The start of a crush

#JustUs

Zee POV

I lay against kara's shoulder as we watch the sunset in silence after talking for awhile. I can't help but worry for next Saturday my first show in front of an audience...if there is an audience. I sigh.

"Something on your mind?" I hear kara ask.

"A few things." I admit. Not feeling entirely confident like I usually do.

"Zee don't worry I'm sure after reading Louis's article people will want to come see your act." She tells me trying to reassure me.

"How did you know it was about that?" I ask confused that she even knew what is upsetting me.

"It was just obvious, because what else would you worry about." She laughs. "But seriously don't worry about it." She says to me placing a hand on my own.

"All try to not think too much about it." Is my response to her.

"That's good, wouldn't want you overthinking something that you shouldn't have too." She relaxes her head on-top of mine. I feel her arm wrap around my waist.

I wince at the sudden contact but relax a bit after. Has kara always been this touchy? I ask myself trying to think about it. She does give hugs but not often but she's never done something like this. I think back to the time in the arcade when she called me...her girl. I take my hand from Kara's hold using both my hands to cover my face.

"Zee...Uh are you okay." She asks confused by my sudden actions. As she sits up I do the same. Her arm leaving my waist.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine." I stutter a bit feeling the heat from my face on my hands.

"Why are you covering you face?" She asks. I don't want her to notice I'm blushing.

"No reason!" I quickly say. I slowly begin to remove my hands hoping she doesn't notice the blush on my face.

"Okay?" Is her response observing my face a bit before placing a hand on my head. "Zee your burning up." She says.

"Kara I'm fine I'm not sick." I tell her trying not to make a big deal of it, because In reality I'm not sick.

"Are you sure I think you might have a fever." She claims moving her hand to both my cheeks.

"Kara I'm fine I'm not sick." I tell her plainly. As her hands cup my cheeks I do my best not to think too much of her comforting touch.

"Okay then why is your face red and warm?" She asks. I take a deep breath trying to calm myself down. I'll just tell her it doesn't matter anyways.

"I was just blushing from a thought I had." I explain not wanting to lie to her. I start playing with my hair suddenly finding it more interesting.

"Oh...." she looks away thinking about it for a bit. "Who were you thinking about?" She asks not looking in my direction. I stop playing with my hair.

"No one important." I tell her instead placing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Are they really not important if they make you feel this way...."The way she says it sounds like she's hurt.

"Kara it's really not a big deal." I try explaining. I don't want to tell her I'm blushing at the thought of being hers.

"Zee just tell me who..."she demands.

Why does she want to know? If I tell her I was thinking about her what will she think of me I'm her friend, it would ruin everything. "Kara why do you want to know?" I ask. This seems to be really important to her for some reason.

"I just want to make sure there good enough for you." She claims. She's getting real deep into the subject already thinking of me dating the person even though it's her.

"Don't worry I know they are." I grab her hands holding them in mine.

"Can I at least know who it is?" She asks pleading, I feel my heart sink at the sight. "Please Zee." She begs.

I sigh, taking a deep breath. I decide to tell her. "I'll only tell you if you come close." I tell her. She leans in enough that I can whisper into her ear. "It's you..." I whisper into her ear. Before slowly inching closer to her face to kiss her. She's frozen from shock not moving. I can't stop myself wanting to feel her lips against mine. I lean in are lips finally touching.

Kara POV

I'm frozen in place when I hear what she whispers not sure if I heard right. She likes me? When I feel her lips touch mine. That's when I realize I heard right.

I feel her hands cup my face as she kisses me. After a few seconds of realization hitting me I wrap my arms around her waist pulling her into my lap. Pulling her closer wanting more of her soft lips. I feel her body jump a bit at the surprise of me kissing her back. I can taste her lipstick as we kiss. The kiss isn't forceful but her lips gently pushing against mine. After a few seconds we both slowly pull away. I stare into her eyes while she averts her eyes from me. Her hands going to her lap. Fidgeting with her hands.

"I'm sorry...I um didn't mean to do that." She explains a little guilt written on her face.

"Why are you sorry?" I ask her. She starts to play with her fingers.

"I didn't have your consent before doing that.." she continues to explain not meeting my eye.

"Zee I really didn't mind." I tell her, she looks at me and I send a wink her way.

A slight blush appearing in her face from seeing my face." Oh my god I am so sorry." she apologizes reaching for her bag.

"What?" I ask confused as she takes a handkerchief out placing a hand on my cheek to steady my face as she wipes around my mouth.

"I smeared my lipstick all over your mouth." She says continuing to wipe. I laugh as she continues to clean my face off. When she's done she catches my eyes staring at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asks me with a small smile on her face.

"Nothing I was just thinking.....What are we?" I ask hoping it's not to early to start talking about a relationship with her.

I can see her pending on the thought."I don't know kara..."I can see her thinking about it.
"How about we go on a date first?" She asks. Looking at me waiting for my response.

"I'd love to take you out." I smirk at her, she only laughs.
