Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 123

I felt my cheeks burn as I gazed up at Geo who was still standing by the door, waiting for a response. 

"You don't even have to ask!" I smiled, millions of butterflies swarming inside my stomach. "Let me get my things from my house and then-"

"You can use my stuff." Geo shrugged, going into his wardrobe and throwing an oversized t-shirt towards  my direction. He then looked around his room and bit his lip. "Uhh.. I don't have a spare bed but if you don't wanna share a bed with me I can-"

"You really think I'd protest about sharing a bed with you?" I chuckled, although I couldn't help but feel guilty. Geo seems so nervous and sensitive towards me, maybe I am a little too hard on him. "You're my boyfriend!" 

Geo let out a sigh of relief and his anxious face calmed down. He then sat down on the best with me and fiddled with his fingers, his back hunched. He seemed nervous which confused me. What is there to be nervous about? I'm his girlfriend, shouldn't he be relaxed with me?

I rubbed his back with my hand and asked softly: "Geo what's up?"

"If I'm gonna be honest with you Luc.. I'm scared."

I frowned and held his hand, trying to my best to reassure him. I didn't say anything as I felt as though I shouldn't, so instead waited for him to elaborate. 

"I mean.. lately we've been taking our relationship really seriously and that scares me." He began, "I love you obviously, you know that. But I'm scared about loosing you. When people take relationships this seriously the breakups always kill. We're so young to be dating someone as though they're "the one".. and breakups are common for  people who's been dating ever since they were young."

"Geo stop it, you're making me nervous too." I tried to tell him that as though I was being playful with him, but it came out as though I was genuinely scared. To be honest I think I was scared. The thought of loosing somebody is scary, especially when it can happen so easily. 

Geo let out another sigh and then grabbed some pajamas and went towards the toilet. "I'm probably just having stupid late night thoughts." He said partly to himself. I nodded, he has a point. When Geo left I then began getting changed myself. The top was long enough to be a night dress but I still wore tight shorts underneath it. 

Geo came a couple of minutes later, wearing nothing but joggers. I felt my heart beat quicken and a smile stretch across my face. He threw me a toothbrush and some mouthwash and I walked towards the toilet to sort myself out. 

As I brushed my teeth I stared at my bare face in the mirror and for once felt confidence. I looked at myself and thought maybe I am pretty. Geo then joined me and placed his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder after kissing my cheek. We stayed there for a while, cherishing the moment in silence. 

How did I ever get so lucky? How am I dating my best friend who constantly friend zoned me? 

After spitting out the mouthwash and splashing my face with water, Geo let go of my waist and spun me around. I stared at him with a smile as he leaned in closer, asking for a kiss. 

"I should have expected this." I whispered, my smile getting wider every time we got closer. 

Just as we were close enough for our lips to touch, Geo told me in a quiet, raspy voice: "We'd never guess two years ago that we'd ever become a couple, did we?"

I opened my mouth to answer but Geo's lips were already touching mine. I looked at him to see that his eyes were closed, so then closed mine and placed my hand over Geo's chest.

Geo's hand reached under my top and I couldn't help but find his hand and then remove it. I get nervous when he does things like these and panic. 

I was expecting Geo to get annoyed at me and stop, but luckily he understood. We just carried on kissing until the door slammed open and in came Jennishka. 

"Ewww!" She squealed, her friend behind her staring at us with what seemed like an annoyed expression. Geo instantly let go of me and stared at her sister with such an angry face that I worried if they'd start shouting. "I was wondering why you both were so quiet!" 

"Oh my god Jennishka mind your own business and leave me alone!" Geo told his sister with a raised voice. He then pushed her away and slammed shut the door, locking it. 

Geo tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and leaned in close, but then let out a groan when his sister knocked on the door. Geo sharply turned around and then slammed the door open. Jennishka's friend had the same annoyed expression stuck to her face and I couldn't help but think.. is she jealous? Why is she acting so mad about Geo and I.. I mean we're a couple. Couples kiss. Geo is seventeen almost eighteen and I'm seventeen. We're almost young adults, we have a right. Why should I care anyway, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. 

"I was going to ask you to help with homework but you seem pretty busy so-"

"Just leave us alone." Geo then slammed the door shut and ignored his sisters annoyed knocks as we both kissed each other whilst exchanging happy smiles now and again. 

I wish this moment could last forever.
