"So what do you guys want to talk to us about?", Chase spoke out, everyone waiting for an answer.

Payton and I looked down and intertwined our hands. Everyone's jaws dropped. Not knowing how to react.

"What the- wait", Emily pointed at our hands and looked at us.

Payton and I really tried not to laugh, we just stood there silent and blushed.

"Well, it was about time! Y'all so slow on this whole dating thing", Jackson took a deep breathe and put him arms around us.

"Mhm, so are y'all dating now or.." everyone in the room was interested and curious.

"I mean, we just confronted each other about our feelings a couple minutes ago", Payton stared into my eyes, waiting for me to react and say something.

I rolled my eyes playfully and said "I'm down for a serious relationship. Unless you're not-"

"Yes," Payton turned around to look at me "I'll love to be your boyfriend. I'm not gonna mess up on our relationship-"

"Ofc you won't because you're ass will be dragged", Brittany interrupted. Everyone in the group all agreed and laughed.

As I stared into Payton's eyes he was leaning in but before he can even touch me someone grabbed him from his shoulders and pulled him back a little.

"Woah there, buddy! First of, get a room. And second, that's my bsf you're about to make out with", Chase gave Payton a little pat in the back.

"Guys, c'mon..", I kinda laughed abt how protective they are.

For the rest of the day we all stayed in at Payton's house and had a sleepover.

-11:33 pm

The movie we were watching, Rookie Of The Year, finally came to an end. I was sitting next to Payton, cuddled together with a blanket on top of us. He fell asleep with his arms around my waist, his head on my shoulder.

My heart melted, he hold on to me so tight, like he never wanted to let go of me.

I looked around the room and most were asleep, until I saw Alison, Jackson and Michael staring at us with heart eyes. Kinda creepy tbh.

They were all blowing kisses and making fun of them. I kinda whispered-yelled at them,
"shut up, you wish you were us"

As I said that, all three of them said,
"yk what, you right", I just rolled my eyes and told them to go to sleep.
