Scalia- The one

13

Scott knew this was wrong in every way possible. He technically still had a girlfriend and kissing another girl was definitely cheating. But the other part of himself was screaming 'YES'. And there was no denying he wanted to keep kissing her because ever since he had caught her when she slipped from the table at the animal clinic, he'd known there was something different about her. Different from the rest. With an internal sigh, Scott pulled away. He first looked at the floor and then at Malia who was staring back at him with wide eyes. I don't even know if she likes me in that way. Stupid Scott. He thought to himself. Slightly embarrassed, Scott turned away but felt a hand under his chin. Malia gently tilted his head to face her.

"You kissed me." She stated.

"Uh.. yeah." Scott mumbled, still watching her with cautious eyes.

A long silence passed between them.

"Why?" Malia finally choked out.

Scott didn't know what to say. Was he allowed to admit his feelings to a girl if he was dating another? Scott chewed his lip before saying, "Because I like you Malia. I-I haven't really met anyone like you before." It was cheesy, he knew. But it was true; before Allison, he used to have lots of girls on his tail but none of them interested him, not in a romantic way anyway. And then Allison came- he shook his head to clear his thoughts and turned back to Malia to see her reaction. Idiot Scott, what were you thinking when you said that? She probably doesn't even like you as a fr-

But Scott didn't get to finish that thought or have time to dwell on the other ones that were swimming around his mind because Malia was kissing him. And this time Scott didn't pull away, because he wanted this so badly and damn it was so wrong but he didn't care; not anymore. He wrapped his arms around Malia's waist and pulled her closer to him, still kissing her gently. Her lips were soft on his; a gentleness he hadn't seen her use too often. He smiled into their kiss as he felt her fingers tangle in his hair, pulling his mouth further onto hers.

When she eventually pulled away, he noticed she was blushing.  He couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his lips which immediately vanished when she gave him a death glare.

"Don't think this means anything pretty boy." She growled, which Scott could hardly take seriously because she was still blushing.

"But you kissed me." Scott said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Oh shutup." Malia had turned away but Scott was pretty sure he caught a flash of a smile on her lips as she retorted it.
