Nothing [K.O.]

Chapter 5

I'm frozen in shock, I didn't expect to see Kevin and especially not when Gabriel was about to kiss me!

"Watch out bro..." I hear Gabriel tell Kevin.

I turn to look at Kevin's expression and he doesn't look happy, not one bit. I see Gabriel walk away and for a few second I think he is leaving me but I see him reach for a wet towel and my body relaxes.

"Here your dress got a bit wet." He tells me and offers me the towel.

I grab it and look down at my dress. I gasp at the sight I'm seeing. It's not a bit wet it's extremely wet! My surprise turns into anger as I try to clean my dress as much as I can. I soon realize that it's no use so I just give up.

"Can I speak to you outside." I hear Kevin request. I thought he had left but I guess not.

"About what?" I snap at him.

He rolls his eyes and grabs my arm. "I'll be back." I tell Gabriel.

Kevin guides me towards the door that leads to the backyard and to my surprise it's empty. He doesn't stop walking until we are in the quiet away from the noise of the loud music from inside.

"What was that about?" He snaps at me.

Oh I know he did not just give me attitude. I give him an annoyed expression and say "What are you talking about?"

"You were about to kiss him." he scowls at me.

"And... What do you care." I say back at him.

He pinches the brink of his nose and sighs.

"You're right what do I care. After all you guys are dating." he tells me.

I laugh at his comment and tell him "We're NOT dating. Why would you even think that?" I ask him while I still laugh at his assumption.

"I always see you guys together, I see the way you guys look at each other." He says with a serious face.

"Well we're not." I reply while I think about when he could possibly see us together. I don't remember seeing Kevin in school before so that's strange.

"Well do you have a boyfriend?" He asks.

My face goes red and I immediately look down. Why would he ask me that! "I think it's pretty obvious that I don't." I tell him.

"What do you mean?" He asks me a bit baffled by my response.

"Well I mean look at me why would anybody want to be with me." I sadly tell him.

It's the truth, I've always been insecure about my body. I've never been content with the who I am. Since guys only look at physique now-a-days it's even more difficult for me to find a guy that truly likes me. Everybody tell me that I'm not fat, that I'm the perfect size but I was always bullied as a small kid so I'll never think of myself as pretty.

"I would date you." He tells me in a serious voice.

I look up and our eyes meet. The butterflies in my stomach won't stop fluttering .

"Why?" My question almost comes out as a whisper.

"Because you're beautiful and smart. I don't know you very much and I would like it if that changed. I'd like to meet the real you." He asks me.

Is he asking me out on a date?

"Why?" I ask again.

He laughs at my response and I look down thinking that he's laughing at me. He puts his fingers on my chin and tilts my head up.

"I hope you don't think I'm laughing at you." He tells me while stepping closer to me.

Our faces are inches away and I'm so nervous for what's about to happen. Right when he is about to kiss me I pull away.

"Do you not want to kiss me?" He asks.

Of course I do!

"It's not that... it's just that..." I try to come up with the right words. "I've never had my first kiss." I tell him while looking down to the grass.

"I can help you with that." He tells my while putting his fingers on my chin and tilting my head up again.

"It's just that you're probably so experienced with this and I don't wa..." I am cut off by Kevin's lips meeting mine.

He puts his right hand behind my head and the other hand at my waist. I'm surprised by his actions but as I get the rhythm of his lips I move my hands up to his hair. His tongue grazes my lips and ask for entrance. I slightly open my mouth letting him in and he keeps the kiss slow and steady.

His breathe smells like alcohol but I can still taste a little bit of his mint toothpaste. I tug on his hair and I hear what I think is a moan. He moves both his hands to my hips and he digs his hips into mine. The kiss is so sweet and gentle that I never want it to end.

Kevin pulls away slowly and I am thankful because I was out of breathe. I move my hands to his chest and stare at him panting from our sweet exchange.

"I hope you don't mind me stealing your first kiss?" He asks me.

I laugh a little a bite my lip while shaking my head no.

"I think we should go back inside." I tell him.

He shakes his head and he grabs my hand intertwining our fingers while leading me back inside.
