Flat Mates-Part 2

You shook your head and walked into your living room. The lads had made themselves comfy on your sofa. "Hey..thats my seat!" you giggled at "Sorry darlin.." he smiled getting up and sitting on the floor. You sat between and . You all sat and watched T.V. for a while. Well...the lads watched T.V. You were too busy thinking about what had said. 'What did he mean by that...?' you asked yourself puzzled. Suddenly the phone started to ring-you jumped. "Thats probably gonna be ...do you want me to get it?" asked. "Er...yeah. Please.." you replied quietly. As he got up to answer the phone put his arm around you and gave you a squeeze. "Tah..think I needed that" you told him. "No probs" he replied. You overheard having a go at on the phone. "Still cant believe what he did... What an asshole. Or was it my fault for not realising sooner? Its my fault aint it..." you mumbled. and turned to you. "Nooo... dont think that! It is not your fault ok..you are so better off without him!" told you. "Yeah...and he's a muppet to throw away what he had with you.." said. "I wouldnt..." he stopped. You looked at him.. Something inside you was saying..'what is he getting at?' smiled to himself. reappeared. "Well I told him where to go!" he said proudly. Everyone laughed. "Hope you werent too-no wait. I hope you did give him an earful" you said. "Yeah...I told him how upset you were and if he ever tried to hurt you again that he'd have us to deal with!" explained. "Good..." you said smiling at them all.

A bit later on had nipped back to his flat for something. "?" you said. "Yep.." he said as he turned around. "Why was you smiling when said that thing before? And why dya think he said it?!" you asked him. He laughed again. "Its cos he likes you. And I was smiling cos you havnt figured it out yet!" he told you grinning. "What? He dont like me...does he?!" you asked surprised. "! Does fancy ..." he called into the kitchen. "Yeah..." came the immediate response. You sat stunned on the sofa. "Really...how do you know?" you asked again. "Its so obvious. And you like him... He's probably been waiting till you were single-" he stopped knowing that was now a sensitive area. You thought for a minute..but because of what had just said about you being single now angry thoughts about came flooding back. "You're wrong . I dont like him in that way... He'll realise that soon enough..." you told . "Sorry . I didnt mean to push it on you.." he said apologetically. You calmed down a bit... "Its ok..its me. I need time to think about it all..dya mind if I ask you to go?" He smiled. "Not at all babe. Whatever you need...give us a ring if you need anything yeah?!" he said hugging you. You nodded. and walked towards the door just as opened it. "Where you going?" he asked the lads. "Givin some space..." told him quietly. You smiled at and he nodded and said 'Ok then.. cya later?" "Yeah..." you replied. The door shut. 'I dont like him...and Im sure he doesnt. and have just got it wrong..they have...' you told yourself as you tried to push the thought to the back of your mind.

2 weeks later...

"Oh...that is so not fair!" exclaimed. "Aaah...come on. Its your turn and you have to do the dare..." you told him. You and the lads were playing Truth or Dare. had chosen 'Dare' and had come up with run down the flat corridor with nothing on. He frowned. "Come on " you laughed pulling on his shirt. "Fine!" he said. "But you lot are well gonna regret this!" Everyone laughed. He pulled off his shirt and jeans. "Everything off!" said. He sighed, turned around and pulled down his boxers, his hands covering himself. You all edged him towards the door, opened it and pushed him out. "Go on then run..." told him. He sighed again but started to run down the corridor. You all fell about laughing as you watched him run to the end of the corridor and back. Back in the flat got dressed again and you all sat down. "Your turn..." he said grinning at . He cringed as he thought about whether to take a 'Truth' or a 'Dare'. "Er.....dar- no truth. That way I can stay dressed!" he said. "OK...let me think. Oooh I have it!" he said smiling. You looked at he was looking at you...then at and then back at you. "No.." you said. "What?" said. " dont." "Aaaww.." he moaned. You gave him your 'look' and he sighed and said "Alright...I know.." as he continued to ask a question, you stood up and walked into the kitchen. You sighed. You stopped cos you knew what he was gonna ask...'Do you fancy ?' You didnt wanna know the answer...or did you? It just confused you when you thought about it. It'd had been ages since him or had brought up that subject and you had just got over . And now you were getting all confused again. "Hey...you ok?" asked as he walked into the kitchen. "Yeah...Im fine. Just wish hadnt of made me think about liking me..." you said quietly. He nodded. "I got an idea. You've been a bit down lately...I think you need a night out. Yeah.. a night out with me and the lads-you'll be sorted." he grinned. "Yeah.." you laughed. "Yeah..you're right!" "Course I am!" he said. "Hey..., ! We're going out..." he shouted as you both walked into the living room. They smiled. "Great!" said. "Right... be ready for half 6 and we'll come and collect you!" told you. "Oooh...you'll collect me!" you giggled. "Yeah...be ready!" he told you. "Ok!" And with that you bundled them out the door and they were gone.

It was quarter past 6. You switched off your hair straighteners and stood up to get dressed. As you pulled on your jeans a photo of you and the lads caught your eye. You picked it up and smiled... You couldnt help noticing how cosy you and did look together. 'Do I...like him?' you asked yourself. Your mobile beeped. You put the photo down and read the message. 'We are ready...be there for you in 10 minutes...love x.x.x' You smiled, put your mobile on the bed and grabbed your top. You were just putting your last coat of mascara on when you heard the lads fall into your flat. "You ready?!" came a voice. "Yep.." you smiled walking out. "Wow..." mumbled. and smiled at his expression. 'You're looking pretty good aswell' you thought. You surprised yourself with that thought and smiled. "Where we going then?" you asked them. "Bowling! Well thats where we're going first...not sure about the rest of the night!" said. "Cool...I'll just grab my jacket!"

"Strike!" shouted. "Another one?!" you exclaimed. Bowling was fun...but you had realised that you werent that amazing at it! This had to be 's favourite game cos he hadnt stopped smiling all night. Saying that neither had ... As the night went on you found yourself constantly with him. What surprised you even more was that you enjoyed being with him constantly. Before all these confusing thoughts about whether you liked him or not he was just your mate. A really good mate... but you were gradually beginning to see what and had been telling you about. He does always seem happier when you sit near him, he does seem 'loving' towards you. You suddenly realised something..he had been gradually getting more and more 'loving' throughout the night. Did this mean you were responding to him? You walked over to . "Hey...can I ask you something?" you whispered in his ear. "Course.." he replied. "Have I... er...been flirting with ?" you whispered even quieter. He burst into laughter... "What?" you asked... "Aaahh... ..if you are asking me that question you already know the answer.." he said. You swallowed...he was right...you did know the answer...you had been flirting with all night! smiled at you and nodded his head in 's direction. "Im just..er goin to the loo..." you mumbled as you walked away from the lads. "What was that about?" quietly asked . "She's just realised something.." he whispered back. "Oh!" he replied smiling. In the toilets you looked at yourself in the mirror. 'God...how stupid am I? Im so thick...They've been telling me all along...He likes me..I like him..' you thought. 'And Im gonna do something about it!' you smiled and walked out of the toilets.

As you arrived back at where the lads were sitting you headed for . You pulled him up off his seat and by holding his hand lead him away from and . You found an empty sofa and sat down. sat next you. "What you doin?" he asked puzzled. "I er... need to tell you something. A few weeks ago I had a dream...and you were in it. You er...said I would find something that I was looking for soon... and then after the dream-when I was awake.." you paused. was still looking puzzled. "You er..told me after my dream that I had found what I was looking for. But when you said it..I didnt understand." you continued. "Oh...but you do now?" he said smiling. "Yes...yes I understand. Well I hope I do..." you said looking straight at him. "And..." he said looking straight back at you. "And this.." you said as you leant forward. You kissed him gently then pulled away. He was smiling... "Yeah... I think you understand..." he mumbled as he leant forward and kissed you. His hand stroked your face. As you stopped kissing your hands found each other..You both looked at your hands... "I understand completely.." you grinned.

You and are together now...obviously. He moved out of his flat and moved in with you...but you're obviously more than flatmates!
