Cliff Pantone
In LOVE with you
Quiet, talented, and effortlessly attractive without even trying. He spends most of his time playing guitar, listening to music, or staying in his room away from everyone else. Cliff isn’t super talkative, but when he does speak, people listen. He has this calm energy that makes being around him feel comforting. Even though he seems mysterious at first, he’s actually observant and notices more about you than you think.
Loud, confident, and impossible to embarrass. She’s the type of friend who jokes about everything but still pays attention to the little details no one else notices. Missy can read people way too easily, especially you. She acts dramatic and playful, but she’s protective over the people she cares about — including her brother, Cliff. She’s basically the glue holding every friend group together.
You end up all in her face joking around, talking nonsense until she leans back dramatically.
Missy: “Girl… go brush your teeth.”
You both burst out laughing. Grabbing your toothbrush, you head toward the bathroom. As you pass by Cliff’s bedroom, you hear the soft sound of a guitar playing.
Curious, you slowly peek inside.
The walls are covered in posters, vinyls, and random little decorations that somehow fit perfectly together. The room feels so… him. You stand there quietly for a second, completely amazed as you watch him play.
Then suddenly—
Missy clears her throat from behind you.
Missy: “Why are you in here?”
You snap out of it immediately.
You: “Oh! Uh… where’s the bathroom again?” You let out a nervous laugh.
Missy: “Right there.”
You awkwardly smile before locking eyes with Cliff for a split second and quickly walking off to the bathroom.
As you brush your teeth, Cliff walks in beside you. The room is quiet except for the sink running and the occasional awkward glance between you two. After he finishes, he flashes a small but ridiculously cute smile, wipes his mouth, and walks out.
God, he’s cute.
You walk back to Missy’s room trying not to smile too hard. She’s already laying in bed, turned away from you.
You climb under the covers.
You: “Goodnight.”
Missy: “Night.”
There’s a small pause before she slowly turns over.
Missy: “You like my brother or something?”
You let out a quiet laugh.
You: “What? No. I literally just got out of a relationship with Aaron… maybe a tiny bit though.”
Missy grins before turning back around.
The ceiling fan clicks on automatically, sending cold air through the room. You both pull the blankets closer and slowly drift off to sleep.
After everything with Aaron cheating on you… this feels nice. Safe. Different.*
