What Happens in Glastonbury

Back to London

As we approached my house, I noticed the light was on in the kitchen, that's weird Zoe and Jee should be at home with their families on Christmas Day.

I unlocked the door and walked in, cautiously,

"Zo?"

"Jee"

I called, not wanting to scare them or walk in on anything. No one answered, I left Jesse in the kitchen and went upstairs to see if anyone was home.

Both of their bedrooms were empty.

Hmm that's odd I thought. I went back downstairs

"No one is here, perhaps someone just left the light on" I said to Jesse

"Yeah" he agreed. It was getting late, and we hadn't eaten so I ordered us a pizza and we sat down on the couch, I put the tv on, there was some old Christmas rerun of Men Behaving Badly on.

After eating, Jesse put a movie on I'd never heard of, and we sat like children at each end of the couch trying not to touch each other or we might get couties! Ok so that wasn't actually it, but we weren't close! It was approaching 11:30pm when he turned to me and said

"Why are you sitting so far away?" I wondered if I should be honest or not. I was.

"Uh, honestly, I don't trust myself around you" I admitted

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Like you can't control yourself around me?" He smiled, cheekily.

"No! Like I'm clumsy and I ruin everything, and I don't want to mess this up!" I admitted, he looked a little disappointed, maybe I should have just gone with not trusting myself around him because he was so gorgeous and I was worried I'd have to jump him, that seemed like the answer he was looking for, and it wasn't untrue.

"Mess what up?" He asked. Shit! Now I sound like some kind of needy stalker that thinks we're in some kind of relationship, I didn't know what to say. I sighed. Thinking. I went with:

"I just don't want to head butt you again and make you hate me"

Jesse laughed a little

"I'm always braced for a head butt when you're around!" He smiled

"But.... I'd never hate you. In fact....." he was quiet for a moment. He slid along the couch towards me, my heart started to race.

"I actually kind of really like you!" He said, looking me in the eye. His gorgeous blue eyes piercing my soul.

"Really?" I asked, surprised by this admission

He nodded

"I could probably live with a few less head butts though!" He joked, lightening the tension

"You're in the wrong place then!" I replied,

"Nah, I'm in the exact place I need to be right now" he had that look again, a look of serious intensity, I wish I had it in me to be serious and have those kinds of moments that you see in movies where the mood changes and everyone gets really intense and sexy.... but I didn't, serious made me uncomfortable. Instead, my head said I wonder what he looks like naked! Ugh, seriously I'm going there?!

He leaned in closer, I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind as I felt his lips touch mine,

"I really like you too" I said, mid kiss, my words vibrating on his lips, his eyes still closed, lips still touching he laughed. I knew I'd picked the worst time to say it but there, I'd said it.
