Mike took a deep breath as Vic started playing his song. I instantly knew what it was, and I'm not going to lie, it brought tears to my eyes. Maybe Mike really does still care;

Here in this world I’m awaked with mistakes
But its love that keeps fueling me
Fueling me
Pretty little lady with your swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I’m not that perfect
But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see
Miles away I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
My embrace
Far away…
Pretty little lady with your swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I’m not that perfect
But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see
Don’t give up, Baby
I know that its shaky
Just let love consume us
Consume us…
Here in this world I’m awaked with mistakes
But its love that keeps fueling me
Fueling me to love you
Miles away I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
Be not afraid to love me…
Pretty little lady with your swollen eyes
Would you show them to me?
I know I’m not that perfect
But you stay awhile
Baby, then you will see

He sang our song. When You Can’t Sleep at Night, that’s our song, and he just sang it. I felt the tears in my eyes start to spill over as I looked at Mike. His eyes looked damp as he gazed back at me, he smiled. There was something different about this smile though, it seemed realer than any other smile I've seen from him recently.

Vic must have noticed the amount of emotion between the two of us because he grabbed Jaime’s wrist and said, “Let’s grab dinner or something! I want to talk to you in private!”

I saw Jaime nod as his face turned red. Vic led him out of the room quickly, leaving Mike and I alone with each other. I looked away, suddenly feeling really embarrassed. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that after all…

“Tone?” Mike said, putting his hand on my face, “I might just be egotistical, but… Was that song about me?”

I couldn't speak, so I just nodded slowly. I heard Mike sigh… It didn't sound like he was frustrated though… Maybe it was a sigh of relief?

He used his hand to move my face so I was looking at him. He was smiling still. I couldn’t help but smile back when he looked into my eyes. His were filled with so much emotion and soul.

“I never wanted to be just friends,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper, “But I thought you hated me…”

“I’m not going to lie,” I said, my voice quivering, “I did, for a long time. I hated you because when you left, you took my heart. I hated you because you left without an excuse. I hated you because I couldn't stop caring about you. But, when I saw you again, I knew I couldn't hate you forever. And when you explained yourself, I felt so much better, that’s when I knew I couldn’t be your friend Mike…”

He nodded and took his hand off of my face, gently caressing it on the way down, “I’ll never be able to make it up to you Tony Turtle…”

He put one hand on the back of my neck and pulled me closer, “But I hope this is a start,” He pulled me even closer and pressed his lips up against mine. I responded instantly, I’ve been waiting so long for this moment. And it’s finally happening again, I felt the fireworks go off as he ran his tongue along my lower lip. This moment, is pure bliss.

~*POV Jaime*~

I wonder what Vic wants to talk to me about. He pulled me out of the apartment and down the stairs so fast that I couldn’t ask. I didn't exactly want to leave Tony; he looked like he was getting emotional… But he was with Mike… And I’d do anything to spend alone time with Vic… That sounds weird, doesn’t it?

“So,” Vic said once we were in his car, “There’s this really good Thai place not too far from here that we could eat at.”

“Sounds perfect,” I said, smiling at him, “I love Thai food!”

He chuckled at me as he drove. I love it when he does that, his laugh is adorable. I feel really weird having a full blown crush on him… But I guess you can’t control this type of thing… Not like it really matters, he’ll never like me back. I highly doubt he likes guys, even if he did, I doubt he’d like me… This boy is beautiful, he could have anyone he wants, guy or girl.

We rode in silence and I pretty much looked at him the whole time. It was a bit awkward because a couple of times and caught me. He didn’t like freak out though, his face would turn pink and he’d smile back at me. Maybe this is a good sign?

When we pulled into the restaurant, Vic got out of the car and opened the door for me. I blushed slightly and thanked him, it was a nice gesture. We walked up to the restaurant and stepped inside. My first impression of the place was it seemed perfect.

It didn’t look fancy, but it also didn’t look cheap. The hostess took us to a table for two, nestled in the back, very secluded and left us with the menus. I took one look and knew what I was ordering; once our waitress took our orders I looked at Vic and said;

“So, you said earlier that you wanted to talk to me in private… What’s up?”

“Well,” he stammered, “This is really awkward for me, and I’m sure it will be for you once I tell you… But I need too. Jaime, I really like you.”

I felt my face become red; he just said that he liked me. I let myself wander into daydream land. I saw us kissing, I saw us cuddling and laughing and enjoying our relationship. I smiled at the thought of it. But then I realized that there is no way that he means it like I want him to.

“I like you too Vic,” I said, smiling to conceal my disappointment, “You’re a great friend.” The last part to ensure he knew what I meant.

“No, Jaime,” he said, emotionless, “I like you as more than a friend. I’m sorry.”

I felt my heart whirl and my stomach became a pit of butterflies. He does mean what I want him too, “Don’t apologize,” I said, looking up at him and smiling, “That’s what I hoped you meant…”

He smiled broadly and blushed. I felt myself blushing right back. It seems like for once, something’s working out in my favor…

“I might be out of line,” he said, putting his hand on top of mine “But can I try something?”

I nodded, suddenly unable to speak. He was touching my hand; I felt my skin catch on fire.

He leaned over the table, it seemed to be a bit of a problem because he was short. So I leaned forward to meet him halfway. He smirked and placed one hand on face, bringing me closer. I felt my heart practically explode as he directed my face in such a way that my lips met his. The kiss was perfect, it wasn’t over the top and there was no tongue, but it was more than just a peck. I felt so much emotion during the little time, I’ve never had this response from a kiss before. This was defiantly the start of something new and different… And perfect.

Notes

Guys... It happened... I really hope it's good enough for you... Let me know! I'm really insecure about my fluff writing skills, and well, my writing skills in general but oh well. The song is 'When You Can't Sleep at Night' by Of Mice & Men :D
