Halfway Home - A Chaelisa Story

Giddy

Have you ever felt like exploding? Not like, literally but like as if you've been filled with the warmest feelings. As if life finally made sense, as if you've got that thing you couldn't pin point was missing from your life. Something you've been dreaming about for some time now but didn't dare take the risk because it was too much. The risk was just too much, there was so much to lose. Someone too important to lose if everything went to shit.

That's what I'm feeling now. And I can't even think rationally. It's like I've been holding my breath because something might break if I breathe too deeply. I'm finally able to do so freely because Rosie is in my arms and her lips, oh her lips, are the softest lips I've ever kissed. I feel like crying but I can't, so I just breathe her in and hold her cheek as softly as I can. Never wanting to let go.

She tilts her head and takes my upper lip between hers as her hands hold onto my shirt for dear life and all I can do is whimper into her mouth. Threading my fingers through her soft hair I bring her head impossibly closer.

"Oh, shit..." I hear someone say behind us and I unwillingly break our kiss, but didn't let my hand let go of her face just yet. I don't want to turn around because that would mean I'd have to stop watching Rosie's beautiful eyes as she slowly blinks them open.

I hope you don't reget this. I hope you don't hate me.

"Rosie, I-" I start saying but she shuts me up with a quick peck and I- what just happened?

"You're free to give me as many hugs as you want if you promise to kiss me as many times as I want" she says with a smile. I laugh as I pull her into me, she rests her head on the crook of my neck.

"Don't you know that's all I ever wanted?" I breathe out.

"That makes the two of us then" Rosie replies against my skin and I can't believe her words.

I laugh "I can't believe I just said that out loud. I promise I was just thinking about it but my damn mouth catches up too quickly to my brain, gosh"

Rosie laughs and I can feel her body shaking so I just sway us both and hug her tighter.

With a final tug of my shirt, Rosie lets go of me and shyly looks around, letting her head fall. Her hair falls into her face and before I can't prevent myself I put a few strands behind her left ear, she quickly takes my hand before it leaves her face and turns her cheek into it. Turning her head slightly, kissing my palm.

"Wanna get out of here?" She says "Yeah, sure. We can go to my place?" She gets up and starts walking to the front yard of the frat house, I follow. I'd follow her everywhere.

I run up to her and take her hand in mine. Interwining our fingers, she squeezes my hand once.

"We should probably text Jennie and Soo. I don't want Jennie waking me up at 5 am, drunk, yelling into the phone asking where I am" Rosie says with a laugh.

"Who said you'd be spending the night at mine's? I'm not that easy" I say with a serious tone and she stops walking "I- of course not! I thought, maybe we could have a sleep over, watch a movie and just- I ..." I laugh and hug her from the side.

"That actually sounds like a good plan. I just wanted to get out of here to kiss you without being interrupted by drunk people" I say and kiss her head.

She pushes me over playfully laughing "You- I hate you sometimes! I thought for a second I'd messed up or something..."

"Never, Rosie. But maybe we can pretend to watch a movie"

She takes my hand again "That sounds like a better plan"
