As I step toward Chandler, his eyes glisten, and he smells like cologne and peppermint. He and I danced. And danced. And danced. It was amazing. I was in love. And I knew, I just knew. He cared about me too.
3 Weeks Later
I hadn't seen him since the party. I didn't have his number, and he didn't have mine. And honestly, it drove me crazy... We hadn't hugged, nor kissed at the party. Just danced. and I was okay with that.
A few days passed after 3 weeks and I went to the mall to get school clothes. And there Chandler was. With a friend. I thought about saying something, but he was already ahead of me.
"Hey (Y/N)!" He shouted from across the store.
"Oh hey Chan!" I said, acting as if I didn't see him before he saw me today. He started towards me, his hair long and shiny. Oh!!! How I wanted so badly to braid it.
"Wanna hang with us?" He asked me with excitement in his voice.
"Yes!! I mean. Ya why not?"
Ugh did I really say that?!
Chandler giggled.
His friend stepped up, he was tall and tan.
"Actually my mom just texted me to come home so I gotta go!"
YES! I thought.
Chandlers smile didn't disappear.
"K dude. text me whenever u need to"
Chandler said.
And with that, his friend went home, leaving us two at the mall... together.
"i didn't find anything I liked."
Chandler said, with an edge of playfulness in his voice.
"Oh. me too."
I said. a bit too quiet,
"What? I can't hear you."
Chandler said, lifting up my chin with his hand.
"I. I said-"
And that's what happened. he kissed me. Right as I was about to say something. He kissed me.
