My Only Chance

Chapter 3

Chance's P.O.V.

Two hours later, Claire and I were pretty wasted. After a few shots and some beers, we found ourselves off the dance floor and on the staircase laughing about some stupid thing Claire and Audrey did. She kept rambling on about it and I couldn’t help but smile. The girl of my dreams was sitting here with me. She could be with anyone else, but she’s here with me.

Her laughter rang through my ears causing me to laugh along. She had the cutest laugh. Her smile always seemed to put butterflies in my stomach. Wow weird. Three years ago if I was told I would have butterflies in my stomach I would have laughed and called the mental institute. Something about this girl changed me. I no longer care about any other girl. Yeah I still flirt, I’m a guy. But none of them compare to Claire. She’s perfect.

I was pulled out of my daze when I noticed she had stopped talking. The look on her face scared me. There was fear, sadness but also….love.

“Claire, you okay?” I got no answer. She stayed frozen. “Claire?” Still no answer.

I took the courage and glanced behind me to see what, or rather whom, she was looking at. Riley Garfield. He looked at us then went back to the group of guys he was messing around with. I turned back to Claire, fuming mad. How dare he show up here! How dare he break-up with her. Doesn’t he know he just lost the best thing he’ll ever have? I mean I wanted them to break-up but for him to not realize how perfect Claire is pisses me off.

Claire still hadn’t moved from her current position. “Claire? Come on, it’s okay just forget about him.” Still nothing. I touched her arm to show her I was here for her. “Want me to throw him out?”

This changed her.

“No.” She replied, downing her drink.

“What can I do then?” I asked. I wanted to make things right for her.

She stood up and ran her fingers through her hair, pondering. She was quiet for so long I figured she didn’t know what to say until she blurted, “Kiss me.”

“What?” I was shocked. She wanted me to kiss her. Why?

“You heard me….Kiss…Me!” She took a few steps forward with each word she said. God it was so sexy. She brought her lips up to my ear. “Kiss me, now.”

That was all it took. I grabbed her waist and pulled her close before covering her mouth with mine. Fireworks exploded. I pulled her closer, if that was possible, as we continued to kiss. She pulled away sooner than I wanted. We were both gasping for air. I rested my forehead on hers only wanting to kiss her again. As I ducked back down to continue, she pushed me away and ran out the door leaving me shocked and confused.

Claire's P.O.V.

I ran. I don’t know why, but I ran.

I didn’t slow until I reached my dorm.

I walked into my room, closed the door and automaticlally started pacing. I was so confused.

When I saw Riley walk in I froze. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. All of my feeling for him rushed back. I loved him but he broke my heart. Chance finally snapped me out of my daze when he touched my arm. When he asked what he could do, the only thing in my mind was Make Riley jealous. I shouldn’t have used Chance that way.

But when he kissed me…I felt something.

Sparks.

I touched my lips, still feeling his lips on mine. I wanted them there again.

But I love Riley. How can I feel sparks with Chance if I love Riley?

Things just got really complicated.
