You and Zash are enemies with benefits.

You’re both sat on the school stairwell, after school. He’s sat a step lower than you, watching you read your book.

You couldn’t hang out alone as your parents were extremely strict.

And Zash respected your decision to only hang out after school.

Even if you were sitting by yourself in the school library, he loved being around you.

You end your chapter, closing your book and meeting Zash’s eyes.

He smiled once you locked eyes.

"Zash” you start.

“Yeah?” He replies.

“What would happen if another girl comes between us?” U asked

His eyes never leave yours as he answers,

“I will kiss her forehead and tell her how lucky she is to have a mom like you.”

A smile touched your lips, you realized you were falling for him, And he was falling for you.
