Bestfriend to Boyfriend? (Zayn one direction fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Tessa's POV:

It's January 11. The snow is barely sprinkling and its glistening in the night sky. I love this weather so I decide to go for a walk. I approach my best friend Zayn's house. He's sitting on his front porch gazing at the stars and watching the snow fall flake by flake.

"Hey loser." I say teasingly.

"Rude." He says back with a wink. I smile at him a bit before realizing something.

"So it's your birthday tomorrow,"

"And....?" He says even though he obviously knows what I'm talking about.

"What do you want!!!" I say giving him a playful push. We're both laughing until I look at him with anticipation.

"I don't know! You of all people know me best. What do YOU think I want?" He says still chuckling. I glare at him because that is not the answer I needed. Or wanted. I sigh and look up at the stars. I watch them until out of the corner of my eye I see Zayn staring at me. Not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I do. He really looks good in his varsity jacket and beanie. I look over. He sees me and looks down. He finally looks up and I smile at him. Then I slide over next to him. I can feel his warmth radiate onto me.

I lean my head onto his shoulder as he wraps his arm around me. We aren't a couple, but sometimes we really act like it. I kinda wish we were. Wait, he's my best friend. And only that. Right? I can't think of him like that, can I? I endure the moment by looking up at the stars again. He breathes a deep breath and I feel his chest moving. I like being this close to him. It makes me feel protected. I get so lost in my train of thought that I slowly slip into sleep.

Zayn's POV:

Tessa's head is on my shoulder now. She stopped by while on her walk. I love having her this close to me. I look down and her eyes are shut. I stare at her beautiful face. After about a minute I pick her up with both arms and carry her into my house. I set her on the couch and wrapped a blanket around her. I shot her parents a quick text saying that she could stay the night here. They replied with an 'okay'. I laid on the other couch next to her. She looked like an angel asleep. I wish she was mine. But I don't know if she has the same feelings for me as I do for her. I hate that feeling. The feeling

of loving someone without having definite thoughts that they love you back. I want her. I need her. She's everything to me. I don't want to ruin our friendship though. It's an amazing friendship and I can't just throw that away. As these thoughts were floating through my mind I felt myself drifting off. I kept catching myself when finally I slipped into a deep sleep.

Chapter 2

Tessa's POV:

I woke up on Zayn's couch. How did I get here? Why am I here? I look over at the other couch and see Zayn asleep. He looks adorable with his eyes closed and his hands curled up near his face. I look down and readjust myself underneath my blanket. I suddenly feel a pair of eyes on me. I look over and Zayn is smiling at me. I silently laugh underneath my covers. He sort of giggles too and then stands up. He walks over to me.

"Sleep good?" He says winking.

"Yeah" I reply. "Why am I here?"

"You fell asleep on my shoulder last night. I carried you in here and set you on my couch, then sent your parents a text saying where you were."

"Oh okay" I say with a smile. I stand up too and give him a hug. "Happy birthday best friend."

We hug for a while, then finally pull apart. He still has his arms around me. I can see him staring at my face. At every detail. He bites his lower lip. I know what he's trying to do. And I want him too. He leans in and I feel it happening. His hands go behind my neck and pulls my face near his. His lips meet mine. Why aren't we together? I want him and he clearly wants me. He just hasn't popped that question yet. We pull away and I just look at him. I soon smile and he steps away.
