If it were Angel, she'd been nagging her for a week. "I know. I guess it's just different seeing it first hand." There wasn't a lot of people who yelled at AJ.
Even though she would never admit it to Adi, she had no intentions of doing it again. It was painful and she felt like she would never get warmed up completely for as long as she lived. "Pinky promise." She wiggled her pinky at him. If he could stick out his tongue then she could suggest that they pinky promise on it. AJ was stocking up on his jackets. "Yours are better than mine." they seemed to keep her warmer. Her mum would never go for buying her a 'guy' jacket so she was stuck with 'cute' ones that didn't do anything for you warmth wise.
Umm, that's not really what she meant. For a moment she thought about just playing it off like that was where she was going with that. Blowing out air, she decided to make her intentions clear. "That's not what I meant exactly." Not one to beat around the bush, she was blurting out more confessions before she could control it. "I mean like more than a friend."
"And I promise I wouldn't be your "mother" again,'' Adi said.
"Unless you are going to end up doing some really, really silly.'' Yep. He stuck out his pinky, hooking it on AJ's. It reminded him of being a kid. Kids did this a lot. "It's not the Unforgivable Curse so we'd both be tempted to break it,'' he said jokingly. And about the jackets...
"Well, I know what to get you for your birthday.''
Wait. What? More than a friend. Oh no. Adi tore his eyes away from AJ's. He did not feel the same way about her and if he told her that, she'd be really hurt. How could he do that? She was his second closest friend... maybe he should joke it off.
"It's just a crush,'' he said weakly, still not looking at her.
"Because I saved you just now, I guess. And we hang out all the time.'' Yeah. That would be it.
