3:34 p.m., for the first time in a long time I'm not running late, in fact, I'm more than an hour early. I get out of the car and head to my best friend's house; I ring the bell, his mom opens telling me that he hasn't come back from work yet, but she lets me in and tells me I can wait on his bedroom. It's 3:40 p.m., and Daniel's mom tells me she's going out but Daniel will be here soon, I say goodbye and wait.
It's 3:56 p.m. and the door next door slams shut, —must be Jennifer—; I've been waiting here for twenty two minutes, and I'm already bored; I close my eyes and as soon as I start to fall asleep, I hear some music, and a girl singing as loud as she cans, and I can't sleep.
It's 4:00 p.m. and another song is playing, I like this one, In fact, I know the lyrics of the song, it goes "met this girl late last year, she said don't you worry If I disappear...", I think it is an Ed Sheeran's song, that man is great.
It's 4:03 p.m. and I get thirsty, I get up and go to the kitchen, I've been in this house so many times that I know exactly where is every single thing. I get a cup of water, and the I go upstairs; Damn, another Ed Sheeran's song. This one is "Nina", I like that song.
Before I get into Daniel's room, I see Jennifer singing the songs lyrics, and also dacing around, I chuckle; she looks so cute and funny.
It's 4:05 p.m. and I've decided to go and talk to Jenn, I mean, I know her. She is singing the last lines of the song and "Thinking Out Loud" is now playing; she's no longer dancing, she's just singing the lyrics, and moving around the room to the slow rhythm of the music. Damn, she looks gorgeous, I've known her for four years, and I've seen her turn into this beautiful lady. Curly long dark chocolate hair, green eyes, long lashes, she's kinda short —well, at least for me—, but she looks so beautiful.
It's still 4:05 p.m. and a blushed face gets me out of my thoughts; all I can do is laugh, and she blushes even more. She holds the door and before she can close it I get inside of her room."What the hell?, I thought I was alone. I mean, how long you've been here?" She looks at me so ashamed.
"Well, long enough to know you like A LOT, Ed Sheeran." All I get is a even more red face, than before, and I laugh, God, she's so cute. "So what? You're no longer singing and dancing?" I say with a smirk, she laughs.
"No. What are you doing here?" She asks sitting on her bed, then inviting me to sit next to her.
"Well, I came here because your brother is my best friend, and yeah, I haven't seen him in like a month, wanted to see him. But for the first time in 19 years I came early, and I kinda regret it." I say as I seat; she laugh.
"Idiot." She shutters. "You've been here for like less than half an hour... why you would regret it. Like, it's no big deal."
"Actually I was here twenty two minutes before you arrived, so I kind of regret not being late."
"Kind?" She asks confused.
"Yup, I don't regret watching you dance and hearing you sing... But I wouldn't recommend you to be a singer, though." I laugh.
She stares at me in silence for a second. "Wait, are you flirting with me?"
Damn, she's cute, and gorgeous, but a little slow at realizing things. "No, you're like a sister for me." I say in a serious tone, even though I was totally flirting with her.
"Oh. So, you know..." She looks so embarrassed, shit, I shouldn't have said that! "Uhmm... Daniel should be soon." Her glance goes down to the floor, she's so embarrassed. Well done Shawn, you totally screwed it. "I think you should..."
And then I don't let her finish what she was about to say, cause as soon as she started saying that four words I leaned on and kissed her, she seemed really surprised, but at the same time relived, and then she kissed me back.
