Second Chances

Chapter Five

I opened my eyes the next morning and was greeted by the gorgeous face of Christian.

I almost forgot I invited him to sleep in here with me.

He moved around and opened his gorgeous green eyes.

"Hello there Blue," he says, looking fucking adorable when he's half asleep.

"Good morning Christian."

We heard the front door slam and we froze. Moments later Jackson burst through Christian's bedroom door.

"Hey Chris I-Oh shit! Sorry!" He yelled and ran out of the room.

I laughed. Jackson was so funny.

I swung my legs out of the bed and set my feet on the floor.

Christian got out of the bed and kneeled in front of me.

"You're not proposing are you?" I asked, half kidding.

"Not after three days Blue. I just wanted to tell you that I've really liked you for a long time. Ever since kindergarten when you were wearing pigtails and a jumper. I wanted you to talk to me and I panicked, so I flashed everyone you're underwear."

I smiled, closed my eyes, and shook my head.

"Can I tell you a secret?" I whispered to him.

He nodded.

"I like you too, after these couple days. And if you woulda acted the way you're acting a long time ago, we coulda been together a long time ago."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Dammit."

I laughed and slid off the bed.

"What are you doing today?" Christian asked me.

"I'm probably going to hang out with Eva."

"You're going to leave me?" Christian asked, poking out his bottom lip.

"Awww. You're so cute," I said and he walked over to me.

He came from behind me, put his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.

"How cute?"

"Really cute."

I felt him smile behind me.

"Now scooch so I can get dressed."

He moved, but didn't leave.

"Nice try. Out. Your friend is waiting."

He groaned and left the room.

When i was done getting dressed, I walked out the kitchen with Christian and Jackson.

"Hey there beautiful. Having a nice morning?" Jackson asked.

"Don't start with the bullshit, Jackson." Christian said and I started laughing.

I felt my phone vibrate and reached into my pocket to answer it. Eva.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sky, how would you feel if told you I was outside?"

"I would say you're a creep."

"Not a loving best friend?"

"That too."

"Well, I'm outside."

"I'll be out there soon."

"You're leaving?" Christian asked, looking genuinely sad.
