I haven't been to the roof yet , in fact i haven't explored much of the building , and I wouldn't want to do it alone so here I am bringing Brandon to the roof in the middle of the night , I could of waited until morning but I just couldn't help it ! The sky is so pretty and even though I was never good in science class I still love stars ...

"Are we there yet!" I hear Brandon huff behind me , "we've only gone up 6 steps you lazy tart!" I shout , a smile on my face . "Well ... Don't ... you ... think ... I've had... enough exercise... for one day!" His voice cracking at the end of his sentence "you mean that snowball fight?" I say laughing "Exactly!" He shouts exasperated. I continue stepping up until I reach the top. "Wow" I whisper under my breath, the wind whispers in my ear and I feel my fringe brush on my face . "Robert it's so pretty!" I hear Brandon say behind me " climbing the stairs was worth it" I say in agreement "yup, and that elevator ride" He laughs lightly . We walk over to a spot on the roof that looks comfortable enough to sit on . And we sit down , just gazing at the sky , the starts twinkle and I swear I can see the milky way .

Everything is quiet

But not a bad quiet . More like comfortable silence . I look over at Brandon and see the his eyes twinkling from the star light, a small smile on his face. He looks at me , I look away , feeling a small blush on my face. I look up at the stars again , hoping he doesn't notice the awkward atmosphere .

"Your eyes are twinkling" I hear Brandon say softly . "So are yours I point out, looking back at him . Our eyes lock, my heart pounding in my chest . "Your beautiful spork" he whispers "shut up" I mutter and roll my eyes playfully. He laughs and looks back at the sky ... then I notice him laying down. "What are you doing?" I ask raising an eyebrow "i got a better view down here" he says simply. "Mind if I join you?" I say a smile spreading on my face . He closes his eyes and nods , so I lay down next to him and close my eyes ... listening to our breathing , the light breeze and chirping crickets in the distance.

My eyes suddenly snap open as Brandons fingers brush against mine , and my heart starts pounding. All I want to do is slide my hand into his but Im hesitant ...

he has a girlfriend! I mentally shout at myself. Jerking my hand away . Brandon just mumbles something about his hand being cold and I instantly feel disappointed , was he just trying to keep his hand warm , or did he want to hold mine , just as much as I want to hold his? These thoughts swirl around in my head , the calm atmosphere from before has gone down the drain as anxiety eats my thoughts. This is not how I want to remember this night... and there's only one thing to do .

"Brandon?" I ask , my heartbeat getting faster "mmhmm?" He murmurs eyes still closed "can I hold your hand?" I ask squeezing my eyes shut "that's what I was trying to do you spork" he gently says , sliding his hand into mine , and it's almost as if two puzzle pieces clicked together .

I felt a swarm of butterfly's rise In my stomach , heat rising on my cheeks, and I feel my heart beat hammering in my chest . How is he ok with this?! ... I look down at our hands and smile to myself , thinking of how perfect they fit together , how nice it is to feel his warmth and skin... once again the atmosphere is calm, content and ... sleepy?
