Ariana's P.O.V:

I guess this is it. The moment we finally have our talk.. I've been too much of a coward to even ask to talk about it. I was too scared Hayden regretted it.. I guess it's just me overthinking..right? Right. Clothes. I put some sweats on and some running shoes, I grab my jacket and jog back downstairs.

  As I stand down the staircase, I hear whimpers.. Holly? Is Holly crying? I walk back up the stairs and knock softly on her door. "Holly.. Are you crying?" I place my ear on the door, I hear rustling, sniffing and tissue papers being torn. "Holly, open the door please.."

  She twists the lock and very slowly opens the door. "Oh hey Ari! Weren't you and Hayden going out?" She speaks innocently. "Well I was but then I heard you crying.. What's wrong?"

  "Me? Crying? Oh no I was just watching a really sad movie.. you know how I get when watching those really dramatic romance movies hehe.." She avoided eye contact at all cost.. she barely looked at me whilst speaking this sentence out.. "Holly, our wholes lives, we've never kept secrets from each other. I'll tell Hayden to come back and you and I can talk."

  She doesn't say anything, she looks down at her fidgeting hands.. She only fidgets when something's seriously wrong. Holly is a pretty shy but very confident person, she barely gets nervous or stressed out. Not to mention she has an incredibly high patience.

  I try calling Hayden but his phone must be off.. Damn it. "Alright Holly, wait here, I'll bring Hayden back and we can talk alright? I'm here for you." I give her a light hug and make my way to her bedroom door. "No wait Ari, since you and Hayden are gonna meet have your talk, when you get back i'll be awake then i can tell you guys my thing.." She sounded nervous at the mention of that 'thing'..

  With that I left the house and went to our place, there he was.. Laying on the grass, his hair shining under the moonlight- Cut it off Ariana you sound cheesy. I shake my head shaking the weird thoughts out and walked over to him.

  "Hey there" He said in a low husky voice patting the empty space next to him. "Hey" I whispered back, I sat down as he sat up facing me. "I don't know how to start this..." He fidgets with his fingers nervously.

  "Well Hayd.. you could always start by whatever's on your mind, we'll take it from there." I show him a slight smile as to reassure him that I'm on the listen.

  "That kiss Ariana.. I don't regret it. I've been thinking about it- about YOU for months now and was too afraid to confront you about it which was the largest mistake of my life. If I could I would go back in time to that precise moment my lips brushed yours and stop it there because.. Ariana no matter who I was with no one could make me feel the way you do and I guess what I'm trying to say is that I liked that kiss.. a lot. I like you even more."

  By the time he finished his speech I was blushing, praying that the moonlight wouldn't give it away, "Hayden I- " I was speechless. Fuck say something. "I liked it too.. the kiss.. I like y-"

  ** Not even seconds later, without hesitation, he cuts me off by pulling my body close to his, hands on my hips, so close I could feel his heat on me, his face was inches away from mine holding me as close to him as the position would allow him to. He moved to my ear and whispered "Don't kill me", as his breath hit the bare skin on the back of my neck, tingles were sent sparkling down my spine. That was when time itself stopped. He pressed his lips on mine, gently.. Without even a second thought I kissed back, I wanted it, I've been craving this for weeks, months! And now that it's finally here I never want it to end..

  At first, the kiss was slow.. then it gradually got aggressive. As my lips parted he allowed his tongue to make way tangling with mine right before he took my bottom lip between his teeth, giving it a tug before gently biting down on it as his body was moving in perfect harmony with mine, letting an unexpected moan slip out past my lips. I could feel him smirk as he slowly placed kisses on my jaw, moving down to the naked skin of my neck as I tilted it allowing him full access. He kissed the sensitive skin then nibbled on it whilst I had my fingers interlaced with his gorgeous hair locks. Not few minutes later, his lips leave my neck, the look on his face tells me he left a mark.. **

  Oh my god.. he gave me a hickey. I allow him to kiss my lips once again before stopping. With struggle I managed to speak up, "Hayd.. Your sister.. sh-she has something to tell us.." I could still feel Hayden hand tightening it's grip on my hip. "Damn it." He mumbles, "Alright let's go, we're not done yet." He winks and helps me get up. I have no idea where he got this confidence from but damn I like it.

Hayden's P.O.V:

  I was still mesmerized by that kiss the entire walk home.. as soon as we unlocked the door, Holly was sitting there on the couch, playing with whatever she was holding between her hands.

  "Oh you guys are back." She looks back and forth between Ariana and I then fixes her gaze on Ariana. The hickey! I forgot about that. I can feel Ari tense up next to me with her cheeks flushed. Too cute for me to handle.

  "I'm not gonna ask.." Holly clears her throat and begins talking. "Okay you guys might want to sit down for this.. I have two cups of icy cold water and chocolate bars just in case.. What I'm about to tell you, no one knows about. No one except for... Hunter." Ariana and I give each other a look then turn back our gaze to Holly who started to tear up..
"Holls.." Ariana begins as she moves closer to my twin sister, "Take your time okay? We're here and we're listening. Whatever you have to say you can say it to us." Even after the mention of her brother, it's amazing how Ariana can keep herself calm and is able to comfort others.. Makes me love her even more. Love? Is that what I feel for her? Am I in love with Ariana? I'll worry about that later..

"Well.. Ari you see, it's not easy for me. And before you say anything, please don't get mad at Hunter for not telling you. I made him keep it a secret and i'm sorry."

She talks about Hunter, a secret but what is it?! What's going on?!
