25. The lake

James Dayton's P.O.V

The way she walks, the way she smiles and talks with me like I'm the best person she could ever talk with.

All these little things make my checks feel like fire, I am sure my face is all red and I look like a crab, but she doesn't seem to care or laugh about it.

Walking, I can't forget how her hug felt. The way her tiny hands wrapped around me, the warm Aria's body gave made me feel like I am falling harder and harder for her, every minute feels like seconds spend with her.

I don't want to stop talking and spending time with her, even if Aria keeps saying that she's a burden for me. Aria is talking nonsense and I couldn't stop her from saying this, I remember how her face scrunched adorably before.

Even when she is sad, she is beautiful.

Aria always is.

"Are you even listening to me?" She asks and I gulp, I turn around and shake my head, being honest.

Maybe now she will think I am not interested or I'm rude. The only thing that takes my mind away from listening to her stories is in fact her.

Aria is always in my mind, even when I have an exam or I'm learning for my average grades.

She gasps, placing her hand on her heart, I can't control the laugh that escapes me when I see how offended Aria got.

If only she knew I didn't listen because I was observing her beauty. Her eyes, the way they shine in the sun's light, brown, even if people think brown eyes are boring, I think hers are amazing. Her fingers that seem so small comparative to mine, all her features are so amazing, what is she doing with me here again?

"I guess not." Aria talks again and I realize again I didn't respond, like the idiot that I am.

The perfect way to speak with your crush. To not seem interested in what she is saying.

"Umm sorry, I was distracted. What were you saying?" I ask and feel my cheeks get red again, all the fucking time.

"I want to get a dog. But my parents don't let me."

Pouting, Aria looks at me like I could solve her problems, sadly I can't. If I could, I would buy her all the dogs in the world, just to see her happy and smiling.

"Umm why?"

You awkward idiot. That's all I can say about myself at the moment, I can't seem to be able to say a normal sentence around her. I am sure if Dean or Mark would be here that they would be filming, to have something to laugh about either.

Best friends, what can I say?

"They say an animal in our clean house will do no good." She rolls her eyes playfully but I can see that Aria is frustrated with the situation.
