Fillie: Not Just Friends

8/ And the Plot Thickens

Finn's POV

*at Sadie's sleepover party*

"Ooh! And the plot thickens!" Sadie exclaims, shoving a mouthful of popcorn into her mouth. This makes Caleb and Noah and I laugh. I feel a surge of heat spread over my face.

Millie's cheeks were as pink as sweet, strawberries. So sweet... my eyes traveled from her cheeks to her pink lips. I've kissed those lips before, but for some reason I feel like her lips are some foreign treasure, that I want to discover.

I'm getting all creepy and poetic about her lips? *internal face palm*

We sat in a circle, Sadie's elbows propped up on a pillow, holding her cheeks.

Gaten whispers into my ear, "So what's the deal, did you tell them. Are you guys like... dating?"

"It's complicated," I whisper back.

Gaten rolls his eyes, "Course it is."

-

"We should play a game!" Sadie exclaims excitedly. "It is a sleepover after all!" She adds, patting her sleeping-bag.

"What game should we play?" Millie asks, adorably British.

"Spin the bottle?" Sadie suggests. Everyone in the circle's cheeks get noticeably more red.

Noah starts to shake his head, to say 'HELL TO THE NO'.

"Don't worry guys, not like the kiss on the lips version," Sadie explains, "you either have to tell the person the bottle lands on a deep, dark secret... or kiss them on the cheek."

"Sounds like a loose-loose situation to me," Gaten says with a sarcastic tone. This makes Caleb chuckle.

"Okay let's play!" Sadie says, grabbing a water bottle from behind her and placing it in the middle.

As she twists the bottle over the floor, Sadie says, "I'll go first."

After ten seconds of suspenseful spinning, it lands on Caleb.

"Do we get to choose what the secret topic is?" I ask, grinning mischievously.

Millie and Sadie nod their heads in response. My grin grows wider.

"Okay, Sadie. You have to tell Caleb who your crush is, or you have to kiss him on the cheek."

"I don't know if I like this game," Millie says nervously.

Sadie's cheeks turn a deep shade of crimson.

"I, um. I-I," Sadie stutters and leans in towards Caleb. Instead of telling him her crush, she places a very quick, almost nonexistent kiss in Caleb's left cheek. Sadie's cheeks are rosy, to say the least. Like dark roses.

A very visible shade of dark red emanates from Caleb's dark cheeks.

"Guys, I don't really want to play this ga-" Noah is cut off by Sadie.

"Listen, I had to do it so now you do!" She says, face still flushed.

Caleb looks flustered, suspicious, even. But he twists the bottle anyway. It lands on Millie. I look over at her and her face is red, eyebrows furrowed.

"So Millie," Caleb says while wriggling his eyebrows. This makes most of us laugh, but I cringe at the sight. I get that he's trying to lighten the mood, but it makes me uncomfortable.

Noah perks up in his spot, "I'll choose the topic! Millie the secret topic is... Finn."

I hold my breath.

"More specifically, you and Finn. Could be anything," he adds. Millie blushed profusely, as I can imagine I'm doing right now as well.

"Uh," Millie stutters.

Noah stares her down, "It could be anything," he repeats. Millie replies with a small nod. She leans to Caleb's side and whispers something in his ear, covering the side of her mouth with her hand.

I can't read Caleb's expression. Looks like confusion with a tinge of joy. I wonder what she said?

"Alright Mills," Sadie says excitedly, "spin the bottle."

The bottle lands on Noah. Millie grins mischievously, they are very good friends.

"Who's your crush?" Gaten blurts out.

"Tell Millie," Caleb adds.

Noah's cheeks turn cherry red, just like Millie's sleeping bag. Noah shakes his head no slightly.

"Oh come on," Gaten exclaims disappointedly.

Noah leans over and plants a very brief kiss on Millie's cheek, it's hard to tell if his lips even touched her cheek. But they both blush harder.

A weird boiling feeling rises in my body, mainly my cheeks. And for some reason, I kind of want to slap Noah, or have him step on a lego.

To be continued...

A/n: sorry this is sort of a filler chapter, the next one will be more juicy I promise. I'd really appreciate it if you'd vote so I get more motivation to continue my story. (But if you don't want to that's fine.)
