Holly signed off AIM after talking to sean thanking him for the helpful advice the guy sure knew what to say to calm this girl down a bit. She went downstairs getting herself a glass of juice and sat at the counter watching knowing branden and anthony were showing up soon she had to calm herself down so drinking her first glass of juice she got herself another one sugar high was the best time seeing this girl she was super calm and not so happy on sugar that much.
She didnt look at all dressed up she was wearing her lazy day clothes a pair of baggy jeans and a tshirt that said 'tell your boyfriend to stop calling me' she seen that and just had to get it of course she could with her allowance she had. Sitting there she checked to make sure she had socks sighing gratefully that she did and also had on her slippers not the dorky ones either.

Anthony quickly got out of Branden's truck and looked around at the home for a moment. He didn't really understand why Holly had wanted to speak with him but he knew that he'd find out soon. Now he was a little nervous about what she was going to say simply because Branden was going over to Sean's so it would be just Holly and him at the home. And he was scared that he might let some things slip if he was alone with her. If she started to laugh at him if he accidentally ended up telling her that he liked her then that would be the end of it. He couldn't take that kind of rejection and he probably would never reveal his feelings to a girl again. If only Branden had been a little more clear of things, he'd made sure to tell him that he didn't care if Holly and him went out. But he hadn't been so clear about the best way to tell her that he liked her. He figured that it was because Branden had recently gotten back into the dating game seriously a short time ago.
Today he was wear a simple faded red t shirt and a pair of jeans. He had worn that since he knew he'd probably end up getting dirty, and he had. His jeans now had grass stains on them and as he walked up the steps to the home he heard Branden's truck start up again and he looked back to watch him leave before he cautiously reached up and knocked on the door. |

She was sitting at the counter she heard the doorbell ring, instinctively she looked out the kitchen window seeing branden leave she knew it had to be anthony okay here goes nothing she thought to herself, leaving the kitchen she went to the mirror by the front door calming herself down she fixed her hair over her shoulder, she fixed her shirt and walked over to the door.
Opening the door seeing anthony standing there she nearly froze but she looked up at him, Hi anthony, come on in she said and stepped a couple feet sideways to allow him to walk in the house, and closed the door behind him How are you? she asked as calm as her voice could be and just waited for him to answer.

Anthony watched as Holly opened the door and he quickly entered the room so that he didn't just stand there staring at her in the doorway. He wasn't going to lie, he did find her to be very attractive. But she probably didn't see him that way since they'd known each other pretty much since birth. He didn't know he was better friends with Branden, or Holly. Even though Holly and him did see each other a lot since he was always over here she had her own group of friends. While all he really had anymore was Branden and Sean. Everybody else had abandoned him once he'd started to get home schooled. But this year, he was going to start going to a public school again and he was really excited about that. The thing was though, would all of his old friends come back to him or would they just ignore him. He hoped they wouldn't do that since he'd been very used to having a lot of friends and after the death of his older brother and ending up being ripped away from a public school everybody had left him. He had grown a lot closer to Branden and Sean basically because they'd been the only two people who had cared enough about him to stay friends with him. Even so, they'd been Mike's friends not his.
"I'm pretty good, and I'm happy that my mom finally decided that I could go back to a public school." He said and then looked around the house as he tried to think of something else that he could say. "How have you been?" He asked and wondered how stupid it was to ask that to somebody who you talked to a lot. |

She stood there just glancing at him a few times not trying to seem obvious that she was apparently checking him out. Though he was always over there hanging out with branden and usually sean showed up but she tried to avoid any conversation and right now she had to say what was going through her mind for the longest time okay i gotta say why i asked him to come over and talk but gawd how she thought to herself as she answered his question I've been good, she said taking a couple steps toward the livingroom holding her juice in hand turning to face him come in the livingroom better the standing right she said kind of joking, kind of serious she was trying to keep her voice in check and not quiver in front of him that would be plain embarassing mostly.
Taking a few more steps she sat on the closest couch to the livingroom doorway and waited for him to sit beside her so he wouldnt have to stand there feeling dumb and maybe this way she would be able to say what she had to say which wasnt going to be easy but she had to or she would never know if he really like her as much as she like him hopefully he did.

Anthony cautiously entered the living room and looked around at all of the pictures in there. It was clear that somebody in the house loved to take pictures because there was tons of them in the room. There was at least one of all of the close friends that each of the family members had. He even found a few of himself there but there and he knew that Branden had a ton of pictures up in his room that were shoved into about five different photo albums. He even knew where the shoe box full of pictures of Marissa were that Branden never looked at anymore. Not that he blamed him since he never looked at pictures of Mike, or Marissa anymore. It just hurt too much to know that they were gone. He made his way over to the couch and sat down next to Holly as he tried to think of something to say, but he was at a loss for words. Which really annoyed him because he really wanted to talk right now but he couldn't think of anything to talk about. He would be really embarrassed if he said something stupid so maybe it was best if he just kept his mouth shut.
Then again, he didn't want to be shy around Holly so he would have to think of something to say. "So have you been home alone all day?" He asked and then wanted to hit himself for saying something like that. Since to him, that was a stupid question to ask. Oh well, he really couldn't take it back. |

Holly just watched as he sat as if something was gonna bite him it was wierd she could tell the guy wasnt sure of something yeah its been kind of a boring day not much going on she said in answer to his question gawd so hard to actually talk but other times its easy when others are around she thought to herself as she just looked up at him so what did you and branden do all day? she asked knowing something to do in the woods and brandon was over at seans right now thanks to sean he was so nice to her.
okay um i had one reason for getting you to come over alone she said first still keeping her cool and thinking of how exactly to tell anthony that she liked him more then friends and she didnt want him to know she knew he liked her to anthony i want you to know, that I like you more then a friend she just blurted it out before she decided against and now she couldnt take it back so she just looked down at her hands and waited to see what he said[/size]

"We didn't do much we just went out in the woods and kind of hung out that's all. Some people might find that odd but it's nice and quiet out there." He said and then looked around the room again, he didn't really know what else to say. Since he wasn't going to tell her about how his mother had called and he'd answered the phone and had basically been told off only Branden knew about that and it was going to stay that way. Since his mother did a lot of stuff like that, she'd done things worse then that and he was glad that she was going to be gone for two whole weeks. It meant that he didn't have to be worried about walking into his home and being yelled at for leaving one piece of paper on the floor in his room or something. He could remember a few weeks ago when he'd ran over here having a breakdown and had mistaken Josh for Branden due to the fact that his vision had been blurred by tears. Luckily for him Josh hadn't pushed him off of him when he'd buried his face into his shoulder and just let all of his emotions come out. He wondered if Holly knew about that, he hoped not since it was embarrassing.
What Holly said next really surprised him, out of all of the guys that she could possibly like she liked him. He blushed slightly and then looked down at the floor. "I like you more then a friend should too Holly, I just didn't think that you'd ever like me like that." He said as he slowly raised his eyes up so that they met hers. |

Holly just sat there fidgeting her fingers as she listened to what branden and he had done that day sounded fun she wondered why branden hadnt invited her then again he probably was talking to him about her or something she would find out later though, that sounds fun the woods is quiet i believe you she said laughing a bit as she looked up at him for a minute and back at her hands hopefully that wasnt a mistake to tell him that she thought to herself just fighting the urge to kiss her friend.
As she heard him say the exact same to her in a different way though it kind of surprised her to actually hear it from him she just looked up as his eyes met hers she couldnt fight the 'dont kiss your friend urge' leaning in towards him instead of kissing him on the cheek she leaned closer to his face connecting her lips with his and just kissed him for the first time wanting to back away but not want to back away she kissed him a bit more and pulled back a bit blushing a little.

Anthony felt her kiss him on the cheek and he noticed that she was blushing slightly afterwords. He hoped that she wasn't regretting doing that because he knew that he never would have worked up the nerve to kiss her first. In fact, he'd only been the first to kiss the girl who had was going out with at the time a few times. Usually it was the girl who kissed him first for some reason. "You don't have to be embarrassed about anything. I mean, it's not like you're the first girl who's ever kissed me or something. I just haven't had a girl kiss me in awhile." He said and knew that he was rambling but he just couldn't help it, he never would have guessed that something like this would ever happen to him. Since he had liked Holly for awhile now and apparently he'd shown signs of liking her since a few people had picked up on it. Luckily Holly hadn't, until now.
He cautiously moved closer to Holly as he tried to think of how she'd react if he kissed her because he really wanted to now.

Sitting there after that made her want to run she hadnt exactly been an expert on telling a guy her feelings and all that just happened fidgeting her fingers she looked up at him i see, well i havent exactly kissed a guy for a long while so yea she say though it sounded stupid to her she couldnt take it back dang im such a ditz right now she thought to herself trying not look at him but right now she was actually happy she told him how she felt before some other girl did and beat her to it.
As he inched closer she just sat there and glanced up at him so wanting to kiss him again but didnt then, she looked away but quickly back with a smile on her face, before she debated this time of asking of telling him okay well now thats out of the way she said with a slight laugh looking at her hands and him in the corner of her eye.

He did have to admit, he was a little shocked when she said that she hadn't kissed a guy in awhile. Sure Branden would have probably told him if she had since it seemed as if he told him every single thing that ever happened. But he knew that it was probably just because he was a good listener when it came to things like that. It was mostly because of how quiet he could get at times and some people just figured that he was really shy all of the time. That wasn't true he was only shy when he was around completely stranger and there had been a time that if a stranger approached him when he was with somebody then he would kind of hide behind them. But that stage was gone now and he would actually speak with a stranger if he was approached by one. "I do have to admit if somebody would have asked me if you liked me the same way that I liked you I probably wold have told them not. Since I would have never guessed that something like this would ever happen." He said and then looked around the home and he wondered where Toby was, the puppy usually would have ran right up to the front door when he heard it open. Maybe the puppy was sleeping or something because he knew that Branden hadn't brought the puppy with him.
He wanted to ask Holly out really bad but he didn't know if now was the time to do so. Since Branden had basically given him to go ahead to ask her out today but that hadn't necessarily meant that he had to ask her outright at this very moment. Although he knew that there was a very good chance of somebody else asking her out and he didn't really know if he would accept their offer. Heck, he didn't even know if Holly would say yes if he asked her out. Although there was a very good chance that she would he couldn't be sure of that until he actually did work up the never to ask her out. If only Branden or somebody would have actually told him a really good way to ask her out. Then he wouldn't feel so nervous about doing this. "I know that we've been friends for ages and all. And you honestly can say no to this question and forget that all of this ever happened. But would you..go out with me?" He asked and then waited for her answer. It felt like ages had passed since he had asked her out but he knew that only a few seconds had passed. |

Sitting there not saying anything seemed like forever when he said he never would have guessed if she liked him that way, smiling at her hands she looked up at him well nobody would have thought that anyway she said trying to keep her voice from going quiverey and all it was just getting her happy that they felt the exact same for each other so that was so cool.
But what came from him next was what caught her attention more then anything ever has, she knew from sean that branden wouldnt care if they did date he was brandens friend to and branden loved seeing her happy so this was one thing that made her happy she never thought she would end up dating her best friend, smiling and looking up at him she kissed his cheek before she answered yea we have been friends for quite a while she said before continuing with and yes I would love to go out with you before kissing him on the lips yet again and just sat there smiling at him.

"Branden might have expected something like this to happen. He kind of told me that he knew that I liked you and asked what I was waiting for when it came to asking you out today." He said and then looked down at the ground again sure he knew that he hadn't needed to tell her that. But she might have found it out anyway by talking with Branden. Although he was almost certain that he wouldn't have told her something like that he didn't know. Since sometimes things would kind of slip out, but Sean was the one who had that problem the most. He felt her kiss his cheek and then once he heard her reply a rush of happiness came over him. He was amazed when she kissed him on the lips simply because it once again proved that she was a lot more bolder then he was when it came to things like this. He had always been a little shy when it came to relationships though. Mike's death hadn't really did anything to make him that way. "You know, there's probably going to be a ton of guys mad at me now." He said and then leaned over and kissed her cheek lightly.
It felt nice not to be single again, he knew that Branden would probably be the first one to find out. And he really hoped that all of this didn't find its way into the gossip column since he really did not think that it was big news. Sure most people had forgotten that he existed but just because he was going out with somebody people shouldn't put it in the news. |

She smiled at him I think im the only one between you, branden and sean that didnt figure out the mutual crush thing she said with a slight laugh it sent a good feeling through her just sitting here beside him she had liked him for so long now it was actually a relief on her part to finally tell him as he mentioned there might be some guys mad at him since a few guys at school did find her attractive even though she was way athletic, i dont really care who gets mad at one of us they can be mad all they want. she said with a slight smile looking at him.
She wondered if they should tell branden or just let him figure it out on his own along with sean though she probably wouldnt be able to hold it in for long if they didnt figure it out, so should we let branden and sean figure it out between us or just tell them? she asked him severely needing a drink right then standing up she looked at him lets go get something to drink we have juice or pop your choice she said waiting to see what he thought of that.
