I kissed my best friend and I l-liked it. Oh my gosh, I'm so horrible.
" Hazel, open the door please!" Roman calls from the other side of the door as he knocks.
I don't answer, still trying to come into grips with what just happened downstairs.
" Come on baby please, open the door!"
He called me ' baby'. Oh my, I'm really dreaming right now.
" Hazel -"
" I kissed you Roman!....Oh my gosh I took advantage of my best friend!" I gasp as my words sink in.
" What the fu - no Hazel you did not. I kissed you first and you know what, I want to do it again!" My eyes widen at his admittance.
He would?.
A few seconds pass before I turn around and unlock the door, opening it slowly and nervously. I hear him come in and I don't dare look at him, until I close the door.
I quickly glance at him
I have never laughed and smiled as much as I do, in a short space of time, like I've done being around Roman. It's only been hours and never a full day since he confessed his feelings to me. I've lost count of the many times in which he's stolen kisses. He can be quite sneaky when he wants to. Either way, I like it and I feel strongly about everything. Though hours in but like I had said, things feel natural and good.It was a good idea to skip school today because then I would have missed all this. And even if I went to school, I'd be bored out of my mind. So staying home was best. We had spent most of our day cuddling, eating, making out, binge watching on movies and just enjoying each others company.We had eventually fallen asleep on the couch, whilst watching a movie. Having woken up first after hours, I had found myself just watching him sleep. It truly was a pleasure, to see him so relaxed, so at peace and damn
" Lets go Sweet." Roman whispers in my ear.I glance at Danny for a second before nodding, Roman doesn't need anymore signs, he takes my hand and drags me to his car. Sam and Avery follow us. I don't even glance behind me like I used to, whenever I would walk away with Danny, walking away from Roman.There was always that feeling of leaving something important behind at that time, but now things are different andI'm only looking forward." We'll see each other on Monday." Avery says when we finally reach Roman's car, pulling me in for a hug. " And don't you dare skip." She playfully warns me.I nod, smiling at her.I walk over to Sam and hug him goodbye." Finally." He says in my ear, making me to pull back and to look at him.I give him a questioning look but he just smiles at me, stepping back.I don't say anything but wave at them, before getting i
A few minutes have passed and he hasn't said anything yet. His body has gone rock solid and I'm afraid, that he might not be breathing." R-Roman, please say something." I whisper out.I feel desperate for him to say something, anything." What happened?" I take a breath before confessing." It was my 11th birthday and my family decided to surprise me. They didn't want me depressing over you leaving anymore. They hosted the party at aunt Karen's house and the theme was a masked party. We were playing hide and seek when it happened." I trail off. " I thought the shed would be a good place for me to hide, but I was wrong. I stepped in there and I was only there for a short while, but it was enough for someone to grab me from behind. I had no idea that someone had been in there, I swear." I stop short when I hear him breathing hard." I struggled against
I lay my head on my mother's lap, her hand patting my hair. It feels so nice and I just want to stay in this moment. I want to remain in my mother's comfort.I've missed her and I've missed this feeling. Everything feels so calm with her close to me and I never want her, to seperate from me. I never want to leave this place. I can breathe easily and I don't have to face the hurt anymore. I'm tired of hurting.It pains to hurt." Can I stay here with you mom?" I ask." If you want to." I smile at that.But then Roman comes into mind and my smile slips off my face. I frown a bit." B-but what about Roman, I can't leave him." She doesn't say anything." Mom?" I take my head off her lap and sit up, facing her.
I have never been a fan of noise when I am sleeping. I just want some peace and quiet and I am not getting any of that right now. I hear my name repeatedly being called, but I have no desire to wake up. I'm tired and I need rest." Hazel, Hazel wake up!" Roman?That voice, it surely sounded like his." Hazel, come on wake up. You need to wake up." The voice sounds desperate and still like Roman's.I must be dreaming that's for sure, because as far as I know, Roman left." Come on Sweet. Don't do this to me, don't do this to us. " Only Roman calls me Sweet. Yes, definetly that is Roman. But why would he beg for me to not do something to him and us?What does he mean by that?... I haven't done nothing else but sleep. I feel my body suddenly being shaken up and Roman continuously begging for me to wake up. Hearing hi
My heart jumps at the sight of Roman, who is seating on the hood of his car, busy on his phone. As if he can feel me staring, he glances up my way and that's when a smile that takes over my face. I am done with my session and now I have just come outside, seeing him just stopped me in my tracks. He gets off his hood and I start towards him, wanting to be in his arms already. My smile wavers when I notice his footsteps quicken, his whole demeanor changing and his eyes growing wide." Hazel!!!" He shouts, now no longer walking but full on sprinting towards me.My footsteps faulter and my smile slips as I give him a confused look. Horror flashes on his face as his eyes glance behind me for a second. In the midst of following his line of view and glancing over my shoulder, I'm grabbed so fast, away from where I am standing, that I have no time to react. I hear the sound of screeching wheels with something swishing by.
"Do I look okay?" I ask, turning away from the mirror to face Roman.He has been standing leaned by the doorway, just watching me. He literally roams his eyes all over my frame before a grin lifts on his face." Well?" I say impatiently." Hazel, you look good in anything you put on." He says, pushing off the wall and coming towards me." Thank you but this is different, it is lunch with your family. " " Baby, I don't think they like you because of what you wear but because of who you are. You are practically family and what you wear is just a bonus." He says, pulling me close by my waist." I hear you, I really do. So, about this." I gesture to my outfit, which is more of a street style with cargo pants, white shirt and heels. I made sure to tie my hair back and keep it neat and clean." Is it okay?" 
He loves me. He didn't let me know through speaking outloud but, through words written down. His eyes, for so long have expressed it and I took too long to figure it out. He has not said the words though and for the rest of yesterday, I had been trying to get him to say them. But oh yes, Roman O'Connor is stubborn. I didn't want to make it obvious that I wanted him to say the words. I think at the end of the day, he figured everything out, after all that massaging, baking for him, cuddling and even Romy Time. Yes, Roman O'Connor is stubborn.I even caught him secretly smirking when I asked if there was anything, important that he wanted to say but nope, he simply shook his head and played all innocent. So now, I'm just waiting for the right moment for him to say it, because I would really like to hear him say those three words.But nonetheless, he loves me.He didn't even say he is fo
