10th grade:
"Y- you're going out with Bailey this Friday night?" I studder out, swallowing down whatever weird feeling is in my throat. It feels so heavy, & I think it's making it hard to breathe.
"Yeah," he replies with a nod of his head, his eyes looking everywhere but mine. I don't understand how after all these years of being friends he can't look me in the eye?
"I- I uh," No words can form in my mouth. The more I try to say something, the harder it is to say anything. The feeling in my throat gets worse, & it starts to feel like it's just shrinking in on itself.
The guy I'm in love with, my closet friend, is going out with my ex best friend who likes making my life a living hell.
"Oh there you are baby!" Speak of the devil, then his whore of a mother shall appear. "I've missed you." Bailey doesn't even look at me, instead she stands on her toes to kiss him on the cheek. Her hand finds it's way to his, & she intertwines their fingers together tightly. "Let's go."
"Uh, bye Lex," he says, shooting me an apologetic look before she looks at me, faking shock.
" Lexi, I like, did not see you there!" Her 'o' shaped mouth turns into a -fake- apologetic smile. "I guess I did smell a recently branded cow." She quickly turns Hunter, & they begin marching away. Of course I notice her turn her head & shoot me a smile.
You know that smile when a creep has just shot their life enemy, & know that they've gotten away with it?
It's really hard to breathe. Tears fill my eyes as I try to get air into my lungs, but it doesn't even seem to come.
"As long as you're happy, that's what matters," I whisper softly, the first tear falling out as I watch his retreating back.
Present time:
A husky moan escapes from deep within my throat, encouraging Hunter further as our lips movie in perfect harmony. Every inch of my body feels heat radiating from the central point- our connected lips. One of my hands cup his cheek, slowly caressing his warm, smooth skin without me even realizing it as his hands rest on my hips.
Unable to help myself, my tongue finally asks for entrance which he instantly obliges to. My other hand tightens it's grasp on his hair, before unwinding itself once again.
This is amazing. I swear, it just keeps getting better & better. Seems strange, seeing as every time I don't think it can possibly get any more amazing. Maybe he practices? No, of course not. He's too cool for that. And besides, how does one go about practicing kissing when their partner isn't there? Exactly.
He pulls his lips away slightly, and I feel his warm breath brush against my face as he smiles cheekily.
"I love you baby," he says, his voice extremely husky. I grin, loving how bright his face is.
"I love you too." His fingers lightly trace over my lips, leaving a tickled feeling.
"You're so beautiful," he says quietly, as if lost in his own thoughts. I smile, before I feel my mood do a 180 on me as thoughts of what happened a few hours ago re-enters my head. I bite my lip & try to push it all out of my head. Bailey's the one who needs fixing, not me, I try reassuring myself. She's so much prettier than myself, but she's also evil. I would hope must guys find that a turnoff. "What are you thinking about?" A voice awakens me from my thoughts, so I blink, startled.
"What ever do you mean?" I ask, playing innocent.
"Don't play that on me, you look like you're thinking hard on something."
"Just thinking about Bailey."
"Why you doing that?" He frowns, his finger fiddling with a strand of my dirty blonde hair. I just shake my head a little, not wanting to bother about that. Bailey was just some fragment of my imagination, I don't need to worry about her. For now, anyways.
"I don't know," I shrug, hoping he doesn't see through me.. I don't need him going off about how beautiful he thinks I am, because honestly, he only says it because he has to. I'm his girlfriend.
'You're easy,' Her voice taunts me in my head.
"Well you shouldn't. She's gone now, she wouldn't even dare come back now." Watch her try.
"Maybe you're right." You're not.
"I know I am," he smiles, brushing some hair from my eyes softly. His skin accidentally touches against mine, making it feel warm & fuzzy.
"Well, as long as you're confident..." I drawl, my lips raising in a playful smirk.
"Mm pretty confident." His eyes go to my lips, so I take that as my sign to start kissing him again. Yum.
------------------
"The guys sure are taking a long time," I say as I lie my head against Hunter's soft yet hard chest. Does that make sense? I'm not sure how it can be both, but it is. Anyways, we've just been lying in my bunk since our heated make out session earlier, which was only on the couch. It isn't that much room on here, so we had to get as close together as we can. I'm sure neither of us really mind.
"Yeah I have no idea what could be taking them so long. Maybe I should call one of them." Just as he says that, I hear the door of the bus open. He stands up & goes over, as I don't feel like struggling with the crutch so I just lie here. The door of the bunk area is left open so I see the guys all pile in, boxes of pizza & liters of soda in nearly every arm.
"Food!" I scream, making all eyes turn toward me.
"Looks like we're just in time," Sam smirks, putting his box of pizza on the counter.
"We all like different pizza so we just had to get em all," Devin explains as he pulls out red solo cups from the cubard.
"So there's cheese?" I ask, hopeful. Everybody nods, making me smile widely. I manage to get myself up in the bed, barely avoiding hitting my foot on something.
"Careful," Hunter warns, walking over to me & helping me out.
"Thanks baby," I smile, pecking him on the cheek. I roll my eyes when I hear some background whistles.
Some boys, I swear.
"Let's give em something to really whistle about," Hunter says in a husky whisper, reaching forward quickly to connect our lips. I blink in surprise before my eyes shut & respond, just as passionate as his. If I could even bother to hear, I'm sure the guys would be going crazy right now.
I'll be glad to skip pizza if I can just stay here & do this, please. I've always been fine with just skipping to dessert.
*Sorry for the wait, I know I've been slacking :/ it's horrible, I know! But I hope this little filler is something at least. Hope everybody's good out there! I've got myself an instagram now fyi- epichearts22 if y'all wanna follow, I'll follow back :D*
