I go back inside, close the door behind me, arm the system and lock the door. As I go to turn around I run into Dane who scares the hell out of me.
"Why were you outside?" Dane asks me.
"Um." I say hesitantly.
"Tell me?" Dane asks as he puts his arm above my head places his hand on the wall and leans towards me.
"It was Miles. I text him and told him I'm alive, he called me on facetime then hung up. Before I knew it he was knocking on the door." I say quietly.
"What did he want?" Dane asks as he moves a piece of my hair out of my face.
"Um. I guess he just had to see for himself that I was alive. But he.. uh.. He kissed me." I say quietly.
"He kissed you?" Dane asks, his jaw clenched, he narrows his eyes.
"Yeah. I told him that I wanted to be friends. I'm not ready for that kind of thing." I say as I look up into Dane's eyes.
"What did he say about that?" Dane asks.
"What can he say? Nothing he can say or do can change how I feel." I say.
"Silly dude." Dane says with a smirk.
"You're not mad?" I ask.
"Why would I be? Because he stole a kiss?" Dane asks.
"I don't know, just thought you'd be mad." I say.
"I'm not happy about it, no. But I'm not mad." Dane says. He leans in closer to me, his lips almost touching mine.
"I can't be mad when we're just friends." Dane whispers. I can feel my heart beating faster.
"Yeah, I-" I start to say then Dane grabs the back of my neck, he kisses me. I bring my hands up and put them on his chest, I want to push him away but I can't bring myself to. Suddenly the kitchen light flips on.
"My bad, I didn't see you two, Just getting a drink. What are you doing up anyways, besides apparently making out?" Jàime asks.
"Uh, I couldn't sleep. Then Miles stopped by. Dane woke up and yeah. Here we are." I say.
"See. Condoms." Jàime laughs.
Dane smirks, then puts his head down to hide it and lets out a quiet little chuckle.
"Oh my God. Can you ever just.. Not?" I say to Jàime embarrassed. She shrugs and laughs again.
"I'm going to bed." I say as I grab Dane's hand and lead him upstairs.
"Mmhm. Have fun." Jàime says jokingly.
"Ass." I say under my breath as Dane and I walk upstairs. Dane chuckles.
I get to my door, open it then we go inside my room. I let go of Dane's hand and crawl into bed. Dane follows behind me climbing on the bed and sitting at the end of my bed. I lay in bed for a half hour trying to sleep, just as I doze off I hear Dane say my name.
"Gemma? You awake?" Dane asks.
"Yeah." I answer him quietly.
"I'm not even tired." Dane says as we lay in the darkness.
"You can go watch TV or something." I say.
"Would you come with me?" Dane asks.
"Yeah. I can. I'm not really that tired." I say as I sit up.
Dane stands up then takes my hand to help me up.
"Such a gentleman." I say with a smirk.
"Not always." Dane whispers seductively.
