Interesting thoughts

~John Sullivan~

I wake up at what I assume to be around 6 or 7 in the morning. One of my arms is under Serena's head and she is facing me with her head close to my chest and my other arm is draped around her waist. Should I move? No, I don't want to wake her up. She looks like a little angel when she's asleep.

I soon fall back to sleep.

****************

I wake up again and find no one next to me, she's up. She probably thinks I'm a weirdo or that I like her, which I don't but I do, wait what?---I don't like Serena. Yes, you do. Shut up mind! I don't!I got to this explain to her.

I grab my phone to see what time it is-11:30, then I get out of bed to find Serena sitting on the couch eating a sandwich, her mom nowhere in sight- probably in her room.

She turns around when she hears my footsteps on the wooden floor, aw she looks so adorable with that bed head yet still stunning. Wait-what? Did I just say that? What is wrong with me? Those 2 beers I had last night must have affected more than I thought. No they didn't, you just like her. Shut up, voice in my head, I do not!

"Good afternoon," she says, her voice sounding like a bell, did I just say bell-what is happening to me.

"Hey, um," here comes the awkwardness, "sorry about the cuddling thing, I didn't mean to, just um...ya..sorry."

She smiles sheepishly, "it's okay, you know, for a guy with muscles- you're surprisingly comfy."

For some odd reason after she said that, my heart started pounding.

"Would you like some food?"

"No thanks, I better get going, I gotta change my....feet," wtf? Did I just say I gotta change my feet? What is happening to me? Do I need to go to the loony bin?

"No, you're fine, you don't need to go to the loony bin and yes you did say you have to change your feet. Any yes, you did just all of that at loud."

Really? I need to leave before I say something more stupid.

"I um, gotta go, bye," I start heading for the door when she gets up and walks towards me and hugs me.

"Thanks for coming over last night, I know it meant a lot to her and I enjoyed hanging out with you."

I hug her back, her hair smells good.

"No problem, I had fun," she pulls away and says goodbye and I leave, my mind still foggy and my heart still pounding. She said I was comfy, and for some reason that makes me happy. Something is definitely wrong with me. I mean, sure she's pretty but it's Serena, the girl I've known since third grade, when I saw her being made fun of by this group of kids, I told them to leave her alone-- we've been friends ever since-best friends, until we went to college then we lost touch. We have a lot in common, especially the no family thing, my mom died while giving birth to me and my dad died three years ago. I wonder why we lost touch, it was a year after she went to college when she stopped contact completely, that was around the same time she started dating that Nate dude, I bet he got jealous or something and made her stop talking to me, that cheating bastard, if I ever see that loser I will punch him, how dare he break her heart, I can't believe she still loves him.

Oooooooo, sounds like somebody's got a crush and they don't know it yet! I'm thinking Nate might come around soon and try to get her back, maybe a fight will happen. Idk. Sorry if this chapter short, just wanted his POV after the whole cuddle scene. Thanks for reading.
