Across The Hall

Salty Kisses

Kadence's P.O.V

The show was crazy and that kiss with Matt... it was slow and passionate but full of need. We were all on the bus, almost to the hotel and everyone was either sleeping or falling asleep. I was wide awake thinking about the kiss. I mean it wasn't our first one obviously but it was different from the others. Matt was leaning against the window with his eyes closed, our hands intertwined and his thumb drawing circles on the back of my hand. I looked back and saw Delilah cuddled up against Cameron his arm tight around her little body and her feet under Carters leg. I was worried about her but I knew she is in good hands.

After what seemed like hours we finally arrived at the hotel the van pulling up to a stop near the front entrance. Everyone slowly started to wake up and stretching slowly and tiredly getting off the bus one by one. I pushed Matt unhooking our hands and turning to face him. He was still sleeping like he literally hadn't moved. He was worse than I was in the morning.

"Matt. Come on it's time to wake up." I said as I pushed him a little harder. His eyes slowly started to open finding their way to mine. He smiled up at me his cute little smile that made him look like a tired puppy. This boy makes my heart melt with anything he does. He stood up towering a couple inches over me and stretched making his shirt lift up a little revealing his smooth stomach and his v line.

"Well.. You coming or are you going to stay in the van all night?" He smiled knowing I was checking him out. I hadn't even realized that he walked to the doors of the van. I blushed looking down and stepped out of the van catching up with him. I looked down at his hand brushing it lightly then pulling away all in the same second hoping he hadn't noticed, but he did.

I felt the warmth of his hand make its way to mine. We walked hand in hand to the elevators the ride up silent and slighlty awkward. I watched the number in the elevator get higher and higher, closer and closer to our floor. I started to count them as they got closer until it came to a complete stop and the doors opened. I trailed behind Matt, our hands no longer connected and walked down the long hallway to where our rooms were. We lingered in the hallway for a bit.

Matt looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't make the words come out. I walked closer to him to show him I was listening I looked up to see him better. I stared at him for a moment about to tell him he can tell me but he beat me to it. He said it really fast it was hard to catch at first but I knew what he said. I knew it was coming I guess in a way it's always been in the back of my mind I just never wanted to notice it until now.

"I'm leaving tomorrow.." Matt trailed off. I mean I know he can't stay here forever but I didn't want him to leave. I turned around my back facing him. He was my happy place and I didn't want him to go.

"So what are we going to do your last night?" I asked looking down at the ground my gaze fixed on my roughed up converse then looking back while biting my lip.

"I can think of one thing." He slid is hands on my stomach. His hands were freezing making goose bumps ruining up my stomach.

"Yeah what's that?" His hands slip to my back and ran up and down my spine spreading goosebumps all over my back and up and down my arms. He started to lean down taking his time with it and stopping right in front of me. I could feel his breath on my lips making me anticipate if he was going to kiss me. I couldn't wait any longer. I fisted his shirt into my small hands and pulled him making our lips connect. I unhooked my hands from his shirt sliding them up to his neck wrapping my arms around him.

His tongue traced the outline of my lips wanting entrance. I smiled into the kiss not letting him in quite yet. He tried again pushing his tongue harder onto my lips but I wasn't going to give in that easily. All of a sudden I felt something scrape my bottom lip pulling it between his teeth biting down gently. I gasped giving him the opportunity to slide his tongue gently between my lips exploring my mouth. His hands traveled down to my hips gripping them tightly.
