Dating My Stepsister

Chapter 3: First Kiss

-Zed's POV-

I just came home from school. "Mom! I'm home!", I called.

I went to the kitchen where I thought Mom would be but to my surprise, she's not there. I roamed our not-so-big house. Mom isn't home.

Hmmm... Macey must be in her room. Her out is earlier. And so I ran to Macey's room and just barged in. Uhmm... This kid just lost his manners. Sorry.

-Macey's POV-

I was startled by the sudden sound of my door opening. I'm on with the grouchy expression again when Zed dropped himself on my bed.

"Don't you know how to knock?", I asked irritably.

"Sorry. I'm looking for Mom. Do you know where she is?", he asked back.

"She went out to buy groceries. Now please leave me alone.", I said in my grouchy tone.

"Why do you seem to hate me when you know that you like me? Girls!", Zed blurted out.

He knows? How? I never told him!

"W-what are you talking about?", I felt my cheeks heating up. I tried to ignore it thinking it's part of adolescence.

Well, I'm in the 9th grade now whereas Zed is in the 7th grade.

And yes... I do have a slight....yes!..just slight....crush on him.

"You. Like. Me.", he seemed amused at the blushing me beside him.

"Of course not!", defensive me.

"Of course yes!", he teased.

"Not true!"

"True!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Arrgh! Stop it!"

"Won't!"

"Stop or I'll punch you!"

"Tsss... Punch me then I'll kiss you."

I felt like my cheeks are already burning. Especially when Zed started to lean closer wearing a playful smile.

"Hey! Q-quit it. I-I didn't p-p-punch you.", I stuttered as I kept shoving myself backwards until I hit my bed's headboard.

Zed's smile turned into a grin. "Changed my mind. Punch me or not, I'll still kiss you.".. He moved and leaned even closer and propped both hands on the headboard locking me in between his arms.

I closed my eyes, just like what I saw on TV and read on books, when Zed's lips were just an inch away from mine. Yeah yeah.. I want this too. Should I complain still?

He planted a soft kiss on my lips that lasted for about five seconds. I instantly opened my eyes when he pulled back. And instantly shut it again when I saw him staring at me.

"You're blushing more than ever. You look cute.", he said before planting another quick kiss on my lips.

We both jerked when we heard the gate opening.

"Your Mom's here!", I said in panic. What if Auntie saw us??

"Chill. We're not telling her.", he winked at me and quickly got out of my room before his Mom finds out.
