Warm

Eleven

I was laying on my couch watching Buzzfeed when my phone chimed.

Ben: how good are you with kids?

Me: idk
Me: ok I think
Me: why?

Ben: my mom is leaving me with Matt and Clara?
Ben: i need moral support
Ben: pls help me

Me: k
Me: give me 10 minutes

I quickly took a shower and left my mom a note, telling her where I was going, then left the house.

The drive was short so in no time I was knocking on Ben's door.

I heard some loud noises then the door opened.

"Hey there" I greeted, smiling at his appearance.

Where his hair had colourful clips in it and his clothes were full of paint.

"Don't look so smug" he said playfully.

I entered the house and Ben lead me into the living room, where Clara and Matt were.

"Hey guys" I greeted.

"Dean!" Matt said excited.

Over the last two months I've spent a lot of time at the Garrets, Matt took a liking to me.

The living room was a mess.

Matt was sat on the floor 'painting', but really he was just dipping his fingers in paint and smearing them over a page, and Clara was in her crib biting on a pen, which I quickly took away, causing her to cry.

"I don't know what to do" Ben said, taking Matt's paint covered hands away from his mouth.

"Well, when last did they eat?" I asked.

"Lunch, and its 4:48 now" he said, "so dinner?"

"Yeah, but first he needs to get cleaned up" I gestured towards Matt.

"I'll do that" he said, chuckling at his younger brother.

"And I'll start lunch"

I put Clara in her highchair in the kitchen and looked through the cupboards.

I found some pizza bases and decided we could make pizza, that would keep Matt busy at least.

Soon I had set up a little 'pizza making station' and now I was waiting for Ben and Matt.

"Hey" Ben said, entering the kitchen with a fresh looking Matt, "pizza?"

"Yep, I figured making his own pizza could keep him busy" I replied, gesturing to Matt.

Once our pizza's were made, which Matt had a lot of fun with, and eaten it was almost 7 and Ben's parents were home.

"Clara is getting big" I said, as we walked towards his bedroom.

"She is" he replied, tripping on one of Matt's toys.

I laughed and held my hand out for him to take.

He did, and when he was up we were inches apart.

"So you wanna watch a movie or something?" He asked breaking eye contact.

"I'd love to but I should be heading home" I replied.

"Oh okay" he said, looking disappointed.

I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I watched as he handed my backpack to me, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then"

I dont know why but he looked so vulnerable now?

Over the past 2 months his 'bad boy' exterior had been broken down, but the look in his eyes was like when we were kids, he looked scared.

My body moved without thinking, pulling him into a hug like when we were kids.

He stiffened for a moment before melting into my embrace.

I pulled away slightly and pressed my lips to his.

His lips were soft and so warm, that warmth spread throughout my whole body making me ache.

I moved him against the wall, kissing him deeper, and he moaned.

I snapped back to my senses and pulled away, "I should go"

I walked a few steps, then turned back and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Woooo
First kiss!
