Our Little Secret

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I was hesitant at first but I slowly leaned in again and placed my lips on his. The kiss became more and more passionate. It was kind of weird thinking that I was kissing my best friend who was gay. Yet he was the best kisser by far. His lips moved in a way that is indescribable. Before I knew it, what was supposed to be a sweet little kissed turned into a somewhat scandalous make out session. I can’t even Imagine what Lily would think of me right now. Lily was my closest girl friend and she’s liked Riley since the 6th grade. Finally Riley pulled away. Our Foreheads were now placed against each other. I smiled and Riley smiled back.. Which of course just had to turn into that damn lip bite. Riley had that adorable smile and he was the one guy at our school that made braces attractive. I could hear Riley breathing heavily. 

“You okay?” I asked

“Maybe I’m Bi?” Riley suggested

“What?!” I squealed 

“That kiss.. Cara. That reminded me why I thought girls were attractive in the first place.”

I shook my head. 

“Woah Woah.. wait what?!” I asked 

“I don’t know Cara this whole thing is really confusing for me.” 

“Confusing for you?” I sputtered “First you tell me you’re gay and then you ask me to kiss you and now I cant tell if you like me or not and im freaking out Ri!” 

“Cara! Calm down.. Lets just forget about that kiss and right now Im just Riley.. Okay?” He whispered. “Now come here.” 

I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. Riley was changing the channel on tv. On the outside I was calm and complete, but my mind was racing and I really didnt know what was going on with Riley and I. The thought was interrupted by the distant beeping of the oven. I could feel Riley slip out from under me trying to be as subtle as possible. I heard footsteps of him going upstairs. I pulled out my phone and dialed Lily’s number. It went straight to voicemail. 

“Greaaaaaaaaaaatttttt.” I mumbled.

Riley came back down stairs and looked at me puzzled.

“Did I wake you?” Riley asked saddened 

“I never really fell asleep.” 

“Oh..” Riley replied 

“You okay?” I asked

“If I was I wouldn’t be asking you the question im about to ask you.... Will you be the cover up?”

“What?” I stuttered 

“You know like my fake girlfriend incase the whole gay thing slips.” He said

“You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?” I asked 

“Yeah...? Please don’t be mad Cara.” Riley said as he was now looking at his bare feet. 

“Okay.” I said

“REALLY?” Riley said shocked

“Anything for you.” 

When I said that it had a hidden meaning. I wanted to date Riley for real not as a cover up. But he’s my best friend and I really would do anything for him.
