What's next?
Talk to Kerrie
Feeling like sitting down, you grab a bottle from the steadily depleting pile of unopened beer bottles, taking a swig from it as you make your way over the sofa next to Kerrie and dramatically collapse on it, positioning your head on Kerrie's lap.
Kerrie let out a tiny cry of shock as you get in the way of her game before she gives you a mock glare to which you simply reply by giving her a big wide grin.
Grumbling under her breath, she pulls out her headphones and forcibly grabs her game from beneath your head, allowing your head to fall onto her much softer lap. Your grin only grows wider as she rolls her eyes.
"Goddamn it dude, I had a good kill/**** ratio going on there. I even had a squeaker close to crying."
"You always say you have a squeaker close to crying," you tease her lightly. "Take a break from the wonderful world of gaming, come back to us, Kerrie! Your people need you!"
Kerrie rolls her eyes again, although this time accompanied with a small grin. "Alright, alright, I'll stop being an antisocial ass."
"But your ass is the best part of you!"
Her only response is a light cuff to your head. "Loser."
"And you love it."
Kerrie only huffed as she opened her handbag and shoved her headphones and game inside. She gave you a meaningful glance at your hardly touched bottle in your hand. "Really dude? I know you're 18 and all that, but you literally fainted earlier. You still should get to the hospital ya know, if your dad finds out, you're gonna be in deep shit."
You shrug, "I'm fine dude."
She shrugged too, "Alright then, Mr. Macho man."
The two of you remain in an comfortable silence for a while, you lying on Kerrie's lap while she lay back against the sofa. You suddenly feel movement on your head. Cocking an eyebrow, you glance upwards without moving your head, realising to your astonishment that Kerrie was running her fingers through your hair almost absent mindedly.
You feel a sudden shiver as goosebumps start to prickle up your arms and legs as you look at her properly. Her body was athletic and slim, despite her renowned disregard for anything that involved exercise and love for all the food she could get her hands on. Whenever she played games, or was concentrated on something, she often bit the bottom of her lip hard enough to turn it pale. Her fingers were delicate, and she often chewed on her hair. All little things you had seen her do, and known about, but never really thought to put them together.
Your heart started to pound slightly, so hard that you were surprised that you didn't make the room shake.
Perhaps some of your sudden nervousness made her notice as she turned her head from whatever she was looking at to stare at you with a inquisitive look. "What's up? You're looking at me weirdly. You feeling alright?"
"I...um..."
Do you take the plunge and try going for it? Or maybe you should let it go, you did faint not so long ago...
