An Unfortunate Turn For The Better

Chapter 5

Mitch's pov

"Stay with me" I say to Scott. My fiancé.. Or should I say ex-fiancé just broke my heart and I just want to be in the presence of someone that actually cares about me, of course he doesn't care about me the way I care about him but either way I want him here with me. He doesn't even hesitate when I ask, he just walks over and slips under the covers with me. I wrap my arms around him and rest my head on his chest. He slides his arm under my shoulders and we lay there in silence. We just lay there, enjoying each other's company. Scott cleared his throat and I looked up at him. He spoke up, "So uhm. What happened?" I could tell he was uncomfortable asking me, like he didn't want to offend me or something, it was kinda cute.

"I got mad at him for hurting you. He said it wasn't his fault and called me an ungrateful asshole..." I trailed off. I started to choke up, tears were welling up in my eyes. I was replaying the situation in my head over and over again.

"Are you kidding Mitchie? He's the ungrateful asshole. He should be so thankful that you are- that you were a part of his life, I know I am." He was staring at me while he was talking. A smile crept onto my face and he continued, "you know you're amazing right? The most perfect guy someone could ask for. Travis is insane to let you go, I would never let you go if I had you." He said that last bit quietly but I heard him, although I don't think he wanted me to hear it. What does he mean by that? Is he saying he would want to be with me? Or was it just him trying to comfort me?

Scott pov

"... I would never let you go if I had you." I didn't mean to say that out loud. Oh my god what have I done. This could ruin everything. He's staring back at me now. Do I say something? What do I say? "Mitch I-" I was cut off by his lips pressing up against mine. I immediately kissed back. He pulled back. What just happened. Does he like me? Was that just him trying to forget Travis?

"Scott?"

"Yeah?" I was afraid of what he was about to say. What if he says it didn't mean anything. That would kill me because to me, it meant the world.

"Would you ever date your bestfriend?" He smirked. He smirked at me. What's he trying to say.

I smirk back and slightly nod my head, "I've only ever thought about it every day for the past 7 years."

I don't think I've ever seen Mitch smile that big in my life. "Good to know."
