My recovery

"I think we should go check on her." April says, standing up.

"It's okay, she just needs some air. She'll be back." Jon says while chowing down his waffles.

Celeste nods in agreement.

April sighs. "I guess."

Celeste's phone rings suddenly, causing her to jump and pick it up right away. "Hello?"

April and Jon glance at each other before turning their attention back to her.

"Yeah, of course." She smiles and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'll be right there."

She bites her lip. "Okay, okay. See you." She blows a kiss to the phone before hanging up.

April cocks an eyebrow. "Seth?"

Celeste blushes. "How'd you know?"

"Just go." Jon says. "Nothing's stopping you."

"You sure?" She asks.

"Positive." April agrees. "Now go have fun. Text me the details later."

Celeste winks at her in response before exiting the room.

As soon as the door shuts, Jon awkwardly clears his throat.

April rolls her eyes and turns to him. "Yes?"

He nonchalantly looks around. "I didn't say anything."

She chuckles. "Oh whatever. I'm gonna go shower, so you wait out here and do...whatever it is you do."

"That's boring, why don't you just stay out here and watch tv with me or something?"

"You wanna hang out that bad?"

"As friends." He smiles.

"As friends." She repeats.

He takes the last bite of his waffle and takes his plate to the sink.

She hesitantly places herself down on the sofa and switches the television on with the remote.

He joins her and smiles at her once he sits down.

April makes sure that there's always some sort of gap between the two, while Jon always thinks of closing it.

Giving up, she moves closer to him and he slings an arm around her shoulder.

She looks up at him and gazes as he's focusing himself to the screen in front of them.

He eventually catches her eye, causing her to blush and immediately look away.

He chuckles a bit and strokes her cheek with his hand, causing her to turn to him again.

As soon as they lock eyes, they both moved in, soon connecting their lips.

The kiss feels electric. The sparks are flying between the two.

A sudden noise breaks them out of their trance.

"Hello?" Jon answers his cell. He looks panicked.

April starts questioning what possibly could be wrong right now.

"Yeah. Yup...okay." He sighs and hangs up the phone.

"What is it?" April asks, widening her eyes.

"It's Saraya."
