Best Friends and Boy Friends

Chapter 10 - Was The Beginning

KEVIN

She pulled me by the arm to her bedroom. This was every guys dream right? Being taken to an empty private bedroom by a hot girl to enjoy some alone time. Well not mine. This was my idea of a nightmare. I was too shy to even talk to her. Her perfume alone made me anxious. My stomach was turning (in a good way) and don't even get me started on how excited my man between my legs felt. Oh boy. I couldn't handle the sight of her in that red dress. Angry or not, she was still looking beautiful.

I sat down on the bed nervously while she sat next to me. Our legs slightly touched and I flinched away immediately. My body couldn't handle the sparks I felt under her touch. I needed some liquid courage if I was even going to look at her. I took a sip from my beer and couldn't help but notice it tasted a bit off. It was too strong to be beer but I took more sips anyway.

"Why did you come here if your just going to ignore me?"

She asked the question I was dreading. I continued to stare at the ground, thinking of a way to answer. What I wanted to say was:

"I came to this party to tell you I think your the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and I haven't stopped thinking about you since we met and I was just wondering if you'd consider going out with me sometime or maybe we can be friends I just really want to get to know you."

But I'm way too shy to tell her that. She would definitely reject me. What really came out was:

"I-I-I just c-came along w-with Aaron." Pathetic I know.

I noticed her body relax beside me and she left out a long sigh. I could tell she was trying to stay calm. I could get a small scent of alcohol off her and I knew she wasn't fully sober. Hopefully she wouldn't remember how pathetic I am in the morning.

I felt the alcohol go straight to my head. It most definitely wasn't beer. Vodka perhaps. My head started to spin and my vision become slightly blurry. I could barely make out the concerned look on Ciara's face as she asked me if I was okay.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. Look, I'm sorry Ciara. I'm not ignoring you I just - I well - I.." The drink has given me some courage but not enough. God I wish I was less shy. Maybe another sip will do the trick.

"I'm just shy and and - kind of afraid I don't r-really know how to say this.."

A look of confusion was plastered across her face that turned quickly to one of revelation and excitement.

"Oh my god I get it now. You're gay!" What?! Oh no no no!!

"Wha-"

"It's okay Kev! I support you. I always wanted a gay friend! It explains a lot really - you seem to get shy whenever Aaron is around and you must have felt jealous towards me for getting Aaron's attention-"

My head was spinning faster and faster as Ciara continued with her wild assumptions. She was rambling adorably as if she had just figured out the solution to a world mystery. I couldn't help but laugh at her ridiculous idea as well as how satisfied she seemed about realising it. But I couldn't let her believe that nonsense for another second.

"Ciara, I -"

"How long have you liked him for? Does he know? Oh my god Kev this is amazing I can't believe I thought you hated me. Don't be afraid or anything, it's okay. I'm here for you."

With those kind words, she joined her hand with mine and intertwined our fingers. In my now semi-drunken state I still felt the effects of her touch on me. I can't believe she thinks I'm gay!? And that I like Aaron. Ew the thought of it makes me want to gag. God only knows how many girls have touched off him.

"I ame-" My eyes began to close as I felt more of the alcohol go to my head.

"It's okay Kev, it's okay. Your pretty drunk right now so I'll let you lie down up here to cool off. Don't worry your secret is safe with me."

She got up off of the bed beside me and walked towards the door. The last sound I heard was the door click and the last thought I had was She thinks I'm gay?! before my eyes fully shut and I dazed off into a dreamless sleep.

So that was the beginning Ciara and I's story. It's one hell of a story with many ups and downs but in that moment she was my sexy, friendly, beautiful crush and I was her new, weird gay friend.
