We Meet Again [Kendall Schmidt Love Story]

Chapter 12

Why can't I pull away? Why can't I shove him off? I build up all of the strngth and courage left inside of me and use it to shove him off. Expect it work? Well it didn't. Because all of the strength and courage left in me is not enough. Kendall's not even trying to keep himself off me. It's like for him, it feels natural. My lips on his just seem perfect. Though I don't want to, I keep telling myself to stop kissing back. But it's like my lips have their own mind. Because I'm not exactly controlling them. It's as natural as breathing. That's how this feels like. Then, we pull away.

"Why'd you do that?!" I exclaim, but low enough for no one to wake up. 

"Don't tell me you didn't like it," Kendall simply replies.

Truth is, I did like it. The kiss felt so amazing. It felt liek sparks were exploding everywhere around us. Like we were the only two humans left in the world. The feeling was like I haven't eaten anything for years, and he saved me. It's like nothing left in this world matters.

"I...um..." I studder.

"Come on. Just admit it. You enjoyed it. Very. Very much," Kendall smirks, obviously proud of his work. 

"Uh..."

"Tick. Tock. Time's running out, Val. Better answer or I'll kiss you again,"

"I'm fine with that," I say flirtaciously, but I wasn't thinking. 

He leans in again, but before our lips can touch, Carlos walks in. Thank goodness he doesn't notice how close we are. Kendall and I both start blushing, and that's what Carlos notices. So does Kendall really like me? I mean, he actually jsut said he didn't wanna go on that date, but he also never said he didn't like me. So there's still a chance that he would actually like me! Wait. Why am I getting excited? There's nothing to get excited about. Ugh!

"What's with the blushing?" Carlos asks suspiciously.

"Uh...we...we were uh..." Kendall looks at me for help.

"Carlos. You know how people start blushing when they laugh? Yeah well Kendall told me a joke, and you know, we laughed," I say without studdering. 

"But I didn't hear any laughing. I've been awake, using my phone," Carlos comments.

"Well you know. Maybe you were so concentrated on your phone that you didn't hear us laugh. We were pretty loud. We were surprised none of you guys got up," Kendall replies.

"Huh. You're probably right," says Carlos.

Kendall and I smile at each other, silently having a party for Carlos hasn't gotten suspicious. At our quick glance, I can't help but notice Kendall's eyes greener than ever. Usually it goes lighter, but now, it's as green as the grass. So beautiful. Oh, shut up, Valerie Rain Stone! Yes, my middleame is Rain. Kendall says he likes my middlename. He told me on sophomore year. Valerie, you don't like Kendall! You're just really good friends!

You and Kendall are just great friends, and you have been since high school! You're just happy that you've gotten everything through! Sure, you kissed...again. But it shouldn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. He's a celebrity, you're just an average girl! Get a hold of yourself, Val!

"We're here," Mike says.

We all suddenly get up from our seats and bunks and run out of the bus. Mike sighs as we all hop off. The boys and Aleena start doing happy dances and hugging each other from happiness of finally arriving at California. I do nothing. No dancing. No hugging. No jumping. No nothing. Soon after, Aleena notices. She walks over to me with a concerned look on her face. I bet she knows why I'm not cheering and jumping like an idiot.
