The story of Aristotle and Dante

Chapter 2

Dante's POV.

Aristotle is leaning in and his lips touches mine. We're kissing. Me and Ari, we are actually kissing. Right here, right now. I can't believe it, this can't be happening. Ari would never kiss me, he's not that type of guy. I don't mind, but I know for sure he wouldn't kiss me. He doesn't like me that way... Or does he? No, no he doesn't. This is all just a dream and I'm going to wake up soon.

   Why am I not waking up? I can't believe that this is actually happening. I going to lose my shit, but I can't. Not now, not when he's here kissing me. The kiss is so passionate, his lips are so soft and I can't help it. I kiss him back just as passionate. I been waiting for this moment, but I know that he probably doesn't feel the same. He just isn't this type of guy, this is only going to be a one time thing. When we stop kissing he is going to apologise, tell me to forget it and say that he don't know what he was thinking. God i really wish this moment could last forever, just Ari and me, right here, in bed, kissing. Not thinking about anything, just laying here kissing. He is a really good kisser that's for sure and it's sad to think that this is only a one time thing.

   He breaks the kiss, and just as I suspected he stand up, start walking over to his bed while these words comes out of his mouth:
"I'm so sorry Dante. I really didn't mean to do that... Just forget that I did that, I really don't know what came over me."

"Yeah, yeah. No problem, I promise that I won't tell anyone." I'm not going to forget this, no matter how hard I try to forget it. I already know that I probably never will.

"Thanks, good night Dan."

"Night Ari."

I'm still thinking about what just happened. Aristotle Mendoza just kissed me, I didn't kiss him. He actually kissed me... I can't help but blush and smile, luckily he doesn't see me. If he did he would say what are you smiling at and be really embarrassed. I really don't want him to be embarrassed, because when Ari is embarrassed he gets defensive and starts speaking in a mean tone.

I'm starting to fall asleep, it's probably for the best. If I try to talk to him about this now he'll just get mad and tell me to go to sleep.

Aristotle's POV.

WHY ON EARTH DID I DO THAT?! I can't believe that I actually kissed Dan. He is my best friend and now I probably ruined everything. I really shouldn't have done this. I can't fall for him, I really can't. But then, what if I already have? No, no. I can't have fallen in love with him, it not possible. Or it is possible, but I really hope I haven't. Why do I always ruin every damn thing? It was going so well. If I'm lucky though maybe he'll forget it. God I hope he does. But what if he likes me that way? No, no, he doesn't. Right? If he does he probably won't forget about it.

"You should try to get some sleep Ari." Dan says. His voice is soft and he sounds calm. How can he be so calm after what just happened?

"How did you know I wasn't sleeping?" I ask.

"I can see how tense you are. You're only this tense when you're overthinking." I'm not looking at him but I know he's looking at me with a concerned look.

"I'm not overthinking anything." Lie, of course I'm overthinking. I always do that and he knows it. He also knows that what I just said was a lie.

"You're not a good lair you know that right?" Yes Dan I know, but I am trying. And I don't want you to worry about me, I'll be fine.

"Yes, but I don't want to talk about this now. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good night."

"Night, sweet dreams and all that." I know there's a cute grin on his face right now. He always has one when he says that. Why do I know this? I should go to sleep I'm to tired now and can't think straight. Of course you can't because you're probably. Okay brain let's not go there just yet. God I need some sleep.
