so keep your pie-hole shut.”
Amber held her hands up. “Defensive much?”
“Okay you two, stop. I don’t care if Caleb went out with anyone else, he isn’t going out with her now and that’s what matters,” I lie. Was she pretty? I bet she has great hair .
“Not as pretty as you and your hair is the fairest in the land,” Caleb whispered.
Melting…you can find me in a puddle .
“Amber, if you really want to know what it feels like, why did you make fun of Caleb?” I asked. I smoothed my shirt down in a moment of nervous fidgeting.
Amber sat up straight and grabs her backpack and starts frantically rummaging around in it. “I’m not making fun of him. What I’m trying to make sure of is his feelings around you. It was a test…of sorts,” she said pulling out a leather-bound book. “This book explains the bond very similar to Caleb’s explanation. The book says that very few bound people that are meant to be a couple will find pleasure in going out with anyone else. I knew he didn’t go out with Brooke more than two times. Hell, the entire school knew it. Brooke moaned and groaned about him not kissing her and didn’t touch her at all. She knows his dad is loaded and wanted him to take her to a dance, she was using him. She’s a loser. So, it sounds like you have the real thing, which is kinda strange and kinda cool.”
“I think this calls for something sweet, I’ll be back in a minute,” I said. Caleb took my hand as I stood up and pulled him up to standing. Well, I didn’t really pull him all by myself, he helped.
“I thought you might like some help.”
Heck yeah I need help. I’m a light throwing, shadow chased teenager that is dying to have Caleb kiss me. I bet my breath smells like a pepperoni, damn. He can probably hear me, crap. No more thinking, none. Zip, nodda, none. Okay,tell him you need to go to the bathroom, brush your teeth. Get back before mom and grandma does, and lay a big kiss on him.
“You’re going to lay a big what on me? I only caught the tail end of that thought,” Caleb grinned.
I throw my head back in exasperation, “Oh that is so cheating,” I said. He steps closer to me until my back is up against the refrigerator and his hands are placed on each side of me. I hold my breath so he can’t smell it. I’m oddly aware that my breast are about to be smashed against his chest. I mentally sigh at the thought. One beat, two beats, three…breathe in, breathe out…one beat, two beats, three…
“Jessie?” He says my name so beautifully. “Can I kiss you?”
In a moment before our mouths meet, I nod my head yes as I’m unable to speak. His lips touch mine softly, he pulls back and looks at my face. It is then that I notice his eyes are brighter with a soft glow. One beat …and there it is, his mouth on mine. Our worlds melding together, causing my heart to beat loudly and my brain to scream for oxygen. We, the two of us, together, a moment in time, suspending on a lifeline of light. He moves his hands to my hips and pulls me in closer to him. Our thighs are touching, my stomach is incredibly close, my breast pressed against him, my hands in his hair…my heart reminding me I’m alive. Pounding almost drowning out the sound of the light buzzing overhead. Everything is reeling, his thoughts are now my own, together… BAM the overhead light shatters.
The other half of my soul is ripped away from me in an instant. Without notice, Caleb pulls away from me. I stand there, dumbfounded unable to move. Thankfully, Caleb is a professional light wielder and is armed and dangerous with his flashlight. The sun barely setting but the blinds are all pulled to block the summer heat and light. Amber came running in, armed with an industrial sized light.
“Whoa, what happened in here?” Amber asks. “The light exploded?”
I look at both of them sheepishly, knowing that the intensity of our kiss
