Chris closed and locked the door behind him and sat down next to me.
„I'm an asshole, I know that."
I didn't answer.
He sighed and rubbed his face. „Ricky, I'm so fucking sorry. I didn't want to accept myself and the feelings I had. That's why I did all that stupid stuff. I don't even like that fucking bitch! Like, she's not even pretty."
He looked over at me.
„But you are. On the inside and on the outside. You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen Rick."
I blushed and looked up at him. I looked into his eyes and saw that he was telling the truth. I smiled a bit.
„Ricky, please give me another chance. As a friend or even more."
I bit my lip and nodded.
Chris smiled and wiped away my tears with his thumb.
„Thank you so much."
I nodded again and smiled, then hugged him. He hugged back and stood up, pulling me to my feet.
„C'mon, I'll take you home."
I shook my head.
„Mom's gonna kill me."
„I'll take you to my place." he pushed some hair out of my face and I nodded.
Chris took me to his place. I still didn't talk much, I just wasn't in the mood for it. He didn't mind though and I was glad.
We went up to his room and I sat down on his bed. Chris sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
„Thank you so much for giving me a second chance."
„It's okay", I said quietly and leaned into him. I liked his touch and felt comfortable in his arms.
He gently kissed my head and we just sat there in silence. It was a comfortable silence though, which I liked. I closed my eyes and remembered the moment when Chris and I shared our first kiss. I remembered the feelings I had, the butterflies and the fireworks.
I sighed softly.
„What's up?" Chris looked down at me, a bit concerned.
„Nothing." I looked back up at him. His eyes were mesmerizing. Fuck, his whole face was mesmerizing. His eyes, his lips, his features, everything.
„I can tell that something's on your mind."
I shrugged. „Just stupid stuff."
„No, you don't think about just stupid stuff. What's up?"
„I-I just remembered the moment when we kissed..." I almost whispered.
„Oh." he smiled and I saw a faint blush rising on his cheeks. That made me smile, because it made him even cuter.
Before he could say something else I kissed his lips. To say I was surprised about my own actions is an understatement. I had never felt confident enough to do something like that, do the first step.
Chris kissed me back without hesitating and cupped my cheeks. It felt amazing, even better than the last time. I loved it.
