❛ BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS BUT
NOTHING CHANGES, THEY JUST
KISS SOMETIMES. ❜

REINA LAID FACE DOWN on her bed, currently processing what just happened the last 24 hours.

she didn't know what to make of tonight. just thinking about it made her roll around in her bed, bashing her head up and down into her fluffy blankets, trying to keep composure. she was horribly failing, as the bright smile that appeared on her face was making her face hurt.

she grabbed her phone and went onto her camera roll, looking at all the photos she took from tonight - ones of her and connor, and some candid ones of him, too. she couldn't stop smiling, which she hated, but loved at the same time.

REINA'S POV!

he knew me so well - almost better than i did myself.

he knew i would stress out about last night's events, the fact that we kissed and we didn't really talk about it afterwards. he knew i'd be pacing in my room, and knew that we needed to talk about it.

my mother came knocking on my door, telling me that she was going to connor's house to hang out with anne. it took roughly ten minutes ( about the time she would arrive at connor's ) before i got a text message from him.

it was short and simple. me, him, sunset drive, our spot, tonight. and of course, knowing my mother was gone, i took the chance to suggest we take my dad's car.

to really understand just how thought out his plan was, you need to know that he knew how much i loved being the passenger whilst he drove. he was able to drive us to our spot, which was a high point on a hillside, near the upper class area where all the rich houses were. it had the perfect view of the horizon.

"i still don't know how you managed to pull this off," i laughed, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"wow, so much for having faith in me, rei."

he knew i loved ice cream. he knew that it would be slightly awkward after our kiss - but he also knew that it didn't need to be. not only did he bring my favourite ice cream flavour, he also brought it to distract me. he knew i needed to be doing something to hide my awkwardness.

we sat on the hood, with frank ocean's pink + white playing lowly on the stereo. i had just finished my ice cream, and we made small talk - which almost never happened.

i stole a glance at him, noticing that he was fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. i decided not to say anything.

we were both understandably nervous, but for entirely different reasons.

"the sunset's so pretty," i muttered, staring into the sky where mixtures of pink, yellow, and orange said their goodbyes, welcoming the array of blues for the night.

connor hummed. "very pretty."

suddenly, he got off the hood and stood in front of me, blocking me view. i looked up at him curiously, "con what are you doing?"

"i, uhm," he sighed. "i wasn't talking about the sunset."

i stayed quiet, surprised at his words. connor continued to fidget with his hands. "you're very pretty - extremely pretty. and - and i took you here to ask you something - and i'll be totally cool with whatever your answer is."

he finally made eye contact with me. he gently grabbed my hands before taking a deep breath in and out.

"reina, will you be my girlfriend?"

he knew my answer. which, albeit is quite confident of him, but then again, who didn't already know my answer? it was obvious from my smile and immediate nod - and if that wasn't obvious enough, then the kiss we shared after that spoke volumes.

"ha! told you i'd get a round two."

"oh shut up, fetus."

"you love me."

"unfortunately," i smiled.
