You, Me, We, Us

Chapter 35

Hudson

I was already seeing red when everything happened. Then she was there and her calmness wrapped around me like a warm blanket. She called Oli and we went over there after my shower I heard what Oli was saying he's a good guy but he's older than us and I don't want her getting hurt again when it was time for bed I didn't want her far away from me. So we shared a room. I wake up in the morning and Zoe is wrapped in my arms I'm so thankful I have her, the stuff I went through with Molly I mean I don't love her but the feeling of betrayal is real. I hate that she just didn't tell me she didn't want a relationship anymore is it that hard to do. I hear a light tap on the door and Oli comes in he says he's got breakfast for us I tell him to give me a few to wake Zoe. He says ok shuts the door and leaves. I wake Zoe with kisses all over her face and she giggles and wakes up. I tell her I'm heading down and when she's ready to meet us down there. I walk in the kitchen and Oli is there he says can I ask you something? Sure. Do you guys always sleep like that? Yeah why. Well I just thought it's a bit intimate you know. Well yeah but we've been this way since kindergarten. We haven't ever been inappropriate with each other. Oli says have you ever thought about dating her. I say no I haven't. Well I am aware of what you've said in the past about her not being your type but you should keep an open mind. She's gorgeous how you can't see it I'll never understand. I go to say something when I hear Zoe coming down the stairs she's singing and Oli looks at me and says and she can sing damn I wish she'd give me a chance. I don't think she's ready for anyone else yet she's still healing from your brother. Oliver looks at me and says yeah I know. Stupid! I laugh and say well you can't be too mad he found his person. She's not mad just upset how it went down. I know Oli says. She walks in and she has no make up on she's glowing I grab her and hug her. You look happy. I am she says. Why? Because you finally saw Molly for what she was. I'm glad you aren't with her anymore. Oliver laughs well I know how much you didn't like her after she kept making snide comments to you after she got back with Hudson. I look at her she's blushing sweetcheeks why didn't you tell me she turns from me. Nope I say I grab her hips and turn her around to face me. Why? Because I didn't want to be the reason you ended up wondering what if with her or resenting me later. I life her chin baby I could never resent you, you are my bestfriend my person and I love you and would never resent giving up any person for you. Thanks she says and hugs me. Oliver is looking at us and raises a brow I don't acknowledge it. When we are done we say our good byes and head to the lake before we leave. We get there and I say how about a pact Zoe says what this time? How about we focus on school and eachother and no one else you don't hook up or date others and neither will I. Ok Zoe says sounds good. We just enjoyed the moment when Molly shows up and tries to talk to me I say anything you say to me you can say infront of her Molly snears. Well I wanted to see if you would give me another chance. I grab Zoe and kiss her so hard I'm surprised I didn't bruise our lips she's kissing me back and for a minute I forget why I started to kiss her. I pull away and I'm breathless she's breathless and I say to Molly coldly does that answer your question. She starts in on Zoe and I say at least she and I didn't kiss while we were together have a nice life Molly I grab Zoe's hand and lead her to the car she says so you kissed me make a point to Molly. Oh sh-t I should have told her before. Yes and no. She looks at me questioningly. Truthfully I have wanted to kiss you since the last time a year ago and this just gave an excuse to do it. Zoe: he's blushing I wrap my arms around him and say is that so? Yes he breaths breathlessly. So I tease him a little I thought you only thought I was ok at kissing no he said he pecks me and opens the door get in baby girl we gotta go. We don't talk anymore about the kiss even when we stop at the hotel and sleep, nothing is said. So the next day I say Zoe. Yes she says. I want to kiss you more. I want the rest of my firsts to be with you. She looks at me in the most adorable way and says I want all my firsts with you since we aren't dating anyone else can we keep the options open when we're ready? I look at her and say yes I want that too. I know what we are talking about here and we will be sure to talk it all out before we do anything. She reaches over and grabs my hand. She looks over at me and says just promise me no matter what we will always be close friends. I kiss her hand and say of course baby girl.
