Drake's POV
I lean in ready to kiss her when something hits me. "Kelsey wait." I say. She looks at me surprised. "Yes?" she says. "I can't kiss you." "Oh umm why ?" She asked. "I just can't I'm sorry". She looks disappointed then she turns angry. "You can't or you don't want to?! I knew I shouldn't have went on this date!". With that she stormed out of the car and into her house. Fuck ! I really fucked up. It's not that I didn't want to kiss her because trust me that's all I've wanted to do since I me her. Her lips look so soft and perfect. She looked beautiful tonight. I just didn't want to be improper. My mother always taught me a true gentleman doesn't kiss on the first date. But now it looks like this will be my first and only date with Kelsey. I guess it's for the best. I wouldn't want to drag her down with me and all my problems. Speaking of problems, I turn down the street leading to the hospital. Once I get through the doors I go strait to the nurse station. "Hi what room is Melinda Hamilton in?" I ask. "Melinda Hamilton was released yesterday sir." she says. "Who signed for her release?!" I asked angrily. "Her husband. Frank Hamilton" she says confused and slightly scared. I storm out of the hospital. I pull out my phone and call Veronica. "Hello" she answers. " When the fuck were you going to tell me mom was released?!" "What are you talking about?" she asked in complete bewilderment. " Mom has been released!" I yelled. "By who?!? I didn't release her !" She frantically yells back. "Wait! You weren't with Frank when he signed to release mom?" I asked confused. "No I didn't even know Frank was back". I hang up the phone in complete rage and speed down to a place I haven't been in two years. Home.
Kelsey POV
I can't believe he didn't want to kiss me ! I mean what's the point in asking me on a date if you have no interest in me ! Ugh this is so fucking frustrating. I mean here I am all dolled up and he doesn't want to kiss me! Oh my gosh. What if he doesn't like me that way! That would be so embarrassing. Here I am throwing myself at him and he doesn't even like me that way! Wait why do I care. I don't like him that way. It was just one date. I mean he's cute and funny and charming and those green eyes. Oh fuck. I do like him that way. Drake Hamilton what have you done to me !
*The Next Morning*
I wake up throw on sweats my hair in a bun and leave for school. When I go down the stairs my mother instantly makes a comment. "You look like a slob. You represent me when you go out Kelsey. If you look like a slob than the people will think I run a sloppy home and a sloppy campaign." She says. "Mother ! No teenager gives a damn about you or your campaign!" I yell. "You watch your tone young lady" she yells back. "Goodbye mother" I leave slamming the door shut. When I look up I see a familiar car. The same car I was in last night. The same care a certain someone didn't kiss me in. Speaking of the devil. Drake gets out of his car and walks over to me. "You didn't reply to any of my texts" he says. "I didn't get any of your texts" I lie. I got all of his texts I was just too embarrassed to reply. "Bull shit Kelsey I know you read them" he says frustrated. I start to walk away " I have nothing to say to you" I say. "So you're giving me the silent treatment ?" He asked. I ignore him. "Well could you at lease give me the silent treatment in the car." I ignore him. "Fine looks like we're walking" he turns off his car and starts walking with me. As mad as I am with him I'm actually enjoying this walk. It's nice not to walk alone. "I'm sorry I didn't kiss you" he blurts out. i sighed. " Don't be sorry. I understand if you don't feel that way for me" I say. "But that's not it. I was always taught to never kiss on the first date. I was just trying to be a gentleman but I see that backfired" he says frustrated. I stopped walking. "Wait. You wanted to kiss me ?" I asked confused. He walks closer to me until we're inches apart. "More than anything" he whispers. He grabs my waist. Pulls me close. Cups my face and slowly and lightly kisses me.
