Young love.

Why are you here

I sit up all day watching different movies and shows, playing video games. Just trying to pass the time, and to not think about.. him
I look at the time, 10:53
I better go to bed, but first I wash my face and brush my teeth.
I get into my pyjamas, a camouflage printed jumper and some pink shorts even though I just want to wear his sweater because it smells like him.
It's kinda strange that I'm already crushing on him, I haven't known him for long but I already feel like I want to spend more time with him.
I get into bed and turn off my light, I lay awake on my phone scrolling through Instagram until I finally fall asleep.

2:32 am
My phone starts ringing, I wake up and hear the rain pounding on the roof, I pick up my phone and answer "ugh Sam, why are you calling this late at night?"
"Tyler?" I hear a familiar voice say
"uh, Dominic?"
"Would you open the door?"
"What door?"
"Your door, I'm outside in the rain"
I step out of bed and walk to the front door
"Wait you mean my front do-"
I open the door and see Dom standing there, soaked. His hair messy, his eyeliner smudged, Chinese food in hand and a huge smile plastered on his face
"Tyler"
"Hey, Dom" I hang up the phone
"can I come in?"
"Yeah yeah sure" I open the door wide and he steps in
"Gosh you must be freezing" I grab a towel and give it to him
He smiles and dries his hair "Tank you love"
"So are you going to tell me why you're here at this time? You're like 15 hours too early" I giggle
"The concert I was at finished and I just wanted to hang out with you."
I blushed, "But Dom, it's 2 in the morning couldn't you have waited till the morning?"
"I'm sorry about waking ya love, I just thought you'd be up partying," he said cheekily
"No, I'm not an owl." I crossed my arms
"Thought you'd be happy to see me," he said looking through his long eyelashes
I groan "I am, but I wanna sleep."
He chuckled "then let's go to sleep"
"Okay, I'll set up the fold-out couch."
I begin to set up the couch
"Hey Dom, could you give me a han-"
I look around and he's not there
"Dom?"
I start looking around my apartment, he's not in the kitchen, not in the bathroom...
I walk into my bedroom and find him on my bed in my blankets snuggled up.
"So, I see you aren't sleeping on the couch," I said looking at him
"No, and neither are you"
"What do you mean"
He lifted his hand up out of my blankets and beckoned me with his finger to come closer.
I step towards him and sit on the edge of the bed.
He looks at me "ya know, you're the only person I know that sleeps sitting up on the very edge of a bed."
I laugh and get into the blankets.
We aren't touching but he flips over, our faces now inch apart.
"Hi," he says with a smile
I smile back, a bit of his unkept, messy hair covers his eye.
I lift my hand up out of the blankets and move the hair out of his eyes.
He puts his hands up and cups my face, I poke my tongue out at him.
"You're lovely"
I blush and cover my face with my hands
"I have no makeup on don't look"
"" You're beautiful"
I turn around and switch off the light, I lay back down next to him
"Can't see me now" I state
"Unfair." He says bitterly
I hear the shuffling of blankets and then feel an arm reach around my head and hold my shoulders.
I move closer and put my head in his chest, it's peaceful.
I build up the courage and say "listen I have to know, "
"Hmm?"he replies
"Do you have a girlfriend"
I feel his body tense up, he stops holding me as tight
"Tyler, to tell you the truth. I've never even had a girlfriend."
It's quite for a second, I start giggling
"What's so funny?"  He says bluntly
"I just can't believe, that you have never had a girlfriend. You are so friggin beautiful I thought you were swimming in girls"
"Oh dont get me wrong girls like me, but I only like the special ones." He puts his arms around me and pulls me so close and so tightly. I put my leg over him.
"Like you, you're special"
I get shivers when he said that
"i like you too."
"and you're cute, you are like if I was wearing a backpack but on the front of me"
I giggle and poke his belly, "shut up message machine"
He kisses me on the forehead and I drift off to sleep.
