My Ever After

Beautiful Soul

Serena’s P.O.V

And then, He kissed me. Thayer kissed me.

His soft lips seemed to fit perfectly in mine, making my heart flutter uncontrollably. He was so gentle, so cautious. I felt sparks go off inside of me. I was waiting for this moment for the past 2 weeks.  It was only a moment before he pulled away, smiling. Our foreheads were still together. It was magic, the way his lips connected with mine. It was right. He just smiled at me and I couldn’t help but grin.

“What was that?” I asked quietly, hoping not to ruin the moment.

“I’ve always had a thing for you S but you were always with Ethan.” He was looking straight into my eyes.

“Well, now I’m yours to keep.” I smiled.

I kissed his lips. I know I had just told Thayer about my feelings but I felt like I had already fallen for him. After a moment our lips parted.

“What does this mean for us?” I asked

“It can mean whatever you want it to. I want it to mean that you’re finally my girlfriend.” He smiled. Me, Thayer’s girlfriend. I liked the sound of that.

“You have to ask me properly you know.” I joked

He immediately grabbed my hand, holding it in his. “Serena Carter, Will you be my girlfriend?”

“Yes I will, Thayer Campbell.” I replied with a laugh.

He then interlocked his fingers with mine and led me back into the club. When we walked in ‘Danza Kuduro’ was playing. I pulled on his hand, dragging him to the dance floor. We began to dance together, receiving stares from Hayden, Sutton and Emma.

Soon enough the song had changed to ‘Drop it Low’ by Kat De Luna. I just had to drop it low with Emma and Sutton for this.

“5 minutes ago, it seemed like you hated each other. Now I see the love!  What happened outside?” Emma asked curiously.

“He kissed me. I kissed him back. I’m his girlfriend” I grinned unable to control my happiness.

“Oh My God! FINALLY!” She shouted and then hugged me. “I told you this was going to happen!”

I just laughed. She then walked over to Thayer “You finally manned up.” He just laughed.

I don’t know what got into me but I started thinking about how Thayer could hurt me and if he did our whole friendship would go down the drain. I already had trust issues and eventually we’d fight. I just hope that those fights wouldn’t be enough to drive us apart. I actually cared about Thayer. He meant the world to me. I just had to trust that we’d make it through everything. I don’t think I’d be able to bear losing him.

It was now 12PM and it had already been about 2 hours of nonstop dancing in the club.

“You wanna leave? We can go to the beach for an hour?” Thayer said. I was really tired and hence nodded. It took us 15 minutes to reach the beach. I took off my heels and held then in one hand while putting my feet into the cold sand. Thayer interlocked his fingers with mine.

“Thayer?” I said softly.

“Yes, Hun.” He looked down at me as I stared into the distance.

“I’m scared.” I replied.

“About what?”  He asked.

“Suppose I hurt you and our friendship is ruined. I don’t want that. Suppose you hurt me and I stop trusting you. I don’t think I can handle that.” I sad softly trying to control the urge to cry.
