Who are U?

Seventeen.

We were in the entertainment room on the couch together, he was teaching me how to play video games. He insisted. He was making fun of me, on how bad I am when playing Call Of Duty, when he completely forgot that I started playing for the first time fifteen minutes ago. It went on like this for another half hour and I started getting pissed so I just put down the controller, I folded my arms and sat down Indian style, pouting a bit.

"Aw come on Rae, it's just a game, we're supposed to have fun!" He leans on me trying to make me laugh.

I'm a competitive person, I can't help it, that's why even when having fun it gets the best of me. Daniel snakes his fingers to my side ribs and start making me laugh.

"O-ok ok, let's just watch a movie."

Our laugh dies down and he was just staring at me, he's eyes searching me. I was looking back at him too, his expression changed to happy sliding to an almost serious one. I grew uncomfortable so I just stood up to take the TV remote control.

"Let's watch the Baby Driver, where's the Netflix icon?" I try making a new conversation.

"Raven?" He calls out.

"Hm, yes?" I reply my eyes still focusing on the screen, looking for the movie in question.

I walk back to the couch, sitting next to him with my legs folded.

"Can you let me do this? Please."

"Do what?" I ask truly confused.

"Let me be the one you think of when you wanna have a late night phone call, let me be yours like more than just a friend, I wanna like you properly. And what's worse, you have feelings for me too." I was so stunned, with my lids wide open to clearly take in all of what he just said.

"Buddy that's a lot of confidence right there." I scoff trying to hold a smile.

"Then, let me prove it." He says.

"Let's just wash the rest of the dishes and we can watch the movie." I stand up walking towards the door, and stop in my track to look back at him still sitting on the couch with a slight sad expression, "When the movie's done, I'll give you my final answer, and I really want you to respect my decision, whatever it may be."

He slowly nods and stands up following me.

We were in the midst of the action scene and Daniel laid his head on my shoulder, I thought that was a cute move. He then put his hand on my thigh, and that just made me feel another type of way, I was trying my best to focus on the movie.

He intertwines our fingers together and plays with them. With my other hand I play with his hair, I kind of like that he's leaving his hair grow. I don't want it to be too long either. He lets his head fall on my thigh accommodating himself on the couch and turns to face me, his back to the big screen. He looks at me and our gaze locked to each other, then while looking at me he caresses my thigh sensually slow. I was still looking at him intently trying to steady my breath, he then lifted my shirt —well his shirt to be exact— just a bit and brought his face near my non-flat belly and laid soft hot kisses there. My eyes were dying to just roll back and enjoy the feel.

He looks up at me and squishes my belly fat, and grins. I got so embarrassed.

"Stop!! Why, just why?" I whine folding my arms on me, and he just laughs, he was just there laughing.

"I like that. It's cute." He calms down now laying on his back, with his head still on my thigh and the top of his dark hair spread out.

"Unless you have a fetish for fat women, or rather their belly fat." I rolled my eyes feeling my face all hot.
