First Kiss (Cassie’s P.O.V.)

 I couldn’t believe this place. It was so warm and comfortable and there were sexy guys walking around the place! Who wouldn’t want to live here?! Oh, yeah. Eva.

I sighed. I really worried about her sometimes. I’ve seen her come to school- we didn’t need school anymore! Hell yeah!- with meekness practically dripping off of her. Just because of a few stupid people she was forced to call her family! It was insane! Her sister was a bitch, straight up. She only cared about herself, made sure she was always surrounded by people who would compliment her, and beat down people who did better then her, like Eva did at her grades and always would.

Her mom was one of those people who only wanted a good image. She saw Eva’s ability to do something, and made her do it to the fullest. The only good thing that came out of that was her dancing. Eva had even confided in my once that at Kayla’s basketball banquet she’d been forced to go to, she’d ended up breaking down crying in the bathroom for no reason at all; I’d assumed her emotions had gotten the better of her, but didn’t say anything on it. Anyway, her mom had come in, saying that the people they were sitting with were beginning to wonder where she’d disappeared to. Not even bothering to ask about her daughter’s tear streaked appearance, she’d promptly ordered her to clean herself up and come out. Eva had accused her, “Is that all you care about? Impressing your friends?” Her mother had replied,

“I care about people not finding out that you’re pathetically crying in a fucking bathroom at a restaurant!” Easy to say that Eva’s miniscule ego had pretty much been degraded to nothing.

Her dad ignored her. That was it. I think he wanted to talk to her, but had given up hope because my friend was so secretive and independent. Weighed with guilt, he continued avoiding her, and before he realized it, it was far too late.

I sighed, trying to think of something happy. Eva would come around I assured myself. Seth would get her to open up. It would be a bumpy ride, but he would do it.

Thinking of Seth made me think of Cody, which instantly brightened my mood. I don’t know how someone so perfect was made, but I was keeping him. No questions asked.

You don’t think he’s perfect? Let me break it down for you.

His smile. Killer. As soon as he’d first smiled at me, I’d been a goner. I succumbed to that cute face and knew then and there that he would be my next crush, hopefully boyfriend, and I prayed never ex. He could melt popsicles with that smile… Popsicles were so good… Okay, focus, Cassie.

His personality. He was so in tune with me that I almost thought he wasn’t being himself before I saw the innocence of his expression and realized that he wasn’t putting on an act at all. He was just being himself. Our energy levels matched perfectly, and I couldn’t believe how lucky I got to find someone so nice, funny, adventurous, and hot.

Which bring me to my next point: his body. To die for. He wasn’t super muscular, like Seth, but he wasn’t a huge softy, like Colton. He was lean with muscle, which suited me just fine. Shoulders that were broad enough, biceps that didn’t stretch a shirt, but were definitely noticeable, and abs that were as sculpted as if the gods had formed them to perfection themselves. His legs, which may sound kind of weird, were lean and very attractive. Perfect for piggyback rides! I loved those!

All in all, he was my dream man and I ain’t gonna complain until a polar bear asks me to marry him in Spanish! Even though I don’t know Spanish, so that might be kind of hard to know or not… Eh, I’ll get Eva or Elena to translate for me. They were both fluent in the language, Elena because of her Cuban background and Eva just because she was being Eva and decided one day to learn the love language. The girl was crazy sometimes, but I still loved her to pieces.

“Ready, love?” Cody asked from the doorway. I jumped, screaming slightly from surprise. He laughed. I loved his laugh too…

“Yeah,” I chirped, over my shock. I skipped over to him, took his hand, and hauled him out of our room and down the hallway. We were going to go swimming and he said there was something he wanted to show me. I didn’t know which one I was more excited about, since I really like surprises but I really liked swimming.

Once I had no idea where to go anymore, I looked at him with a look that screamed, “Do you expect me to know where to go? Why aren’t you going to the pool? I’m so freaking excited, I just wanna be there already!” Well, maybe it didn’t really show all of that, but that’s what I was thinking, even though I knew perfectly well that I was the one to drag us to God-knows-where-we-are-now.

He chuckled at my expression, and I swelled with pride at making him laugh. He tugged my hand in the way we had come, and I wanted to groan in protest. I dragged his sexy ass all the way here only for us to turn back?!

“That wasn’t very nice,” I pouted.

“What wasn’t?” he said softly, seeming to be in a daze. His eyes kept glancing from my eyes down to my lips. I got a tingly feeling knowing he wanted to kiss me, so I didn’t comment on it.

“You let me walk around this entire mansion,” that was exaggerated, but I think you’re beginning to learn that that’s just who I am, “just to turn around? And made me waste precious energy that could be used for other things? Yeah, not nice.” I didn’t even take into account how sexual my words were until I saw the proof down in his south seas. Again, I ignored it, but was beaming on the inside. I’d never done that to any of my other boyfriends, and, as weird as it sounds, it felt good to know I was capable of it.

“Sorry, Cass,” he mumbled, twirling a lock of my black hair around his finger and giving it a light tug. “Forgive me?”

I pretended to think about that for a minute. “Yeah,” I finally relented after seeing him fidget for a second. “Just this once,” I warned playfully.

He snickered. “Okay,” he sighed wistfully, going along with my joke. We continued to poke fun at each other as we reached the pool. I stripped down into my neon green bathing suit, hiding a smirk when I saw Cody staring at my revealed skin. I smeared some sunscreen on to torment him a little more, which was almost too fun to do since Cody kept staring at me rubbing it into my skin. He helped me spread the gooey, cold substance into my back before we both jumped in.

“Holy crap, it’s freezing!” I shouted as I poked my head out of the water.

“Let me help you with that,” Cody teased, swimming up to me and wrapping me in his warm arms. I giggled, not being able to help my unexplainable giddiness around this one guy. His hands glided across my back and arms, warming me up very efficiently.

I don’t know how it happened. All I know is that one minute we were laughing and having fun and the next we’re staring each other down like two animals waiting to attack.

His fingers slipped in the sides of my bikini. “What are you doing?” I breathed. I had no doubt he could hear my monster heartbeat. My breath came in short, little pants, and I was grateful for that much oxygen. I really couldn’t expect much more from my body when he kept getting closer and closer…

“I’m going to kiss you,” was all he said. I waited in anticipation, but he just continued to stare at me, as if he couldn’t look away from my eyes. He didn’t stop pulling me forward, and my body eventually connected with his. He still didn’t stop. He just kept tugging at my bikini bottoms, and I unconsciously intertwined my legs with his so he could continue pulling me closer. My arms wrapped around his neck, but the entire time I couldn’t look away from his light, happy blue eyes that seemed to be glazed in something different right now. A serious type of emotion that I knew was everything I needed to live. Love? Perhaps.

Oh my God, the anticipation was killing me! “So do it already,” I gasped, my breath getting shorter and shorter as our faces came within an inch of each other. “Damn it, Cody, kiss me.”

The edges of his lips tilted up in a tiny smirk before he fulfilled every demand I gave him.
