Zombie Love

I walked back down the stairs and stopped at the last step.  Every one else had left from our little Zombie Movie night.  Now it was just me and Stella. It was kind of quiet once Katie, Melanie, and Adam were gone.  Yes, they are my really good friends but sometimes... I just need to not be with them.  They are so loud you can't even think. I don't understand how Stella can get a word in when she's when with Katie and Melanie.
"So," Stella leaned her head back against the couch cushion and looked over at me, "Did you fall asleep during the movie?"
She blinked, "Psh... No. I did not."
"Ha alright just checking." I glanced at the floor, Adam's phone was lying there. He'll probably be half way home when hes realizes he left it and come back to get it.
"Hey Jason?"
"Yes?" I hopped off the last step and jumped onto the opposite end of the couch.
"I have a question," I looked up at her. Her hair was falling from her messy pony tail, "What would you do if I kissed you?"
I blinked. Ha. Oh man. That's an easy question. I would. . . Well. Not like I would tell her exactly. . .
"Um, I don't really know..?"
"Oh come on Jason. It's not that difficult," I pulled my eyebrows together in confusion. She rolled her eyes, "Think about it. Lets say.... Paige Monroe just came up and just started to try and make out with you."
I get a that sudden image in my head. I'm just walking down the hallway then Paige jumps out and wraps her skinny little chicken arms around me grabbing my face. I stopped and cringed.
Stella saw the disgusted look on my face, "But see. With the 'I don't know.' made it seem like you would be perfectly fine with swapping spit with that ugly Paige. But, I know that you would probably push her away. So," She shifted how she was sitting, crossing her legs out in front of her, "Knowing that, If I kissed you would you one: push me away and go 'EW', two: just kinda stand there and not do anything, ooorrrrr, three: kiss me back?"
Three. definitely three..."Wow," I gave a chuckle, "Stella you can over analyze things. Why do you want to know anyway?"
She leaned back against the couch then glanced at me quickly, "Umm.." She looked again again awkwardly, "No reason. Oh you know me. I think of random things."
"Stella, random is asking me if I like cheese pizza. Answer: yes. But, I don't think that was a random question."
Her cheeks turned pink.
"Come on, why did you ask? You can tell me." I gave a big smile.
"Hmm...," She looked at me, her eyes looking a darker blue in the dim light of the basement, "Alright. I lied earlier, I actually did fall asleep during the movie."
"Ha. Knew it."
"Yeah.. ANYWAY! Somewhere between the main Zombie Slayer stopping a zombie from eating that guy's brain and him almost getting killed for like the fifteenth time in the movie I fell asleep and well..." She paused and started to laugh, "Promise you wont laugh?" I nodded my head, "Ok. Well, I just had like some random dream that I tried to kiss you... Why? I don't know. You completely flipped out though and then you weren't my friend anymore and hated me. I woke up kind of freaking out cause I was thinking Oh no! Jason hates me now! Then... I realized I was just dreaming... So... Yeah..."
She looked at me with a look that was slightly embarrassed.
"Oh Stella that would never happen. I would never hate you for that."
"Alright good to know! Yet. The question still remains unanswered."
I paused. "What would you do if the situation was flipped around?"
"Um. Excuse me. I asked first." She crossed her arms over herself, her eyebrow raised.
"Well," I mimicked her, "I asked second."
She rolled her eyes. "Well..." She moved again. Letting her legs hang off the couch. She was sitting slightly closer to me now,"I don't really know. I haven't really thought about it."
Then an idea hit me. I moved, getting closer to her, "Well... I think I know how we can figure it out."
Stella dark blue eyes locked onto mine. I reached my hand out and set it lightly on the side of face, by her ear. She lightly bit her lip. We both started to lean in. Less then an inch. A centimeter. Less then a centimeter.
"Hey Jason I - Whoa!" Adam was suddenly standing there at the end of the stairs. Me and Stella jumped back from each other, our lips had barely touched, "Oh. I'm Um. Sorry." Adam said looking at the ground, "I just. Came back because I left my phone here.. Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt anything." He glanced up awkwardly.
I picked his phone up off the floor and handed it to him, "It's ok."
Adam looked at his phone then over to Stella then to me, "Ok... I'm gonna... Yeah I'll go." He spun around on his heals and walked up the stairs quickly.
I laughed, "What are the odds of that happening?"
Stella bursted out laughing, "Slim. Very slim."
