Chapter 14 - True Love's Kiss

4d, 20hrs, 17mins left...

Bucket List #2: Tell Dylan's true feelings to Blaire. His crush since middle school.

Ah, crap. I don't know if I can do this. Dylan thought to himself, trying to breathe normally.

They were hiding on the corner of the wall where beyond it stood Blaire's house.

"One last thing." Kyle said.

He told Clark to grab the necktie from my backpack and tie it on his neck.

"There!" Kyle said. "Now you look like man."

"Are you implying that I don't look like man?" Dylan said, squinting his eyes a bit.

"No!" Kyle said. "What I meant was-" He went silent for a second. "Nevermind."

"To be honest," Clark said, placing his index finger and thumb on his chin. "It does not look good. He's just opening up to a girl that he likes her. Wearing a necktie makes him look like he's asking her on a date."

Kyle started to think. "Yeah, you're right."

Dylan took off his tie and gave it to Clark.

"You ready?" Collin asked Dylan.

His stomach started to throb. "No."

"Good." Kyle said, then pushed me.

Dylan took a deep breath and walked towards the front gate of Blaire's house.

***

Blaire opened the door and walked out of her house as soon as Dylan rang the doorbell. 

I can do this. I can do this.

She looks beautiful. She was wearing a red dress that sparkles when the sun shines at it. She wore a crimson red lipstick that matches her dress. Her blush looks amazing. Not too less, not too much. Just enough. Her silver earrings and red stiletto heels makes her look elegant.

"Dylan." Blaire smiled as she opened the gate. "What are you doing here?"

He tried to speak, but he was speaking gibberish because of her astonoshing look. He thought that a guy like him would not be perfect for a girl like her.

But since he's already there, he can't turn back now. He gathered all his fears and gulped it down. "Blaire. I have something to tell you."

He started to speak. "You were my first friend in the beginning of middle school, and I would really thank you for helping me through our entire middle school. You were with me the entire time. And those times that we are hanging, I developed these feelings for you."

He took another deep breath. "And I, I-"

Before he could finish the sentence, Blaire leaned in towards him and gave him a kiss. He can't believe that that just happened.

The others who were hiding in the corner gasped, and Kyle gave him a thumbs up.

"I really like you too." She said. "Since middle school."

She gave him another kiss, then suddenly, water came down splashing from above them. They were now wet. They looked above and saw that her parents were above the balcony, the dad holding a bucket.

"Dammit Hank!" Her mom yelled. "For the last time, splash the water BEFORE they kiss. Not after."

"Well it already happened." His dad answered. "Hey Kid! Would you like come over for lunch tomorrow?! We need to talk about a couple of things! Mostly about my daughter kissing you!"

"Dad!" She yelled.

"Sure thing Mr. Cabello!" Dylan replied, a smile forming on his face.

"Well, that's the reason I'm here." Dylan said. "Unfortunately, I have to do a couple of things. See you tomorrow?"

"Sure." She replied. She reached for another kiss, but was stopped.

"Okay, young lady!" Her mom yelled. "That's enough kisses for one day!"

She chuckled. "Bye."

She returned back inside her house.

I walked back to the others with a huge smile on my face.

"Dude!" Kyle said. "I can't believe that happened!"

"Yeah," Collin said. "I was expecting the other way around, so..."

"Negative much?" Dylan said. "Anyways, can we stop on a nearest gas station before we continue the list? I need to change clothes because as you can see, I've been splashed with a bucket of water by an American dad and a Latina mom and I do not want to walk around looking all wet."

"Sure." Collin said.

They all hopped back inside the car and drove towards the nearest gas station.

Besides changing clothes, they also decided to buy snacks. Of course, the ghosts didn't. They continued driving and talked about their plan about the skydiving.

"So." Kyle said. "Skydiving. How are we gonna do this?"

"It's expensive to pay." Leslie said.

"Do we know anyone who has a plane and will let us ride it for free?" Brandon said to everyone.

Dylan's lightbulb lit up. "I know someone."

He grabbed his phone and called someone.

"Hey, what's up?" Dylan said through the phone. "Hey dude, where are you? Uh-huh. Can we borrow a plane? Great. Are you with your brother? Super great. Meet you there. Bye."

"Who was that?" Kyle asked him.

"A person who has a plane."
