Chapter 5

When I woke up the next day, I was just as confused as I was the day before. What would happen now? Yesterday before the whole kiss happened he had said he'd come by the next day. Would he still come? Trying to get my mind off of things, I went to get some breakfast. It didn't help. My mind kept going back to the kiss. Even John noticed I was distracted.

"What are thinking about?", he asked while he tried to stuff a sandwich into his mouth at the same time.

"Nothing, why?", I tried to answer nonchalantly.

"You were looking all spaced out", John said grinning to himself, "You were obviously thinking about something"

"It's nothing really", I said, "I'm just a little tired", John shrugged and went back to his sandwich. Someone else would've probably gone on about it till I'd tell it, but John wasn't like that. If you didn't want to talk about something, he would just let it go. That was one of the things, I really respected in him. I went back to my breakfast when suddenly John jumped up.

"I have to be at Mrs. Treshill in ten minutes!", he said, John was never the organised type obviously.

"If you take the car, you can make it easily", I said

"No, I can't, my car is at the garage. I already dropped of my stuff at Mrs. Treshill's house yesterday so I'd only have to walk there, but I'll never make it now", he said

"I'll drive you there", I said finishing up my breakfast, I put my dish in the sink and John gave me a grateful smile.

"Thanks man", he said

"No problem", I said, I hadn't spent much time with John lately, and I really wanted to get my mind of things. I drove him to Mrs. Treshill's house and dropped him off.

"You want me to pick you up?", I asked.

"Nah, I'll be fine, I have somewhere to be after that aswell", he said, looking at Mrs. Solis' house. I laughed and shook my head.

"I take Mr. Solis is still on his buisnesstrip?", I asked smirking

"Yeah, he was supposed to come back yesterday, but he had to stay in Ohio for one more week", he answered smirking, "So, don't expect me home tonight". I laughed and turned the car.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then", I said before driving away. Before I went back home I went to the supermarket to get some food. When I got home, I came to the conclusion that trying to open your door with a box full of groceries in you hand, well, it's quite impossible. Of course, handy as I am, the whole box fell and all groceries were now shattered all over the floor.

"Need some help with that?", I heard someone ask and I looked up. It was a smirking Andrew. What was I going to say?

"Yeah thanks", I said and Andrew started putting the groceries back in the box. He took the keys from my hand and opened the door. I walked through the door to the kitchen, still trying to come up with what I should say. Together we put the groceries away, while Andrew was talking about some fight he had with his mother. I was glad I just had to listen, but I was a little confused too. He seemed to be just like he was before we kissed. He acted exactly the same. After we were finished Andrew got himself a soda –he always made himself at home- and sat down on the couch. I leaned against the kitchen wall and watched him while he took a sip of his drink. All night I had hoped the kiss wouldn't effect our friendship. But now that it didn't, now that our whole friendship seemed exactly the same, the only thing I wanted was for him to at least say something about it.

"So what do you say?", Andrew suddenly asked causing me to look up suprised, I hadn't been paying attention to what he was saying the last ten minutes as I was only thinking about why didn't say anything about the kiss.

"Oh sorry, what?", I asked

"If you want to go to the Mall", he asked. I was about to say something when John suddenly came in.

"John, what are you doing here?", I asked suprised.

"Gaby had unexpected company", he said, "I had to go, I was actually kind of glad. Mrs. Treshill totally worked me out. I think I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted. Good to see you Andrew", he said before walking straight to his room. I watched him before turning back to Andrew.

"What's wrong anyway? You're acting kind of weird", he said. I suddenly felt a little angry. I was acting weird? I? He was the one kissing me and then pretending it never happened! I took a deep breathe to calm down.

"Well, I mean..we kissed", I said looking at him.

"Yeah, we did", he said, giving me no answers at all. Why was Andrew so hard to read somtimes?

"If you regret it you can just say so", I said looking at him. Andrew stood up from the couch and for one minute I thought he was going to walk away, but he didn't. He walked over to me.

"I don't", he said, "Do you?"

"No, I don't", I said when I saw Andrew smirk. He moved closer.

"Good", he teased as he leaned in slowly.

"Andrew..what about John?", I asked trying to keep myself from not immediatly attacking his lips with mine.

"What about him?", Andrew smirked stopping just inches away.

"He's home", I said looking at a smirking Andrew.

"So?", he said before he kissed me. And suddenly I didn't care anymore. This kiss was very different from our first one though. It was more rough, I guess. I felt Andrew putting his arm around my waist and he pulled he towards my room. He closed the door behind him and pulled away.

"There, now you won't have to worry about getting caught", he smirked before he kissed me again. I smiled against his lips and hungerly slipped my tongue in, when Andrew teasingly pulled away again.

"I have to go", he smirked, but I wouldn't let him go this time.

"I don't think so", I smirked pushing him back against the door, seeing as I was bigger than Andrew, he could hardly move away from under me.

"Well guess not than", he smirked before our lips met again.

After a while suddenly someone tried to open the door, the door that me and Andrew were blocking.

"Hey, are you guys in there?", I heard John say through the door. I tried to move away, to let John in but Andrew wouldn't let me.

"What are you doing?", I asked and Andrew smirked. He leaned in and kissed me again while he pulled us away from the door. I knew I had to pull away, or John would see us, but Andrew still had his arm around me. The door opened and Andrew moved away just in time.

"Hey", John said a little suprised, "What happened to the door?"

"Yeah sorry, I was leaning against it", I said while I looked at an smirking Andrew.

"Oh right", John said still looking a little confused, "Well the thing is, I kind of invited some people over tonight", the minute he said it I knew it were probably going to be more than 'some people'.

"You're throwing a party aren't you?", I said

"Yeah", John said smirking.
