Sinematic(Devin Sola)

15

We lie side by side the sticky ice cream still on our skin. Every now and then his thumb rubs against mine sending an electricity wave through my body. I don't know what happened in all honestly. I mean I know but I don't know, if that makes any sense. Like I know we had a war with ice cream that ended him hovering over me, and then we kissed but like why did it happen, I guess. I mean I knew he was cute, and I knew he had a lovely personality. But honestly, I didn't think he wanted that from me. Maybe it was just the heat of the moment that made him do it. I mean, afteral he does have a girlfriend, and I'm dating Chris. I decide to ask him this.

"So-" but before I have a chance to ask what I want he interrupts me.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you. That was a mistake." For some reason his words hurt me like I just put my hand in a fire. Tears well in my eyes as I stand and walk towards the bathroom, not really caring if I made a lot of noise.

I close the bathroom door behind me and turn to the mirror. I notice I have stickiness all over my face and hair. I sigh a bit and let a tear slide down my cheek, I don't know why what he just said hurt so much. I guess maybe I feel like he said I was a mistake? The thought of this only causes me to hurt more and more tears slide down my cheeks.

I turn the water in the sink on and splash my face with water, and then try to scrub off the stickiness. I wish they had a shower in this thing, it would make my life so much easier.

There's a light knock on the bathroom door causing me to quickly turn the water off and dry my face. I go to the door and open it only to be pushed in and have lips quickly pressed against mine. My heart skips in confusion as the lips i'm kissing are not Chris's and the kiss is harder then the one Devin and I just shared. I open my eyes in shock as the lips pull away from mine, and am faced with Devin.

"Woah." I whisper, in shock of how different that kiss was from Chris's and that other one we shared.

"I didn't mean to say you were a mistake if that's what you think." He says quietly to me, looking back and forth between my eyes. "I meant I shouldn't have waited so long to kiss you because now I have no chance with you becuase you're with Chris but I just had to kiss you." He says rambling closing his eyes and scrunching up his face a bit.

By now I realize my arms are wrapped around his neck and his around my waist. Honestly he's probably holding me up right now, if it weren't for his arms around me I'd probably be on the floor. My heart beats wildly in my chest as his words process in my mind.

"You've wanted to kiss me?" The only words I could say come out, I sound like a confused child.

"So badly. But I didn't want you to hate me and I thought that was a good moment to kiss you, I shouldn't have but I did and now I've kissed you again." He starts taking his arms away from my waist but I grip on harder to him.

"No, it's okay." I say still trying to comprehend everything. His arms go back around my waist, his face filled with somewhat relief.

"Maybe we should get somewhat cleaned up and then go sit and talk on the couch?"I ask him, causing him to nod lightly.

I slide the clean shirt over my head most of the stickiness off of me. I sigh a bit and walk out of the bathroom, Devin sitting on the couch playing with his hands. Once he hears the creak in the floor as I walk towards him he looks up.

"There's no more pants or shorts in the back that are clean, I hope you don't mind." I whisper awkwardly as the shirt I'm wearing barley covers my butt.

"That's alright." He smiles lightly as I sit down beside him on the couch, I sat really close, we're pretty much touching.

"So," he says and lets out a huge breathe. "while you were in there I did a lot of thinking. Well I mean I've been doing a lot of thinking since I met you but I did more just now because of the events that occoured."He says starting at the ground.

"And what were you thinking?" I ask standing back up to tuck my legs underneath me. Once I sit back down my knees kind of hit Devin's, neither of us move our legs, we both just stare at the place we're touching.

"I really like you, and I know I shouldn't because I have a girlfriend and you're with Chris. But I like you so much, it hurts everytime I see you and Chris close together because I wan't to be that person." He says, which makes me kind of sad, I wish he would've told me this before Chris asked me out.

"How long?" I ask. How long? Really Alexis, that's terrible.

"Maybe a couple days after I met you. I mean I was immediately attracted to you but it took me a few days to actually get to see who you are as a person." He says kind of embarrassed, but seems to be telling the full truth.

"I wish so much you would've told me this before Chris asked me out." I say as tears fill in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I should've but I just didn't want him to be upset that I tried to hit on you when I knew he was going to ask you out." He whispers which cause the tears to slide down my cheeks.

"Oh god, don't cry." He says frantically trying to wipe the tears away which cause me to snort of a small laugh at his eagerness to help.

We both stop moving and his hand is almost glued to my cheek. I close my eyes taking the warmth of his palm into my skin. The heat waves spreading throughout my body, the touch feeling so good.

"I like you too." I whisper lightly hopefully loud enough for him to hear.

He then slightly pushes me to lay down, so I do. He lays right beside me and puts his arm on my waist the butterflies in my stomach reappearing. I flip though so I'm facing him and then cuddle into his chest, my face buried in his neck. He wraps his arms entirely around me causing me to feel the most safe I have ever felt.

My phone buzzes from inside my pocket. I grab it kinda giggling as Devin squirms where the buzz was. I grab my phone and look to see a twitter notification.

New tweet from @lonesomeghosts: the best mistake i've ever made.
