"Thank you," I say to Damien as he drives to our home. Since Alex was in the front seat on the way here, I was allowed to steal it for the way back. "I know you and Aaron really don't get along because of your... differences, but I really appreciate you trying." I see a faint smirk play on his lips and he rolls his eyes to the back of his head.
"Yeah," he replies after a while and I'm convinced it's forced. "Just remember what I said the other night in the kitchen." I think back to the time when Damien had to take down the giant creature in the living room. There were no words expressed during that so it mustn't be that event which he is talking about.
The near kiss. The time when we both almost gave in and let whatever feelings we have been holding back consume us. In between paintball
