He kissed me. I said nothing. He walked away. I called after him, 'You forgot something'. He looked at me coldly and asked 'What?' I gazed up at him and whispered, 'This'. With that, I kissed him.

Commercials

We were just sitting there laughing about this stupid commercial we saw for this stupid product. It was all really very stupid. So there we were sitting on my, very small, couch eating some cheap chocolate gateau and laughing about that said commercial. I turned my head to him and was about to tell him about another commercial I saw, but I couldn't get round to saying it because…

…that's when he kissed me.

That's right. He kissed me! It was soft but so intoxicating. Even if it lasted for about two seconds, it felt so warm. So toe curlingly incredible.

...But that's when he shot up off the sofa.

"I'm sorry," he blurted out. "I couldn't help myself. I mean it's been five years now and well I'm not one of those clichéd guys who say they've been in love with their best friend since the moment they met them, because I haven't. But I am in love with you, for a less than a year though, but this, us being girl and boy best friends, well that's just about as cliché as I get." He rambled on.

"Now I know we're only eighteen and I know how you feel about love. All that crap you say about how we're too young to know anything about love and how the term love is an overly used cliché…but it's real, I know it is, because I love you."

I didn't know what to do or say, so I just sat there starring up at his gorgeous brown eyes. It was true I had said all those things about love, but it was just a way to steer him away. I mean, he'd ask me so often, 'why don't you ever date?' What could I say? 'I'm too in love with you to go out with anyone'. Yeah I didn't think so. I made mindless crap up most of it were stuff I read from books. From the romance novels I read to try and fill love life I didn't have. You know I read somewhere that romance novels give us the hope that love is real. It gives us hope that one day we'll find love. Wow, I think that was an oh-how-deep moment.

So anyway, there I was just sitting there starring at him. I blinked. He nervously swept some of his hair out of his eyes. I blinked again. He gulped. I could see his Adam's apple bopping.

"Way to be burned," he muttered to himself. I frowned slightly not knowing what he was getting at. He stuffed his hands into his pockets. "I think I should go." He didn't give me a chance to say anything because he bolted out of my front door. The great buffoon, I thought smiling.

Realising that he could already be down the street, he honestly takes gigantic steps, I quickly threw open the front door. Surprisingly he hadn't even made it down the driveway. I could hear him muttering things like 'stupid…fool…idiot' to himself, which really does describe him well. (Wink)

"Hey!" I called out to him. I could tell he was turning every shade of red there was. I could tell that he was having an inner battle with himself as to whether to turn around and answer to me or just run. Thankfully I didn't need to get out my trainers because he turned around.

"Yeah?" he asked awkwardly.

"You forgot something," I said motioning for him to come back. I turned back inside, but before I did I saw him slap his forehead and groan. I tried not to giggle. I turned to face him as I heard him come into the room.

"You know, you could have just given me whatever I had forgotten later, you know to ease the pain," he said laughing bitterly. I rolled my eyes.

"I could've." He looked up at me with hard eyes.

"So?" he asked coldly. I took a step forward. He looked at my hands frowning. "What is it I forgot exactly?" he asked me his gaze returning to mine. I took another step forward. Our toes were touch from underneath his shoes and my socks. I smiled secretly.

"This," I whispered, and with that I kissed him.

Just as soft but, oh so intoxicatingly.

Just as warm and toe curlingly incredible.

I hate it when authors cut the story off short, you know leaving us guessing? But now I realise why they do that, because I did it, to keep you guessing ;)

Hope you liked it even if it was short! :D
