She's Not My Type

(14) First Kiss Memories

Three months later 

"Okay well I'm off.." Mira said 

"Okay.." Daria said 

"You going to be okay?" Mira said 

"Yeah. You go enjoy your group date." Daria said 

Steve knocked on the door , Mira opened it. "Hey love.." Steve said as they kissed cheeks then lips. 

"Hey Steve, before you go. Where is James?" She said 

"What do you mean?" Steve said 

"Like I haven't seen him in months and the media has been trying to figure out where he's been." She said 

"I don't know Daria. After the super bowl he checked out on the world. I'm sure he's fine wherever he is. He wanted to take the season off but Sam wouldn't let him. So I'm sure he's just taking some time for himself and wants to be left alone." Steve said 

"You're lying. You have a bad habit of rambling when you lie." Daria said 

"Daria I don't know. If I did I would tell you." Steve said 

"Whatever.." she said as she ushered the couple out the door. 

She shut the door and laid down in her room. An hour past before she tried calling his cellphone and it went straight voicemail. "Where are you Buck?" She whispered as fear sat in that she pushed to far that maybe Dorian was right.

She pulled on her shoes and drove across town to his apartment building. She knocked on his door for fifteen minutes and called. No answer was all she got. On her way home she stopped and got some Mexican food. 

As she was eating on her balcony, she began to think back on her last night in NY when she was 12. She wasn't the only one thinking about that night. Bucky was laying out by the pool area staring up at the stars. 

*flashback*

"Hey Daria you made it." He said 

"I did. Why did you want me to meet you in the clubhouse? We haven't been in here in awhile." She said 

"I know. I just wanted one last night with my best friend. Alone.." he said 

She smiled at him. "I'm gonna miss you Daria. But I think that I figured out a way for us to always remember each other even if you don't move back here." He said 

"How?" She said 

"Just trust me.." he said 

He locked his eyes on hers as he licked his lips. He cupped her cheek and kissed her gently on the lips. He slightly pulled away and smiled at her. 

"You kissed me.." she whispered 

"I did and I want to do it again but with more." He whispered as he leaned back in. 

They began to kiss again as she cupped his cheek. He began to put his tongue in her mouth she followed his lead as they laid back on the small couch. He kept his hand on her cheek as they moaned. 

"Mmm we need to stop." He whispered 

"Did I do something wrong?" She whispered 

"You were perfect doll. It's just I was getting to worked up." He said 

"Oh.." she said 

As they walked back to the house. "I'll miss you but I'll never forget you now Daria. Thank you for being my first kiss." He said 

She smiled at him. "Thank you for being mine. And ditto." She said as he opened the door for her. 

*flashback over*

"What I would give to be able to kiss those lips again." He whispered as he wiped tears. 

"What I would have given for us to be a little older that night." She whispered to herself as she wiped her own tears as the city was lively below her balcony.
