I woke up that morning in a very good mood. I turned over to see Josh who was still fast asleep. He looked so cute sleeping. I thought over the events of last night. I told Josh about my family. Awkward. And then I kissed him. Wait...I kissed him! I kissed Josh!! Did I kiss him, or did he kiss me? Did he want to? Did I want to? I had to admit I did like it. But Josh was just my friend. I don't like him. Well at least I don't think I do....

I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, questions still running through my mind. I decided to take a quick shower.

"We were young. We were in our teens. It wasn't real love, spent behind bars." I sang to myself whilst washing my hair.

"Just crash, fall down. I'll wrap my arms around you now." I sang again, thinking about the lyrics.

"Just crash, it's our time now, to make this work second..time..around..." I heard a voice from outside sing with me. Josh?

I quickly got out and chucked on some trackies and top. Then I tied my hair up in a high bun. When I walked out into my bedroom, i found Josh laid on my bed watching the tv.

"I like your singing." He said winking at me.

"That was embarrassing." I laughed.

"Well I thought it was very nice." He said.

"Thank you." I replied.

I sat down at my dressing table to sort out my hair.

Then Josh's expression turned serious."Listen, Lauren, about last night..." Josh started to say.

"Josh." I interrupted him. "It's fine, I understand if you didn't want to kiss me. And if you just want to forget about it then that's fine too. I know it probably meant nothing to you and was just because you sorry for me, but if you do, please don't. I'm fine. And also if...." I blurted out before he stopped me.

"Lauren wait."

I paused and took a deep breathe.

"The kiss. I don't know. It felt, special. Like it was meant to happen or something. And I liked it. But I understand if you don't feel the same way."

I couldn't believe it, a guy actually liked me kissing him. 'I liked it.' His words kept running through my mind. I didn't know what to say. I felt so happy.

"Josh....I....I didn't know you felt like that." I looked at the floor to hide myself blushing. He must have taken it the wrong way when he said:

"Yeah it's fine, you must feel differently. Sorry, don't worry I'll just forget about it. I'll be in my room while you get changed."

"No..I..." I stuttered.

Then he was gone. He totally had the wrong idea. I did like him. A lot.
