Notice Me (BxB)

5: So Close

        Things have been kind of awkward since the almost kiss and we don't talk that much. Which is all I really wanted to do right now. He has been acting a bit differently. I mean, he is still acting like the 'babysitter' but he isn't acting like the guy who wanted to be my friend. He was now acting like he didn't really care. It bothered me. I found myself liking him more and more and not being able to do anything about it because of how he is acting.
        School has been going on like normal, still sucking. Mom hasn't called once, which I expected. I still just sit around in my room all day, afraid to go out and sit with him.

        Now I was just sitting in my room and going though everything. I've been trying to get my room a bit cleaner since mom left. So far I have gone though everything in my desk and dresser, and have a huge box full of stuff I don't use or need anymore. Now I am going through everything on my shelf. I was incredibly bored. I heard an odd noise from in the kitchen and it caused me to jump.
        I got up, moving my stuff away, and went out to see what it was. I found Kyler standing in the kitchen and trying to make home made pizza. The sound was him knocking a bunch of shit off the counter and onto the floor. He was crawling around trying to collect all of it. I went in and bent down to help him. I grabbed the sauce, which wasn't broke, and set them on the counter, he looked at me oddly and smiled a bit. I just nodded and stood up. He had gotten everything and stood up as well.
        "Thanks." He mumbled. I nodded and turned to go back to my room. He grabbed my arm and turned me back around.
        "What?" I said.
        "Why don't you help? I mean its been kind of awkward around here for the past week or so, so why don't be do something together, such as this, and break the ice?" He says. I stare at him for a moment before nodding. He smiles and lets go of my arm. 

        "I've never done this before." I said honestly. He smiled a bit and started making the dough.
        "I have, only once though." He said, shaping the dough and getting it ready. I nodded and smiled as he held it out like he was going to throw it. I backed up and he looked at me and gasped.
        "I can see someone doesn't have faith in me." He said and scoffed. "That's just rude." He said and flipped it up, tossing it into the air. I stepped back again, afraid of where it would come down. Surprisingly he caught it perfectly. He smiled in triumph and did it again. I laughed and he caught it. He set it on the counter, a perfect circle dough, and jumped up and down.
        "I've never done that before." He said, laughing a bit. I slapped his arm and laughed a bit as well. 
        
        We started getting the sauce, and the cheese and some toppings on it as well. He is one of those people who hates having a lot of sauce on the pizza, where I am one of the people who drowns the sauce in pizza. So we did half and half. Then we agreed on the cheese, and the pepperoni, and the olives, and the mushrooms, then we put it in the oven and set the timer. He stood back and smiled and I couldn't help but stare. His lips formed perfectly into a small smile, and it would make any girl melt. 
        Damn.
        I am really liking him more and more as time goes on. I look away and stare down at my hands. He looks up and me, still smiling and leans against the counter.
        "What now?" He asks.
        "I'm pretty sure we have to wait for it cook." I said, causing him to smile.
        "Yes, yes, I know. I meant, what shall we do while we wait?" He says. I smile a bit.
        "Well, you, should clean this stuff up, and I-"
        "Nah, how bout we both clean it up. No more, you, or I, shit." He said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and nodded. We stared cleaning and putting everything away. It took longer than expected, mostly because we are both very skilled in the sport of procrastination. We ended up laughing about some stupid shit, and then that led to other things, and finally we got back to cleaning as the pizza had like ten minutes left.
        I wiped off the counter, we had spilled sauce on it, and he cleaned up some of the cheese we spilled. I put the sauce in the fridge and turned around just as he did, and we were face to face. Our chests almost touching. We were so close I could feel his breath on coming down on my face. Neither of us pulled away though, we just stood there, staring at each other for a few minutes. Then he suddenly moved closer, pressing his chest against mine, and backing me up into the fridge door. I felt my face and neck heat up and I looked away, not wanting him to see me blush. He gently grabbed my chin and turned my face towards his, slowly he leaned down, his nose touching mine. All I could think at that moment was "Kiss me." Those words replayed over and over again in my head.
        He slowly leaned closer, his lips lightly brushing against mine, when the timer beeped and we both jumped away. I pressed my back against the fridge and he jumped back and bit his lip, turning to get the pizza.

        I took a deep breath and sighed, I really wanted him to kiss me. He pulled the pizza out and I glared at it.
        "Stupid pizza, ruining the moment." I muttered as he sliced it into a few pieces. He didn't seem to hear me so I stepped over and got a slice. He grabbed one as well and we both went into the living room. He turned the TV on and we sat there in silence, eating, and watching the stupid TV show.

        All I could think while watching the person on the show run around trying to find this woman, was, "I wish he would have kissed me."
"I wish the pizza timer didn't go off."
"I wish, I wish, I wish."
