My Journal of Letters

Chapter-6

It was the end of the day I waited for Vic at the front like he said to. Oh shit I forgot to tell my mom. I quickly pulled out me phone and began to text her.

Me: Hey ma just wanted to let you know I'll be home later I'm going to a friends.

I closed it and regretted it when I felt it go off.

Mom: Okay baby I'm off tonight and this weekend so we can rent a movie. Mark is coming over for dinner tomorrow just FYI. Love you have fun and maybe invite your new friend over too

She sent back. I sent her a smiley face and a "maybe" before closing my phone.

"Hey sorry I'm running late teacher kept me back to ask me something." Vic said as he came up to me. I stood up and smiled shyly at him. "Cha-mon Lee'." He said while walking out the doors.

The ride to his house was pretty short and quiet. For someone like Vic I would have thought that there would be talking but nope.

"You got a nice house." I said as we walked in to the front doors.

"Thanks. It's really big and spacey... It's home." He said breathing in.

"Vic? You home?" I heard a lady call from an other room.

"Yea Ma I brought a friend." Vic called back. I'm a matter of seconds a little lady about the same height as Vic appeared from around the corner. "Kellin this is my mom, mom this is Kellin." He introduced us and I gave a small smile and waved.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Fuen-"

"Oh none of that proper stuff call me Vivie." She said giving me a hug. Vic seemed to sense my discomfort so he pried his mom off of me.

"Okay mother let the boy breathe." Once he got me out of her tight grip he grabbed my hand and pulled up the stairs to his room. "And this is where the magic happens." He said holding his arms out to exaggerate his point.

"What magic?" I asked before making any move to sit down... Like any where... If you know what I mean... Vic caught what I meant and started laughing hysterically.

"NOT THAT KIND OF MAGIC!" He went to his closet and walked in it only to come back out with a guitar. "I meant music." Oooohh..... He sat on his bed and started playing a quick muted strumming.

"Don't react when I tell you...
And don't react when I tell you...
That bright lights mean nothing to you
'Cause no one would know the sound of a ghost
And I might be something to you
Beyond beautiful is the sound of a ghost"

"Wow..." I smiled.

"Yea it's not done but..." he shrugged and looked at me. "Come here." He said and picked up the guitar again. I looked at him confused but made my way to the bed and sat at the corner. Vic maneuvered his way around me so he was now sitting behind me.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he put the instrument on my lap.

"I'm gonna teach you to play a few simple chords." He smiled. Over an hour was spent on him trying to teach me how to play the guitar but it was hopeless.

"No you put your- No, Kell- Oh Jesús." I laughed as he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Just face it Vic it's hopeless." I felt him pick up his head.

"No! I will teach you even if its the last thing I do." He said. I rolled my eyes as he told me what to do and after another ten minutes I finally learned two chords. "There! Now you have it." He said from behind me.

I smiled and turned my head to look at him and noticed how close we really were. He looked at me with his big brown eyes and I couldn't help but bite the inside of my lip. He smiled and rested his forehead against mine and looked quickly at my lips before back into my eyes causing my breathing to hitch.

"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now." He whispered.

"Why don't you do it then?" I breathed. He smiled and began to move closer. I gulped as our lips came closer together.

"Vic, mom said it's- shit sorry man!" In an instant Vic and I pulled away and I tried to regulate my breathing again.

"What happened Mike?" Vic asked casually.

"Uh... Ma said to come and get you guys 'cause she need you to set the table because dinner is almost ready." He said a little awkwardly.

"We'll be down in a bit." Vic said getting up to put the guitar away. Mike nodded and left without another word. I sat on the bed just thinking what the hell just happened. Was he really about to kiss me. My heart beat was still at its highest when he looked at me and smiled. "Come on let's go before she sends a search party."
