Tangled Tracks on Side B

Chapter 7

A.N. Double update to not leave anybody hanging, let me know what you think!
Hopefully it doesn't flop for being posted too soon 😬

I took one more look at the empty hallway and cautiously pushed the door open.

"Seven minutes," Sadie pulled me in and locked the door behind me.

I didn't even have a chance to see the room before her arms were over my shoulders and my back against the door.

I briefly looked at her face, her eyes were closed and she was leaning in.

My stomach filled with butterflies and I let her kiss me.

I could've gotten used to that.

I kissed her back and welcomed the closeness, I hadn't realized how strong my wish to hold her was until she was right there against me.

Her arms on my shoulders hung lazily over my back until one of her hands found the back of my head, it all felt hazy as if I was in a dream.

I tentatively grabbed her waist and she stepped impossibly closer against me.

Definitely much better than with the armrest between us.

I could hear the noise of something vibrating and she sighed before dipping her tongue playfully between my lips one more time. I stole a last peck on her lips the moment I felt her withdrawing.

She pulled out the phone from her back pocket and turned off the quiet alarm, one of her arms still around my neck.

"Two minutes before the bell rings," She explained, "I'm sorry, I meant for us to do more talking."

I shook my head, "I'm good, but thanks for your concern."

She laughed and looked at my face for a second before reaching into her backpack and handing me a makeup wipe.

"Help me out, I'll do you next," She instructed pointing at her mouth.

Her lipstick was smudged, but not too messily, I quickly wiped around her lips and handed her the wipe before pulling the lipstick out of my own backpack and offering it to her.

She cleaned my mouth and only applied the smallest amount of makeup back on her lips.

"Good as new," She said.

I looked at her, she was so pretty. I realized I was frustrated at not being able to look at her however much I wanted to if anyone else was around, I felt like I had to take advantage and just stare until I had a printed picture of her in my brain.

"Oh, wait, I have your cassette," I realized as the bell rang.

I grabbed it from my backpack and passed it to her.

"Thank you so much for doing this for me," She said.

I nodded.

It was time to go.

Sadie unlocked the door and pulled it open just a little bit to peek out.

"Nobody's around," She informed me.

"Just one more moment," I pulled her back in and pushed the door shut with my foot.

I put both hands on her face and gave her the lightest kiss on the lips, conscious of the freshly applied makeup.

She smiled and put her hands over mine.

"You look good, but skip the lipstick next time," I requested in a whisper making her laugh.

We were both late for our next class, but not enough to get in trouble, and it almost played out in our favor since nobody was in the hallways to see us sneak around.
