Between Two

Chapter 29

"Oh my god, he kissed you!?" I glared at Tara through the screen, quickly turning down the volume on my phone.

She FaceTimed me minutes after I got into bed because she couldn't wait until tomorrow to hear the details about the dinner with his parents.

"Yeah, and be quiet, please." She rolled her eyes, getting comfortable on her bed.

"Whatever, is he a good kisser? Oh, Chris was there too, right? Who's the better kisser?" I ignored the question, not really wanting to answer it.

"Yeah, Jonah is a good kisser and Chris was here tonight as well. I'm not answering who's better." She pouted then all of a sudden got a panicked look on her face, shoving the phone under her pillow.

I heard the rustling of her covers before it got quiet and a door being opened up. I kept my mouth closed, biting my lip to keep from laughing. A few minutes went by until I heard a door open and shut then laughed when Tara's face came back into view.

"Sorry, my dad came in to check if I was asleep. Had a near heart attack and thank you so much for staying quiet. I would have died." I kept quiet, laughing a bit more.

"You're welcome." She started rambling again about the dinner and asking me how it went and if Jonah's parents liked me.

It honestly felt like the questions were never ending, she was so curious and involved with who I was going to choose, which was no one at the moment. They're friendship was way more important than me.

I jumped when there was a soft knock on the door and Tara stopped talking, staring at me in curiosity. The door opened and I sighed in relief when Chris entered the room, closing the door behind him.

"You scared me... what are you doing?" I stood up, setting my phone on the bed while Tara started to ask who was there.

"I couldn't sleep and wanted to see if you were awake." I furrowed my eyebrows, wanting to know why he couldn't sleep.

"Well, I'm awake, why couldn't you sleep?" He shrugged, looking down at the floor.

"Is it okay if I sleep with you? I think it'll help me fall asleep since you're comforting and I won't feel alone." I felt heat rush to my cheeks while he awkwardly shifted, blushing a bit.

"Awww, let him sleep with you!" Chris slightly jumped, looking around the room as I rolled my eyes. Forgot she was still on FaceTime.

"Shut it, Tara." She told me to 'fuck off' which caused Chris to chuckle.

"So... can I? If you say no then it's totally fine." I smiled at him, shaking my head.

"It's fine, we've slept in the same bed before so it doesn't matter." He sighed in relief, quietly thanking me before walking closer to me.

I gulped when he gripped my hips, pulling me towards him, "Can I kiss you?" My breathing sped up and I couldn't speak.

"Oh my god, let him kiss you!" I wanted to face palm myself because of Tara, but I couldn't.

Chris held in his laughter, waiting for me to answer him. I didn't think it was right though, since only a few hours ago Jonah had kissed me. I couldn't do that and be that type of person.

"Chris, I can't be-" He gently pushed me back towards the bed and laid me down before moving on top of me.

Oh my gosh, what was I thinking about again?

"Can I kiss you, please?" Without thinking, I nodded and ignored Tara as she frantically asked what was happening now.

He smiled, pressing his lips against mine. I sighed against his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck. He kissed me gently and at a slow pace, taking his time while I threaded my hands through his hair.
