“The only one for me?“ Phil asked with a small grin on his face. Sure, that sudden confession caught him off guard, but he didn’t mind at all. That was a side of her he never saw before, a side that made him smile. The guy had never been very clear about his feelings towards her. He always let his actions speak for him, but sometimes words could be necessary. The Chicago native moved a few steps towards his girl and wrapped her waist with an arm, pulling her closer to him. Their hips were firmly pressed against each other, while his face was just a few inches away from hers. “My goodness, you look so beautiful.“ He talked in whispers, observing Cedes’ features. “You say you wanna be the only one… but don’t you think you already are the only one?“ He asked, raising both brows as if he perfectly knew the answer to that question. “You ARE the only one for me, baby girl.”
the problems started to arise as people began to find out where she was spending so much of her time and why she chose to spend so much time in chicago when you never heard her talk about the city. she was never sure how she should explain things to her best friend. was she visiting a boyfriend? or was she just visiting a friend who she would kiss and have sex with? she wanted answers. she NEEDED answers... but mercedes didn’t want to push and force the answers out of him. brown eyes looked down at the floor because she was scared to know what his reaction would be - until she felt his body pressed firmly against her. that’s when she tilted her head. “i don’t know.” she admitted. “actions say one thing but i don’t know what goes on in that head of yours. who the hell knows what you think when you see me. how am i supposed to know if you like me... or like me but only as a friend?” cedes continued as she hesitantly brought her arms up and around his waist, slowly to make sure that it was okay of her to do that.
