You're the one

Chapter 14

"Come on, I have something else to show you." Four says and takes my arm again. I have electricity coursing through my veins instead of blood. I have been feeling this everytime he touches me. He leads to a spot in the chasm. He seems to know this place well. We sit on a relatively flat rock.

"What is it?" I ask as he is been silent for a long time.

"Well, I don't know how to start." He says. "Okay, I know how to start now."

I look at him questioningly.

"Let's play a guessing game. That's how I want you to find out what I'm about to tell you." He says.

"Um...okay." I say.

"I like someone, as in, I like a girl in a romantic way." He says and something in me deflates. Well, thinking about it, why would he want me? He can have anyone he wants. I mean, look at him.

"So you want me to guess who it is?" I ask. He nods and smiles. That smile is enough to ground me where I am right now.

"Let me see...Lauren!" I say. He shakes his head in disgust. Disgust? Why? Oh, well. "How about, Shauna?"

He shakes his head again." She's taken by my best friend, Zeke."

"Oh Zeke! Uriah's brother, right?" I ask. He nods. "We met at the zipline. He was such a nice person with a good sense of humour, you know, just like Uriah."

I see something like jealousy flaring in his eyes. " Can we go on with the game now?" He asks, with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Okay, okay, relax. But please give me a clue, maybe then I'll have a better chance at it." I say.

"The girl is younger than me." He says.

"Okay, Marlene?" I ask.

"Nope." He says.

"How about, um,well, Christina?" I ask hesitantly.

"That Candor smart mouth? No way!" He says. I slap his arm.

"Don't say that about my friend." I growl at him.

"Okay, chill." He says laughing, putting his hands up in surrender. I laugh. I forget that he's my older instructor. It feels as if we are best friends, playing and laughing with each other.

"Okay, I give up. I can't guess anymore. I have no one else in mind." I say.

"Really, no one else?" He asks. I nod.

He moves really close to me that if we were any closer, we would be kissing.

"No..one..else?" He asks with amusement written all over his face and in that low, soothing voice that sends shivers down my spine. I shake my head.

"Are you sure?" He asks. I nod. Then, something really peculiar happens. Before I can think, his lips are on mine. I feel as if my heart is learning gymnastics. My whole body feels as if it's on fire. I close my eyes, kissing back. I can't believe he's kissing me. I can't believe it's my first kiss. We both pull back. Blushing. He looks as if he wants to do it again but feels otherwise. So I bring his lips back to mine. We kiss for a few minutes.

Then, I realise that if he told me about himself, I have to tell him about me. But not now. Maybe tommorow.
