Chapter 28 - i'll make an exception

(The three had only one job, and it was only looking at them or giving them sussy looks. George rolled his eyes and leaned more closer to William so that William can comfortably sleep and he also put his head on William's head)

(As the movie ended, everyone was about to get up and go back. But they saw the lovebirds sleeping so peacefully and they smiled. The three [Emily, Travis and James] took their photos silently. Then James went to his home. Emily and Travis also went to their rooms. Mrs. Watson got a blanket and put it on them, preventing them from getting cold. Then she turned off the lights and went to her own room)

Next day

(George woke up first. He looked at his surroundings and realised that he slept in William's house. He looked to his side and saw a sleeping William, still clinging to him like he was something special. George smiled and closed his eyes again, going back to sleep)

-

(After a while William woke up. He got shocked when he realised that he was hugging George. But then he smiled. George also had his arm on him. He poked George's left cheek and scrunched his nose, silently squealing for the beauty next to him)

[Once again, it's only in the novel because sleeping beauties do not exist in real life. At least in mine, because i haven't got the chance to have one]

(When he realised what he was doing, he pulled his hand back. Ignoring the situation, he looked at the time. It was currently 6 and their university starts at 8. So, he went back to sleep, hugging him again. But he wasn't aware that George was awake this whole time, he just kept his eyes closed. After a few minutes, just as he heard soft snores from William, he opened his eyes and looked at him smiling like an idiot. He kept admiring him)

George: so you do realise it. But still, you keep me waiting. I could've been mad if it was someone else, but it's you. So, i'll make an exception. I-

(George was whispering to himself because he knew that William was asleep. But he couldn't complete his whole speech because someone interrupted him)

Mrs. Watson: hey loverboy! Done admiring my son?

(She said in a low yet playful voice which caught him off guard. He shook his head and carefully freed himself from William's grip. Then he went to Mrs. Watson, who just got into the kitchen. He stood beside her and leaned down a bit)

George: how did you know?

Mrs. Watson: about what?

(George hesitated)

George: about me loving William.

Mrs. Watson: well, at first it was just a thought that maybe it might be true. But then after last night, i'm totally sure about it. What about him, does he like you too?

George: i'm not sure. Sometimes he acts like he does but then he distances himself all of a sudden which is confusing.

(Mrs. Watson sighed knowing the reason of William's behaviour. She looked at George)

Mrs. Watson: have you ever asked him about it, like why does he act like that?

George: i have, a few times. But he gets tensed up. So, i just change the topic thinking he will tell me by himself whenever he feels like it.

(Mrs. Watson smiled a little. She placed her hand on George's shoulder)

Mrs. Watson: you're a nice guy. William's lucky that he has such a nice guy as his friend.

George: no Mrs. Watson. That's not true. I'm the one who's actually lucky. I'm sorry i haven't told you about my past.

Mrs. Watson: i know everything about your past. The main reason why William avoids being in a relationship is related to your past self.

George: so he avoids me because i was a play boy? But i'm trying to change-

Mrs. Watson: that's not you. That's his ex, Zack. He was a play boy. You might wonder, "why he's mostly cold?" Or "why doesn't he have a lot of friends?" or "why isn't he outgoing like others?" That's all because of those people from his past who called themselves his best friends, his lover and other things like that.

(George got to know about William's past and he was literally in tears. He just wanted to hug William and tell him that he'll always be there for him no matter what. He wiped his tears away and got out of the kitchen)
