Aurora
I'm working in a bar. Guys are flirting with me all the time, because what is better than a woman serving alcohol?
Shooing off the flirty guy didn't go exactly according to the plan, and after one stupid lie, I had to go on a date. With a guy, I didn't know.
But what if - just theoretically - I get to know him better. Our meeting might've been a coincidence, but our friendship wasn't.
Being with him is a time full of fun and it soothes my mind. I think he enjoys it too. Accidents happen. But accidents can't change what you feel about someone, can they?
Q: If the line between friends and more is starting to blur what can I do to stop it?
A: Nothing. This situation is far off from fixable.
My lie brought more trouble than I originally thought. Now the only things I have to guard aren't just my thoughts. My heart is there, too.

"Why did you drink Zion?" I asked him locking the door. "I don't know." He mumbled walking closer to me. "Do you need water?" "No I don't, I said I'm not drunk just a little bit drunk. He muttered. What the hell? "How many fingers are these?" I asked him raising four fingers up. "Four." He rolled his eyes mumbling something under his breath. "Okay." I muttered holding his hand. "I'm mad at you Carter." He said giving me an intense stare. "Said that before, what did i do?" I chuckled. "You are playing with my head." He muttered. "I'm sorry." I whispered, I don't know why I'm apologizing to him but it's Zion when I'm around him I do a lot of things I can't explain. "Sorry is not enough, it can never be just the same way I can never be enough." He said. "You are drunk Zion." I whispered. "I want to kiss you." He mumbled biting his lip. "You are drunk, you won't remember all this tomorrow." I told him. "I'm not, I know what I'm doing. I promise you I will remember all this tomorrow something that a drunk person can't." He answered holding my waist. "Who told you all this?" I asked smiling. "Saw it in movies, people have sex, do crazy things and can't remember because of alcohol, but I promise I will remember especially if you let me kiss you." He said his eyes raking over my body.

HI it's me! C'mon you know who this is! At least I hope you do because truth be told who I am anymore is a lot more of a complicated matter than I'd like it to be. It's all 'cause of him too, or maybe I'm just blaming the new guy for my newfound insecurities about her- about me I meant to say. Who am I kidding it doesn't matter what I say to you! You only exist in my head anyway! Maybe I really am going off the deep end.
Starting With You
Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything?

"Are you sure that I don't make you nervous when I get closer to you?" he teased me. Each word he said he took a step closer to me. By now my heart was pounding so loudly that I thought he might be able to hear. Being near him made my thoughts all jumbled up but I wasn't going to accept that, especially not to him. So I stuttered a no. To which he smirked as if he knew I was lying. "Okay, so you don't get goosebumps or shivers when I do this, right?" he murmured as he gently traced my arm. And almost on cue, goosebumps arose where his hand had been on my arm. "Why do you have to lie? I told you I like you and I know that you like me too then why lie?" he asked softly with his eyes staring into mine. Oh, I like him. A lot.
