Isobel PoV

Sarah gets ready at mine, bringing all her things over to stay the night too.

"You sure I look ok?" She asks in the mirror looking at me as I stand behind her admiring my handy work on curling her hair loosely.

"You look great, much better than just ok." I tell her and she smiles gratefully at me.

"I'm so nervous!" She rushes suddenly then does a nervous giggle.

I hug her, "Awww," and she calms down.

"Nothing to be nervous about, ok? It's just Will." I roll my eyes, I can't stop my smile.

"Easy for you to say," she mutters, "have you watched your video yet?"

"No?" And why would I? Wouldn't that be weird?

"I think you should," she smiles a knowing smile, I frown back.

"You watched yours?" I ask her raising an eyebrow.

"Yup. Humour me Iz, watch both videos, then tell me why I shouldn't be nervous compared to you." She smirks.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't spell it out for you more than that Izzy, just.. when you get a minute, do it."

She smiles at me and stand from my dresser, smoothing her hands nervously through her hair.

"Ok! Wish me luck!" She grits her teeth in an excited look and I giggle with her.

****

As soon as Will and Sarah leave, my mum leaves to meet friends for dinner.

"I figured you'd have Friday night plans Izzy, I feel bad going out leaving you by yourself." My mum looks all sympathetic.

"Mum don't be silly, you never go out like this! Go have fun." I encourage, yet she still doesn't look too sure.

"Please? Look I'm not gonna be by myself, Ry is coming over, we're gonna hang out while.. my brother and my best friend go on a date." I laugh and she smiles at me with a strange look.

"Do you and Ryder hang out much?" She asks softly.

I shrug "He's here most the time."

More than I care to admit to my mother. Or anyone for that matter.

"Good... he's a good lad... don't let him pass you by Izzy," she smiles a strange knowing smile that makes me feel I'm missing something.

"Yeh... ok..."

"Right! Don't wait up then sweetie," she hugs me tightly and kisses my head.

"Left money out for pizza, there's enough to treat Ryder too!" Mum tells me as she leaves.

She looks back and gives me a wink before closing the door behind her.

***

Not five minutes later the door bell goes.
Strange.. wonder who?

I answer it only to see Ryder and his dimply grin and excitement in his perfect green eyes.

"Uh. Hey?" I ask confused, why's he ringing the door bell?

"Buona sera Bella," he says deeply and I smile at him, moving back so he can come in.

"The door locked or something?" I ask and he chuckles behind me, following me into the lounge, his hands casually stuffed in his jogger pants.

"I didn't wanna just walk in with you home alone and scare you, moi amore." He shrugs.

Ryder regularly says things in Italian I don't understand, I'm used to it. However sensual his voice sounds..

Fine I'm not used to it, it's kind of making me feel things... it's different?

We sit down on the same sofa and he wastes no time pulling me close to hug into him.

It's nothing compared to how we hug at night so why not. I guess it's different because he wouldn't do this in front of Will.

I snuggle into him and he strokes my side, over my t shirt.

"I ordered us pizza by the way," I tell him as he scrolls about the channels.

"And that's why I love you Bella " he says casually and I decide to just ignore his words, he talks like this regularly when we're home like this. Even in front of Will sometimes, earning him strange looks.

I know he just means it like a sister.. right?

***

We eat the pizza, we both like bbq chicken with pineapple, so we share a big one.

We're cuddled up watching tv. His fingers tracing a pattern on my thigh, my head resting on his chest.

I realise my hands gripping his soft pink hoodie, like earlier, when we kissed.

It was a damn good kiss.

Do all kisses feel that good? Or is it just because it's with him?

More I think about it.. the more... wow I'm going crazy... more I want it to happen again.

I sigh and cuddle into him more.

"You ok Bella?" He asks softly moving his other arm that isn't on my thigh to rest over my hand. The hand that's still screwing up his hoodie.

"Sorry." I mutter a little shyly, letting my fingers relax and smooth his hoodie out.

"Anyone would think you don't like this hoodie?" He jokes. I like hearing the amusement in his voice.

"I do. My favourite of yours." I tell him casually.

"I know. That's why I wear it," he tells me quietly.

Umm okay... Why would he care what I think?

We sit in silence for a while.

"Have you watched the videos?" He asks quietly, one hand playing with my hair softly.

"Hm?" I think I know what he's talking about.

"Today, the videos" he asks quietly and I shake my head, bitting my bottom lip nervously.

I've not been able to think of much else but him and today's kiss.

I'm silently panicking about it changing our relationship.

He stops stroking my hair and pulls out his phone.

He moves the phone so we can both watch the videos.

First is Will and Sarah.

Though I don't like watching it due to it being my brother sucking face with my bestie, I see what she means.

It's not a natural kiss, it's quite awkward. It's short. Huh.

He doesn't seem comfortable with it, she's bright red, bless her.

Ry clicks about not saying a word, and puts on our video next.

Oh god, I hate watching myself back on videos. Though my legs actually look nice...

The video gets close...

"I've wanted to do this for the longest time." I hear him say through the video. I feel myself hold my breath watching this unfold.

On the little iPhone screen... We're staring into each other's eyes.

I can feel the nervousness still.

Why did he say that to me? Is it just for the video?

We start kissing.... and... I moan, embarrassed, hiding my face into his chest.

He chuckles a dry laugh and I look up to him. His face relaxes from a smile to a serious look, his beautiful green eyes meeting mine. Looking for something, I don't know what.

"I wasn't kiddin Bella. I've wanted to kiss you for the longest time."

I can't process... let alone speak...

I feel I'm biting my lip, and look back to the video.

We're slowing, he kisses my lips again then my nose. His forehead leans on mine.

I remember that feeling like it's just happened

I can't deny it felt amazing.

I cuddle into him closer. I worry I'm going to lose him.

What if I actually like Ry, like... fancy him?

Oh god...

"It's always been Isobel Spice" I hear the video say and I feel those butterflies just like I did when he said it right there in the canteen.

I close my eyes and I feel him tense under me.
