After our conversation in the park we moved onto lighter topics. In no time at all we were back to our giggly selves. We got chips for tea then made our way back to my house. We always went back to mine rather than Sians, we both just seemed to go there automaticially.

As we walked through the door I heard my Mum call from the kitchen.

"Come through girls, I'm just about to put the tea on. Do you want some?" She knew without even looking up that Sian was with me. These past few weeks we'd been basically joined at the hip.

"We've had chips," I called back to her while we made our way into the kitchen.

"Chips! You girls aren't going to keep those figures if you keep eating junk."

"Chill Mum," I said to her in a patronising tone. She looked over at be disapprovingly but then looked over at Sian and smiled. My Mum and Dad for some reason absolutely adored Sian. Not that I was complaining, it basically meant she could be here whenever she wanted and my parents wouldn't bat and eyelid.

"Hi Mrs Webster," She said sweetly.

"Hi Sian, how's your Mum getting on in Southport? It must be nice for her living by the sea." Without waiting for an answer she launched into a story about how one day she'd like to move away from the street. I smiled to myself slyly; Sian always seemed to get me out of trouble when she was around.

When Mum had finally finished her rambling she got back to cooking her, Rosie's and Dad's tea leaving me and Sian free to escape to my bedroom. We sat talking for a while then put on a DVD. I innocently cuddled up to her unable to concentrate on the film when she was so close to me. After a while her fingers started roaming through my hair. Every time she made contact with me I felt the familiar swooping sensation in my stomach. I really did adore her.

Once the movie had finished we stayed in our cuddled up position.

"Are you over your strop from earlier?" she asked me half joking, half serious.

"I guess," I said embarrassed about my earlier outburst.

"Look Soph, I'll always be here for you so don't worry about ever being alone. I promise." I looked up at her grinning trying to get rid of the impulses I so dearly wished I could act upon. I moved away from her and slid under the covers.

"I better get going. My dad will be wondering where I am."

"Don't be stupid just text him and tell him you're staying over here. You're not walking home in the dark." I could tell she was happy by my suggestion because she didn't argue. She just picked up her phone happily quickly sending a message to her Dad then she also slipped under the covers. I dramatically bunched up the duvet and rolled over with it leaving her with nothing to cover her.

"Oi Webster. Give me those back!" I refused by shaking my head keeping a firm hold of them.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." She started ticking me. She knew I was one of the most ticklish people in the whole world making me immediately let go of the covers. Even though she'd won she didn't let me go. She kept me pinned down tickling me till I could barely breathe from laughing.

"What's going on in here!" Rosie's voice came out of nowhere making Sian stop and get off of me. I looked up at her feeling slightly embarrassed for some reason.

"I was just getting the covers off of her; she's a pain in the ass to share a bed with!"

"Yeah if that's your story." Rosie had a smug look in her eyes that confused me. She only had that look when she seemed to think she knew something that nobody else did.

"Well I'll leave you to your 'tickling'. Night girls I'm away off out now." She left the room before either of us could say another word to her.

"What was up with her?" Sian asked innocently; she seemed to have noticed Rosie's weird behaviour too.

"Dunno, I never know what's going on in that brain of hers." As I mused over what Rosie was talking about, Sian took advantage of my vulnerability and started tickling me again.

"Siaaaaaann," I squealed. She'd managed to clamber on top of me completely pinning me down.

"Say I'm amazing," she said as I squirmed underneath her.

"No," I answered back playfully.

"Say it or I won't stop!"

"Fine," I said while laughing, "you're amazing."

She laughed at my surrender taking both my hands in hers. She still had me pinned down on the bed but I could face her now knowing she wouldn't tickle me. I had another one of my urges, all I wanted to do was lift up my head and kiss her but I wasn't brave enough. Neither of us said anything as the tension between us began to mount. She was softly stroking my fingers with her thumb. I could feel every nerve in my body begin to tingle. And my heart was beginning to beat faster as I looked into her blue sparkling eyes which had turned excited and electric.

As our heads started to move closer together Sian seemed to come to her senses. She broke the silence between us while getting off of me.

"Can I borrow some pyjamas?" She asked not looking at me properly. I got up too digging out a pair for her.

"I'll just go get changed," she said still not looking at me.

Sian POV

As soon as I reached her bathroom and locked the door I let out a huge sigh. What had nearly happened? I had her pinned down and my heart felt like it was going to explode. I wanted to kiss her so badly and I could tell by the look in Sophie's eyes that she felt the same. But I couldn't let it happen. It would ruin everything between us. I'd seen how ruining relationships could be. My Mum and Dad just argued and fought and never had time to love each other. It ruined everything between them and now when they saw each other all they did was fight. I couldn't lose Sophie. She meant absolutely everything to me. I got changed and gave myself a few minutes to compose myself. I went back into her room smiling and trying to wipe away the tension that had sprang out of nowhere a few minutes earlier. She looked at me shyly. God she was beautiful.

"Come on we better go to sleep or else I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"You know it's kinda sad," she said to me, "We go to sleep just as Rosie goes out." I giggled.

"Yeah but Rosie's like a bat she only comes out at night!"

"Don't let her catch you saying that she'd murder you right on the spot." The awkwardness had finally managed to diffuse. We both just ignored what had gone on 5 minutes ago.

We got into bed but Sophie didn't cuddle up to me like she usually did. I couldn't bare being in the bed and not be close to her. She was like a magnet pulling me in. I needed to feel her next to me so I took the brave first move and snuggled up to her. I could feel her tense for a second but within no time at all she had relaxed and we both drifted off probably thinking the same thing.

Sophie POV

I awoke feeling Sian's body wrapped around mine. Somehow we'd managed to become completely entwined while we slept. I know realised what had awoke me. It was absolutely boiling. With the covers and Sian's body heat I felt almost on fire but I didn't want to let her go. I needed her close to me. There was no way I could get back to sleep feeling this uncomfortable so I concentrated on Sian's breathing. However when I really listened I realised her breathing was too quick to be asleep.

"Sian are you awake?" I whispered. There was silence for a minute then Sian answered.

"Yeah." After that neither of us said a word as our lips crashed together.
