A Drew one shot for Layla, aka loetdbz423. I accidentally skipped over this one since I thought I had written it, but I didn't. I'm sorry, but here it is finally! Hope you like it love :)

_______________________________

You were always clumsy. When you were not paying attention you'd trip over your own feet, over the sidewalk, anywhere really. And Drew always teased you about it. He would poke fun at you and laugh his ass off, but you knew he was joking.

As you got up to get ready, you had not realized your laptop charger was in the way and managed to trip over that.

"And this is how I start off my day. Great!" You laughed sarcastically.

You got up and rubbed your eyes, realizing you'd fallen asleep. It was an hour nap and as you looked at the clock it was now 7:56. You glanced at you phone, the screen lighting up before dimming. You picked it up, noticing that you had a missed call and a few texts from Drew.

You decided rather than replying to his text, that you'd call instead. It seemed important and you knew he only tried to reach you like that if he needed something important.

"Yeah?" He asked as he spoke from the other end.

"You called..."

"I was going to ask you to come with me to one of my friends house. He was throwing a little get together slash bonfire kind of thing. You didn't answer, so I left." He informed you, a sinking feeling setting in your stomach.

"Oh." Was all you managed.

"But my offer still stands. I can pick you up if you want?" 

"Sure. I'll get ready while I wait." You smiled, though he wouldn't be able to see.

"Don't get too dressed up, there's a pool."

With that you two hung up and you got ready. You threw on a pair of shorts and a crop top, and covered yourself comfortably with a cute, baggy cardigan.

When Drew picked you up, he hugged you, before driving off back to his friends house. As you arrived, he introduced you to his friends. They eyes you guys mischievously and had smiles on their faces. All you knew was that you had a long time crush on your best friend and everyone assumed that you guys had a thing. 

One problem was that you guys always hung out as friends and you didn't really know if he felt the same towards you.

But it was well known to everyone else, clearly. As you guys walked by the pool, you slipped on a wet spot on the ground with your flip flops and Drew caught you from falling into the pool. 

"Thanks..." You said, your cheeks flushing from embarrassment. As the music in the back slowed to a new song, with yourself already in his arms, he twirled you around before pulling you back into his arms.

"Dance with me." He whispered.

A few others did the same, dancing along to the soothing sound of a song as the rest gathered around the fire and jumped into the pool.

You swayed back and forth with Drew, occasionally falling out of step with his rhythm.

"Sorry. I can't dance." You giggled.

"It's all good, neither can I." He laughed. His eyes bored into yours for a moment as he began to slowly lean in.

His nose grazed yours before he gently pressed his lips to yours. One of his friends jumped into the pool, splashing the both of you. You realized what is happening, not because you guys got splashed, but because Drew was kissing you. You pulled away, your hand to your forehead in confusion as you walked at a fast pace into the house.

"Shit." You muttered under your breath. You stopped in the hallway, pressing your back into the wall as you leaned.

Not long after, Drew walked in trying to find you.

"What the hell happened? Did I do something wrong?" He asked, worry in his eyes. He studied you face as your fingers still grazed your lips from his touch.

You didn't respond, your mind trying think over everything that you've assumed to be wrong. He liked you. Not as a friend but more and maybe the reason you were always so clumsy was the fact that you knew he'd be there watching you even if your were in denial.

"I, I- I'm sorry. I probably shouldn-" 

"No. I don't mind." You said, pulling him closer as you grasped hi hand in yours.

"I didn't think you liked me the way I like you." You admitted.

"We've known each other for so long, how could I not like such an amazing and inspiring girl." He said pulling you into him. His arms tightened around you as if he couldn't bear to ever let go.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked you. After two years of waiting for him to like you back, all this time he had. You were shocked as the words fell out, but your stomach did flips as you tried to recollect yourself.

"Yes. I'd love to be your girlfriend Drew" You smiled as you tip-toed to press your lips to his.
