I Don't Know If I Should Stay Away [Teen Romance]

Chapter 11

We were all sitting at the dinner table in a complete silence. Kyle was to my left and Kevin was to my right, then Katherine was across from me, and Kylee was across Kyle. And at the end of the table was Noah (Kyle's dad) and at the other end was Sara. Kyle's dad cleared his throat causing all of us to look up at him. He looked directly at me and said "So Alice, how old are you?" I looked at Kyle then back at him "Umm I'm 17 sir." He chuckled a bit then said "Call me Noah, I don't like to feel old." I laughed a little and nodded my head. He only smiled then said "How did you and Kyle meet?" When he asked this, Kyle stepped in and answered his dad. "We met in school. She was new and we had some classes together, so we just started talking." His dad nodded his head "And how did you guys end up together?" I gave his dad a weird look and Kyle groaned "Please don't ask us that, it's awkward and weird." His dad just laughed and didn't say anything after that. When it got quiet again, his mom decided to speak "So, tell us about you Alice." I put down the glass that I had just taken a drink of. "What is it that you would like to know?" his mom smiled at me and asked "Tell us about your family. Tell us about you. Do you have any siblings?" I shook my head "No, I don't have any siblings. My mom is a psychiatrist, and my dad is a CEO of a company that just recently moved out here, so we had to leave my hometown and come live here." She smiled warmly at me and continued with the conversation. "How do you like it up here? Is it better that you expected?" I looked up at Kyle and blushed "Yea, yea it is, it's better than I expected." Kyle's mom just laughed lowly and then continued eating.

After dinner was over, everybody went their separate ways. Kylee and Katherine went upstairs to their rooms, Mr. Noah went to his office, and Kyle's mom went to the store and had took Kevin with her, leaving Kyle and I alone in the living room. We were sitting on the couch, and Kyle's hand was draped over my shoulder as I leaned into his chest. He put his hand on my cheek to make me look at him. He tilted my head up and kissed me. When I felt his lips on mine, I instantly kissed back as I fixed myself to have a better angle. He pulled me closer to him and I leaned in to him, to be closer, if that was even possible. He nipped at my bottom lip and I sucked in a breath of air from the surprise. We heard a throat being cleared and both Kyle and I jumped away from each other. Katherine stood at the bottom of the stairs with a blank look on her face. "I don't have a problem with you guys doing that stuff, but if you guys could, oh I don't know, keep it to a limit in a place where people walk by; that would be greatly appreciated." Then she walked away. When she left the living room, I hid my face in Kyle's face as he laughed. "It's not funny Kyle, oh my god I feel bad now." That only made him laugh louder and I slapped his chest. "Stop laughing at me!" he calmed down after a while and looked at me then said "There isn't anything to be ashamed of babe, it's normal for couples to do this." I only shook my head and kept it in his chest. He stood up and grabbed my hand, and pulled me up. We headed to the stairs and up to his room. When we got to his bedroom door, he turned around to face me and said "I'm sorry for the mess." Then he pushed the door open.

When we walked into Kyle's room, I was surprised to see it clean. He looked surprised as well and looked at me with a confused face. "I could have sworn it was dirty this morning." I rolled my eyes and said "Maybe your mom cleaned it for you." he only smiled at me and said "Babe, she wouldn't come in here to clean my room. She never comes in here." I looked at him weirdly and then asked "why?" he pulled me towards the bed while explaining to me. "She knows that it's always dirty so she doesn't ever bother." He answered quickly. He sat at the foot of his bed and pulled me in between his legs. He looked up at me and said "You told your mom you were going to stay right?" I put a hand on his check and told him "Yea, I let her know I would be staying. Did you ask your mom if I could stay?" he nodded his head and said a mumbled yea. He turned his head to look at the clock and then back at me "Well, its 8:30, do you want to watch a movie and then go to bed?" "Yea, that would be nice." I said to him "Do you have stuff to wear for when we go to bed, or do you want me to find you something?" I just shook my head and said "No, I don't have anything to wear, I heard you outside and I rushed out and I forgot my back on my bed." I admitted shyly. He chuckled and said "Well, I can go ask the girls if they have something for you, or you can just borrow one of my shirts?" I blushed even more, and told him "Whatever is easier on you Kyle." He nodded his head and went to one of his drawers and pulled out a shirt and handed it to me. "The bathroom is across the hall, you can go change there, or you can change in the closet which ever you would rather." I thanked him and started making my way to the bathroom across the hall.

When I came back from the bathroom, I saw that Kyle had changed into some sweatpants, and a ripped t-shirt. He was laying down on his bed and when he saw me he padded the spot next to him, motioning me to get into bed with him. I just laughed and shook my head as I made my way to the bed. When I climbed into bed I instantly cuddled against Kyle, trying to find his warmth in the cold air. He wrapped his hands around my waist as we laid facing each other. I turned to the T.V and I saw that the previews of the movie were going on. I looked back at Kyle, only to find him staring at me. I had kept the eye contact with him, then he started leaning in closer. When I saw that he was leaning in, without noticing I began to move in as well. Our lips touched and it was like the first time we had kissed. It felt so magical. It wasn't like it's described in the books or the movies, like there wasn't any fireworks setting of or anything. It was just us, it felt like if the whole world had disappeared and it was just me and Kyle and it felt like if everything was okay. I felt his tongue swipe the bottom of my lip, and then I felt him take my bottom lip in-between his teeth and nibble on it. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my mouth and I pulled away turning my head away from his. He only laughed at me and turned my head so I could look at him again, and he leaned down to kiss me again. He pulled me closer to him and I panicked and pushed him off. He looked kind of taken back by my sudden action, then realization was evident on his face and he just stared at me. "I wasn't going to take it further then kissing Alice, I know it's too early in our relationship to even think of that. I would never make you do something that you don't feel comfortable doing, and if I made you feel uncomfortable just now, I'm really sorry." I just stared at him and told him "It's not that I was uncomfortable Kyle, it's just that, well, you are my first boyfriend and I just panicked." He gave me a small smile and told me in a hushed whisper "Come here." I made my way back into his arms and laid my head on his chest and faced the T.V.

That night, that is how Kyle and I fell asleep, with my head on his chest and I secured safely in his arms. Nothing could be better than this.
