Wait, I love you.

Chapter 4

A couple of days pass without anything happening but I feel like there's been alot of tension between us... romantic tension. Like after Brittany left and we finished the episode there were alot of times when there was alot of extended eye contact and it felt like he was trying to tell me something, or that he was trying to think of something to say that had to do with him liking me, it was probably all in my head because I just want it so bad.

It's two nights after I've broken up with HER and I don't really even think about her anymore, she's nothing but a healed scar in my mind that's faded so quickly I forget that we even spent any time together. I'm sitting on the couch watching the X-files, and I'm nearly asleep when Dan comes in the room and sits closer to me that he usually would, this is also something that he's started doing since me and Brittany broke up. I'm thinking about leaning over on Dan but I can't, I just can't! We're friends and he probably really wouldn't enjoy that and he'd probably be weirded out. I try to fight the urge to lean on him for a while but because I'm tired I'm not very aware of what I'm doing and oops... I've leaned over on Dan and OH MY GOD HIS ARMS ARE LAYING ACROSS ME!!! My stomach gets butterflies and does flips. We sit like this, me on my side, my head laying on Dans lap, with my legs up on the couch with his arms relaxed around me for about ten minutes. I'm almost asleep when I feel him gently tapping me and saying,

"Lets get you to bed." He strokes my side and back so insanely gently until I wake up. I sit up and exclaim,

"S-sorry, I must've fallen asleep uh um--" Dan leans in and wraps his arms around my waist, I lean in also and I'm so confused as to what is going on. His lips push on mine and I lean back because I don't understand what's going

"You were rambling and you're so cute when you're tired like this I j-just could--"

I interrupted him by grabbing his lower back and pulling him towards me, his soft lips gently embrace mine. Whoa. This is amazing, but I'm really tired, so much so that I almost feel like I'm drunk, I lean out of the kiss and say,

"Dan, I really like whatever this is that's going on... but I'm really really tired and I kinda need to get to bed." His smile turner into a smirk,

"Can we um... Sleep together, I mean it's winter and my roo-"

"Yes, Dan, I thought you'd never ask" I reply because I can see his train of thought going nowhere.

We both stand up at the same time and he wraps his arm around my waist to guide my exhausted body to my room, were both already in our pajamas. He pulls back the blankets and we crawl into bed. I rest my head on his warm chest and pull my leg up and wrap it around him, I feel like a monkey that's wrapped itself on a branch for safety.

"Goodnight Phil." His words hit my ears and flowed through me like honey,

"Mmmh" is all I can reply with because I'm just that tired.
