friends?• millie

'and that's how i ended up like this.' he finished pointing to his ankle.

'huh?' i asked, i wasn't paying attention. i couldn't help but study his messy black curls and how they fell onto his freckles face.

'were you even listening millie?' he laughed as he looked at me.

' sorry i'm exhausted i had such a long day.' i replied as i pretended to stretch my arms and yawn.

'well i'll let you get your beauty sleep then .' he said sliding off of the bed.

'do you need any help walking home?'

it was way too late to be walking outside but i didn't want him to go.

'help walking home?' he replied, choking on the word 'home.'

'well yeah...in case you have trouble walking or anything .' i snapped, i didn't want to sound too desperate.

'i think i'll be fine.' he said picking up his dirty clothes and his cigarettes.

'i can wash those for you if you'd like' i proposed taking the dirt-stained clothes out of his arms. he raised his eyebrow at the comment.

'well, we're friends now right?'

he started to laugh and shake his head as he stared at his rugged sneakers.

'what's so funny?' i queried, crossing my arms and sticking out my hip.

'i don't think you understand millie' he paused and pressed his lips together.
'Princesses don't like peasants.'

i laughed, 'what is that supposed to mean?'

he let out a long sigh as he shifted around uncomfortably, 'exactly what i said. i mean look at me with my gross ass shoes and packs of cigarettes. and you- you're living in an actual castle and you're gorgeous-' he clapped his hand over his mouth.

i felt my cheeks get hot as i broke into a goofy smile. his face turned red as he stared down at his feet.

'I'm not gonna lie finn, you don't look too bad yourself.' i replied with a small smirk on my face

holy shit, why'd i say that? i said to myself as i mentally slapped myself. he lifted his head up and grinned back at me, my heart began to flutter, millie stop it, you just met him calm down.

'well princess i better get going'

' um, i'll see you tomorrow then?'

'yeah, thanks for everything millie.' he walked out and lightly brushed his hand on my shoulder. i became tense as his touch sent shivers down my spine.

'bye finn'

'bye princess'

i chuckled at the nickname he gave me as i went to stare out my window to study the way he walked across the lawn and the way he ran his fingers through his messy hair. he turned his head back and looked in my window, i panicked and flipped the blinds closed as i felt my heart beating a hundred miles a minute.

i slid underneath the covers and shut my eyes close, picturing his unusually attractive face.

'he probably already has a girlfriend millie' i thought aloud as i turned around in my sleep forcing thoughts about him out of my mind.

(next day)

'goodnight millie' mom said as she walked past my room.

'night mum, love you' i smiled and blew her a kiss. i looked up from my homework to my click that hung above my desk. 8:45

i sighed and held my face in my hands, he wasn't coming. tap tap

i whipped my head around to see finn perched by the outside of the window.

'finn?' i yelled in a whisper as i ran over to open the window.

'hey millie sorry i didn't get here earli-' i covered his mouth

'shhh, my mum is in the other room!'

'oh, sorry' he whispered as he crawled inside and sat on my bed.

'here follow me, i have your clothes.' i led him down the hallway into the laundry room where i handed him his clothes.

'thanks' he replied 'so, where do you wanna go?'

'what?' i furrowed my brow.

'i said, where do you want to go?'

' um, i don't know,' i shrugged.

'well, i guess it's a surprise then' he smiled and started to walk towards the door.

'wait!' i grabbed his arm 'the security alarms will go off if we go out through the doors. use the window in my room instead.' i snapped as we walked back into my room.

'ever hop out a window before?' he asked as he began to climb down.

'n-no' my legs began to tremble as i looked down, i had a phobia of heights ever since i was little and went to the fair and rode the ferris wheel with my dad. my dad, i missed him so much-

'millie, you coming or not?' he was waiting for me on the roof.

i swallowed and stuck my foot out of my window onto the roof and cautiously walked towards the edge looking at finn who was already waiting for me.

'Millie!' he shouted

it was too late, i didn't realize where i was stepping and i slipped off of the roof. i closed my eyes and started to scream as i felt myself fall through the air, but rather than smacking down onto the pavement i was cradled in strong arms, i fluttered my eyelids open and saw finn's face. i felt his breath on my neck and our lips were nearly inches apart. i started to close the gap between our lips but he put me back on the ground.

'Holy shit! are you okay?' he asked

'y-yeah, thank you' i yelled at myself for almost kissing him, I've only known him for one day and he obviously doesn't feel the same way.

'good' he smiled 'let's go.' he pressed his hand against my back and walked me down the driveway.

'where are we going?' i asked

'that's for me to know, and you to find out.' he replied with a wink.
