you left your
party.”
He jumps in front of me and holds me by my shoulders
as he looks directly into my eyes. They ’ re hard and angry
and would scare anyone who didn ’ t know him. But I do, so I ’ m the one who ’ s mad. He startles me by
jumping in my pathway, so I have to stop walking. “Okay, seriously, I ’ m not leaving you when you ’ re fucking like
this.”
“There ’ s nothing you can say or
do-” I begin before he stops me. It ’ s an interruption that
his lips create to make mine stop puking up words. It ’ s a
1-0 pitch; you never know if it ’ s going to be a strike or
another ball. I sort of thought maybe he was going to kiss me, but I also
considered he just really sucks in the romance department and wants to confuse
me. The kiss is hard, but his lips are soft as are his hands placed on the back
of my head and on my right side. I ’ m melting into him,
like he ’ s Aladdin and I ’ m Jasmine
sweating in my undercover disguise from being a princess. We finally found each
other and he ’ s not intrigued by my royalty because he
doesn ’ t know about it. He doesn ’ t
stop kissing me when he needs a breath; it ’ s like now that
he ’ s started this, he doesn ’ t want it
to end. I know I don ’ t want it to ever end. I ’ m making out with the guy I ’ ve been in
love with my entire life. He pulls me closer, almost as close as that night on
the lake last summer when lake patrol caught us. I feel like I ’ m
floating on a cloud, like this can ’ t be real. I want to
have him pinch me, but he tastes too much like heaven to let go. Just when I
think it can ’ t get any better, he slips his tongue into my
mouth to gently brush mine. I hate that he ’ s clearly
experienced, but I can feel his protectiveness anytime he ’ s
with me, even when we ’ re losing ourselves in each other
for the first time. After a few minutes he begrudgingly pulls our lips apart
but rests his forehead inches from mine, and I assume he ’ s
trying to read me.
“ That should ’ ve been
your fucking first kiss,” Skyler whispers passionately.

This kiss is a long time coming, but apparently Buzz thinks differently.
She looks completely blissed out, like she wants more, but her words are dead
opposite.
“What about your girlfriend?” she blurts out,
keeping her mouth slightly open like she ’ s mentally
replaying our kiss. Damn that ’ s sexy.
“Seriously? You ’ re the closest
thing I have to a girlfriend. I don ’ t know where you heard
that shit from, but I ’ m not dating anyone,” I clarify as
we head back to my Jeep and I take us back to my party. I can ’ t
look at her without wanting to kiss her again, so I avoid looking at any part
of her while driving. As we walk up the driveway I can ’ t
take my eyes off of her; maybe when everyone leaves the party we can go in my
room and make out some more. That would be the best fucking birthday present
ever. For tonight being her first kiss, she’s pretty damn good at it. The only
reason I ended our kiss was because I could barely breathe and her knees were
about to buckle from under her.
Everyone at my party is horribly gossipy as we walk
back into the house like we never left. Buzz was quiet the entire car ride, but
she has a glowing radiance about her that tells me she ’ s
soaking in what just happened on the baseball diamond. Over the years I ’ ve seen her do some crazy things that pump her adrenaline,
which is one of her motivations for being so daring and adventurous. Seeing
that her reaction to my kiss parallels those heart pumping moments she longs
for makes it completely worth it.
However, her brother and our close friends don ’ t agree. At all. When we walk into my house, they ’ re
the only ones standing in the kitchen waiting for
party.”
