chapter 5 - the date

it's now 5:30.

i have butterflies in my stomach. i've never been on a date before. is it even a date? does he like me? fuck, i don't know.

i have on a cute white crop top, an oversized black hoodie, and black sweatpants along with vans.

i arrived at hamzahs house and knocked on the door. i took a deep breath before i heard footsteps walking up to answer me.

the door opened to hamzahs smiling face. i got a whiff of cologne. he was wearing a polo shirt and sweatpants. i guess we both have the comfy vibe down, but i blushed at the fact that he wanted to impress me with his cologne.

"hamzah!" i smiled. he smiled back and leaned in for a hug. he put his hands on my waist. this gave me butterflies. we both pulled away and he welcomed me into his new home.

the smell of pine and wood filled my nose.
i noticed it was rather empty in his house, which made sense because he had just moved in. i also saw that we were the only ones here.

holding my hand, he guided me over to his room. i blushed at the slight and comforting touch of his hand holding mine.

"sorry for the boxes everywhere, i sorta just moved in and i have a lot of things to unpack," hamzah gave me forced pouty face.
i looked up at him. "hamzah it's no problem at all," i said with genuine honesty. i didn't care about the mess, as long as i with him.
he smiled at me.
"oh and if you want i can sit on the floor, i only have my bed in here and- " hamzah blurted.
"hamzah," i laughed, "you don't have to sit on the floor. your bed is perfectly fine."
he smiled at me and we got settled in his comfy bed. he touched my thigh softly as he put the blanket over me. this gave me butterflies.
he turned on The Vampire Diaries. about 15 minutes into the episode, i inched closer to hamzah. i glanced at him and his cheeks were pink. i looked away and kept watching the show. i flinched and almost jumped at the screen.
hamzah laughed at me.
"hamzah! it's not funny!" i exclaimed with a smile i just couldn't hide.
"yes it is!" he shouted with a goofy smile.
"come here y/n, i just can't help how adorable you are sometimes," he whispered.
hamzah gently pulled me to his chest and suddenly we were cuddled up together. i blushed and my face was bright red.
he glanced over at me and noticed how pink my face was. i couldn't help it.
"aww did i make y/n blush?" hamzah said in a sarcastic high pitched voice.
i looked up at him with a fake annoyed face.
"yeah that's cause i like- " i stopped myself before i said any more. my heart seemed to stop.

hamzahs eyes widened. "what did you just say?"

i paused for a moment and sat up straight. i thought about it. it wouldn't hurt if i just told him right?

i looked at him in his beautiful brown eyes.
"i like you, hamzah. like, more than a friend." i whispered.
by his silence i couldn't tell if i did something wrong, so i immediately regretted saying that. "i'm sorry i probably shouldn't have said that. sorry if i ruined our friendship, i just-"

hamzah stopped me by putting his finger against my lips. i stopped talking and i felt my cheeks turning pink. "i like you too, y/n. a lot."

suddenly all i felt was his breath against my face. we were just inches away from each other, and i felt the world around us stop.
he brushed his thumb against my cheek and i closed my eyes as he leaned in to kiss me.
he kissed my lips gently and i kissed him back. he moved his hand to my waist as he kissed me, which made me blush even harder. i put my hand in his soft curly hair.
we stayed this way for a moment, just kissing each other.
we both pulled away and i put my head in his chest.
i could feel him smiling. i was smiling too.

i'm finally happy.
