"OH SHIT! SORRY! "He muttered that while reddening his cheeks and immediately turning around.
"Henry Williams, do you have a flush on your face? Seriously?" I responded with a chuckle and said, "To tell you the truth, it's fine; after all, it's not much different than seeing me in a bikini, is it?
You have done that literally thousands of times "I responded by shaking my head at him and stating, "Jeez, he's seen hundreds of girls wearing fewer clothes than I am wearing." "Err, my pajamas are over there on that side there; if you could pass them to me, that would be great!" I inquired while pointing at the drawers that were next to him, and then I turned back to the film and fast-forwarded through the trailers.
When I turned around, Henry was much closer than I had anticipated, and I accidentally ran into him, which caused me to lose my equilibrium. Henry's hands came out and grabbed my waist to stabilize me, but then he swiftly jerked away, acting as if I had burned him.
My arms were tingling where his hands had touched them, and my chest was being compressed against his as he stood very near to me. I peered into his eyes and noticed that he appeared to be conflicted about something and that he appeared to be attempting to solve a really difficult mathematical problem. After that, he turned his head away from me, closed his eyes, and stepped back while extending his hand to give me my pajamas. I was in a hurry, so I quickly got dressed and slipped into bed. I kept my distance as he undressed in front of me, standing there in only his black boxers, the muscles in his back tensing up while he folded up his jeans.
Oh my God, he is so flawless and lovely; to tell you the truth, I believe that when God created Henry, he outdid even himself. I bit my lip to conceal the moan of need that I felt as I slowly raked my eyes over his entire body thinking of all of the things I wanted to do to him, which made my body quiver with desire. As I thought of all of the things I wanted to do to him, my body tingled with desire. My staring was abruptly stopped as he yanked the switch that controlled the light. I heaved a sigh and thought to myself, "I really need to quit lusting after my best friend. Jeez, what the hell is wrong with me?"
He brought me a bowl of popcorn, and I immediately began eating it in order to divert my attention away from the proximity of his chiseled and sculpted figure to me. "You went for sweet then?" I said while cracking a grin.
He nudged me in the side and said, "Yeah, I made you sweet and I've got salty because I know you'll want to exchange in a while so you can have both anyway." "I made you sweet and I've got salty because I know you'll want to swap in a bit so you can have both."
As I watched the movie, a smile spread over my face. God, he knows me so well, and he is so damn wonderful. When he does make up his mind to commit to a relationship with someone, the lucky lady who gets him as a boyfriend is in for a treat. I tried to ignore the feelings of envy that came over me when I considered the possibility of him having a romantic relationship with another person; after all, he wasn't mine; the two of us were just friends. As he wrapped his arm over me, I shifted closer to his side and let out a contented sigh of contentment.

To my great shame, Henry insisted on being present the following evening when Blake picked me up from where I was staying. I didn't know what we had planned for tonight, so I decided to wear a fitted black button-down shirt and a red lace bra underneath my denim skirt. If you looked closely enough, you could see a little bit of the bra through the shirt, which is what I assumed Blake would do. He stayed downstairs while I got ready.
I wore a denim skirt that cut off at mid-thigh. I thought we might be doing some walking tonight, so I went ahead and got some ballet flats. I pulled up about a third of my hair and curled the remainder. As I was finished getting ready ahead of schedule, I headed downstairs with Henry. As soon as he saw me walk in, his eyes widened and a small gap appeared in the corner of his mouth. He then quickly readjusted his facial expression and gasped.
"Am I really so unattractive? Should I make a switch?" I asked glancing down at myself.
He frowned and rubbed the nape of his neck uneasily as he told her, "No, you look amazing Samantha, it's only that you should put on a new top, you can see your bra in that one."
I had a good laugh "That sums up the entire argument! You've probably seen someone else wear it like that before "I said shaking my head at him.
"No, well, I wasn't trying to get into your trousers like he will; he'll take it as an invitation!" "Yeah, well, I wasn't trying to get into your pants like he will." He yelled at me and then quickly appeared contrite, saying, "Sorry didn't mean that, I'm just a bit scared that's all," as he checked me over once more while speaking carefully.
After a few seconds of silence on his part, I started to get a bit uneasy and wonder why on earth he was staring at me in such a way. Why the hell is he looking at me like that? Henry's eyes were wandering all over my breasts and legs, and holy crap, was he yearning after me? "Henry, are you interested in what I have to say?" I burst into tears a little bit in disbelief, praying to God to please say yes and kiss me once more.
He sprang into the air for what seemed like a mile and then looked about with some remorse before shouting "NO" loudly while appearing uneasy. Oh my gosh, he really was, well, I guess that just goes to show that he is a player.
I let out a chuckle and then replied, "Seriously, I was joking," while he moaned and continued to touch the back of his neck.
"Are you really going to humiliate me in front of everyone?" I asked while staring at him with a desperate expression.
Just as the doorbell rang, he spoke the following phrase: "I just want to talk to him, that's all."
I responded as I turned to go by saying, "I'll get it," but he grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him before laughing and running out the door first.
As he opened the door while continuing to laugh, he addressed the small girl by saying, "Better luck next time."
"Hey Henry, we haven't seen each other in a very long time," Blake stated casually.
Henry pushed me backwards and announced, "I'll be right back," before exiting the room and beginning to close the door behind him. "I'll be right back." I prevented the door from closing in my face by slamming my hand against the door as it was closing.
"Henry, are you joking around here?" I was astonished, so I asked him if he was really going outside to have a private conversation with Blake. "What am I like 5? You can't possibly threaten him in my presence, can you?" I inquired while giving the back of his head a gentle slap.
Blake let out a chuckle. He winked at me and pulled the door shut as he remarked, "It's okay, let's let him get it off his chest," and I did nothing except stand there dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open like an idiot. As soon as the door was shut, the shock was gone, and I instantly put my ear to the door in an attempt to listen to what they were talking about. However, all I could hear were voices that were muddled together, and I could not make out any individual words. I heaved a sigh and walked up the stairs to sit down and wait.
Henry eventually opened the door, and after a couple of minutes he went back in while shaking his head and muttered something under his breath; Blake appeared frustrated as well. "Are we done here with the talk for the grown-up boys?" Blake laughed as I flashed a death gaze in Henry's direction while I asked the question sarcastically.
Henry wrapped his arm around my shoulders and murmured, "Yeah, everything's finished, have fun," before releasing his grip. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "If there are any problems at all, call me, and I'll come and pick you up, I don't care what hour it is or where you are, do you understand?" as he kissed my cheek and brought his face to my ear.
After saying, "Right, ok well I'll see you tomorrow Henry," I grabbed my jacket and looked up to find Blake and Henry giving each other the cold shoulder. "Right, ok well I'll see you tomoorrow Henry," I said. I mumbled to myself, "Guys and testosterone are honestly such a pain in the neck," as I grabbed Blake's hand and dragged him out of the door while rolling my eyes. "Guys and testosterone are seriously such an annoyance."
While we were walking to Blake's car, he complimented my legs and added, "You look wonderful, nice legs."
I responded to his scowl with a chuckle and replied, "Thanks, but if you're trying to impress me, you need to work on your compliments."
"Make some progress on my compliments? How about that? "he said this as he gently pulled me against the side of his car and put his hands on either side of my head, putting his face close to mine. he did this while we were in the middle of our conversation. With a relaxed smile on his face, he remarked, "You look very sexy, and you're making my mouth swim."
I laughed out loud once again and remarked with a sneer, "A bit better."
"Are you aware of how stunningly lovely you are?" He commented on it while arching his brow.
I responded with "Better" as he inched his way closer to me.
