"Sorry about my mum. Uh, she's kinda crazy."
Trying to explain and apoligise about my mother's behavior wasn't something new. It was something that happened every time I brought someone home whether it was a friend or not.
"Oh no it's fine. She seems pretty cool if you ask me though."
I looked up at Arlo to see him smirking. He had the nerve to start smirking and humiliating me further about what my mum was saying an-
"I'm in trouble,
I'm an addict,
I'm addicted to this girl."
While I was having my mental rant about Arlo's audacity to smirk at me, he had grabbed my phone and put my music on and then proceeded to sing.
"She's got my heart tied in a knot,
And my stomach in a whirl.
Even though I can't stop calling her,
She's all I want and more.
I mean damn,
What's not to adore?"
"Arlo, really? I would never have expected you to want this played."
I had paused the song much to Arlo's dismay.
"Hey, don't hate, relate."
And that is how we ended up singing the song full pelt. And as it started to end only then did I realise how close we had ended up.
We were almost touching noses.
I could see all the specks in his mossy green eyes. Every freckle that covered the bridge of his nose and slightly dispersed onto his high prominent cheek bones. To his full pink lips that left my mouth drooling at the sight of them slowly becoming bigger.
Wait his lips were getting bigger. Oh god! He's leaning in! Is he going to kiss me!? What do I do!? Do I lean in too, or wait for him to come to me!? What if I-
My train of thought was interrupted by a loud bang. Turning around away from Arlo I see my brother standing there.
"Uh, dinners ready but I mean if you already ate man..."
Wholey guacamole!! Freaking Levi was meaning- ugh! How could he say that!?
Arlo's face was now a deep shade of red at the insinuation of what my brother had said. Slowly he turned to my brother and stumbled on his words not knowing what to say.
"Ew! Levi get out. We'll be down in a second."
Turing off the music we went downstairs to where all hell was about to break loose.
