My heart dropped and I couldn't feel my heartbeat anymore. My mouth went dry and I let out a shaky breath. Is this guy really capable of doing that? I didn't know what to think at that point.

I looked over at Calum and he was looking out the windshield. His eyes washed with sadness and he gripped onto the armrest so hard his knuckles turned white.

He looked at me and we stared at each other for a minute, our eyes flicking back and forth to our lips. He slowly leaned in, I followed his actions. Our lips collided and the kiss was very gentle and passionate. It felt like a billion fireworks blew up inside of me and I felt him smiling. His tongue slid over my bottom lip and I allowed him access. It felt like this is what I should have been doing from the moment I met him, everything about this felt right. My hands went to the back of his head and I gently pulled on his hair. He groaned and brought his hand to my face. I heard a huge thunder roar and pulled away from Calum instantly and gasped really loud. He chuckled at me and brought my forehead to his. We were breathing hard and taking in everything that just happened.

Our hands were interlocked and our lips were swollen and pink.

"The girls are probably waiting on me." I whispered.

He fake pouted and I giggled at his childish ways.

"Okay." he responded while squeezing my hands lightly, reassuring that it was alright.

He exited my car and into the rain again. I watched him as he ran onto is porch and into his house. I sat in my car and brought my fingers up to my lips.

"Holy shit." I said to myself. I started up my car and probably almost got a speeding ticket on the way home.

-

I entered the house and it was quiet, which is odd. It never was quiet at home, unless the girls were gone, but their cars were here.

"Hello?" I shouted, "Is anybody home?"

I heard somebody coming down the stairs and I gulped really hard.

"Don't worry." Serenity laughed and put her hands up in defense, "It's just me." She said, obviously sensing I was scared.

I sighed in relief, "Hey," I said breathlessly. Serenity raised an eyebrow and started walking down the stairs slowly. She stopped once she reached the bottom step and crossed her arms over her chest. She stared at me intensely and leaned my head back and stared at her like she was mental.

"Lina," she said sternly, "You kissed Calum!" she exclaimed and started cheering.

I gasped dramatically, "How did you know?" I said in a hushed tone. Looking around trying to see if anyone else was home.

"It's so obvious." She started giggling again. "Don't worry, nobody else is home."

My face got red, and put my hands on Serenity's shoulders, trying to calm her down.

"Hey, shh, shhh- Serenity, I need you to listen to me. You cannot tell anyone. Under any circumstances, this stays between you and I , only." I told her in a very serious tone.

Serenity had on a very interesting face as she tried to hold back her smile and laugh, but she snorted and busted back into her laughter fit.

I groaned and stomped off into the kitchen, Serenity then noticed that I was serious and came after me.

She placed her hand on my shoulder and spun me around, "Hey," she said sincerely with a pout, "I'll keep your secret, but you have to tell me how this happened."
