chapter 13 ~ more biscuits

cassie's pov

five minutes of walking with brook soon passed and we'd arrived at his destination

"asda?" i questioned, laughing. he had a huge smile glued to his face which was adorable
"why are we here?" i laughed

"you'll see" he replied, pulling me into the shop with him. he lead me straight to the biscuit isle. of course

"i didn't think you were being serious" i laughed

"choose some biscuits"

"i'm not letting you buy me any"

"okay i'll just get some for myself" he shrugged, walking over and getting a packet of biscuits

"good choice" i commented, giggling as i started to walk to the checkouts

"hey we aren't done yet" he called, grabbing my hand and pulling me back
"we haven't broke anything yet" he jokingly smirked

"i can't tell if you're being serious or not" i laughed

"i was joking, but this part is serious" he said as he climbed into one of the shelves

"okay i guess i'll just leave since i don't know where brook is" i called, slightly louder than my normal tone, and slowly started walking away.

"no don't leave me!" he shouted, trying to quickly climb out of the shelf

unfortunately for him, he wasn't successful. the shelf he was on ended up collapsing and he fell to the ground, squashing any food below him. luckily, he was on quite a low shelf

i started laughing a lot while he did the same, trying to quickly scurry back up before any attention that was attracted came to us. he managed to get up and ran towards me, grabbing my hand and running to the other side of asda.

once we got there we both broke into piles of laughter. i leaned back against the wall and brook literally fell to the ground

"how the hell did you manage to break a shelf?" i managed to get out through my laughter

"i have no idea" he said, laughing even more

we'd finally calmed down, stopping all the stares we were gaining from people who would walk past us. since he'd broke something, we could finally leave as that's what he'd unintentionally planned

"no i left the biscuits!" he cried and i kindly laughed at him

"well you can't go back now so let's just leave" i laughed, walking towards the exit. he pouted and followed me, walking by my side down streets and through the park

"come here i want a hug" he said, pulling me towards him and spinning me around to face him, wrapping his arms around me. not peter kavinsky but that'll do

i giggled, wrapping my arms around him and resting my head on his chest. one of his hands sat on the bottom of my back/waist while the other was on the back of my head, gently stroking my hair. we stayed like this for a few peaceful moments

i looked up at him and smiled to see that he was already looking down at me. i stared into his eyes for a moment before noticing they flickered between my eyes and my lips. he started to slowly lean in and i found myself doing the same until our lips gently pressed together. our lips kept slowly moving together while my arms found their way around his neck, his arms around my wiast, keeping me close

he was a good kisser - a great kisser, in fact. but there was no spark. there was no metaphorical fireworks. there was no nothing. as great is it was, i was disappointed

we slowly pulled away and i opened my eyes, smiling at him. although it wasn't what i'd expected, i was still happy we'd kissed. he smiled too, but something makes me feel like he felt the same way. it was the uncertainty in his eyes that made him seem like he didn't fully reach his expectations either.

"come on, we should find the others" he spoke, breaking the silence. i nodded, and we began walking back to his as that's where we guessed they'd be

we walked back in silence. it wasn't an awkward silence - just a thinking silence. both of us probably thinking about the same thing: why the kiss wasn't as perfect as we'd imagined it would be

we arrived at their apartment and like we guessed they were all here. they were all in andy and mikeys bedroom/living room/kitchen (which i still love). amelia was sat with rye, probably flirting, lexi and mikey we're cuddling and being cute, and andy was asleep cuddling into beccas side while she played with his hair and scrolling through her phone. and jack was 7th wheeling them all

"oh she's here we can leave now" amelia laughed as she stood up. i'm sure i saw rye slightly frown. becca gently moved andys arms from around her waist and stood up, and lexi got up from cuddling mikey

"no don't leave" mikey pouted, mainly speaking to lexi

"i can come see you tomorrow?" she asked and he smiled

"okay" he beamed, and i smiled at how cute they already were. i'm sure andy would have reacted but he was asleep

we said our goodbyes to the boys and left, heading back to lexis because apparently that's where we all live
