Chapter 10

Today's quote is: "One day, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else"

I quickly turned around resting my hand on top of my heart, I calm down when I see it's only Pablo. Wait, how did he get inside?!

"Not being rude or anything... but how did you get in and what are you doing here" I asked him raising my voice.

"You know, it's not safe to leave your keys outside, someone could have got inside" He said, waving my keys in the air. Oh, I didn't even notice the fact that I didn't have them with me.

"Okay that was kind of stupid on my part, I admit but you didn't answer my second question bud!"

"I am here because you are avoiding me like the plague and I want to know why"

"Well, I don't want to tell you the reason and I think you should cover your neck, not everyone wants to see that" I say, a scowl on my face.

"What are you-Oh that? Well my niece thought it was fun to play a prank on me with my mother's vacuum. Why, you were jealous?" He said, a knowing look on his face.

"I was not"

"Yes you were"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Okay, maybe I was" I mumbled, a pink tint to my cheeks.

"That's cute" Who knew pink could become red so quickly? He only looked at me and laughed.

"So now that you're here... movie marathon?

"You bet"

We were watching our third movie when I felt something hit the side of my face, something soft, but I just ignore it.

I feel it again, ignore it.

Again

And again, I finally turn around, my mouth open so that I can start yelling at him when one of the soft candies enters my mouth.

I choke and start coughing violently, tears coming out of my eyes, and then it finally goes down, I just swallowed an entire marshmallow. I turn around and find him crying, but not because he felt bad, in fact, he found it hilarious. He was crying of laughter.

"What the heck?" I ask him angrily.

He slowly gets up, slowly starting to get away from me, hoping I wouldn't notice.

"Run"

How did we end up in my bathtub, me on top of him, completely freezing you ask?

Well the idiot thought it would be a good idea to run inside the bathroom and block the door with his body while I pushed with all my strength. He let go and jumped inside the bathtub, keep in mind that it was the living room bathroom and that one is so small that the bathtub is practically directly in front of the door. So when he jumped inside the bathroom I was still pushing, which made me run inside and fall inside the bathtub, opening the shower cap.

It was freezing but I wasn't thinking about that, I was thinking about the fact that I was laying on top of my crush, whose chest is very firm. I stopped moving and looked up, to my surprise he was already staring at me, as if admiring the most precious painting in the whole world.

"What are you staring at?" I asked nervously.

"My mother taught me that it was okay to stare at beautiful stuff"

"What does that have to do with me? I'm not beautiful" I said embarrassed, looking down.

His fingers lifted my chin, making me stare into his eyes.

"Don't you ever think you are anything less than beautiful, okay, you don't have a model's body, and you don't have perfect teeth or plumb lips. You don't look like Cara Delevigne or Kylie Jenner, and you may look ugly to a Tom, Dick or Harry, but to me, you're beautiful, don't ever doubt that" He says, I look into his eyes, expecting to see that he is lying, but only see honesty.

I smile and a tear slowly trails down my left cheek, then, I grab his neck and kiss him.

This is the real world, this is not a movie so I cannot say that I felt sparks, that I felt electricity running down my spine, but I can say that I felt hot inside, I did feel dinosaurs running around my stomach. I felt happy, I felt lucky and for the first time in my life I felt like everything was perfect.

But then we had to pull away, we had to breathe. I looked at him, panting and with pink cheeks.

"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have just kissed you like that but I'm not going to lie, I really like you and I can't say I regret it, it's okay if you never want to talk to me again, I understand" I say, looking down.

When he lifts my chin up again I realize I hadn't even looked at him before assuming that he would want to forget about our friendship, I see a pink tint on his cheeks, a giant smile on his face and bright eyes.

"Why would you assume that? Of course I still want to talk to you! I have wanted to do that for a really long time now, but I didn't have the courage for it." He said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Really?" I asked hopefully.

"Really, I've liked you for a long time now, I just didn't know what to do about it" He said.

"Wow, we're probably going to have to talk about that but we're going to get sick, we completely forgot about the shower. I think I have some of Chris's clothes here from the time he left them at my locker, just go inside the room and grab a towel while I tidy this up" I said, already dreading having to clean this mess.

"Okay"

I get out of the bathtub so that he can do the same, go inside the bedroom, get clothes for him and grab my pink fluffy robe. I go inside the bathroom and look around, looks like I'm going to have fun cleaning this.

I clean the floor with a mop, and organize the bottles that fell inside the bathtub, then I realise that we managed to get water in the mirror and get a cleaning cloth.

After I'm finished I go inside the bedroom to find Pablo lying on the bed sleeping in Chris's sweatpants, no shirt. Guess it didn't fit. I grab my clothes and get changed inside my bedroom's bathroom, you never know if he's faking or not.

I get dressed in Chris's shirt that Pablo didn't wear and booty shorts, the shirt reaches the middle of my thigh.

I turn of the lights and lay down beside Pablo, I cover us with the blankets and give him a quick peck on the forehead. I turn over and start falling asleep, the last thing I feel before closing my eyes are strong arms pushing me towards a warm chest and legs intertwining between my own.

I slept like a lion.
