Were we about to kiss?
--
The next morning was as awkward as I imagined it to be, maybe even more.
We didn't kiss last night, but we were going to. She knew it.
She has Anya, and it didn't feel right to ruin that. So I pulled away, then she did. Then she kissed my forehead and told me goodnight before going back to bed.
I got up pretty early in the morning and packed my shit to go. I'll think of some excuse later, as to why I left so quick. I'll just say Vivian had an issue with Zach, her ex-boyfriend.
I was gathering all my shit around the apartment, looking for anything belonging to me.
"You're leaving so soon?", A voice creeped out of the dead silence.
I jumped right in my tracks before turned around, Bex leaning on the door of the room.
She was wearing a loose tank top and basketball shorts.
"I'm sorry Bex, something happened with Vivian. It isn't anything too bad, but she just- She needs me home right now.", I rambled with lies, followed by a fake smile, hoping she'd believe all the bullshit I just fed.
She nodded in validation, "Text me, or call me? Okay?"
I nodded my head back at her, a fake smile still plastered on my face.
I left her apartment and called an uber, and just like that we never spoke about what happened. Or almost happened.
But the thing is, I wanted to kiss her. I wanted it more than anything. We were friends, she had a girlfriend for fucks sake. Why was I feeling like this.
Maybe it was in the heat of the moment, I was vulnerable and needed someone. Bex fought with her girlfriend and had doubts. That's all it was, right?

It continued to stay like that for the next two weeks, we didn't speak about what happened and everything was back to normal. Anya and Bex made up, she was back from Brazil, and everything was okay.
For now.
"I can't believe you're gonna be 23 in over a week!", I squealed to my best friend. Vivian's birthday was on Halloween, and I found that so cool because Halloween was actually my favorite holiday.
Although I don't do the trick-or-treating thing anymore, I still dress up for Halloween parties and I already knew what I was going to be. Supergirl, fuck yes.
"What are you going to be for your party?", I questioned her, as she stared into her phone.
She was having a Halloween party, yes cliche, but I loved them. We always planned them together and they turned out to be the best all the time.
She didn't answer. "Viv!", I shouted trying to grab her attention
She immediately looked up whilst locking her phone, "What?"
"Yeah, Earth to Viv. I asked you a question but you seemed too into your phone. What are you doing on there anyway?", I continued.
She tossed her phone to the side, "Oh nothing.", she spoke a bit too casually. Vivian was a very outgoing person.
She looked around, waiting for a response but I saw right through her.
"Let me see your phone.", I demanded.
"What? No?", She looked at me like was crazy.
I gave her a stern look and she gave one in return.
"Fine, I guess. Whatever, don't tell-", I stopped mid sentence to quickly grab the phone next to her, and stood up on the couch where she couldn't reach.
