Almost Impossible

Chapter Ten

*Jade Spears*

Everyone started dancing crazy all around us. But not Shane and I. I was in my own little world. All i could think about was the kiss. My first kiss with him. I knew i had to tell him. I had to talk things out and understand what was going on between us. He wouldn't have kissed me if he didn't have even the tiniest bit of feelings for me, the thought of that made my heart pound in an exciting way.
I suddenly felt more courageous than i had in months.

"We need to talk Shane." i said. Adrenaline ran through my very being. I was going to do it. There was no turning back. I was going to confess my undying love for him, the sudden found courage I had overshadowed the fear of rejection.

"About what?" he asked distractedly.

"Not here." I said loudly, although it must have sounded like a whisper over the booming music.

"We could go to the garden if you'd like. I'm sure we'll have more privacy there." he suggested and i nodded in approval.
We were already making our way out of the hall when a friend of Shane stopped us.

"Hey man, good to see you here." the guy greeted. He seemed a little drunk to me.

"Good to see you to Larry." Shane greeted back.

"Nice party huh, was boring at first though. But i know Kelvin's not one to throw boring parties."
Shane didn't respond to that.

"We are taking some pictures over there. Come join us." Larry suggested.
Shane looked at me for approval.
I felt slightly disappointed though to have to hold up our talk. But i thought it was for the best. I needed to gather up as much courage as i could. I could be doing that while he took his pictures.

"I'll be in the ladies, go take your pictures." I said smiling.

"I'll be waiting for you at the buffet table." he managed to say before Larry dragged him away.

I found my way to the ladies and took in a deep breath when i got there. My heart was racing uncontrollably that i thought i might pass out. I turned to the mirror. The lipstick on my lips had gone off and my lips were slightly swollen.

Gosh. What was happening to me.

I picked up my phone to call one of my girls. I called Ayla because she was the only one of them on my speed dail, and my hands were trembling so hard.
She picked at the third ring.

"Hello?" She sounded like i'd just woken her up from a lovely dream

"Ayla. I need your help. Something crazy just happened."

"Crazier than pulling me out from fantasy world?" she said sarcastically and i could feel her pout through the phone.

"Shane kissed me." i exploded.

"He what...?" she nearly screamed. She was fully awake now and was probably sitting straight.

"He kissed me Ayla. It was nothing like i've ever experienced." i said dreamily.

"What brought about it?" she asked sounding interested. I told her about the danced. How we kissed and what he said later on.
"That must mean something right? Oh Ayla, i was going to confess everthing to him, really. I can't take it anymore." i told her.

"I don't think it's a good idea. It's still to soon. Talk to him though, ask him what it meant to him. He's answer will be the stepping stone to your next move." she said wisely. And i reminded myself about why i loved her so much.

"And take it easy, i'm sure you feel like you've won a lottery." She said. I could feel her smile through the phone. She was excited for me and so was I.
