A Classic Teenage Romance

Chapter 30: Imma Mother Effin' Starfish

The remainder of the night was uneventful with Dane and I exchanging secret smirks and him taking advantage of any reason to touch me, I glared at him briefly after discovering the mark he had created on my neck before blubbering something about scratching myself on a dress zipper to Hayley and rushing to the bathroom and slathering on some of Christy's concealer. After the mark on my neck was invisible I rejoined the group and we continued on with the party until Christy passed out on her couch. Around two in the morning Dane, Hayley and I gathered in Danes parents car and they took us back to Dane's house where we all crashed in his room, falling asleep almost immediately due to our exhausted and drunken state.

Letting out a soft groan I threw an arm over my eyes in order to shield myself from the sunlight that was currently streaming through the gaps in-between Dane's navy curtains. I pushed closer to the source of the heat that was currently surrounding me only to be greeted by Dane's tanned chest. I smiled to myself and felt his arm tighten its hold on my waist. "Morning" he mumbled burying his face in my messy hair. I grunted in response before pushing him off, despite his protesting, and sitting up streatching. My eyes scanned Danes familiar bedroom searching for Hayley's brunette head, I let out a giggle when I saw my best friend sprawled on Danes navy carpet in a position that closely resembled that of a starfish. "I swear she was on the bed with us when I went to sleep" Dane said sitting up his curly hair sticking on end and a gentle smile playing on his lips. His lips. My eyes widened when I found myself zero-ing in on his full, pink and oh-so-inviting lips. Lips that last night, were pressed against mine. I felt my face heat up at the memory. Dane looked over at me raising his eyebrows when he saw my stare and flushed cheeks. His lips slowly turned upwards in a mischievous smirk and I gulped audibly. He slowly dragged his hand up my arm leaving a blazing trail of heat in its wake, before coming to rest on my shoulder and giving it a gentle shove. I fell back on the bed my eyes widening when he crawled on top of me until he was straddling my waist. "Speaking of last night.." he trailed off before leaning down the ends of his hair tickling my face and creating a messy golden curtain around us. My breath hitched as he slowly his face closer to mine a satisfied glint in his eyes. He was enjoying himself too much. I reached my hands up, burying them in his hair before slowly moving them down to his shoulders. I took note of the way Dane stiffened when my hands brushed his neck before shoving him aduruptly off of me. He landed in the floor with a thud and whilst I, in between cackles at his womanly squeal, replied cheekily, "what about last night?" Dane just groaned in pain, mumbling that he would get me back, whilst I continued my cackling at his expense. A loud groan caught my attention from the other side of the room and I began to laugh harder seeing Hayley sit up her straight hair in a tangled mess atop her sleepy looking head. "Hey sunshine" I said in between giggles, "how was the floor?" She looked around dazed, before mumbling, "I swear I was on the bed when I fell asleep" this just made me laugh harder and eventually a steady stream of tears flowed down my cheeks. My laughter however didn't last long as Dane and Hayley shared a knowing look before running over to the bed, jumping on top of me and tickling me violently.
