childhood love

Chapter two : midnight memories

It's a Friday night at Maria's household, Austin in his room doing his night workouts before he goes shower and sleeps for practice tomorrow morning, my mom downstairs in the living room with Myliah watching Barbie movies until she falls asleep. I've decided to hit up Fred to see what he is doing. As I scrolled down my contacts list until I saw "Spicy noodles" with a fire emoji. One of our amazing inside jokes when we were both doing the spicy noodle challenge and he won but almost puked out his guts and I kept it in the YouTube video but censored bc it's very much disgusting seeing somebody puke unless you have some weird fetish to it. Instead of texting him I've decided to call him and went to the window where our houses meet. " hey Fred are you doing anything right now?" I question him with a little smile on my face. " hey Erzel, long time no talk. I have some AP euro homework and chemistry but you can come by if you want, my mom was actually talking about you just last night and asked how are you,"I blushed heavily and that got me thinking. "Hey, may I go over right now? I got some work for Japanese and I know you are in a higher language class for me and I was wondering if you could do a mini tutor session. I'll ring our favorite snacks and come by too." I asked him while changing into my sweatpants and putting on my glasses. "Of course I can teach you, I mean its the basics then later can you help me with Trig work? " he said in a monotone voice. "Of course ill be there in 10," I said with joy  " great ill see you soon " I hunged up the phone on him while I go get ready to see him after I'm not sure how long but it's been some time since i haven't had been with him alone. I wonder if he changes one bit since we hanged out last time. I put on the last on my signature perfume "pure seduction" and put my hair into a messy bun , slide on my slip on shoes and  As i walk to his door i brought him cookies, chips , and some energy drinks, I saw his face light up. Thats very much different because we havent been together for sometime but when we were together he would be happy but have that side where he is sad . Thats only because his relationship with sophia is toxic. Honeslty i dont know why he still loves her, or maybe they broke up. "Hey my love how are ya?" as i greet him with the biggest hug i ever gave to a person. He mummured under his breath "cute". My head was going into different places, made me wonder in my head  "why all of a sudden he became a cuddly bear?¨ As we were in the middle of our work i saw the name "baby blossom" then he shut him phone off and looked upset with a mix of him being mad. ¨ Fred you okay?"i questioned him. "Im absolutely done with sophia, she had pain me too much i dont want to keep dealing with rumors, drama, and between the team they said certain things about us and that she cheated with some musician from another school. She deserve what she had gave me. " i saw a little tear slipped from his eyes , i felt his pain. "Their are so many amazing girls out here for you , you just got to keep looking best friend." as i go up to him and hug him while i lay my head on his shoulder. Is this my chance? Is this my time to tell him i love him more then a best friend? Does he like me the way i like him? I stayed overnight but we slept in the living room rather than in the room because we were too lazy to get up from our break and i fell asleep on him because he was playing and massaging my head. " you know you look cute when you are asleep " as he smile and holds me tighter than before. " Fredirick you are squishing me!" i mumbled into his chest with a slight feeling of fraustration. " okay little baby geez i wasnt trying to hurt you. " i can hear it in his voice that he felt bad that he had hurted me, when really im just not a morning person." oh im so sorry fred , i didn't mean to hurt you , its just that i am not a morning person and i thought youve had alreayd known that since we were little. " i looked up and kiss his cheek. He smiled , snuggled me even more closer to him. "Fred theres something ive been wanting to say since we were little kids." i took a deep breath and broke up his grip from my body to sit up but on his legs. " Ever since we were kids , probably around middle school , way before you ever became a varsity player, before you met sophia , before we ever stepped foot into our high school. During the summer times that ive always hang with you, us jamming out to old songs, having bonfire jams with family and friends. Ive always love you more than a best friend. Ive always wanted for the best for you. Ive always love you. I know its too early because you just got out of an relationship. I just wanted you to know , even though i may not be your typical type. Im just very much glad i got that out of my chest." took a deep breath, looked at him with his sparkly brown eyes. He lean in for a kiss on the lips, " ive always knew something was missing, and that something missing, was you."
