(Alfie's POV)
*In his and Jerome's room*
I wonder what's up with Jerome. He's just been lying on his bed for like a half an hour just staring at the ceiling. I know that may sound normal, but he didn't even get under the covers or change into his sleepwear. He looks kind of stressed. Should I ask him about it? Or just leave him to think?
"Hey what's going on mate?" I ask him.
He sighed then replied, "I don't know."
"Well maybe I can help. Tell me 'bout it." I tried to get him to open up.
"Um…well…I kind of almost kissed Patricia." He said sitting up. I can't believe it!
"What?" I was in utter shock! "But wait, what do you mean 'almost'?"
"I was like 2 centimeters away, then victor ruined it since it was 10, then she ran away," he said sadly.
"Well, it's 10:20 now, you could so up to her room to talk with her," I said. I felt smart since I came up with a plan for once.
"Well, ya that could work but what about Mara? How do I get rid of her?" he asked. Oh yeah, I forgot about her roommate.
"Uhhh…well you could just take Patricia outside on the steps of the house."
"Ya ok, thanks mate," he said smiling and getting up to leave. He left and I felt accomplished. Jerome was my best mate and he deserved to be happy and I truly believe that Patricia can do exactly that.
(Jerome's POV)
So I'm up the stairs and I'm at her door and I don't wanna' knock and wake up Victor. So I just walked in quietly. I saw Patricia and Mara sleeping peacefully. Trixie looked so calm and cute when she slept.
"Trixie…Trixie…" I whispered while shaking her shoulders slightly.
"Wha-what's going on?" she said popping up from her pillow.
"Shhh…" I told her putting my finger to my lips. She looked confused, but I went along with the plan. "C'mon."
She didn't say anything al the way down the stairs until we got outside.
"What is it slime ball? Its freezing out here." She said rubbing her hands on either side of her arms.
I totally forgot how cold it was a night. At least I'm not in my sleepwear so I was ok, but Trixie wasn't. "Here." I said handing here my jacket. I could've sworn I saw a small blush creep up on her face.
She took it and put it on and said, "Thanks."
"No problem. So… I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier."
"Oh." She said looking down.
"What's wrong? Do you regret what almost happened?"
"What? No, it's just that, I didn't know what to say or do. I never actually thought that a guy like you would ever like a girl like me. I can't believe I'm actually telling you all this, but its how I feel. But then I thought that you were just playing a prank on me, trying to hurt me so I ran." She said eyes starting to form tears.
"How could you think that? I would never hurt you intentionally if my life depended on it. I really like you Trixie. I really do."
"Really?" She asked with a small smile.
"Really-really." I answered with a slight smirk.
"Me too." She said.
Man I felt like the happiest man alive! I took this chance to do what I've wanted to do for almost 3 year. When I knew she couldn't run away. I leaned into her, and so did she, we closed out eyes, and locked lips. She had my top lip and I had her bottom. She wrapped her arms around me and I did the same. She was playing with the nape of my neck and I never wanted to move from this spot. But I thought we were to get caught so I knew we had to go back inside.
We broke apart after about 2 minutes of a full-blown make out session and we were both smiling like idiots.
We went back inside holding hands and once we got to the bottom of the stairs, we let go of each other and gave each other a small peck before saying our good-byes and parting ways.
I went into my room and got into my sleepwear and got under the covers with a smile plastered on my face.
"I take it that it went well?" Alfie asked. I didn't even answer; I just kept smiling to the ceiling. "I take that as a 'yes'."
