Chapter 35

“What are we playing here?” I ask to the group as I sit next to Melanie who is talking to Jane.

“Truth or dare.” Jay replies with his eyes to the bottle.

I shift my eyes to a guy that walks into the room to join the round. Nathan. He looks at me, smirking. I shoot a glare to him then roll my eyes then shift them to the bottle. 

“Here we go.” Jay says as he spins the bottle. The first one that gets the turn is Wayne, then Hailey—the girl that hooked up with most of the guys.

They always have dares that are to do shots, to do sexual things and do things that are nearly impossible. The last time I got the turn, I had to do 10 roll forwards and backwards which pretty hurt my hands for quite a while.

“Lenny,” Miles calls her out. My mind is suddenly all becomes blurry and I look over to the bottle, points out to Melanie. I shift my eyes to her face, she’s a lot paler than the last time I looked at her.

“Truth or dare?” Jay asks. “Quick.” He claps his hands once.

“Truth.” She answers.

“Why not do a dare?” Miles challenges Melanie.

“Fine, dare.” She answers.

Fuck.

“Pick a guy you would like to stick your tongue in a throat with.” Miles smirks. “Including your boyfriend. Well, if it’s even real.” Miles laughs as the others join. I jokingly pick up my middle finger at him then he gets amused by my gesture.

She looks already like a dead person.

“Kiss me, it’s okay.” I whisper then look over to her, nodding. “You can do this.” I smile.

She nods as she makes a fake smile during her concerned eyes. Her eyes—those terrifying eyes. It used to be the beautiful eyes I would enjoy seeing. She suddenly looks at me in the eyes, “Sorry.” She whispers, barely audible to hear as she quickly leans her body to me and sits on my crossed lap and in a brief moment, she pushes her lips against mine. I can feel her chest. Her tongue slides to tease mine and I almost jump by how soon it is but instead, I push my tongue also making them dance against hers.

It happens so fast and we are now making out in public without bothering to notice them. Her heart beats rapidly as she closes every gaps we have. She wraps her arms around my neck. I couldn’t think, but to feel. Everything she does now, is totally out of my leak. I can really hear her heart beating over and over, singing to me. My adrenaline rushes more than it should be. I can't express it out. Her hands are up to hold my head. Her left hand strokes my cheek as my arms wrap around her waist. She leaves a soft—low tune moan during our meaningful make out scene.

Our first kiss.

She suddenly opens the gap between our lips then looks right into my eyes. She quickly turns her body around to sit on the ground. I can’t stop thinking about it. I keep on looking at her. She looks over to the guys that are leaving remarks for us.

“Sexy kiss, Niall.” Hailey remarks.

“Lenny is the one that kisses him, she’s the sexy kisser.” Wayne says with the damned bottle in his hand, getting steady to spin it again.

“Shut up, guys. Please.” I say as I shake my head then lay my back on the couch. I scan for Nathan, he’s nowhere around. Then I look at Melanie, who is still faking a smile to the tacky remarks. She won’t even take a look at me.

“Okay, let’s spin the bottle.” Wayne says as he quickly spins the bottle and the mouth lands on Kean. They all start to laugh and do things and stuff. But I don’t really care. I can’t stay focus. The kiss. Was—probably the most alive kiss I’ve ever tasted.

“I’ll be back,” Melanie suddenly ruins my thoughts by nudging her elbow to my arm.

“Where are you going?” Jane asks her for me.

“Grab a drink.” She smiles then she walks away. She always uses that excuse to go, I know it. I groan as I stand on my feet then follow her. I can't find her anywhere, but the front door opens. She must have opened it. I walk over to the front door and look around outside but I can’t find her.

“Hey.” Melanie’s low voice comes up behind me then she pats my back. “I was looking around for the front door, then I saw you here standing by the door.” She chuckles.

“Let’s get out of here.” I smile at her then wrap my arm around her back, leading outside. We get in the car, and I drive her back to her house. The rest of the drive is quite. We don’t talk to each other. I want to pick up a conversation, but it seems to be a lot harder than I think. I have so many things that I would ask her, but, it won’t come out. I look over to her. She lays her head on the window. She stares blankly at the road. What is she thinking right now? I want to know her thoughts about the kiss.
