Goodbye Sunshine [GxG]

(8) The Briefest of Kisses

My eyes widened with shock as I realized what I had just done. 

I had kissed Yvonne.

I had kissed her without thinking. I quickly pulled back with a furious blush on my cheeks.

'I-I'm so sorry! I didn't... I mean!' I felt myself start to panic as I imagined how she would react. Would she be disgusted? Dread filled me. I felt like I had ruined everything now. We had a perfectly nice friendship and then I had to go and ruin it with a kiss because I was crushing on her. Yvonne quickly leaned forward and placed another kiss on my lips. That effectively silenced my inner thoughts.

'It seemed like your thoughts started to spiral out of control. You're very easy to read, you know.' She chuckled as she pulled back with a slight blush tinting her own cheeks.

'The kiss definitely helped.' I said and let out a deep breath I didn't know I had held. Wait... So did that mean that Yvonne actually liked me as well? It was so difficult to tell sometimes, but then again... A kiss was pretty telling when it came to feelings and expressing them. 

'It helped me calm down as well, thanks.'

'Anytime.' I blurted out before thinking and started blushing even more.

'I mean...'

'I'd like that.' She answered quickly before I could say anything else.

'You- Wow. Really?' My eyes widened. That was clearly not the reaction I was expecting.

'Claire, these past few weeks have been amazing and I really like you. And, this might be presumptuous of me, but I take it that you like me too? At least your heart does by the way it starts to flutter when you're around me.' She teased with a smile. I rolled my eyes playfully at her.

'I do. I really like you. But we're both girls. Aren't you afraid people will mock you?' Yvonne simply shook her head.

'I'm a vampire. I couldn't care less what people think of me for dating a girl. Question is do you care?'

'Me? No! My parents and friends couldn't be more accepting. Though I think rumors might spread if it gets out that I've started dating the really beautiful transfer student. The boys have been talking about who could take you out on a date ever since you got here.' The smile on her face turned into a smirk.

'Well, don't you know how to make a girl blush.' She wrapped her arms around me and brought me closer to her. I hadn't really noticed it before but now that she was this close to me, I noticed that she was actually taller than me. Not by a lot, but it was noticeable. It wasn't exactly a difficult feat to be taller than me, with me being 5'4. I would guess Yvonne had to be around 5'7. 

'I try.' I giggled and leaned up for another kiss. She happily obliged. Just kissing her was everything I had imagined. Her soft lips pressing to mine, her hands moving to gently cup my face and the way I could actually hear both of our heartbeats beating fast and loud. It felt like the two of us were in a scene from a sappy romance novel or movie. Well, I wasn't going to complain. I hadn't realized how much I had missed to feel so in love. Minus the 'vampire half-brother trying to kill me and other humans' deal. 

'So girlfriend, huh? Sure you want to date a vampire? Who knows what you might get dragged into.' Yvonne attempted to pass it off as joke once we broke away from each other, but I could see the seriousness in her eyes.

'I'm already so far into this and with you I would want to get dragged into anything.'

'I'm serious, Claire. You haven't seen the worst of the Vampires yet. You might change your mind.' Somehow I would've thought that I was the one who was supposed to hesitate, not the other way around.

'Aiden's not the worst?' If he wasn't the worst, then I dreaded to see what Yvonne would classify as 'the worst'. I did hope I would never have to see or experience that. 

'Well, he comes a close second.' Well then, that made my answer pretty simple. 

'Then no. I'm not gonna change my mind.' I could see hesitation still clear in her hazel colored eyes. 

'And here I thought you'd run screaming from me once you found out what I was.' She said eventually. I couldn't help but laugh.  

'I think I'm doing the exact opposite.' I answered while wrapping my arms around her neck, leaning a bit closer just to get my point across.

'Also Aiden's probably gonna come after me again, so why run when I can enjoy myself with you? And I actually have to give it to him though, if not for Aiden, we probably wouldn't be standing right here now. It was his first attack on me that got us talking together.' Yvonne scoffed at that. 

'That's the only positive thing he's ever done in his miserable life.' She took a deep breath and seemed to collect herself. 

'No matter. I'm confident that my father will manage to find a way to trap Aiden. Then I'll make sure he can never hurt another living being again.' 

'Hey, in the meantime. Why don't we go on a date? This time to help both of us get our mind off everything that's happened.' I didn't want to stop living just because I knew Aiden could appear any moment. I was gonna prove that I was not letting him stop me from living my life, no matter how much he terrified me. 

'That sounds like a really good idea. I could definitely use the distraction.'

'Then how about tomorrow? I heard a new coffee place recently opened up. We could go there? Relax and simply talk. Make people jealous of how good looking we are together?' That last part was really meant as a joke and it seemed to succeed as Yvonne started to giggle. 

'I'm definitely in for doing that!' 

'Then it's settled.' I said with a satisfied nod. Yvonne just stared at me with an amused expression. 

'What?' 

'You're adorable.' She answered and I felt my face heat up at the sudden compliment. It was definitely going to take a while to get used to those. 

'Especially when you blush.' She continued, this time in teasing tone. 

'Oh, just shut up and kiss me.'  I almost demanded. 

'Since the human commands it, I shall obey.' She mockingly said before leaning in, placing another soft kiss on my lips. 

Kissing Yvonne had definitely been the best decision.
