Friend of a friend || Reece Bibby - on hold

19.

"Oh man, I really can't believe Blake did that!" I laughed at Reece retelling the story of Blake and George on the tour bus.

"It's Blake, I'm not surprised." I shrugged.

The waiter came over and placed our food on the table. We were currently in London and sitting at a cafe discussing everything.

"Ah, of course." Reece agreed and placed a fry in his mouth.

I shrugged and took a sip of my soda. I noticed Reece was staring into space and to be honest he's been doing that a lot lately. Just.. staring into space like he's thinking incredibly deeply about something.

"So..I've been kind thinking lately." Reece said in a voice I can only describe as nervous.

"Mmm?"

"So.. I know things have been quite messy in the pass with us-"

"That's an understatement." I interrupted him. He laughed and returned to his previous state.

"Well yeah. But.. okay just hear me out. Don't say anything until I'm done speaking. Okay?" 

I nodded fiercely.

"We've known each other since we we're born. We've always been together and we've always been best friends. We've been through so much together it's honestly crazy. You've always been there for me and you've always supported me wholeheartedly. I know you've rejected me in the past, but I'm trying again anyway. Rose, I-I... I genuinely love you so much."

He took a breath and looked into my eyes, looking away quickly.
"And I don't mean the type of way that a friend loves a friend. I mean as in I want to be your boyfriend. I want to be able to shower you with compliments that would be probably odd coming from a friend. I want to be able to hold you and not be called a great friend for always being there for you. I want to be able to kiss you and call my mine. You don't have to like me back, I've accepted the fact you probably never will, but i needed to say this."

His eyes hadn't met mine yet, in fear of my reaction. If he had, he would have seen the ear to ear smile on my face that whole time.

"Reece." I placed my hand on top of his larger one.
"You should know, I feel the same way."

His expression completely changed. His eyes went wide and his mouth hung open.

"I-No.. What?"

I nodded, "I feel the same way. I'm just not good with words of expressing my emotions."

"Holy shit..." He mumbled causing me to laugh.

"Well uh, this isn't super romantic, but Rose, would you Uh... would be please be my girlfriend?" Reece stuttered whilst trying hard to look into my eyes, but you could tell he was nervous.

"You know what? Yes. I'll be your girlfriend."

"Do we like hug now?" Reece blurted out, causing both of us to laugh rather loudly and catch weird stares from people.

"I can't believe you finally had the balls to ask me out bibby. I mean, I know last time didn't go to hot but I really thought I was dropping hints that i had feelings for you."

"I've been dropping hints since we we're i the womb so, take that." He smiled gorgeously before throwing a fry at me.

I death glares him but couldn't help cracking a smile. "Oh yeah, yeah. Blake and George are going to die."

"Honestly I don't think they're going to be even a little surprised. They're our biggest supporters." He shrugged.

"Mmm. You're right. I don't think our parents are going to be surprised either." I stated.

"I agree. Also can we go to the movies after this? They have that new horror film playing that's supposed to be the scariest film ever or something like that."

"Big yes. But if you hide behind me this time I swear I'll never admit to being your girlfriend."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh But I would." I smirked

"But what if I just wanna be close to you?" The blonde pouted.

"Wow someone likes to move fast."

"I.. it's.. well that's not my fault! We have to make up for lost time! And that all starts with the movie."

I laughed and nodded. Reece was seeming a little shy, why makes sense since he literally just asked me to be his girlfriend. But I'm glad he did.

Hi!
So yeah I've been away for a while. As per usual it's nearing the end of the school term and being in year 11 I have extremely hard assignments and an exam block coming up next week. And whenever I have free time I'm catching up on studying or stressing about it. I'm also stuck on university options and what to do, so sadly my plates been full lately.

I'm genuinely so sorry I haven't updated. I'm also sorry i haven't updated when I said I would and for this chapter being extremely boring and lacklustre. The good thing is , is that now I can finally do what I want to with the story so the updates will be better. I'm not sure when I'll update next but I'll try and make time very soon.

Seriously thank you guys for being so loyal and always encouraging me. I wish I wasn't so busy, I genuinely am so sorry. I literally love you all so much and I'll try and update more ❤️❤️❤️
