Blake's P.O.V.

Her hand brushed against mine as she took her coat and I smirked when I saw her cheeks flush red. She muttered quietly to herself, too quietly for me to hear unfortunately. I smirked as she scurried out, staring after her, even after the door had slammed shut. A throat cleared from behind me and I turned to see a knowing smile on Jasper's face, "so you two finally got it out of your system huh?" I shook my head and walked over to punch him but he dodged "shuddup".

Anna's P.O.V.

"Lila come on open the door." no answer again. I knocked on the door yet again, my knuckles burning. "LILA" I yelled and the door opened the door, revealing a shirtless guy with mussed hair "can you keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep you know" I raised my eyebrows "it's 4 in the afternoon". The guy shrugged "I'm working the night shift" he explained as Lila's door finally opened. Beth emerged, with a wet patch on the left shoulder of her shirt, and a disgusted look on her face "Anna, I have nothing against her or anything but, crying girls, not exactly..." she trailed off and stepped out of the doorway to let me o past "I'll hang out with the sexy shirtless guy whilst you talk" she shouted behind me and I looked to see her flirting shamelessly with the boy from across the hall. I shook my head with a small laugh as I entered Lila's room.

"Lila" I spoke quietly and her gaze snapped up to me, tear stains on her cheeks. "Lila, I'm sorry I lied but I-" "but what Anna? "I don't know" I admitted truthfully "I guess, I didn't know why I'd had the dream and I was kind of ashamed and I guess, if I'd told you it would make it more real. I know there's no excuse but" Lila stood up from the bed and interrupted me 'I guess I could forgive you" she sniffed "on one condition" she bargained , a smile beginning to make its way onto her face again. "You tell me the exact details of what happened and then the actual kiss." she said slyly and my eyed flew open "how do you know about that?" I asked her and her eyebrows furrowed. "The dream? That's what ju-"  "no, the kiss?" Her smile reappeared "I didn't, but I do now!" she squealed excitedly "tell me, how was it to kiss the hottest guy to ever have graced the planet" "yes, do tell" Beth's voice came from behind me, and I turned to see her stood in the doorway, her fingers entwined with shirtless guy. "Hey I gotta go" he told her and she smiled as he leant in to peck her, she deepened it and he pulled away blushing, "err, yeah" he stammered before disappearing down the hallway, "aww, how cute" me and Lila cooed in unison as Beth jumped onto the bed next to us, with a grin. "I know! Now, what's this I hear about a kiss?" she arched a brow and I groaned, allowing my head to drop into my hands.

"And after somebody told him about a dream, not looking at anybody in particular BETH" in a normal situation, the accused would have blushed but Beth simply grinned "I had to, you were getting no where and you two are like a reality show, except, I like you two." I sighed and continued "well he brought it up and then..." I explained the rest to them, and by the end they both had huge grins on their faces. "Awww that is so cute" Lila squealed, for the second time. "You are definitely forgiven with that story, I mean, I would have forgiven you anyway but..." she trailed off and I laughed, pulling my friends into a hug. "EWWW" Beth groaned "you know I'm not a hugger?" "Beth?" I asked "yeah" her voice was muffled by my shoulder "you're forgiven".

"GOLDFISH" Blake greeted me from the sofa "where you been?" he asked me and I blushed. What did that mean? Had he missed me, or- I cut my thoughts off, one kiss and I was already acting like one of those obsessed girls in the romance novels that Claire read. "I was just out" I told him, slipping off my shoes to reveal my metallic purple toenails. I wiggled them as I walked to the sofa , wanting to lean into Blake but not sure if I should. I settled on perching on the arm of the sofa awkwardly. "What are we watching?" I asked, and looked at him to see his eyebrows raised. "Goldfish, there is no need to perch on the arm of the chair like a statue, I don't bite. Unless you want me to" he teased and I blushed as I slid onto the chair. What are we watching?" I repeated, and he smiled, gesturing to the telly as The Big Bang Theory theme tune began to play.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state

But nearly 14 billion years ago expansion started wait

The earth began to cool

The auto somethings began to drool

Neanderthals developed tools

We Built a wall

We built a PYramid

and Maths, Science, History

unravelling the mystery that all started with the Big Bang

BANG

I sang along with the song happily, ignoring Blake's chuckles and he clapped "That was amazing goldfish" he laughed and I hit him lightly "shut up" his teasing smile dropped "That hurt" he whined rubbing his arm. "Don't be a wuss" I laughed, but my eyes widened in fear when he looked at me, his eyes smouldering. I stood up from the sofa carefully, holding my hands out, as if to try and calm him somehow. "A wuss? A WUSS?" he stood up, with a mischievous glint in his eye and I gulped, before running off down the corridor and out of the door.

However, I was more academic than sporty, and soon enough Blake's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back into him. I twisted around so I was facing him, my cheeks flushed as I tried to catch my breath. The close proximity to Blake perhaps wasn't helping though. My breathing calmed, and I automatically licked my lips as I stared into his eyes. Then it hit me, he was the player, what if I was just another girl on his list. How had I not realised this before? As his lips met mine, my thoughts flew out of the window, and he as he set me on the floor, I turned fully to face him as I melted into the kiss. My worries could wait for later.
