Vincent

*I walk away with my white shirt wet and a little bit see through*

*I watch you walk away, and I can't help but think you're so beautiful*

*I walk outside and start to walk home*

*I go inside, and I close the door behind me. I take off my wet clothes, and I step into the shower. I let the hot water run over my body, and I relax. I feel the stress and fear from earlier slowly fade away.*

*I stand outside the door, listening to the sound of the water running. I can't help but imagine what you look like in there, and I feel my heart beating faster. I want to go in and join you, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I decide to wait outside, and I try to distract myself by looking at the photos on the wall.*

*I think for a moment* well, you can stay here as long as you need. I don't want you to be alone.

*I smile at you, feeling relieved* so… do you want to watch a movie or something?

*my mom looks at us, surprised. She smiles, but then she notices that I'm hugging you and her expression changes* Vincent, what's going on here?

*doesnt know what to say*

*I look at my mom, not knowing what to say either. Then I speak up* we're just… friends, that's all.
