Fading Away (Kohnnie FanFic)

Chapter 8: From a Spark To a Flame

KYLE'S POV

We walked into the water and Johnnie was really quiet, I realized that I was gonna have to be the one to break the ice.

Once we got to a kind of deep spot I stopped in my tracks.
I gave him a small smile. "Hey can you sit on the bottom?"

"Ummm I don't think so.." Johnnie answered nervously

"Ok well how bout we both try."

"Well what do I get if I do it?"

" I thought you said you couldn't."
"Haha I see what you're doing. And fyi I never said I couldn't I said I don't think I could, there's a difference"

"Ahhhhh.."

"How about we treat it like a YouTube challenge, whoever does it wins something and gets to tweet something off the others Twitter?"

"You're on."

He gave a devilish smile and we jumped into the water. I tried two times and just could not get my butt on the sand.

I came up for air and realized Johnnie hadn't come up yet. I immediately got worried. But my worry was eased when I saw a head of jet black hair break through the surface of the water.

"So?" I said hoping that he didn't touch the bottom either.

"Well obviously you didn't touch the bottom cause you were up before me.
Unfortunately for you I did touch the bottom sorry buddy."

"Aww dammit." I pouted

He chuckled. I smiled up at him but his smile disappeared real quick.

"Look Kyle," he started. "I'm sorry for uh kissing you the other night. I-I didn't mean to scare you off and I hope that we can still be friends."

"Johnnie..."
I started trying to find the right words. His head was hung low and it hurt to know that he thought he had made me mad.
"Why are you the one apologizing? I kissed you first, I should be the one apologizing. And I didn't run off because we kissed. I ran out of the room because Alex was standing there and it just put me in a weird position I guess."

"Really? But I thought you liked Christina?"

"Johnnie she moved."

"Ok well what about Meghan??"

I forgot about her. She was really cute too. But its different with her. I do still like her but she can't make me feel like Johnnie does.

"Johnnie you're right. I do still like her. But...she doesn't make me feel like you do. No matter what, when I'm with her you come to my mind. There's no..spark between her and I but I feel like there's a spark between me and you. It's hard to talk about sometimes but it's there. It might just be a feeling but I want it to be true. I hope youbfeel the same because I can't hide it anymore."

I looked at Johnnie and he seemed to be..blushing.
"You know, a lot of people have been saying that it seems like I like Alex. Honestly, I do."

My heart suddenly shattered. There I was pouring it out and I knew the truth all along.

"But.." I lifted my head, where's he going with this? "That feeling that you said you couldn't feel with Meghan is the same feeling I can't feel with Alex. I don't know what we have Kyle but it warms my heart just thinking about it. There really is something I feel when we're together. I think I want-I NEED Kohnnie to be real. Are you sure you want the same thing?"

I smiled probably the biggest smile that has ever crossed my face. "Yes Johnnie. I'm sure."

"So.." Johnnie continued. " I was able to touch the bottom, what's my prize?"

I walked over to him and placed my hand under his chin. His hands hugged my hips and I kissed him. This time it wasn't urgent. It wasn't awkward. No one interrupted. And neither of us pulled away suddenly. We just kissed and when we did break the kiss, it wasn't abrupt. It was slow. Both of our decisions.

I rested my forehead on his and just held the embrace.
This wasn't just friendly. It wasn't us hiding something anymore. It was real, comforting, caring and it meant something we both knew.
Kohnnie was about to become real.
But how were we gonna tell everyone??
