Two Days Before Lloyds Birthday

Lloyds POV

I woke up to my eyes in the light of the curtains. The light was just creeping in. This is good. Usually I wake up and it's almost dark outside. I hear a knock on my door. 'Come in,' I say and wriggle up into a seat position. Kai walks into the room messy hair, dimples and all. 'Nice abs,' He says with a cheeky grin. I giggle. Thats the good thing with Kai. He's so nice and genuine, and he is so nice to me. We are the best of friends, and have known each other for ages.                                         

'Watcha thinking bout?' Kai asks. For some reason my face flushes red. Why am I so nervous to tell him?

 'Just that your so easy to talk to,' I say. 

'Why thank you,' He grins and extends his hand. I take it and probably squeeze it a bit to hard. He leads me out the door and  grins at me. I get all fluttery inside. 

Last year I found out I was gay. I wasn't really surprised as I had already some feelings towards Kai. And I still do. He's just so hot and gorgeous. I REALLY want to kiss him. I don't know why but I could just leap on him right now and smother him with kisses. But I can't. Because we aren't official. That would never happen.

'You know I can read minds, right?' He says. 

I freeze in my spot. 

'S-so, you know what I just thought?' I stutter. 'Yeah but it doesn't matter, greenie,' He responds. Did I mention he is still holding my hand? Yes, its a miracle! WAIT... HE PROBABLY JUST READ THAT THROUGH MY MIND! ARGHHHHH! I shut my eyes closed and squint. He's going to think I'm a freak! Then I feel his arm gently guid me onto the wall. I open my eyes to see I am leaning on the wall and he is leaning on me. My face flushes red. 'Lloyd, I don't think your freak, you are an amazing person capable of many things,' He says. I have no idea what he's going to do next. He grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen. The moment is lost. The others obviously aren't awake yet, so that leaves Kai and I alone. Finally.

Kais POV

I help Zane, Nya, Cole and Jay with all the supplies for Lloyds Birthday party at the store. As I'm doing this I can't help but think how much Lloyd means to me. But, then a random question pops into my head. Do I like him as a friend or more than a friend? I wasn't sure what to think, and before I knew it, it was time to head back with the supplies. The hole way back I kept thinking about it. I wanted to tell someone, but I didn't know who. Nya was next to me in the back, and thats when I decided she was the one to tell. 'Hey, Nya?' I asked quietly. She looks over at me from her phone, 'Yeah Kai?' she responded and put her phone place down on her lap. 'I have to ask you something, but I want you to keep quiet and not tell anyone please,' I ask her. 'Of course,' she says. I take a deep breath and discuss it with her. 'Kai, I think he likes you, he talks about how amazing you are ALL the time.' she giggles. 'Nya.' I say. she looks at me with a smile, as if to say I am listening 'I like Lloyd, and I want him to know,' I say.
