Alex POV
It's now 3 in the morning and me and Alex are cuddled up watching a film. Jordan has her arm wrapped around me and I'm snuggled in to her. I always love this. She's my best friend, we're so close things like this aren't weird, it's just us.
Suddenly there's a knock on the door and Jordan sits bolt up right removing her arm from me.
"Hi dad." She says seeming panicky.
"Hello, just come to check on you girls. I'm heading off to bed now, mums had to stay the night at work."
"Oh ok. Night dad" She mutters looking slightly disheartened.
"Night Paul." I say smiling and pulling Jordan back to me as he closes the door. For the first time ever she removes my arms from her and sits back up, moving slightly away.
"What was that for?" I say, offended.
"Nothing I'm just hot..." She mumbles, not looking at me and playing with her hands which is what she does when she's nervous.
I know somethings up but there's no point getting in an argument with her, she'll tell me later.
Jordan POV
My hearts beating out of my chest. I know I need to say or do something but I don't know how. She's been my best friend since I moved here and we have an amazing friendship, I don't want to ruin it.
Alex looks annoyed from me rejecting her so I lay back down and put my arm back around her, to make her less suspicious. She looks so cute laying there, focusing on what's happening in the film and twiddling her fingers. I smile to myself and squeeze her slightly to remind her I love her.
When the film finishes, Alex goes to turn the light off so we can finally go to sleep. She tiredly stumbles over to the switch, flicks it off and comes running back under the covers scared of the dark. She says goodnight and rolls over to sleep.
After about an hour I still can't sleep. Alex and the problem is on my mind, blocking my body from sleeping. I have to talk to her.
Alex POV
I suddenly feel someone gently shaking me, trying to wake me up.
I slowly roll over, half asleep and groan. Jordan is only a small distance away from me her eyes wide open, she obviously hasn't slept.
"What do you want?" I say pissed off.
"I really need to talk to about something." She says not looking me in the eye.
"Go for it." I say with my eyes closed. She doesn't say anything for quite a while, with the occasional "um" and "well".
Suddenly I feel her lips make contact with mine. She's kissing me. At first I'm really confused, but then I start to kiss her back, enjoying it. When she finally pulls away she starts to cry.
"Why are you upset? You kissed me." I say sitting up to comfort her.
"I shouldn't have done that. We're best friends and even though I might want it to be more, it can't."
"But why not?"
"You know what my mum's like she would disown me."
"You don't know that." I say wiping the tears from her face.
"I do...." She says cuddling into me.
"We can do this." I say calmly, kissing her on the forehead.
