20: tease

adam's song by blink 182

"your smile is beautiful," i whispered as i laid down on the mattress. i couldn't stop myself.

he laid down next to me, bringing a stack of blankets with him.

"thank you," he didn't compliment me and i was thankful.

i nodded. "you can go to sleep now."

"why? you go to sleep," he laughed.

"i-- never mind. shut up."

"you always tell me to shut up."

i turned around and before i could think i had pushed the blankets off of his grip. getting straight up, i sat on him. his eyes were wide.

i was nervous. his hands found my waist and i wanted to hit them off.

bringing my face down, my lips brushed his. it was an odd feeling.

"stop teasing me," he whispered.

"i'm sorry," he looked into my eyes. i got off of him and laid back down. pretending the last few minutes had not happened.

i closed my eyes and pretended i was asleep. what was i thinking? i couldn't lead him on.

"i know you don't sleep until you're tired. until, like, four am." he whispered into my ear. how did he know so much about me? why did he even care?

"you know a lot about me."

"because i care."
