[17] Friend

                                    

                                          
Last night I made a fool of myself in front of Enzo, he kissed me and I froze. I've kissed him before, hell we've slept together, it shouldn't have been a big deal but for some reason it was.
                          
It's currently 11 AM and I'm still laying in bed. I know everyone else is awake because I can hear them in the kitchen and living room talking loudly. 
                          
Knock knock 
                          
"Come in" I call to whoever is on the outside of the door 
                          
The door swings open and Enzo makes his way in, closing it behind him. "So you are awake then" 
                          
"I've been awake for a little while" I admit as I set up, the sheets falling from the top half of my body
                          
"You don't mind if I come in?" 
                          
"You're already in aren't you?" I raise a brow with a soft smile 
                          
"Always such a smart mouth" he grins as makes his way over and sits on the edge of the bed "I just wanted to say I'm sorry about last night"
                          
"Enz, you don't need to be sorry-"
                          
"Mia I get it, everything that's happened between us until this point you were either drunk or on god knows what, and I know we've had this flirty thing going on ever since, but I took it to far last night and I'm sorry for that." He takes a breath "I really don't want things to be weird between us, so, friends?" 
                          
Friends.... 
                          
"Yeah sure, friends" I give him a soft smile 
                          
Knock knock 
                          
"Come in" I call once more 
                          
"Hey, oh sorry" Sara says as she looks between Enzo and I "I was just uh seeing if you wanted something to eat." 
                          
"I was doing the same" Enzo stands up and leaves the room.

After finally venturing out of the room I ate some breakfast or lunch as it was by this time and then cleaned the dishes and kitchen. Sara instead I didn't have to, but I wanted to, it's my way of saying thank-you for letting me stay if nothing else. 
                          
"All done" I smile as I make my way into the living room and sit down next to Sara
                          
"Thanks, you didn't have to" she smiles as she moves over closer to me "So uh, what's going on with you and Enzo?" she asks quietly 
                          
"We're friends" 
                          
"Just friends?" She raises a brow with a grin 
                          
"Trust me Sar, we're just friends, he friend-zoned me this morning, that's what you walked in on" 
                          
"Oh" she bites down on my bottom lip "I honestly thought something happened between the two of you, just the way you interact"
                          
"I'm his best friends little sister, we've known each other for a long time and we're close, but that's it"
                          
Sara hums thoughtfully for a moment before nodding her head, still lost in thought 
                          
"Is this what you ladies plan on doing all day just laying around?" Andre questions as he and Enzo make their way into the room 
                          
"Something like that" Sara shrugs "why? Did you have something in mind?"
                          
"I was thinking my wife might like to have dinner with me" 
                          
Buzzz, Buzzz
                          
I pull my phone from my pocket reading the text message and smile "uh, I'm going to head off" I stand up sliding my phone back into my pocket once more.
