I'm falling for my bestie

Chapter 16: I think she likes me too

Chapter 16: I think she likes me too.

Ashley's POV:

I woke up the next morning at eight.

Why do I wake up early on weekends? Its so annoying. I turned to see that Davis's head was on my left shoulder while his left arm was wrapped around my torso. He was still deep asleep.

I blushed when I saw this. He was cuddling me. I tried to move his hand but just like before, he had a firm grip and his arm didn't budge.

So once again, I was trapped in Davis's arms and I had to wake him up in order to get out of bed.

"Davis" I said as I shook his shoulder. No response.

This was a complete Deja vu.

"Davis" I said again as I shook his shoulder again.

"Mmmmmm" was the reply.

Wow. Deja vu.

"Wake up. Let go of me. I need to use the washroom" I lied so that it doesn't become deja vu once again.

"Just stay" he groaned as he snuggled his head in the crook of my neck again.

"Wake up you heavy elephant" I joked.

Really Ashley? Couldn't you think of anything better?

His head shot up as he smirked.

"What did you call me?" he asked with a smirk.

Uh oh. I am in big trouble.

"A heavy elephant?" I asked, unsure of what to say.

"Your dead" he smirked as he jumped up and began tickling me. I screamed as I laughed. "Stop!" I yelled while I was laughing.

"Say that Davis is the hottest guy ever." he said tickling me harder.

"Davis is the hottest guy ever" I said as I gasped for air while laughing.

"Say that Davis is amazing and he has awesome abs" he said with a smirk as he continued tickling me.

"Davis is amazing and has awesome abs" I shrieked while laughing and trying to get him to stop.

"Good" he said as he stopped. I was lying on the bed panting heavily.

He lay on top of me and supported his weight on his elbows on my sides. No point in denying it anymore. Even as a teen, I knew that I'd fall for his amazing good looks and his boyish charm someday. Well, the day has come now.

His eyes pierced into mine as he stared at me with a serious expression. I looked at him in the same way. We stayed like that for sometime before he finally spoke up:

"Ashley things have been changing between us lately. I know that I do affect you and you affect me in the same way. Do you like me?"

My eyes widened as I gasped. Did he just ask me that? Well I'm not going to say 'yes' and make our friendship weird but something in my mind told me not to say 'no'.

"I don't know" I replied as I looked away from him.

He cupped my chin and tilted my face towards him so that I was facing him.

"Well, at least that's better than a 'no' which would be 'self esteem breaking' " he replied with a smirk.

That didn't specify anything. I don't think he likes you Ashley. He never will.

Well my inner voice was right. Davis was never going to like me. No point in raising my hopes. The only way I could stop liking him was by avoiding him.

I sighed as I got off the bed and walked into the shower. After showering and changing into blue jeans and a white pink Floyd T-shirt, I wore my white Jordan's and put on my black jacket. I left my hair open in its normal style and put on light mascara and lip gloss.

I walked down the stairs and spotted Davis in the kitchen. He turned to face me when I entered the kitchen and gave me a breathtaking smile.

Stop Davis. I'm trying to get over you.

"Going somewhere?" he asked.

"Yeah. I'll be at Jade's. See ya." I replied as I turned and walked towards the door.

I walked out of the door and sighed. Why did this have to happen? I'm already regretting falling for Davis.

For the first time in twelve years, I fell for him.

------------------------

Davis's POV:

After the scary movie marathon, we both went to bed. I was just lying in bed thinking about what happened in the kitchen, when I heard Ashley screaming.

I jumped off my bed and ran to her room. She was clutching her blanket tightly and asking someone to let her go. I rushed towards her bed and sat down besides her as I gently shook her, asking her to wake up.

In my mind, I hoped that Sean wasn't the cause of this nightmare after what happened in the ice cream parlor.

Soon she woke up and I hugged her while I gently rubbed her back.

I hated to see her this way. For the first time, she looked baffled and lost. I hoped that I would never see that side if her again. After I spoke to her about it, I fell asleep next to her.

My head was on her shoulder while my hand gripped her waist. This night was getting better and better.

-------------------

After I tickled her and made her praise me, I lay on top of her and asked her whether she likes me. I was just joking around but actually, I really wanted an answer.I was worried that she would say no but she said she doesn't know.

Well, that reply didn't break my heart into a million pieces. Although the answer was still not clear, I think she likes me.
