Chapter Two

....Before our lips can connect, I pull away.

"Ahh, I see. You don't want to kiss the nerd." Attitude prominent in his voice as he backs up and moves his tongue around his mouth in annoyance.

"No, no! Really, t-that's not i-it" I stutter.

 I didn't mean to annoy him..It's just....if he knew why I pulled away, he would laugh.

"Then what is it?" He questions walking towards me again.

"Um...uh...well....you see.."

"C'mon, Carlie. You can tell me." He places his hand on my cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

I swallow, "wellseeheresthethingumifweweretokissitwouldbemyfirstkissandIdontknowhowtokisssoIdontwanttomessupanduhyeah." I quickly say.

He chuckles, "You're kidding, right? That's why you pulled away? That's mot a big deal, babe. It's okay."

"I don't know, I just thought you'd make fun of me."

"Jeez, I know I can come off as a dick but I'm not that rude. I was in your position before."

"I never said you were...it's dumb, I know. I did want to kiss you though so don't think I didn't..." I look down.

He repositions his hand under my chin, lifting it up. "Then why don't we continue where we left off?" A smirk creeping its way onto his mouth before he bites his lip.

I nod, shifting my gaze from his lips back up to his eyes, then back down to his lips. 

This time we both lean in...

"beep, beep, beep, beep." My alarm clock sounds, waking me up. 

"Carlie! Time to get up, you have school." My mom yells from down the stairs.

"I know, I know. I'm awake." I shout back rubbing my hands over my face.

I sigh, "Why am I having dreams like this about my best friend...?" I think to myself before getting off my bed to go brush my teeth.
