My Ex is my Bestfriend

"Cassidy. Don't. Test. My. Patience!!"

I giggled and traced my finger on his face. "Oh really? Don't you like this Minho?"

"Well I-I.. I don't know Cassidy!" He abruptly stood up and looked down on me. "You- Argh!" and then stormed off towards the bedroom.

Oh no. Is he mad? Oh what the hell did I even do? Did I push him too much? Argh whatever. I have to apologize.

I followed him to the bedroom. I saw him lying on his side on the bed, facing the closet. I sighed. He's like a child having a tantrum.

I slowly approached him and sat on the other side of the bed.

"Minho, I'm sorry."

I peeked at him, and he didn't move an inch, much less a small sound. Oh, really a child.

I crawled to him and hugged him from behind.

"Was I superbad awhile ago Minho? I'm sorry. Really. It's just that, you told me you'll love me even if I have those bad traits, and I can't hide it in anymore. I want to show you what I'm really like."

I heard him sigh, and then he moved to face me. "It's not that Cassidy, and I'm truly happy that you trust me of what you truly are. But, we have to compromise with this. You could just trim off the bad okay? At least until I can get used to it."

"Trim? How?"

"Uh you know, a light kiss here and there, a tickle or what. Just not the seduction mode Cassidy, because I really will not be ever to resist that again. Okay? Maybe in the future, but not yet. I'm in raging hormones phase now because you happened."

I chuckled. "I happened? What's that supposed to mean Minho?"

"Uh, well. I'm not really sure yet Cassidy. Tell me, what are we now?"

"Oh. Well, uhm, first of all, I want to tell you that I like to be with you. That I'm comfortable being with you. And that, I don't want to see you go away from me. I really, really like you that I just wanted to be with you."

I stopped and looked at him for his reactions. And what I saw melted my heart. He was smiling at me, his eyes a little wet. I teared up as well.

"And Minho, I'm not really sure if what I'm feeling right now is love. But I'm pretty sure that I want you to stay with me, always."

Minho hugged me. "Oh Cassidy. I love you so much. I love you. I love you. You don't know how happy I am!"

I laughed. "I am too Minho." And I kissed him on the lips.

After an intense moment of kissing, we stopped because that's what we agreed upon. And then we just lay there and talked of so many things wherever our minds would wander.

"Hey Cass, I wanted to show you something."

"Okay. That's nothing scary, I hope?"

"No. None of the sort."

And then he retrieved his phone. He's gonna show me a photo maybe, or a text, or whatever. I looked at the phone, waiting for it to light up. But it didn't.

I looked at him accusingly, "Okay Minho, where is it?"

He chuckled. "You're looking at the wrong place. Look up."

I looked up and wow! "You didn't tell me you have a glass roof. Magnificent! These stars! This is so cool! We could look for constellations Minho. Let's see. Hmmmm" I looked sideways to think thoroughly, and then I saw outside, from the glass door, that it's snowing heavily.

"But it's snowing heavily outside Minho. Why could we-"

He showed me a remote control. "You could change the view. You could have these, aaahh fireworks. Or sunny sky, cloudy, a rainbow or just play with it."

I slapped him everywhere in his body. "You sly fox. I really thought some romantic rooftop opening and showing me the stars on the night sky, but here it is, some freaking slideshow!"

He chuckled, oblivious to my torrential slapping. "My deepest apologies, but it's really the most convenient thing to do here since it's always snowing here. You could only see the stars seldomly."

I stopped slapping him and sighed. "Yeah I know. It's just, for a second there, I really really thought, it's gonna open and all that. But I really understand the rationale of it all. I'm sorry for overreacting."

Minho kissed my forehead. "It's okay baby. No worries. I was rather enjoying the moment when you were happily slapping me."

"I wasn't happy!" I shouted defensively.

"Yeah whatever. But really, I love seeing you brimming with emotions, so full of life."

"So what if I bawl my eyes here, would you still be so happy about it?"

"No! I don't mean it that way. I meant was that, you don't hide your feelings anymore. You let me in on what you're truly feeling. And that's what I'm happy about."

I smiled. "Smooth, Minho."

He laughed.

And the night went on just like that.
