In Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 17: Pie To the Face

•Kacey•

I wake to the soft breath fanning over my collar bone. I open my eyes slightly to see April's head resting on my chest. In our sleep we have managed to change positions so that I'm now laying on my back and April rests half on top of me with our legs tangled together.

I smile at the adorable redhead as she mumbles in her sleep. Her red curls are sprawled in a tangled mess but she still looks beautiful. As this thought goes through my head I think back to what Clarity said.

Do I like April like that? I mean I do feel closer to her then I've ever felt to someone and I always find my mind drifting to her when she's not around? Oh my god. Does this mean that I'm gay? Or is it just April that pulls me in? I don't even care about being gay or what people will think. I just want to figure out these feelings for April. Ugh this is so stressful.

Suddenly I hear feet padding up the stairs and towards our door. I loosen my tight grip on April slightly so that my arm now rests lightly around her waist, but I don't let her go. There is a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." just loud enough for them to hear me so that I don't wake up April.

Clarity pushes the door open with a soft smile and a two cups of coffee in her hands.

"Good morning. I didn't think that you would be the one awake since you hate mornings." Clarity whispers as she sees that her friend is still asleep.

"Yeah I think she was pretty wore out after all the traveling and everything." I whisper back as she hands me a cup of coffee and sets April's cup on the nightstand beside my bed.

"I see she convinced you to cuddle before she fell asleep last night." Clarity says with a smug little smirk as I bend my arm down to set my coffee beside the bed on the floor.

"Oh hush before I throw you off a cliff." I joke with her as she laughs softly. I was just thinking about all of this crap before this weirdo and here she is again hinting at me having feelings for my best friend.

"You two need to get ready soon. Ash says we will be leaving to go do some of our activities today. But I'm heading back down stairs with Kate and Ash so don't let that one sleep for much longer." Clarity says as she saunters out of the room and shuts the door quietly behind her.

I sigh. Putting up with this shit is going to be hard. I don't know what to think anymore and Clarity doesn't help the situation at all. I can't do this. Ughhhh. But I do need to wake my Sunshine before I get in trouble with the others and we don't need her coffee getting cold before she has a chance to drink it.

"Hey Sunshine, its time to get up." I whisper softly as I rub the hand that was resting on her waist up and down her back to wake her softly.

April stirs and whines at me with a pout. She turns her face away from me, eyes still closed and half asleep, in attempt to return back to her peaceful sleep. I chuckle lightly at her adorableness.

"Sorry but Clarity has already come in here and you know that I don't like getting up either but we have to." I say turning her head back in my direction.

Finally April opens her bright blue eyes and I smile as she blinks multiple times to get use to the light. Her crystal blues stare deep into my hazel eyes and she smiles softly at me.
