Barns Courtney One-Shots

The Record Store

My phone buzzed in my pocket as I was washing the dishes. I got excited, hoping it was Barns. He worked at the local record store and we kinda have became good friends. Ever since summer he and I have hung out now and then. But recently he has been busy working due to the holiday season. I always go in twice a week to see him tough. Not just because he's my friend, but because I have a crush on him. I honestly caught feelings for him quite quickly. It has been months, but I still haven't told him how I feel. Not knowing how he feels about me has been driving me crazy. But I'm so afraid that he doesn't feel the same way. I fished washing the dishes and dried my hands before looking at my phone. When I saw it was Barns I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

Barns: Hey, are you awake?

Me: Yeah, why?

Me: How have you been btw?

Barns: I just wanted to know. I'm actually on my way over. Hope you don't mind. Hahaha.

Barns: I'm doing alright. What about you?

Me: I'm okay too. Oh, okay! I'll see ya in a little bit then.

Barns: I'll see you in a little bit. :)

I put my phone back into my pocket and dried the dishes. By the time I finished spitting them away there was a knock on the door. I smiled happily when I looked out and saw Barns standing there. I opened the door and was met with a cold breeze. He was wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and the black hat he had recently started wearing. His curly brown hair was leaking out from underneath the hat. The brim of which had a few snowflakes on top. "Get your shoes on. And a warm jacket too." He said with a smile. No hello or hi, but he really didn't have to say those things. I already knew he was coming. "What?" I asked curiously with furrowed brows. "Just trust me." He said softly with a sparkle in his blue eyes. "Okay." I replied with a small laugh. I put my  shoes on before slipping on a hoodie. Then I made sure I had my keys before following him.

When we got outside I was shocked. Snowflakes the size of feathers were pouring from the sky. Sidewalks and roads were covered with snow. I didn't even know we were supposed to get this much snow! The glow from street lamps and Christmas lights looked absolutely magical. There wasn't a single sound outside; so quiet it was almost deafening. "You walked to my apartment in a full blown snow storm?" I asked in somewhat disbelief. But then again, he wasn't a predictable man. Always so spontaneous. "Yeah, but I wanted to see my favorite girl." He said with a smile and I felt butterflies in my stomach. He gently took my hand and started dancing with me. I giggled softly as I danced along with him. If anyone saw us they probably thought we were drunk or something. We danced and he spun me around a few times.

The only sound was the squeaky of our shoes in the snow and our giggles. Our breaths were little clouds of vapor in the chilly air. When we stopped we wrapped our arms around each other. His cheeks and nose were a little pink from the cold. His beautiful blue eyes looked breathtaking. Everything about him looked so beautiful to me. We stayed like that for a while and I admired his beauty. My eyes glanced down at his lovely big lips and blushed. I desperately hoped that the cold hid my blush a little. "Let's go inside." He said softly after a few moments of comfortable silence. It was getting a little too cold outside and the snow was coming down harder. Once we were inside my apartment, I made us hot chocolate. We sat on the couch and watched movies as we snuggled under a blanket.

After a while I glanced over at him wondering if he knows how I feel. He must have noticed me  because he turned to look at me. When we made eye contact I blushed. He smiled softly at me and my eyes drifted to his lips and back. His eyes did the same to me, which gave me butterflies. He slowly moved closer to me and I moved closer to him. My heart was beating so loud I'm surprised he didn't hear it. Our noses brushed gently before our lips met. The way he kissed was so soft and gentle. I shyly kissed him back. When we looked at each other afterwards I snuggled into his chest to hide my blushing face. He laughed softly as he gently tightened his arms around me. "You look so cute when you blush" He said softly.

I gently tightened my arms around him. He kissed the side of my head and played with my hair a little. I looked back up at him, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Especially from the look in his eyes. I felt like the luckiest person alive.
