Pov: Brian

My head was a mess. I didn't want to reject Audrey, but on the other hand, I felt like I wasn't ready to be with her. Contradicting, right? Well, it took me some time to realise that maybe after so much time crushing on Audrey I may have forgotten to give a thought to my true feelings. That kiss didn't feel right. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't like it, (I may have enjoyed it) as I had been looking forward to that kiss for a very long time but I didn't expect it at all, especially after that downright rejection just before the film. She has left me dumbfounded.

Even though Audrey wanted to finish the film and stay with me, after we noticed that David had left, I was clear to tell her that we had to find him. Fortunately, this was enough to convince her, as although she sometimes got deep in passions she had a good heart and loved her friends. So, I offered her a drive home as I wasn't going to leave her out there in the middle of nowhere at 11 pm. However, I later ended up regretting this as all the ride she kept making attempts to kiss me or display her affection. No matter how many times I told her off, she kept on insisting that I went to her house to watch a film, but at the moment I was quite worried about Brian, so I tried to tell her. We arrived at her place.

"Here we are. See you next week in school"

"Are you picking me up ?"

"I'm not sure, I always walk"

"But could you pick me up? Pleaseeee. If not I would have to walk alone and then some psycho could kidnap me for ransom? She put on a puppy face.

She was starting to annoy me with that pick me girly voice.

"I'll text you when I know for sure" I said irritated.

"Be here at a quarter to eight!!" She smiled at me and gave me a quick gentle kiss before getting out of the car.

Finally, now I have some private space! It's not that I don't like it's just that sometimes she can be a little bit intense.

I drove to David's building. When I rang the bell he immediately opened, as if he had been waiting for me to arrive. I genuinely smiled. As I was on the elevator I thought about David, I really wanted to see him and apologize. It was obvious he got upset for me kissing his crush, Audrey. Or was it?

When I finally got to his floor, the 3rd, the elevator door opened. There stood David a bit uncomfortable. But as soon as I waved at him he greeted me with a sincere smile on his face. I ran to him and we melted into a big hug.

We stayed like that for a couple of seconds, but it felt like hours. I could feel his heart beating and our breaths coordinating; it felt so right. Once we pulled apart, I looked up to his eyes. Once I reached them I couldn't help thinking about how deep and soft they were, they felt like summer air. OMG! He returned the smile to me, that look said everything between us, we didn't need more to know what we were thinking about.

However, it was getting kind of awkward so he invited me inside. We went to his room to watch a movie. We talked and laughed like in old times. Everything felt right.

"Do you want to order pizza? Pepperoni?"

"Yeah, sure. Why not."

"Maybe we could even have a sleepover and play that videogame I always beat

you at when we were younger"

"Are you talking about Mario Party?

I nodded.

"Oh, no. If we play that game you won't be able to beat me and it will such a bore. "

"I'm on for it if you're not afraid to lose." He teased me. He was trying to annoy me and make me lose my temper but I wasn't going to fall for his tricks.

"If you're so sure, why don't we bet?" It was getting serious now. "The one that loses will have to do WHATEVER the other wants. And whatever means whatever. There are no limits. "

"So you want to receive orders from me, right?"

"I don't know. Do you?" he said

This was starting to get interesting.

I reached out for the game, but my arms were too short so I had no other choice than to jump over David. After I got it, I plugged it in the switch. I handed one remote to David and shortly after, sat next to him.

"Are you ready?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"I've never been more ready to beat you in my whole life"

"You wish!!"

1, 2, 3, go. The race started but I couldn't get my car to start. Come on! David was already ahead of me. Fuck! How can he almost be halfway the race? Now he'll probably win! It was obvious he was trying really hard to win so I couldn't help wondering what was it he wanted me to do so bad. Now I was curious.

"Shit!!" He cursed.

I looked up at the screen and saw that he had gotten out of the track after crashing into a stack of tyres. Great! It was my opportunity to win. He was going to need a new car but it takes 30 seconds for it to recharge so I had to make the most of this.

I stepped on the accelerator and prepared to dash through the final stretch, I was so near the finish line I could almost taste victory. 

"NOOOO!" I yelled. "It's not fair!"

A banana skin had just appeared in the middle of the road which had made me slip and crash into a pile of hay. David took advantage of the moment and overtook me, winning the race.

"Bye, bye suckers. I already told you I was going to beat you but you didn't listen" He started doing some sort of victory dance, a bit strange, he kind of looked like he was invoking Satan.

"I almost won. If that skin hadn't appeared I would have won"

"Yeah, yeah, that's what you say..."

"I guess we'll never know" I sighed.

I stood up and started walking out of the room trying to avoid a conversation with him.

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked with a teasing tone.

"I'm just going for the pizza. I think I just heard the doorbell."

"Are you trying to avoid me so I forget about the bet?"

"No. I repeat, I just thought I heard the bell ring" It was so obvious that I was trying to avoid him but I was kind of lame at coming up with excuses.

"Come on, we ordered the pizza ten minutes ago. It will take at least five more for the pizza to arrive. Are you scared of what I'm gonna make you do?" He asked rhetorically. "I'm not gonna make you do anything bad, not too bad at least... It's impossible to tell you anything if you keep on with that puppy face.

"Come on Brian"

I was totally shocked

"What?! I don't have a puppy face."

"Yes you do and I have to admit it's really cute. But, oh no, now your face is turning into an angry one..."

I ran to him. We started fighting and laughing again, like in old times bed and he fell off dragging me down with him. We both stopped fighting. I was on top of him in a really strange position. God knows wthat someone would have thought if they ran into us. We were looking at each other's eyes, not daring to say anything. When I realized my face immediately turned reddish, I tried to get up clumsily, but failed. I looked over at him again. He was the most handsome person I'd ever met. My heart was beating really fast. I wanted to kiss him so badly. I've never been so sure about anything in my life. Suddenly, everything made sense. I loved David and I wanted him to be mine.

"The bet. We agreed that whoever lost had to do whatever the other orders, right?" he let out slowly.

"Yeah" I said without breath

"I want you to look at my eyes and do with me whatever you please"

This was the sign I'd been waiting for.

I slowly started getting near him until our faces were only a few inches apart

"This is what I please now, and always" I whispered.

My lips reached him and we started kissing. It was amazing. I had never felt like that before in my life. One of his hands went to my back while the other one reached out for the back of my head and started fidgeting with my hair.

I wish we could stay like this forever, just him and me. David and Brian, always together.
