Best Friends... Always?

Mine

:Monae's POV:

I drove home and walked in the house to see everyone waiting on me. "How long did you all know?" I let more tears fall. "The week after he found out." Adrian looked down. "Wow." I looked at all of them and walked upstairs. I saw I had an incoming call from Zay and thought about whether or not I wanted to answer. "Hello?" I wiped my face closing the door to my room. "Monae are you okay?" it sounded like he was getting up. "Yea..no." I broke down again. "I'm coming over." he said before hanging up. I took off my shoes and laid in the bed. I had finally stopped crying and I was just staring at the wall. I wanted to stop crying, but they kept falling. I didn't even hear my door open, but I felt arms pull me close. I turned over and looked at Zay. I couldn't believe he would even come over here knowing I'm crying over another guy. "It's gonna be okay." he rubbed my cheek. I ran my hand through his hair and sighed. "Yea thanks." I said quietly. "I know you love him." he whispered. I looked at him. "What?" I stopped my hand. "It's ok I know I can't take his place." he rubbed my cheek again. I shook my head. "Stop Zay he's gone so I have to get over it." I sat up. "Mhm you say that now." he mumbled sitting up. He pulled me to his chest and rubbed my hair. "I can just be friends." he sighed. I was confused as to why he was saying all of this. I was about to say something to him when he let me go and held his head. "You ok?" I looked at him. "Yea just got dizzy." he looked up at me. "Have you eaten?" I turned on my lamp. "If a jr.burger counts." he smirked. I smiled and stood up. "Where you going?" he looked at me. "To eat so c'mon." I held my hand out. When we got downstairs I saw someone had ordered pizza. I got two slices of pepperoni and Zay got two slices of cheese. I looked at him as he went into the refrigerator. His muscles flexed as he got a water out. I diverted my gaze when he turned around. "Here." he handed me a water and bent down. "The next time play it off by asking a question." he whispered in my ear. I felt chills go down my back. I looked down and walked to the table. I watched as he sat and folded his pizza and bit it. I stopped staring before he saw me again and ate my pizza. Later we were watching TV when the doorbell rung. I peeked out the blinds and saw Mr. Trenton. I opened the door and he looked at me smiling. "Hello I was coming to get Caylen." he looked over my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Zay walking towards the kitchen. "For?" I asked and before he could answer Caylen came running down the steps and out the door. She closed the door before I could ask what she was doing.

"Everything ok?" Zay asked looking at me from behind the counter. "Yea I think." I walked over to him. "So what are you doing tomorrow?" he asked leaning back on the counter. "Nothing really." I sat on the counter. "Oh well if you want I could come by and we could spend the day together. " I looked at him. "Sure that's fine." I smiled. He got in between my legs and kissed my cheek. I smiled and he kissed my neck. "Zay." I pulled his head up. He smirked at me and took my hands down kissing them. His lips were so soft. I took my finger and rubbed it across his lips. All the while our eyes were locked. Zay leaned in and kissed my cheek again and came closer to my lips, but went to my neck instead. I looked up at the ceiling and closed my eyes. He started sucking on my neck and I knew a hickey would be there soon. Zay stopped and looked at me. I thought he was about to kiss my cheek again, but he pressed his lips against mine. I kissed back instantly, he pulled me to him and I felt happy like this is where I should have been, not crying because Dre left. I love him, but he's gone and friendships last right? Zay's tongue slipped in my mouth and I ran my hands through his hair. If we could have been closer we would have been. I pulled back gently and looked at Zay. "Monae I've had a thing for you ever since we bumped into each other at the nursing home." he sighed pressing his forehead to mine. I smiled and kissed his cheek. This could actually work. "You're sweet." he whispered in my ear biting it softly. I bit my lip and wrapped my arms around his neck. I leaned down slighly and kissed his neck. I pulled back to see him smiling. "Ok we should stop." I said putting my hands on his chest. "I guess." he said pecking my lips one more time and stepping back. I looked down smiling and he lifted my head up. "You're so beautiful." he looked into my eyes. I got off the counter and grabbed Zay's shirt pulling him down. "You're not to bad yourself." I smirked. I let go of him and walked towards the stairs. "Nae where you going?" he asked pulling my hand. "Upstairs. " I pointed and he followed me back to my room. I went in the bathroom and brushed my teeth. "Don't like my taste." Zay said standing in the bathroom doorway. I smiled and rinsed my mouth out. "No I just didn't want to have pizza breath." I smiled turning off the light and closing the door. I walked towards my bed and got back in. I looked at Zay as he looked out the window. "Well I'll se you tomorrow Nae." he leaned down and pecked my cheek. "Noo wait stay a while longer." I held his shirt. He miled at me and walked to the other side of the bed. I turned towards him as he brushed my hair back with his hand. "So what are we doing?" he broke the silence. "Taking things slow." I touched his nose.
