Something To Remember (kellic boyxboy)

Ch.5

I had just gotten home from another wonderful date with Vic. We had been on about seven now and I think things might actually escalate soon. I was laying in my bed after having a shower, I didn't honestly care if my pillow was getting wet.

"Kellin! Can you come here sweetie!?" I heard my mom call from downstairs.

"Ya! Coming!" I yelled back and reluctantly got out of bed. I ran downstairs and into the living room an sat beside her on the couch.

"I need to tell you, I'm going to Peru with the university for a week, I leave in three days." She said sweetly. This didn't happen often but when it did I always missed her so much. Right after dad left she went back to school to finish her geology degree. She finished highest in her class and was hired by the university right after graduation. She made good money and was home most of the time but when she did leave she was usually gone for a while. This was one of her shorter trips.

"So who am I staying with this time?" I would normally stay with my grandmother but she died about two months ago.

"Well... I was thinking I could leave you some money and you can stay here yourself. I will leave my cookbooks and buy lots of ramen before I go. You should be fine and if you need me, you have the university's number." She said. Oh my god, I've never been left home alone for that long before.

"I mean, if you really think I can handle it." I said with a shrug. I was starting to get a little nervous.

"Of course you can." She cooed, stroking my cheek and kissing it.

-----Time-skippp-----

I walked into math like usual. Sat down next to Vic who usually gets there before me. Bennett had us sitting next to our math partners now and I mean, I can't complain. He got in front of the class and told us our next assignment.

"As part of the trigonometry unit, you will be working with your semester partners on a project that has to simply explain how to do trig. It must be creative. You can make a poster, a song, a video, or anything else you can think of, just make it good." He said and went back to his desk. "Discuss!"

I looked at Vic with the nerves clearly on my face. He knows I'm shy and hate talking in front of people. He gave me a knowing look and decided to change the subject.

"So I'm still giving you a ride home today right? We can discuss it there." Vic said, he always knows what to say.

"Ok ya, I think that's a better idea but you should know my mom won't be there." I said. "She's a geologist and she's gonna be in Peru for the next week she left last night."

He smiled "It's ok, I don't mind, maybe we can have a little alone time." He said and nudged my shoulder. We talked some more and before we knew it class was over and I was off to second period.

-----TIME-SKIPPP-----

"Ready?" Vic said walking up to my locker.

"As I'll ever be." I said with a smile. Taking me home had become a normal thing for him. My house is about three miles from his so it apparently wasn't any trouble.

When we got in his car I rested my arm on the console and he looped our fingers together as he did most days. I swear every time he did so much as touch me I got these butterflies that I couldn't shake and I kinda loved it. We rode in silence other than the black veil brides album playing from the stereo which we occasionally hummed verses from. I felt like I could be myself around him and I really liked that I could really open up and not be so damn shy.

We pulled up to my house and instead of just stopping at the curb he pulled into the driveway and turned off the car. We got out and I got the key out of the front pouch if my bookbag. When we got inside I took him straight to the living room and we sat on the couch.

"I think we should definitely discuss the project, what do you want to do?" I asked, he was more creative than me. I had my little bubble and I never really left it. He did. "I'm gonna grab us some waters, be thinking about it."

I came back with the bottles in hand (get your mind out if the gutter, Katelyn, I'm looking at you) and gave him one. I then opened mine and took a swig.

"I think we should make a song." He says and I choked on my damn drink. I coughed and he patted my back a little before I took another mouthful to clear my throat. (Katelyn don't even)

"What!?" I said in a little bit of a panic.

"Look, Kells, I have grown up in a musical family, I can play a guitar and sing. My younger brother Mike can play the drums if we want to go that far. I have heard you hum in the car or quietly sing under your breath when your trying to focus in class. You won't be doing it I front of the class, we can submit an audio recording. Look, my math grade has GOT to go up and he suggested a song in the first place. I know you can do this." Vic was looking me in the panic stricken eyes and holding both my hands. I didn't know what to say. I really thought about it and he said we could just submit a recording and with him I could do it. Plus me and my mom sing together all the time so how was this any different?

"Ok, ya, why not, for the grade." I said and saw a smile spread across his face. I love when I can make him smile. He pulled me into a hug. It was the first time I had been this close to him. I was hesitant at first but quickly hugged back. I felt so safe with him. I melted in his arms. He pulled away way too soon and we looked at each other. His face was bright red and I'm sure mine was too.

"Oh, I gotta show you something!" He said and reached into his bag to pull out his laptop. He clicked a few buttons and sat it on the coffee table so the screen was between us. All I saw was a blank screen with a big blue triangle in the middle.
"Listen." He said and dragged the curser across the screen to tap the triangle. All I could do was listen.

It was a song. He wrote me a song. To ask me to be his boyfriend. I listened to the entire song and honestly I teared up a little. No one had ever done anything like this for me before. Sure my mom would do anything for me but she's never done anything like this. I looked at him after the entire recording had played. He looked really nervous and was fidgeting. It was kind of cute. There was only one thing I could think to say...

"Yes." I choked out and lost it, tears running down my cheeks. Fuck you unstable teenage emotions. He looked at me and before I could completely comprehend what was happening he slammed his lips into mine. It took me a second but I kissed back, our lips moving in perfect sync. It was soft and passionate but a little rough at the same time.

When the kiss broke, we were both a little shocked.

"Oh my god! Fuck I'm so sorry! I-I-I ummm, sorry I just, I didn't-" Vic was interrupted when I pecked his lips again.

"It's ok... boyfriend." I said and but my bottom lip at the word, boyfriend...

Vic smiled at me and his face went just as pink as mine then we finally actually started working on the project. Maybe this whole relationship thing could really, actually, for real, work out. Just maybe...
