So where gonna give this a shot? She says, almost tearing up.

- Yes, I think we should. And also, I love that you feel like you can open up to me like this.

I smiled, almost tearing up myself. I already felt so much for this girl. I could never love someone that was easy, I had way too much love inside of me to do that.

-

- Chloe! Can I borrow your blue hoodie? I heard Red scream from inside the bathroom.
- Sure, I yelled back, finishing up the last pieces of my makeup, getting ready for class.

The door swung open, Red faced me. Her brown hair, and the pretty pink stripes was in a low ponytail. She wore my Marin blue hoodie with black pants. Her makeup was freshly done, seeing her highlighter sparkling from across the room. She smiled, and butterflies were released in my stomach.

- You look stunning, love. I said, still staring at her.
- Love? Red said, smirking. She started walking towards me.

- Yes, love. I said confidently.
- I kinda like that, but don't tell anybody. She said wrapping her arms around me.
- You're such a dork, I said pushing her away playfully.
- Shut up Chloe, let's go to class. Red said, collecting her things.

We walked down the hallway, our hands slightly touching as we walked, sending shivers up my spine.

Suddenly I got really, really nervous. How would I act? We only started kind of dating last night, but it wasn't official. We were gonna take things slow. But how did we act in school? In public?

I noticed Red thinking the same thought. I watched her looking down at our hands, then looking apologetically at me. "Sorry" she mouthed.

I smiled. I smiled a lot lately.

In class we intertwined our hand under the table, hoping no one would notice. It felt so special, it felt like I was dreaming. I could barely get any sleep, I felt like I was walking on clouds.

It was such a rush, liking someone as deep as Red. She was not like any other person I ever met before. She had this thick walls, she didn't want anyone to get through. She had her privacy, her own life where she was the ruler. She didn't need anyone else in it, she liked her space and her alone time. I was the opposite. I guess opposites attract.

Even if I was the complete opposite, I still felt like I knew her reasons why. Her reasons to be acting like she does sometimes, not wanting anyone too close. It was her way of coping, she was used to a small group. Her and her mom had to survive on their own, growing a special bond.

She only gave in to people, giving her these bonds, and no one did. They got the idea of her being a bitch and being slightly rude. They just didn't get her, but I did. And I had so much love to give.

-

- Chloe?
- Yes love?
- What was the name of your ex?

I sat up from laying on Reds stomach in her bed. I stared at her, my brows furrowed.
- Why do you want to know that?
- I don't know, I guess it's just been bugging me, thinking I'm like her.

- Ohmygosh, Red you're not! Not at all! Stop asking about her, let it go! I answered slightly annoyed.
- Just tell me then I'll stop.
- Anastasia, so you happy? I said lying back down on her stomach.

- Yeah, if I get a kiss.
I smiled again, sitting up pecking her lips with mine.
- Now I'm happy.
