When We Touch

Kayla

I hear Seth whistle in awe when we reach the mansions. I glance and see Cal's jaw drop.

"Welcome...to Cal's future husbands house."

I say with a dramatic flourish of my hands. I could see the red creep up on his face as he tell's me to shut up. I laugh and take both of their hands. Cal squeezes mine and Seth entwines our fingers.
He brings my fingers to his lips and grins when I look away.
Cal glances our way.

"You guys...something your not telling me?"

Honestly I don't know what Seth meant by that.
Was it sibling love...or was it something else? He's always treated me like a little sister but...things change.
I can't trust my feelings for Seth because-well-my feelings are all over the place. As they always are. I might like a guy for a long time and then one day...poof. Gone like the wind. I look at Seth.

"I-"

"Hey. Kayla!"

Dan is making his way towards us, his friend not too far behind.
I don't fail to notice how Seth let's go of my hand.
I wave, his blue/green eyes gazing intently into mine.
"You coming inside? I'll walk with you guys."

His eyes flick over my legs.

"Yeah, but, uh you can go ahead."

He nods and winks before he leaves.

"I'll be waiting."

I feel my heart twists at his gesture.
I sneak a look Seth and hear him mutter:
"Pervert."
Under his breath.
His face is set in stone.

I grimace and look at Cal for help.
He shrugs and just squeezes my hand again.
It's going to be okay.
Is what it seems like he meant.
I'm not sure what to do. I want to take his hand again but something's stopping me.
The three of us stand there in silence.

"Let's go in before Dan comes back for you, shall we?"

You.

"Yeah..."

Cal groans.

"Oh come on guys, lighten up, for me? I'm at Will's house. WILL. ERICS. ohhhhh crap. I can't do this. "

Seth cracks a smirk and I smile with relief.
He puts a hand on Cal's back and says.

"Don't worry bro, we got your back. Well I do. I'm not sure Kayal's going to be paying attention, with Dan snogging her in the closet and all that. "

I turn to him aghast and punch him in the arm.

"Seth!"

But he smirks and let's his arm drape across my shoulders. Better.

"Oh my god your here!"
Will ushers us inside and faces us.
Music blares in the background.
He takes my hand and gives it a kiss.

"Milady."
I giggle and snatch my hand away, and than give him a hug.

"Glad to be here."

He smiles warmly and hugs back than locks hands with Seth.

"My man."

They smile and man hug. Like when they clasp hands and bring their chest together. I love it when guys to that. Just something about it.
Will faces Cal.
His face has a faint blush.
By the look on his face I can tell Will thinks something's up. Instead of clasping hands he lightly takes his hand and plants a kiss on his knuckles.
I watch on agony as Cal's face flushes.
Ohh no.

His lips still touching skin he says,
"You don't happen to be...by any chance...gay...do you ?"
I see Cal's Adam's apple bob slightly.
He glances at his hand. Will brings his lips away and starts to trace circles on his palm.
I feel Seth's warm breath in my ear.

"Should we-"

Cal leans forward and presses his lips onto Will's.

A high pitched scream escapes my closed mouth. I grip Seth's arm and pull him close.
I am mesmerized from the moving mouths in front of me. They suck and pull in unison. Will places a steady hand on Cal's back.
Cal's lips suck on his as they separate. Just as fast as they collided they had parted.

"Of course not. Why, what makes you think that?"

I stare with an open jaw as Cal pulls me along with Seth. Will and I lock eyes.
He smiles as his eyes linger to Cal's back. I mouth the words

I ship it.

As we round a corner to an empty room.
