I pretend not to have been dying for him to touch me and carry on.
"Okay so we need peanut butter, obviously ." I say looking at him.
"Grab the stuff as I list. " I tell him sharply.
"Sure. " He says reaching for the peanut butter
"Sugar."
"Flour. "
"Baking soda. "
"Baking powder."
"Vanilla essence."
"You done? " He says as he stretches out to touch me. I move away frantically and I hear him chuckle.
"Let's get to work. "
"I am just the best Baker ." Peter lamented as he bit into a cookie
"If baking is planning a playlist and dancing across the kitchen, oh then yes. " I reply him
"Shut up, beautiful ."
"It's 6, let's start the movie? "
"I guess. What movie is it? "
"It's kind of old, the notebook. "
"Never heard of it. Let's go up to your room then. " He gets off the couch and holds his hand out for mine
"I figured we'd watch here today, in the hall. " I say
"Nope. You have to follow tradition. Upstairs , in your room, on your bed, in my arms. "
I shudder at his words and remain silent.
"Oh c'mon. Is it because I almost kissed you? ""Geez. Get over it. It was just a moment and I thought I'd go for it but then you're my best friend and I don't want things to get all weird like you're tryna do. " "Besides you're into Kali, anyway. Now come on and let's go see that movie, bestie. " He ends and pulls me off the couch quickly, trapping me in his arms. He brushes the hair out of my eyes, kisses my forehead. "I love you Tee. " He says into my hair.
