more than friends?

"Good morning lil pie" he says, supporting his weight on his elbow.

My eyes see the room a bit dark. The curtains are closed so it looks like is 6 am. It gives a really good vibe to the room. But God, I must be looking crazy as hell.

"Hi." I say, itching my eyes. I can see Andy with a huge smile on his lips, like if sleeping next to me after drinking his sadness away, was the best thing that ever happened to him.

I can't help but smile too. The sight of Andy waking up in my bed is nothing like I imagined. I dreamed of him sleeping under white covers in a hotel room, with no clothes on and having the most peaceful sleep ever. But it was not that accurate, because I was always waking up with red lipstick on from the night before.

"How long have you been awake?"

"About 15 minutes." he says, lifting the covers up to his chest.

"So you have been watching me sleep." I conclude.

"You look like a Renaissance painting." He says, holding my hips with his free hand.

I giggle. I feel such a fool for him right now. He looks too good to be true. But one thing holds me back: Andy broke up with Joanna, but he loved her too. His heart is not mine totally. He's divided between the long-lasting crush on his friend and the promised love and stability of a perfect-looking musician. I know he's hurt, heartbroken. But maybe I could be the one to fix him.

"I really wanna kiss you right now." he says leaning forward.

I stop him. "I may have bad breath."

"I don't care at all."

This time, he's bold. He comes with full tongue and pulling me desirably, that makes me moan between his lips. I feel a smile forming on his mouth and I instantly smile back. My hands caress his cheeks and ears and our legs get intertwined. The warmth of his touch was making me crazy. For a moment, I forget everything we've been through... I just care about this kiss and this bedroom. It can be my everything.

"You'll have to talk to her." I say, interrupting the kiss.

"No." he says, but his lips are still kissing mine.

"You'll have to go home." I say sitting. "You guys will have to talk when you get home."

"This is no big deal, I'll pack my things and go."

"But if she changed her mind? What if she wants you back? Do you think she regrets it?" I bombard him with questions.

"Even if she changed her mind, I don't want her back. I want you."

Our foreheads touch. His nose gently rubs mine and he continues. "I don't want you to have doubts about us. I'm gonna love you, cherish you... I'm gonna treat you as you have never been treated before. I'm gonna make love to you like crazy and..."

That was enough for me to start giggling. Although being everything I wanted to hear from him, it was weird to actually listen to him saying these things. He is being devoted and passionate, but we're not even a thing. The only thing that scares me is not being able to give what Joanna could give him.

"It's too soon to put a label on us." I say pulling up the covers.

"Do you think so?" he asks, leaning his back on the mattress.

"I mean... you just got out of an engagement and... I don't know, I think you should have some time for yourself." My biggest fear is of him regretting his decision. He might have a different kind of love for me. Friend love, I guess.

"You're not happy with us being more than friends?" he looks confused.

"I like it, I really do. I don't want to be between you and her and all these complicated emotions. Just take a time to organize your thoughts."

He opens a smile, convinced. "Do you know my thought right now?" he asks, but I instantly deny with my head. "I'm thinking how I did not ask out back then. How I did not make the first move and how I didn't ask you to the prom."

"That's in the past Andy." I say, but still a bit sad for the delay.

He caresses the back of my hand with his thumb and for some seconds, I feel genuine happiness. Nothing could make me regret kissing him last night and sleeping next to him for the pure comfort of my heart. I never thought that this would happen like this. After all, I should have gone to the studio to see him on that day. But there's something, a question, that's buzzing in my head. What about Joanna? If she really loves him, she'll go after him. I believe all the fights are not a good excuse to end up a relationship. She's clever, she didn't buy it.
