Seeing how different Xavier was with Abby made me think about how stupid I have been. I should have told Hannah years ago how I felt, yet I tucked my tail and kept her at arm’s length. The sound of the door knob turning snapped me out of my dazed state. The door slammed so hard against the wall that I automatically jumped and headed towards it. My eyes roamed over Hannah standing in the door way with her eyes shut and her head tilted up towards the sky…she was breathtaking as she took in the cool night air. My pulse began to quicken at the sight of her. Why has it taken me all these years to admit how madly in love with this girl I am…? Fuck this shit…I’m telling her tonight. I smiled at myself as I noticed Hannah starting to step forward. “Shit!” I said under my breath when I realized that she hadn’t opened her eyes and was now going to miss the two steps in front of her. Hannah snapped her eyes open as she started to fall as I lunged towards her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her to me, as she threw her arms lazily around my neck.
“Jason? ” she mumbled breathlessly with wide eyes.
“Yeah Han , I got you…are you okay?!” I smirked back as her eyes fell to my mouth. That’s when I noticed how drunk she was. Hannah had always watched me but never made it so obvious without even blushing. Not to mention the way she could hardly hold herself upright.
Concern washed over me, either she wasn’t this drunk the last time I was around her or I hadn’t even noticed. Either way, I hope she hadn’t been stuck in any type of situation that I should have been there for. My smile began to fade as I asked her again if she was okay, which I guess annoyed her because she moved out of my hold and crossed her arms over her chest.
“Yeah , I’m okay…a little intoxicated…but okay. Did you find anyone? I still haven’t seen Abby…or Xavier for that matter.” Damn, she is drunk… The whole time she was talking I couldn’t help but remember the way her lips felt against mine earlier. I couldn’t take advantage of her drunken state without knowing if it was actually what she wanted from me. Giving up on my internal struggle, I leaned back against the wall. Nodding over towards the parking lot letting her know where the two love birds where residing. Watching her from the corner of my eye, I watched the disappointment in her eyes as she watched them. Right then I wanted to scoop her up and run all the way back to her apartment. That look broke my damn heart and I had no idea why she was feeling that way. A large sigh escaped her as she leaned against the wall beside me with her foot propped up against it, as her arms hung loosely at her sides. This girl owned me and I wasn’t ashamed to admit that. Fuck just friendship…I want her everything.
Chapter 7
Jason
A small gust of wind blew down the alleyway, stirring Hannah’s hair on its way past us. I couldn’t help but stare, she was leaning against the building with her eyes shut. The silence between us had hung around long enough…I was about to drop a bomb. “Hannah…” I started to speak but stopped myself to think for a moment before starting again. “I…I don’t want you to think…that I only kissed you because I was drinking.” She hadn’t mentioned anything about our encounter earlier and we hadn’t been very nice to one another since. This gave me a feeling that she might not have wanted what transpired between us to have happened. I continued before she had a chance to respond, “You don’t have to say anything, Han…if you want to act like it didn’t happen then I will just have to deal with that…” At that point I was going all in. Balls to the wall… I placed my hands against the wall surrounding her head and inched in closer as I began to talk. “…I won’t apologize for finally kissing you because it has been the one thing I have been dying to do since I first met you. I know you look at me as
