Would It Be Okay If I Took Your Breath Away? [Kevin Skaff]

Chapter 4

Every night since that party, I've had the same dream. It was just a replay of that exact moment whe Kevin kissed me. His lips just tasted sweet and the little stubbles of facial hair tickled my cheeks. I could replay that moment over and over in my head. That boy practically takes the breath right out of me.

Winter break had just started and Dawn was sleeping over for the next few days. I was day dreaming once again as she entered my house. It's only been two days since that wonderful night, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. "Stop thinking about your boyfriend and help me out." I got up off the couch to grab one of her bags. "I brought you a present." She pointed to the door, which got me confused. "We're having fun sleepovers this week." At that moment, all the guys stepped through the door with packed bags. "Wait, are they staying here?!" Dawn nodded her head at me. Oh boy, this is going to be one crazy week.

Kevin came walking my way and I immediately blushed as hard as possible. "I call dibs on Charlotte's room!" I didn't think it was possible, but he succeeded at making me blush harder. "I call dibs on Charlotte's bed!" Jeremy yelled. They play fought in my living room, laughing as Jeremy pushed Kevin to the couch.

As I flickered my eyes around the room, Dawn sat on the couch as Neil laid down placing his head on her lap. They were so cute together. In that instant, I heard her say yes and nod her head repeatedly. He then pulled her face into a kiss. I pulled out my phone and texted her congrats. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if Kevin asked me out. Would I immediately say yes or would I stutter and blow out nonsense?

Kevin's POV

Neil just asked Dawn to be his girlfriend, so what am I waiting for? Shouldn't I go for it? I don't even know, I'm just so nervous to. She's such a perfect girl, and she could probably dump me for another guy just like Claire did. Claire was my first high school girlfriend, and head cheerleader. It was sophomore year and I thought life was going perfectly. Until Alex had caught her with another guy at some restaurant. Alex had said they were making out the entire time and I broke down. I never knew how bad heartbreaks were until that moment when I caught her cheating with my own eyes. Claire was out at a party and it was obvious that he was going to be there. She cheated on me with the quarterback to the football team. As soon as I saw her put her lips to his, I freaked. I went inside, made a whole scene and broke up with her that instant. Worst memory of my life. That's why in all my past relationships after that, I've been cautious with the girls I choose.

With Charlotte, I belive that she wouldn't be the type of person to do something like that. However, she's so gorgeous, any guy could easily take her away from me. I don't know why I'm truly waiting so long. Everyone knows I'm going to ask her out and I bet she knows it too but still I sit right in front of her and don't move a muscle. I don't get myself sometimes.

Charlotte's POV

As everyone got settled in, we decided to watch scary movies. This is the part where I sit next to Kevin and every time I get scared, I stick my face into his chest. No, no, no. I can't set myself up for that. I have to try to not sit next to him.

I placed a bag of popcorn into the microwave and waited for it to finish as I paced the floor. The microwave beeped and I placed the popcorn into a bowl. As I came back the only empty seat was the one next to Kevin, of course. I gave Josh the popcorn and grabbed a small blanket from the closet in the hallway. Alex had gotten up to scare Dawn, who was sitting next to Josh and Neil. Instead of Dawn getting scared, Josh did and he threw the bowl of popcorn into the air. I was laughing so hard, I almost fell to the floor but Kevin caught me.

Almost halfway through the movie, I was starting to get incredibly sleepy. I had jumped a few times but I tried not to grab Kevin. So, I kinda squeezed Jeremy's leg a few times. My head was now resting on Kevin's shoulder, I was too tired to move to my bed. I didn't really have the energy to go anywhere, but I know they'll be sleeping on the couch and I have my own bed. I felt my legs being picked up and as soon as I was lifted into their arms, I fell asleep. I truthfully didn't think I'd be this tired. It felt like someone drugged me.

I woke up in the morning and found Alex sleeping on the ground next to my bed. I guess he won my room last night. I walked quietly out my room to find Neil and Dawn sharing one couch, Josh sleeping on the other couch and as I looked towards the floor, I almost died of laughter. Kevin and Jeremy were sleeping but holding on to each other. Looks like Jeremy likes to cuddle. I can't wait until they wake up and see how their night went.

As I shook my head, I made my way to my bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and placed black eyeliner on. I didn't want to look like a total mess when they wake up. As I was putting my hair into a ponytail, I heard a male scream from the living room. I'm guessing Jeremy and Kevin are awake.

I walked out the bathroom and saw Kevin standing up and Jeremy standing by the kitchen. I started dying of laughter. "I see you two had fun last night." I said laughing. "For the record, Jeremy was holding onto me. He secretly wants me." Kevin said sticking his hands into his gym shorts pockets. As I reached for the door, Jeremy asked where I was going. "I'm going for a walk." "Oh, I'll join you." Kevin said running for the door. I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed my keys.

Dawn's POV

I started getting all jumpy and shaking Neil. "I think he's finally going to ask her out! I think this is it boys!" As I kept jumping and yelling, Neil finally pulled me down to kiss me. With Neil's lips on mine, it feels like butterflies and fireworks all over my body. I tangled my fingers in his perfect hair as his hands traced my sides. Much to my disappointment, Neil pulls away with a cute smirk on his face. "What was that for?" I asked, suddenly finding myself blushing. "To definitely get you to relax." I giggled to myself as I placed my lips back on Neil's.

Charlotte's POV

As Kevin and I were walking, he asked me questions. "If you had one wish, what would you wish for?" "Hmm, one wish... Truthfully, I wish I could just skip all the highschool stuff and get the hell out of here. I want to go far, far away and travel the globe. I want to go on tons of roadtrips to meet new people and go to concerts for the rest of my life. That's my wish." He smiled and widened his eyes. "That was probably the most perfect wish." I chuckled and started to jog.

"Kevin! Hey!" Some blonde girl stopped us. I didn't really pay attention to her looks too much. "Hey remember me? It's April, from your chemistry class." He smiled at her. "Oh right, hey." "I was going to ask you a question but i see you're busy with your... girlfriend?" I shook my head. "No, we're just... friends." I said. "Oh cool. Well in that case, Kevin-" "I'll meet you at the house Kev." I said cutting her off as I jogged away. Great, some girl just probably asked Kevin out and I'm going to have to suck it up and act like I'm happy.

I got back in the house and found myself in my room. I heard the front door open and close once again. "What do we have here?" I heard Josh ask. "Oh, some chick gave me her number, but I don't think I'm going to call her." Kevin said, talking loudly. "Dude! Why not?" Dawn looked at Josh with a stern look. I peaked out the corner of my room. "I mean, maybe I could give her a chance." Kevin left outside the door as Dawn slapped Josh on the arm countless times. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" She yelled as she kept hitting him. "What's wrong?!" Josh asked trying to get out of her grasp. "Do you not remember that Cee likes him?! Don't you remember any minute now he could've asked her out?!" Dawn yelled. I came out of my room and took a seat on the couch. "Charlotte, I'm so sorry! Maybe he won't like her."

Kevin came back into the house his phone in his hands. "How'd things go?" Alex asked. "Um, we're going out friday night. She seems like a really cool chick." I got up to go to the kitchen. "How are you doing? You okay?" Jeremy asked me in the kitchen. I sighed thinking about all this. "No, he kissed me and he's going to go out with another girl? How am I supposed to deal with that? I mean I'm sure she's great. She has big blue eyes and long shiny blonde hair and I bet he's head over heels for her but I dont know. What about me?" I leaned against Jeremy's chest and started crying. This is the second time I'm crying over Kevin. What is he doing with my life? How is he able to mess with my mind like this?
