Away From Us

Chapter 18: Thats How It Feels?

Different.

I stared at myself in the rear mirror of my car, which I had ran to after Elliot kissing me. I looked, different. My lips were red and my cheeks as well. My eyes sparkled intensely like they never did before. My breathing was uneven. My heart beats were jumping hastily. And I looked, alive.

That's how your first kiss feels?

I rested my head on the steering wheel, closing my eyes. My fingers unconsciously went to my lower lip feeling it. Remembering how it felt.

"I'll be back, cupcake."

That was the only thing he had said to me after kissing me and then rushing away.

Ugh.

I really was confused, by everything. Elliot just showed up and stole my first kiss-not that I'm unhappy about that-, and then walked away.

Where was he? Where is he going? I had no idea.

A tiny part of me was pissed off though. This cannot just happen without being discussed or talked about. I couldn't go into the school building flushed and distracted like that. I needed to find Elliot and talk to him. Sort things out.

And kiss him.

No, sort things out Myrna.

I tapped my head three times on the wheel letting out a groan.

You can't just forget that he left you in the middle of the night alone with no ride home and disappeared for weeks without calling or checking up on you, and now he kisses you.

I let out a frustrated sigh. My bipolar self taking all of the beauty of the kiss I just had into stuff that were driving me insane.

Damn, those full pair of lips.

I face-palmed myself. "What the hell is happening to me?" I muttered to myself shaking my head. "This is way too much."

There were three knocks on the window my car and I let out the loudest shriek of fear ever hear on this planet. Looking to my side, I realized it was Aria looking at me suspiciously. Her eyes roaming my features and a look of doubt filled them.

Well, shit.

She urged me to get out of the car and I obliged slowly. When I got out she eyed me up and down, making me feel super uncomfortable.

"Myrn-"

"We kissed."

WHAT THE FUCK MYRNA.

I slapped my hand on my mouth covering it.

"What?"

"Ummm, I mean that the sun kissed the moon and the sky is blue, hummm green grass and-"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"I.." I trailed off not knowing exactly how to explain my sudden outburst. Aria won't let this go we all already know that. But how the hell am I going to tell my cousin how I just had my first kiss when I, myself still wasn't comprehending what had happened.

Never have I ever, had my mind blown away like this. Ever.

She raised her eyebrow at me waiting for me to continue. I sighed, running a hand through my hair and lowering my gaze to the ground.

"Aria, Elliot kissed me. I just had my first kiss, with Elliot. He snatched me and stole my first kiss. I dont know what's happening I'm confused and I know you're hella confused as I am. I'm not expecting you to understand. You probably would be mad at m-"
