A New Ghoul in School

The Kiss...?

"Oh god help me! He's getting closer to me. What do I do? What is he gonna? Where am I join to put my hands? gasp....where is he gonna put his hands?" The thoughts that were running through Aidrian's head would be considered completely paranoid and silly...if she were actually saying anything out loud. Outside the crazy world that is her imagination, she was sitting on the small bed in the room Holt ha brought he too. Her eyes remained on him at all times as he turned around so he could face her and then smiled. He then walked over, with his hands in his pockets, and sat down next to her. "So um....Did you want to...?" His voice was soft and low as he spoke to her, the situation they were in seriously implying that they would have to share a kiss eventually. They were both thinking about it and sitting there any longer without doing anything would only make it even more awkward than it already was. Aidrian felt chills run down from her neck and arms when Holt leaned closer to her, feeling the warmth his body was emitting. But when his lips got dangerously close to hers, the words flew out of her mouth before she could think twice about it. 

"W-wait..!" She kept her hands on his chest too stop him from coming any closer. But when she saw the look he was giving her, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, childish, lame, and a lot of other words like that. "I can't believe I just did that! Why do I always have to be so stupid!?" "I do soothing wrong, sweetness?" Holt finally spoke up. "Oh no no no no! You didn't do anything at all! I....I'm just....sighs" Aidrian put her face into her hands to hide herself. "Hey, come on, sweetness. You can tell 'ol Holt Hyde what's bothering you. It wasn't my breath was it?" That managed to get a small giggle out of her before she looked up at him* "I'm so lame. " "No you're not. Don't get yourself down like that." "But I am! I couldn't even let you kiss me because I'm t-" She stopped talking while she was ahead of herself. "Because you were what...~?" Holt began to grin to himself as he waited for her to say something else. "Ok ok, I admit it that I'm nervous about this. I mean who wouldn't be nervous about kissing a guy they just met the same day??" "Hmm..Well I definitely see your point there. Can't argue with that at all.....So you don't want to...?" Aidrian sighed to herself, feeling she was about to make a big mistake. "Look, Holt. From what I've seen today, you're a really great guy. But....I just don't think I'm absolutely ready to start making out with you. Know what I mean?" Holt let her words sink in for a bit. He was doing his best not to at least appear disappointed enough to make her feel bad. But that was when he sprouted an idea for his next move in this rather confusing game. 

"Well how about just a little kiss?....for me?" He proposed, hoping she would at least be somewhat curious about it. Aidrian took some time to contemplate this offer, glancing between her hands and his face; That smoldering face. "I umm...Well alright. I don't see any harm in a little kiss. But just a peck, ok?" She touched her cheek to further emphasis her idea of a "little kiss". Holt could do nothing more but grin as he leaned in towards her. Aidrian could feel the warmth from his body again as she kept herself at bay. But right when she was expecting the kiss to happen, she felt a hand caress her chin. Holt turned her head so that they were staring at one another and kissed her full on the lips before she could say anything. Of course, after she snapped out of daze of lust and shock, it didn't take her very long to pull away in protest. "H-holt! Why did you do that?!" She didn't know what to think that moment, and Holt wash't much help at all. He could only grin as he chuckled to himself in guilty pleasure before taking a moment to lick his lips. "Mmm wow. Your lips have a very unique taste to them, sweetness~." All of the confusion, shock, and hints of anger were bubbling up, and yet Aidrian still couldn't shake the giddy feeling she got from his smooth tone of voice. Holt spoke up again "Come on! You can't tell me you didn't at least like it a little bit...? I know that I did very much.....So would you say that you're interested in another one~?" It was silent for a while.

*Only 1 and a half short minutes later*

For a moment, Aidrian didn't even know she was kissing Holt at all. Everything was completely fuzzy until she heard her iCoffin ringing. They pulled away from each other, taking a moment to catch their breath, before she checked her new message. "That's Deuce. I have to leave, Holt." "Awww well it hurts to see you leave. I had a great time, sweetness~" Aidrian didn't have time to think about what he meant by that. All she could do was collect herself and get ready to leave. "I-I had fun too....So will I see you tomorrow..?" "You'd better believe it! Especially after a kiss as sweet as that one was~" She couldn't contain her blush after that. The sentence remained echoing in her head even as she past through the crowd and out the front door. She even remained quiet as Deuce almost got into a fist fight with another jock as they arguing about who should move their car out of the driveway first. "'especially after a kiss as sweet as that one was~'...? What does he mean by that? Is he into me at all or was that kiss just a kiss? Maybe I should stop over thinking it and grab Deuce before he turns that guy into st-..!"  Sadly she had spoke a little bit too soon.

"Deuce!" "My glasses slipped. oops." Aidrian could only stare in shock at the new statue on the front lawn. "sigh. You can't go around turning everyone that makes you mad into stone! We have been over this more than one. Uuuuuuuuugh. Now what do we do?" The sibling shared a brief moment of silence as they both reached their final verdict and only five minutes later, they both parted ways after entering their house. Aidrian simply got herself a bottle of water from the fridge and reviewed her memories of the party. The crowds of ghouls, the dark atmosphere, Draculaura forcing her to put her phone into the bowl and then running off with two werewolves, how stupid she must've looked as Holt pulled her back into the room, and even stupider when he tried to kiss her. Then the actually kiss fluttered into her thought, causing her to blush. Her thoughts were soon taken over completely by Holt Hyde; he was all she could think about, especially after that kiss. "It's ridiculous that I feel this giddy. I've only just met the guy and we shared a kiss induced by a stupid party game. So why can't I stop thinking about it already!?" A text message finally ripped Aidiran out of her mess of a subconscious. But her eyes only widened when she finally focused enough read the message. "Hey there, Sweetness. You at home?" She read it over again at least 5 times as she made her way to her room, not believing who it was. "Holt?! How did he get my number ?....I should probably text him back."

Aidrian sat on her bed and proceeded with typing hr message. "Yes I am at home. Why?" He didn't reply as quick as she thought he would've. All she could do was shrug, lay back on her bed and open up her laptop as if nothing had happened. She had already been so consumed in site on her computer that she almost didn't register the tapping noise on her window. Finally, she glanced up and flinched at the sight of Holt sitting at her window. He grinned and waved before gesturing for her to open up the window.
