After The Kiss

Chapter 1

Violet's POV

I opened my eyes and waited for the kisser to do the same, he finally did, i looked deep into his beautiful green eyes, they were like emeralds, emeralds that i had seen many times before. 'Ethan' i realised it was my other best friend who caught me off guard and kissed me, why though, i didn't even know he liked me and i could tell by the taste of his mouth that he wasn't drunk, maybe he thought i was so he saw his opportunity to kiss me and he took it but i wasn't even drinking tonight. All these different thoughts went racing through my head all in the time of a minutes kiss. I could feel the eyes of everyone in the room on us but after a couple of seconds into the kiss i was staring to enjoy it and it wasn't until he pulled away that i acknowledged all the staring eyes, all i could think of was his lips against mine for that brief moment in time.

"Ethan" i mumbled "wh wh what just happened ?" I asked,

"Um...... I.. I.... I gotta go now" he said quiet enough for only me to hear. He loosened his grip on my body but i wouldn't let him get away that easy so i wrapped my arms around his body and hugged him until he gave in trying to get away. I looked up at him and whispered,

"Why ?" Just then he pulled me into a janitors closet, shut and bolted the door. A million possible explanations ran through my mind and i was desperate to know the one he was hopefully going to give me.

"I don't know exactly why i kissed you" he said his minty breath making my heart stop, I've never felt like this around Ethan but the way he hovered over me (he's the taller one but not by a lot) with his hand against the wall, his head nearly resting on mine, it was like a dream. I couldn't control myself properly and i was hoping the feeling would wear off soon because i didn't want to be like this around him from now on. I'm not that proud of what i did next though.

Before i gave him a chance to explain what was going through his mind I slid my hand up towards his chest, he worked out any time he wasn't doing anything, and slowly leaned in pausing before i kissed him tenderly. He hesitated at first but then he kissed me back, I could feel his hand travel up my back and it sent shivers down my spine, I tried to gain access to his mouth but he wouldn't let me and at that moment he pulled away saying only this,

"I still want us to be best friends" then he unlocked the door and the next thing i knew he was gone, he'd left me against the wall by myself. That was until Rachel slid through the door,

"I think we should leave now" she said, i just nodded i couldn't agree with her more

"What the hell happened with you two last night" Rachel asked me as she walked into my room and opened my curtains, we share and apartment together with Ethan just across the hall and i'm used to Rachel just walking into my room and Ethan just walking into the apartment. I was still in bed when Rachel came in and i didn't want to answer her right now i was still too tired to even think.

"You're getting up one way or another bitch" she said in a joking tone as she pulled the bed cover off the bed along with me because i tend to sleep on one half of the covers and use the other half to keep me warm, i end up like this during the night. I created a loud thud,

"Owch that hurt" i exclaimed rubbing my lower back,

"So what happened with you two last night then ?" Rachel asked me once again "because i after you went to bed i heard Ethan come home with someone"

"Why would i care about that ?" I asked extremely confused as to why she mentioned that,

"Aren't you two a couple now ?" She asked innocently, I shook my head and I saw the realisation spread over her face then it reddened up as she shouted,
