Kendalls POV

"Kendall!" I hear my brother call from downstairs as i sit in my room watching youtube videos on my laptop

"Yeah?" I yell back

"You wanna watch a movie?" He asks

"Sure" i yell back before closing my laptop and leaving my room to go downstairs

I stop when i see Anthony standing in front of the tv, reading the movie description on the back. I haven't seen Anthony since that night at dinner, hes been keeping his space and i liked it that way. But now that hes here i feel my heartbeat increase as my throat suddenly becomes dry

"Hes watching it too?" I ask Chris as Anthony looks up to me, smiling sheepishly

"Yes, i feel like the three of us have never hung out together and you too would love each other" Chris starts as Anthony and i keep eye contact as i grill him  hard

"Right.." i say  "what movie are we watching?" I ask

"It follows" he told me "Anthony can you go make some popcorn? and little sister, can you get the beverages, ill go get some blankets" Chris tells us before leaving to go upstairs

We awkwardly both go into the kitchen as i go straight for the fridge and him to the cabinet, getting popcorn. As i put down the cups i look at him

"Why are you here?" I ask him as he furrows his eyebrows before looking around and pressing start on the microwave

"Sh..im sorry, he insisted i came over and stopped being weird about always having him over" he said lowly, getting close to me as i roll my eyes "and I'm sorry.." he trails, looking to the floor "i never got to apologize for the kiss" he says as i look up to him, confused

"What?"

"W-we were both just drunk and-"

"Wait..what?!" I look to him with huge eyes as the microwave dings and we hear chris coming back down the stairs

"You dont..?" He trails as i shake my head 'no' before I automatically flash back to the party

The kiss.

It had to be him.

*flashback*

"Kendall.." he says my name deeply, slowly as my eyes momentarily glance down to his lips, then to his eyes. when I look up, he's staring at my lips too.

suddenly im in his arms as he kisses my lips and I resist momentarily before kissing him back. I feel the alcohol and abandon in my system giving me encouragement to keep letting him kiss me but deep down I know somewhere that this isn't right, that this isn't okay.

He pulls back and I feel all the adrenaline and excitement still coursing through my veins. I didn't want that to stop, I don't want to not have that feeling.

wow.

"I-im sorry, I-" Anthony starts before I grab him by the nape of his neck and pull him closer to me to kiss me again.

When we finally pull apart, my fingers were still on the back of his neck and I looked up into his eyes awestruck

"wow.." I whisper lowly, one of my hands, holding onto his broad shoulders.

Suddenly, he looks like he remembers something and he lets go of my waist, backing away from me.

"we..w-we can't" he stammers as I furrow my brows, confusedly, still feeling a little light headed from it all "i..cant-" he starts before he just turns around and leaves the room.
