Childhood Bestfriends with Hollywood's Golden Boypart6

Chapter 6 .....

RECAP:

"Look at the state of us. What would your adoring fans think if they saw you now?"

I asked, walking over to the kitchen towel and wiping my face.

Ari smirked at me and winked cockily from the island

" That spaghetti never looked so good"

I felt my stomach dip as I realized I might agree.......

.......................................

I could feel a smile itching to break out on my face,

What could I say to that?

I agree?

Hell no.

So, Instead of facing my confusing internal reactions to my best friend, I grabbed another kitchen towel from the counter and chucked it at him.

He easily caught it in one hand.

I had always been envious of his amazing reflexes. I, on the other hand, couldn't catch a ball to save my life.

I finally let the smile I had previously hidden burst onto my face " Hmmm I'm not so sure that I haven't seen better, I'm not one of your crazy fans remember?" I said teasingly, slowly becoming uneasily aware that I was lying as I spoke.

Ari's smile seemed to dim slightly and he sighed, " Yeah, how could I forget?"

But then his smile seemed to slip back on seamlessly again as he continued " you're my best friend Ella Bear - you'll never be a fan."

His smile was completely normal but there was something in his eyes that made me acutely aware of how see through my top was in front of him, how the outline of my body was so clear and how close we'd been only seconds before.

I felt my stomach knot slightly at the thought.

Urghhhh. Why does it have to keep doing that?

"Oh really?" I said, crossing my hands over my chest in an attempt to slyly cover myself. After all, I was the only one between us who hadn't been deemed physically attractive enough to have random people in star bucks drooling over my half naked image on their phone.

Ari chuckled revealing his straight white teeth, as he wiped the remainders of our food fight off his jeans, all the while keeping eye contact with me" Well do you see me having spontaneous food fights with my fans?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of Ari starting food fights with his fans.

I mean talk about out numbered.

Then again, I'm sure they'd all be happy to lick whatever they threw at him off again....

I somehow felt uncomfortable at that thought. Also at the fact that for the second time today my thought seemed to be stepping outside the best friend code of conduct.

And I didn't seem to be able to do a thing about it.

I quickly pushed the thoughts out of my head " I guess not" I said smiling, " Any way we really need to get this place cleaned.... How about you mop the floor and I'll do the cabinets?"

And I got the flash and cleaning wipes out of the lower cabinets while I could hear Ari opening the big side cupboard that squeaked when it opened and trying to find the mop in the piles of stuff my mum had crammed in there.

As I began to wipe the cold, strong smelling wipes across the cabinets, revealing my mums cherished imported wood underneath, I realised I could still hear banging from the cupboard.
