What can i say about carson. he is gorgeous. Eyes as blue as the ocean(that sounded better in my head. a bit corny) Great flowy hair. A smile that is whiter than milk. did i mention he is SUPER tall. Yea lowkey he's that IT every girl wants.Every girl in school wants a chance with him but for some odd reason he is stuck on little ol me. HEY HEY HEY wait i know what you're thinking YOU THINK I LIKE HIM DONT YOU! well i dont. atleast not now. i dont want to ruin our friendship...i guess im just scared i might lov- never mind.
As im sitting next to carson on the bus hes on his phone. But suddenly turns and decides to talk to me.
"Hey pretty girl. you look immaculate today."
I jokingly laugh it of nudging on his arm a bit and say
"woah immaculate? did you save that big word just for me i know damn well you cant spell it."
I look away but he lightly grabs my face making me make eye contact with him. im observing his face. He finally speaks.
"Naomi i dont care how long ive known you.. you never fail to amaze me."
I pull away from his grip. " carson you know we're not...there. we can only be friends."
before i can say more he interupts me.
"God, Naomi why do you have to be so complicated. one day you're all over me, the next day you're so distant. make up your mind becuase i dont think i can keep doing this."
He turns away facing the bus window.
im left speechless. i never thought he would actually be straight foward with me. i know he likes. come on its obvious.
"HEY tall dude"
no answer. since he wont listen to my words. he'll listen to my actions. I take his hand and hold it. interlock his fingers with mine. He finally looks at me. i look at him just as intensely.
"hey pretty girl"
he says.
"hey tall dude" i reply.
He smiles. "Naomi " he puts my hand in his chest. "you feel that? thats my heart...every beat screams your name."
I shyly look away but turn back to him and say "i know"
I smile. He motions towards me and gently kisses my forhead. I giggle. The rest of the bus ride i lay my head on his shoulder while still holding hands. At that moment i felt happy. i felt calm. And soon i realized i was starting to look at Carson as more than just friends...
This. This is carson...
