little lady (halsey)

t h r e e ~ kiss but no touch

"what the hell!" caleb yelled at his computer, poking the buttons on his console frustratingly.

"man, you just suck at this game!" aaron replied as he scored just another goal in fifa.

"what! you can't- i wasn't looking!" caleb defended himself.

"yeah yeah, i bet you were looking at faye."

"huh?" i mumbled, i had been quiet this whole time reading a book while the two boys played. but as fast as i heard my name i reacted.

"what?! ew no, that's gross man. just," caleb shivered, "no."

aaron bursted out laughing and i just sat there dumbfounded, not having a clue about what they were talking about.

"what are you guys talking about?" i smiled, trying to keep a grin from spreading on my lips. they just looked to suspicious, i couldn't help but smile.

aaron stood up and put his console down, walking past me and poked my nose he said: "nothing  faye." and winked.

i blushed but laughed it away, i knew he was just playing with me. he often did those stuff. aaron disappeared into the kitchen and i looked at caleb who wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"what?" i said quietly.

caleb sighed and rolled his eyes, "go."

i thought he was acting weird but he wouldn't budge so i hurried up from my seat and stalked into calebs' kitchen. i found aaron standing by the sink drinking some water, and i suddenly forgot that i could speak.

he smiled at me and i walked past him, giving a smile back. i opened the pantry to see if caleb had any cookies although i was pretty sure there weren't any, his mom was pretty strict about those kinds of stuff. so when i closed the door i found aaron leaning against the counter, a grin plastered on his lips.

"what?" i croaked, my voice shaking of nervousness.

"what you looking for?"

"nothing, why are you grinning like that?" i shook my head, he often acted weird around me but this was extreme, he never used to smile like this to me and stand so close.

"cause i, i like looking at you..." he trailed of and his look fell to the floor.

i blushed furiously. could this really be true, did aaron just compliment me or was it all made up? was caleb behind all of this?

i didn't really know what to say so i let out a weird sound, like a laugh and a sigh. aaron looked up at me with his cheeks all red, suddenly he stepped closer.

"what are you doing?" i asked quietly, i wondered if caleb was standing on the other side of the wall, trying to hide his laughter.

my stomach knotted itself as he came even closer, only an inch between us. "i kind of, wanna kiss you."

my eyes widened and my cheeks heated even more, i had never kissed someone before. or, well, halsey- no one else. so i guess he took my silence as a sign that i wanted too. and it wasn't like i didn't want to, because he was aaron. i've had a crush on him for months and now that he actually wanted to kiss me it just felt so surreal. like it was all a joke.

but it wasn't.

i felt his hands, and they were strong but slim. they held my waist and they squeezed, warm and sweaty. and so i felt his lips, for the first time, he had me. i was swooned with every breath but it felt so different. his lips weren't soft, he didn't taste like sugar, he tasted like, nothing. but i kissed him back, it didn't feel wrong. not at all, actually it felt pretty good. but the spark, the taste, his touch, it was nothing compared to... to hers?
