I need to stop saying boob.
She nods and lets out a carefree, sweet chuckle. It’s one of my favourite sounds.
“I like you, Jess. The way you laugh at my awful jokes, and you flash me that adorable dimple on your cheek… God, you’re so cute.” I brush my finger across the place where her dimple is, loving the way she leans into my touch, making my pulse thrash wildly in my throat. “I like the way your nose crinkles when you don’t like something. Your snarky attitude keeps me on my toes, and I like that too. The truth is, I like a lot about you and I’m tired of pretending there isn’t more between us.”
My hands are clammy, but she doesn’t seem to care, holding on to me tightly. I’ve never been so open with a girl before. Hell, I’ve never even been in this close proximity to a girl I like before. It’s a wild ride of hormonal turmoil thinking about girls and how to appear cool around them, but everything about Jess feels… right.
A moment passes between us, her eyes holding mine, looking for an answer she already knows. “For the record…” She moves her palm to rest on my chest, the heat from her hand pulsing through my thin t-shirt.. “I only laugh at your jokes when they’re really funny. Second of all… I do not have a snarky attitude…”
Before she can continue, I pull her closer, my hands drift to cup her soft cheek. I hold her close to my lips, suspending the air between us as her clear blue eyes soften from my touch. Her vanilla scent invades my senses. We’re close enough to kiss and I already know I don’t want this moment to be over. Shifting my weight on my feet, I edge towards the invisible line that stands between us. When I thought of this moment, I assumed I’d be nervous and shaking, but I’m not. I realise I’ve never felt as calm as I do right now with Jessica between my hands, ready to change us forever.
“Let me kiss you, Jessica Scott, please?” She nods her head, air ghosting my lips from her exhale. Our noses touch, softly brushing with one another, charging the air between us. Our breath mixes before our lips finally touch. It’s soft and gentle, exactly how I imagined it would be.
I wrap one arm around the back of her neck and the other around her waist, tethering myself to her. My hands grip onto her, holding on for dear life, saying a silent prayer that this never ends.
Deepening our kiss, I push against her and she responds by timidly dipping her tongue to taste me. Having her here, like this, is easily the best thing to ever happen to me. I can’t imagine ever wanting to be pressed against anyone else because she feels perfect in my arms.
“Liam,” she whispers so breathy and hopeful against my mouth, that it feels like my whole existence shatters in her hands. Our hearts beat as one as our lips collide over and over, filling the need that burns in both of us. She arches into me, letting out a soft whimper that I swallow eagerly. Our lips crash together, hormones raging, until we part, both frantically gasping for air.
Her eyes are closed at first, but when she opens them, I see something new in Jess. Lips pink and plump from our kiss, her eyes sparkling and her cheeks flushed. She looks vulnerable, and it strikes me right in my chest. “So, youlike me,like me?” she hums, letting her fingers intertwine unconsciously with my hoodie strings.
“I guess so,” I reply, shrugging a shoulder, trying to keep a tiny semblance of cool whilst trying not to be distracted by her lips again.
Jess looks down at our hands that have connected again. “How long have you wanted to kiss me?”
I want to say ‘since the moment I met you. Since the day we were introduced when we were ten, and you were the cutest girl I had ever seen’, but instead I say, “A while.”
With wide eyes, her lips part and her tongue dances over them.Does she want me to kiss her again?That tiny semblance of cool I have left disintegrates into dust when she looks at me like that. I lean down towards her, my hand on her exposed skin. All of my nerve endings feel raw as our skin glides against one another. I trace a pattern against her lower back, watching as her lips part and a quiet gasp leaves her mouth, making me hard as steel in my jeans. I stop myself from pushing into her, wanting to memorise the kiss for this moment as our lips touch again.
I let her set the pace because honestly, being a teenage boy and kissing the girl who is a regular in my dreams has my head spinning.
But she does everything I'd hoped, and more. She lifts her hands, raking her fingers through my hair, making me dizzy. Her tongue parts my lips, tasting and exploring my mouth, and I know that no one else will ever taste as good as she does right now. She surprises me by biting my lip, my chest making a guttural sound I’ve never made before, and I pull back, staring at her. “Biting is for boyfriends, Scotty.”
Her eyes flare in devilish delight. “So be my boyfriend, lover boy, so I can bite you.”
I’m pretty sure I’ve died and gone to heaven. I lean back into her, smelling her sweetness, letting my nose run along her jawline as she quivers against me. “You might have won the bet with Nora, but you’re the one who just asked me to be your boyfriend, Scotty, so I think I win.”
Her mouth gapes open and her hands push me backwards so she can see my face. “You made the first move, though.” She pouts, and I can’t help but lean in to take her lip between my teeth this time, enjoying hearing her gasp at my intrusion, the sound sending heat prickling along the back of my neck.
“Not fair,” she grumbles, but doesn’t stop holding me close.
“Fine, I’ll be your boyfriend. You don’t have to beg.”
She barks out laughter. “So charming. Theonlything I’ll ever beg for is…”
“Milkshakes, I know,” I say playfully, rolling my eyes.
She smiles proudly at my response, and at how well I know her. We’ve been friends for years, so of course I know her. I’m hoping she’ll let me continue to get to know more… as her boyfriend.
Jessica
Saturdaycamearoundagainpretty fast. Since Liam kissed me, my whole world has become a little brighter. School is boring when your body is on fire for the person sitting across from you in science. The stress I felt last week from our exams is only a tiny whisper in the back of my mind now, and studying has become far more interesting whenhetalks about the things we have to learn.
Liam has been incredibly sweet all week, holding my hand in between classes and sitting me on his lap during lunch. Nora threatened to puke if we carry on being so adorable.
I promptly flipped her off and kissed Liam’s cheek to prove a point.
And now tonight is our first official date night. He let me pick the film so already we’re off to a great start because I’m bossy, which he already knows, so I don’t have to hide any part of myself. I’m sure he also said something about more kissing, which sounds pretty good to me because we haven’t really kissed since last Saturday. When we cleaned the offices this morning, Nora tagged along so my hopes and dreams for less cleaning and more kissing were squashed but tonight, I get my wish.
