Neighbors

Chapter 8

Kay's POV

When I woke up, Austin was looking down at me in his arms.

"Sorry for last night. I don't usually get nightmares. I didn't mean to wake you up." I apologize as we stare into each others eyes.

"Hey don't apologize, it's not your fault. It's his fault. He's the one that did this to you okay? Never say sorry for getting hurt." he demanded in a sympathetic tone.

I just nodded and looked down. I'm not going to cry. Kay! Don't cry don't cry...too late.

"Hey, look at me." Austin said, placing his hand under my chin and gently lifting my head so my eyes can meet his. "There's no need to cry okay? He can't hurt you now. And even if he tried, I would never let him hurt you, ever." he assured.

All of a sudden, it felt like there was a gravitational pull between us. We both closed our eyes and his lips met mine. It was a long, passionate kiss, making me feel safe. His arms hooked around my wait as mine snaked around his neck.

When we pulled away, he rested his forehead on mine.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you baby." he assured again.

I just lay back on his chest and we just stayed there in a comfortable silence, him rubbing small circles on my back.

After a while, Austin spoke up.

"Kay?"

"Austin?" I mimicked?

"Can I ask you something?" he sounded a little, nervous.

"Of course." we both sat up, his gaze meeting mine.

"Well, we've been friends for a while. Well, I think I like you. More than a friend." to be honest, I wasn't surprised by his confession because, I feel the same way.

"Austin I..."

"I shouldn't have said that. I'm such an idiot. Why would my best friend like me in that way? Look, let's forget I..." I cut him off by kissing him.

"Austin. I do feel the same way. I have for a really long time." I assure.

"Really?"

"Yeah, isn't it obvious?" I laugh.

"Well in that case. Do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked, his smile brightening up the entire room.

"I would love that." I said as I kissed him again.

···Later that day···

We were just chilling on the couch watching TV when Austins phone went off, indicating he got a text.

"Hey Kay?"

"Yeah?"

"My friends want to meet up, want to come grab lunch with us?"

"Of course. But can we go back to my house so that I can get ready?"

"Sure, just let me take a shower first."

After he said that he got up, have me a quick kiss and left the room.
