MIA'S POV

Days went by so fast with Gideon around, I feel safe when he hugs me, I feel worm when he smiles at me and I feel lighter whenever he comforts me. I don't really know what I feel for him but it's so worm like cup of hot chocolate on a winter morning

I feel something for the boy who sleeps next to me at night, who makes me smile, laugh and sometimes cry but in a good way. I don't know how to label this feeling, I would ask someone but who, I can't ask Gideon he'll easily find out who I'm talking about...I mean he's the only guy in my life

"Okay I need you to sit still, don't move" I nod. Today Gideon will attempt to make a painting of me

It's really hard to stay in one position for hours with no food or toilet breaks...well he does let me use the bathroom and a snack whenever I want but still my body can't take it

"You know people usually ask me to paint them naked" He says which caught me off guard

Who would want some stranger to paint them naked, well Gideon isn't really a stranger to me but I don't think I'd ever ask him to do that

"Don't you get weirded out?" I ask out of curiosity

"No, I just do my job and get paid"

"Is it mostly male or female?" I couldn't really imagine him painting a male naked, like his whole body from top to bottom

"Female, I would never paint a male naked, not now no ever, I don't care how much they are offering"

I laugh at how dramatic he is about the situation, but I also don't think I would ever paint someone naked, male or female

"Would you paint me naked though?" I ask expecting the answer to be 'no'. He stopped painting and looked at me, as if contemplating what I said

"Yes I would" I was surprised, and the way he said it...so casually like there was nothing wrong with it

"Are you serious?" he nods before going back to the painting

I don't know when and I don't know why but I actually started considering asking him to do it, which is stupid because not long ago I said I wouldn't allow it. I think the reason I said that was because I thought he wouldn't

After hours of sitting in one position he told he would continue tomorrow since he could see how uncomfortable I was

I helped him pack up his art supplies and clean up the paint. He wouldn't let me see, he said it's a surprise which is fine with me

"How about we have ice-cream for dinner?" I ask him as we walk to the kitchen, I was to lazy to cook that's pretty obvious since I suggested ice-cream for dinner

"Depends on the flavor" he says and I go check the freezer to see what flavor I have

"Chocolat mint" I say as I pull it out and show it to him

"No I don't like mint"

"Oh...I forgot" I think for a moment and look at him and I catch him staring at me which makes me blush "...so what are you thinking we should have for dinner?"

I ask since we can't have ice-cream, he walks out the kitchen and grabs his phone. At this point I'm confused, well thats until I hear him say 'I would love to order pizza' on the phone, I had to admit that was smart

"Pizza, that's smart. We'll split the coast" I say as I grab my wallet and he nods

After endlessly waiting we finally hear the doorbell ring, and Gideon offered to go get it as I went to the kitchen to grab some plates. After paying for the pizza he walks back and places it on the coffee table

"Finally I get to eat" he laughs at my words and I smile

"So what movie are we watching?" He asks as I scroll around on Netflix, I was really feeling like a comedy or action

"How about 'equalizer'?" I nod as I pressed play

We watch the movie and we would comment here and there, laugh at some point as we told stupid jokes

"I think you ate more pizza than me" He says and I laugh seeing that there was only one slice left

"Really I feel like I ate all seven slices"

"No I ate two and you ate six" My eyes widen, I knew I was hungry but I didn't know that I was this hungry

"You can have the last slice" even though it won't change the fact that I ate practically the whole box it will probably give him that satisfaction

"No thanks you can have it" I took the slice without asking questions

"Thanks" he smiles and continues to watch the movie

The way he smiled at me...it brought back the feeling, that feeling that I just don't understand, I mean his my friend, he treats me like a friend you know

I don't even think he likes me that way, he doesn't act like it at least and he probably has a girlfriend... but he has never told me about her

"What are you thinking about Mia?" I snape out of it when I hear him calling my name

"Not much just something" I lie trying to sound convincing but clearly he could see through me

"What's that something Mia?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I just blurted it out not even realizing what I asked until I asked, I don't even know if that makes any sense

"No Mia I don't" he looks directly at me "...if I had one you would have already knew about her, I wouldn't be sleeping with you in the same bed every night, I wouldn't be here with you everyday and I wouldn't be this close to any other girl"

I never really thought about it like that, I'm to use to Gideon being close to me that I ignore all the other facts that he might actually like me, more than a friend
