We Could Be - A Short Story

Part Five

Through tout the night, I tried to keep as much distance between us as the bed would let me, but Alex had other plans. I refuse to believe he was awake, at least, I hope he wasn't.

     I woke up in his arms. This was not happening. I try my best to leave without waking him, but as soon as I move he tightens his grip. I have to wake him up...

     "Alex, let me go," I whisper, shaking him.

     He wakes up, "No! Stay!"

     "I need to get home."

     "Okay, as long as you don't go kissing anyone."

     "Dude, you fuck every girl you see, but if I kiss one guy you throw a fit! We're not even friends, let alone together!"

     "We could be."

     I hit him and mutter, "go bug one of your girls. I'm sure there's plenty."

     He lets me go.
