I was basically running around my house in excitement. My best friend was coming home!
You see, my best friend- whose name is Alex, so happens to be on a tour with his band; All Time Low. Well...he was on a tour. But now he's coming home!
God, I missed him so much. Three whole months without my best friend!
And it sucked.
I had always come with him when they had a tour, or something. But I couldn't go this time, because I had gotten the flu. And I didn't want to make anyone sick, so I insisted that I stay.
So...it was different. I don't think I've ever been away from Alex this long before.
I mean, sure we talked on the phone, but its not as good as seeing him in front of me, feeling arms travel around my body to give me his hugs.
I've always adored him. Always. Being his best friend for so long as been amazing...And I could just imagine how being his girlfriend would feel like. I think he knows that I like love him the way I do.
He doesn't say anything about it. But thats okay. And I don't mind either. Because...its better than to just keep it to myself and end up having to hurt myself everyday I try to fake it all out. Right?
So. I'm glad he knows.
An hour had passed and I calmed down from my running, and just grabbed a book and sat down in my living room. I guess I must have given the book all of my attention seeing as how two more hours had passed.
The doorbell. The doorbell was what brought me to the present.
And let me tell you. I forgot who was coming. Yeah I know, right?
So I curiously walked over to the door and opened it, only to be suffocated in a hug. The fumes from the guys' cologne made me smile and remember who was coming.
"ALEX!" And I hugged the air out of him as he hugged the air out of me as well.
"CARSON!" I felt him snuggle into my red streaked choppy hair, "You have no idea how much I missed you!"
Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
"Same h-here!" I felt a couple of tears roll down my cheeks, but he didn't hear my cracking voice since it was muffled against his sweater.
He pulled away from the hug and looked down at me, smiling as he wiped the tears away with his thumbs.
I smiled and grabbed his hand bringing him inside my home, "Come on."
"Ooh! Lets watch a movie!"
I stopped and looked at Alex, "A movie?"
He nodded, "Yeah, I just want to relax tonight, and if I go home I'll or somewhere else I'll have people all over me," He shrugged as he made his way to the living, "And I knew that if I came here we'd just chill out. And plus I want to save all that for tomorrow."
I laughed following him into my living room, "Alright. I'll make the popcorn and stuff."
I shook my head chuckling to myself, as I went a different direction and into my small kitchen.
-x-
When I had made the popcorn, I brought the bowl and two cans of coke back into the living room. Where I found Alex sitting on the floor...which was covered in all kinds of blankets and pillows, I'm guessing from the guest rooms.
"Wow, knocked yourself out eh?"
Alex grabbed the cokes and put it down as I sat down beside him leaning back against the couch along with a few pillows.
"Well you can't be too comfortable. Plus, it's just like old times." He grinned at me, before leaning back as well reaching over and pulled me against him.
I grabbed a handful of popcorn and looked at the screen, "Finding Neverland?"
"What?" I looked at him, watching as he got defensive, "I like this movie."
I laughed, "Whatever you say Gaskarth."
-x-
"Hey Car..." Alex mumbled looking down at me.
I turned away from the movie and slowly lifted my head to look up at him; "Yeah?"
"I-I really did miss you... A lot."
"...I know. I missed you too."
He shook his head, "No, like...it wasn't the same. It felt different without you there with me. Watching me sing, or play the guitar; it just felt...weird."
I didn't say anything...because I didn't know what to say. So I just let him continue.
"At the very first concert we had on the tour, I thought I had forgotten the words to Dear Maria, but then I quickly called you, and ..just after hearing your voice. I remembered. It's like...I needed you to be there with me...some how. For me to continue on anything I do," He licked his lips before continuing;
"I hate going on a day without seeing you, you know? And just when...someone mentions your name I can't help but smile. I love how you look at me, that special sparkle in your eye, the one that you never seem to look at anyone but me with.
"And just knowing you far away from me sick in bed, I felt bad. I felt bad for leaving you, but you told me everything would be all right if I just called you, and you were right. Just hearing your voice on the phone was enough for me...I...I love you Carson."
I blinked and felt a tear fall down my cheek, I couldn't believe it. All this time...I didn't know...I didn't know that I could do that to him. All of that.
I let out a small chuckle and smiled at him, "I love you too...Alex."
He smiled before saying huskily; "You know...they say love can ruin a friendship... I say we prove them wrong."
Before I could react to what he said, a pair of lips -soft, might I add- pushed against my own. The lips I dreamed to have on mine, since...well forever.
My eyes fluttered closed as I melted into the kiss, I smiled gently kissing him back.
Alex lifted his hand up and brought it to my cheek softly laying it there, before he slowly moved it towards my hair- which he put behind my ear. Pulling at the ends of my hair slightly, he brought his hand back under my chin.
He pulled away, laying his forehead against my own catching his breath, he breathed; "Be with me."
I opened my eyes surprised, I looked into his eyes, only to see them closed gently. I smiled brightly, "I will."
I watched as his eyes shot open, a smile making its way onto his lips causing his eyes shine happily.
And he pushed his lips against mine once again.
Oh. I can get use to this.
Results! =]
So..how is my writing? xD
