Davids pov

I wake up and the first thing I see is Liza looking through my stuff.

I clear my throat. She turns to look at me, "oh sorry I'm just looking for my phone." She says.

"It's in my car," I say pointing to my keys.

"Thanks," she says and runs downstairs.

She comes up with her bag and her phone.

"David, why am I here?" She asks.

"You fell asleep last night and nobody was there to take you home and I didn't know where you lived so I took you back here."

"Oh um thanks," she says, "we didn't do anything did we?"

I shake my head, "no you slept the whole time and anyway were just friends, aren't we?"

It hurt me to say that last bit. Of course I wanted to be more than just friends with Liza but I needed to reassure her we didn't do the nasty.

"Yea, just friends." She says. I nod.

She sits next to me on my bed and turns on her phone. There are about 100 notifications from Gabbie.

"What's she saying?" I ask Liza.

She shows me the messages

Gabbie:
Zane and I hooked up last night. He told me I'm hot

Gabbie:
Did u get home ok last night?

Gabbie:
Hello?

Gabbie:
Hello?

And you can probably guess what the other 96 messages said.

"Uhh, at least she cares," I say.

Liza rolls her eyes and replies.

Liza:
I'm fine I went to Davids xx

"Are you hungry?" I ask.

"Yes, cook me something slave," she says giggling.
I bite my lip, " what do you want princess?"

"Pancakes."

I nod and go downstairs to make us breakfast. They are a bit sloppy but I hope she doesn't mind. I put on some maple syrup then bring them up to my room.

Liza is under the covers.

"Here," I say putting the plate on top her.

"Thank you peasant," she says. I get into bed beside her. She rests her head on my chest and scrolls through Instagram. It feels like we're a real couple.

I kiss her hair softly. She looks up at me and smiles.

"I like you David, you're a really good friend." She says.

"Thanks you are too," I say faking a smile. I just got put in the friend zone...

I start to wonder if she remembered when we kissed. I think back to the past memories we've had. It's been a month now since I've met her and the more memories I think back of, the more I realise how much I love her.

I want more than anything to be something with her. I need to know if she likes me, even if the answer hurts me.

Liza finishes eating and I quickly go downstairs to wash the dishes.

When I come back up stairs Liza is wearing one of my hoodies.

"I hope you don't mind I didn't have anything else to wear," she says blushing.

"It's fine you look amazing in it," I say grinning.
