We walked back over from the bathroom and for the last time that night we got into our beds and wrapped the blankets around ourselves. My eyes slowly fell tired and I drifted off into dream land.
I had never really told Brock this before but I have really bad nightmares some nights, and sometimes I just can't control how I react. Just as I drifted my mind wandered to a scary place, I couldn't help it when it wandered there. "Kesley,wake up it's just a bad dream" I heard. I jolted as a woke up, opening my eyes to see the soft green ones staring back at me.
He caressed my hair with his hand, hoping to calm me down. I was already felt better, I don't need to be afraid. I felt one tear escape my eye as I quickly rose to give him a hug. As his arms wrapped around my neck, I rested my head on his shoulder.
After about five minutes of hugging and about two of awkward silence, I was finally able to fall back asleep, avoiding the dark place I was once in. I smiled as I was finally safe.
I woke up to the feeling of someone watching me, I woke up to see Brocks eyes on mine. "Hey sleepy head" he said with a giggle. "Morning" I said stretching. "Wanna go get some breakfast?My mom and dad are at work" he said. "Sure" I said getting up from my comfortable bed.
I swallowed myself in Brock's hoodie and we walked downstairs and towards the kitchen. Nobody else was awake yet so it was just us two.
"Oooh wanna make waffles?" He asked me grabbing the waffle mix from the pantry. "Yes, I love waffles" I said excitedly. "I know you do, that's why I suggested it" I said following the instructions on the box.
"You look cute in my sweater by the way, you should wear it more often" Brock said making my cheeks burn, I tried to cover them up but I guess Brock got the memo. "Hey, don't cover your face" he said removing my hands from my cheeks. "Okay" I said giggling.
Suddenly we got lost in each others eyes, he started to lean in and I did the same, our foreheads were touching at this point and we were breathing in the same air. But just as our lips were about to touch we heard "goodmorning" Boston said walking into the kitchen.
I frowned slightly. But this was breakthrough, did he really have feelings for me, or was it just in the moment? I decided to look over at Brock to find him being sassy with Boston. So maybe he did really want to kiss me.
"Hey, are you okay" I asked Brock as he put the last waffle onto the plate. "I could be better" he said with a frown on his face. "Do you wanna talk about it later?" I asked him. He nodded and brought the plate to the table.
Boston and Alyssa had a conversation while Brock and I played footsies under the table. "Okay that's enough you lovebirds" Alyssa said making us both blush. We sat in an awkward silence until we finished our food.
"Hey wanna go downstairs" Brock asked as we put our dishes away. "Sure" I said following him downstairs. He looked nervous as we walked down the rest of the steps. He shut the door behind us making me curious as to what was going on.
Brock walked up to me slightly faster paced. Before I could move his lips were pressed against mine. At first I didn't kiss back because I was so shocked but eventually I fell into it. I smiled into the kiss as he did the same. His hands moved from my face to around my neck, bringing me closer if that was even possible.
We both eventually got tired and had to pull away for air. Though we pulled apart our bodies didn't. His arms were wrapped around my neck while mine settled on his soft cheeks. Nobody knew this was going to happen, I had wanted it to for a while, but I didn't think he wanted to. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that" he said.
Without responding, I just went in once more, his soft lips were so gentile. All I could do was wrap my arms around his neck and live in the moment, because that's all we could do at this point.
"Wanna watch a movie?" He asked as our foreheads were still touching. "Sure" I said sweetly. We moved to the couch. I was unsure of how I should sit. Do I cuddle with him? Like what do I do? I'm lost. I'm just going to sit first then see what he does.
I decided to sit in the corner of the couch as it was the most comfortable spot. Brock sat oddly far away from me to my disappointment. I was pleasantly surprised when he laid his head on my lap, taking my hands signalling for me to run my fingers through his hair.
"What do you wanna watch?" I asked looking down at him. "We could watch a scary movie?" He asked looking up at me. "You know how I feel about scary movies" I said looking down at him. "I'll be here" he said sweetly. He will be there.
