Are You The One For Me?

Are You The One For Me? (12) - Edited.

CALLISTA'S POV:

After the kiss, I felt completely smooth inside and like I was floating on air as I boarded the bus. I felt totally at ease and in control as I walked past both boys and walked off with Niya.

But, as soon as I got on the bus, I felt everything in me go uneven and I felt like I was walking on rocks. Everything felt bumpy and staticky. I couldn't believe what had just happened. It had to be a dream. I had to be imagining it.

But, from the way Niya was screaming and squealing and from the warmth in my heart and smile on my face, it didn't seem so.

"OMG! I was so right!" Niya cried out, gaining attention from everyone on the bus, but it wasn't like she cared what they thought of her. "He does like you!"

"I can't believe that just happened." I said in a comatose voice. I plopped down in my seat and stared out the window.

"Well, why not?" Niya asked, taking a seat next to me and trying to peer at my face. "It did happen. You were there. So, why can't you believe it?"

"I just can't," I turned towards Niya. "I just got my first kiss."

I tasted the words as they left my mouth. They felt so strange and alien. I wasn't familiar with that kind of thing and while most normal people would've been ecstatic over what just happened, I wasn't normal and what happened didn't excite me; it shocked me.

Eric had kissed me. I had kissed him back. I enjoyed it. A lot. And I didn't want it to stop. Ever.

As I replayed the images of him pulling me close and rubbing my back as I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his hair, I couldn't help shudder. It wasn't in a bad way at all, but it still felt so strange to me, is all.

What I had done and how I reacted felt so natural; like I've done it a million times before. Maybe I had in a whole other life, but in this one I was about as experienced as a wall.

"You're talking as if you've never thought or imagined it happening," Niya chuckled. "I mean, you've got to have had at least one or two, at the most, fantasies of lip-locking with him. Right?" A flash of doubt crossed Niya's face, but it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

I nodded. "Yeah. Maybe. But, I never actually thought it'd come true!"

That's what shocked me the most. The fact that I  had fantasied something like that happening and all of a sudden it was.

I've liked a lot of guys in my life, but I could never imagine myself with any of them except for one - Dylan. After him, that was it. I actually believed we'd make a good couple and he'd actually treat me right. So far, that hasn't happened and it without a doubt, never will.

But, with Eric. I've had plenty of those dreams and fantasies throughout the days I've known and befriended him. Except I never expected them to actually happen! And now that one had of them had already come true, I was afraid of what was more to come.

"Well, don't you like him back?" Niya scrunched up her perfectly shaped eyebrows and stared me down with her translucent hazel eyes.

"I-I-" I considered lying to Niya for half a second. But, we were friends again and maybe she could help me understand these feelings. She was all I had other than the Internet, of course, but that wasn't a real person. Niya was and she was experienced with these kinds of things. Before speaking though, I promised myself that if she did try to push me far again, I wouldn't listen and stop her. Now, if only I could find a way to actually keep that promise. "Yes." I nodded. "I do. A lot."
