RANDOM QUESTION:

Jerko's Birthday (And An Intoxicated Xavier).

As I sat on the couch and watched Frozen 2 with Xavier sitting beside me, I started thinking about what had happened a while ago.

I hadn't really thought that I would end up kissing him on the cheek but after I did, I knew there was no going back. My initial reaction was 'What the crap did I just do?' and his expression only scared me more but I soon put up a façade and acted nonchalant about the whole situation. Only after he laughed it off with me did I chill. Being carefree around Xavier was become really easy really fast.

After Xav and I came back to the house, I ended up sleeping the pain off. Xavier didn't leave my side and only woke me up when it was dinner time at 8pm. While he made spaghetti for me, Kelsi messaged me that the group would come by the house by around 11.30pm without Jen and Jerko.

The plan was simple. The group would leave those two behind and come by the house. Then, Sky will message something to Jerko at 11:55 that would make him come here by 12. As soon as he comes with Jen and opens the door, we'll scream happy birthday, surprise him, and give him our gifts.

11:15 and the two of us had finished the movie.
"I'm hungry," I said with a yawn as Xav switched off the television.

He looked at me with amusement on his face and said, "I just gave you a really big bowl of spaghetti that was really heavy barely three hours ago and you are hungry already?"
I narrowed my eyes at that and said, "I like eating. Sue me."

"Well, what do you want me to make you then?" He asked with a smile.
Yes, I didn't know how to cook at all and Yes, Xavier did. His spaghetti was really tasty too and I would have asked him to cook me something if my ego hadn't been an issue.

"Don't bother," I said as I got up with a determined look on my face. "You continue laughing while I go get myself some popcorn."
His laughter resonated through the entire floor so on my way to the kitchen -which was also on the ground floor- I yelled, "LAUGH ALL YOU WANT BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO SHARE!"

I entered the kitchen and the first thing I did was tie my loose hair into a tight bun as if I was going on some war. I searched for about five minutes before I remembered that Austin had kept the popcorn in a plastic see through box on the topmost shelf with a bunch of other junk foods.

I tried my best to reach it without getting a chair but it didn't help. My 5'7 height was falling a little short for the boxess that were far away from my reach. Just when I was about to turn to get myself a chair, I felt a presence behind me -Xavier- who said, "Don't worry, I've got it."

Him being 6 foot tall helped as he reached his arms from behind me to remove the box from the shelves above. He set them down on the counter as I turned in my place only to find him really close to me. Like, really close.

He seemed to realise the position we were in too as he lifted his arms and put them on the counter on either side of me, caging me in them. Our eyes were locked onto each other as the only thing I could focus on at the moment was our closeness. His grey eyes seemed to get a shade darker as I heard him take a sharp intake of breath.

I didn't even realise that we were leaning towards each other but even when I did, I didn't bother to stop and neither did he. With only an inch of space between us, my eyes shut on their own accord. I could feel his breath on my lips and almost taste the mint and vanilla scent off of him. Weird combination I know, but even more weirdly it was a scent that went really well together and was one I didn't really mind. Who was I kidding? I loved it.

Just when there was a sliver of distance between us, someone said, "Well, isn't this a scandalous position you two are in."

I jumped back from shock and my action caused the popcorn container to fall on the floor with all the popcorn kernels out of the box.
