You're My Cassette

12- What does that mean?

Lily's POV-

I look up and see Ian sitting on the bed without a shirt on, his back facing me.

I freeze.

I don't know why I stopped. I have seen I'm in a swimsuit before. I have been to his house many times where he just changes his shirt.

Why does this feel different?

After what feels like hours, Ian senses my presence and just glances at me.

he grins

He stands up and walks closer to me. I couldn't move. I just followed him with my eyes. As he gets closer, he leans down right next to my ear and says, "take a photo, it lasts longer." My eyes widen.

What! What does that mean?

The ends of his lips creep up and walks away into the bathroom.

I try to get myself out of shock by walking to the bed. I sit there then I hear the shower turn on. He must be getting in the shower. Good, that will give me time to sit here.

I don't know why I froze. I don't know why he looked so... into it. That's not the right word but it's like he flirted with me? But I don't see him like that. He is like a brother to me.

Yeah, I have to just forget about it.

I can't get the pasted the feeling of this whole trip has felt... different.

Like there is some sort of unexplained feeling. But I can't put my finger on what it is. I guess I'll just get dressed in some pajamas and go make some hot chocolate that I brought, in case I felt like making some.

I pick up my suitcase and search around at the bottom of it to find some of my pjs.

^her pajamas^

I wanted to wear something that is cozy but not going to make me to hot. This outfit works out perfectly.

I finish up and head downstairs to the kitchen bringing along my box of hot chocolate. I grab a glass and fill it up with water from the tap because we don't have any milk. This'll have to do for now.

I finish up my glass but stop and think.

Do I make Ian one?

He might not be out of the bathroom yet and it'll get cold. I guess I should though, if I make him one it'll get a conversation going so it's not awkward. I turn around and make him a glass.

-Ian's POV-

I hurry up and close the door.

I can't believe I just said that. I've never been that cocky before or let alone flirt with a girl! I have no clue where that came from.

But I'm kinda glad whatever in me talked.

I've been trying so hard to hint at the fact that I think I've grown feelings for Lily. I just can't find a time or way to tell her. I barley can except the fact sometimes. I tried to push it away, for the sake of our friendship.

I walk over to the shower and turn it on. I walk back to the mirror to let it warm up.

I just can't hide it anymore. Everyone already knows not to go close to Lily. But I want everyone to know that she is mine. No one else's. I will be the only one to see her beautiful face in the morning. I will be the one to make her happy. I will be the one to spoil her to no end. I will take her on her dream dates.

I will make her mine.
