The Swordfish Club (Kellic)

Chapter 12

I perfectly understand why Justin is unable to stop talking about his girlfriend. It's because his head is filled with pictures of her. Her smile, the way she laughs, her voice, the feeling of her lips...all of that is marked on his brain. I know it, that's the way I feel about Vic.

He was so perfect yesterday. The feeling of his lips was still lingering on mine and the big smile plastered on my face wouldn't fade away, never. I sighed in contentment, stretching my arms laying down on the table. In a few minutes, the bell would ring, I would go to the training and see Vic. Just thinking about it made my heart skip a beat. Since yesterday, I was over the moon. I was unable to explain how, but after what happened, my feelings have amplified, like a lot. Perhaps it was the fact that the context was different, it seemed more serious than kissing strangers at parties after all. We knew each other, it meant something. I was so excited about it, it was the first time something like that happened to me.

"Earth to Kellin, the bell has rung," exclaimed Justin loudly in my ear. I jumped, startled, and hit his arm.

"Hey! What's that for?" he protested, rubbing his arm.

"You shouldn't have interrupted my nice daydream," I replied as I stood up and put my bag on my shoulder.

"Daydream, uh? Naughty thoughts you mean, right?" Justin smirked with a goofy smile. I just rolled my eyes, hitting his arm once again before dragging him out of the class by the hand.

That was totally Justin, transforming something sweet in something more. Too bad Emmeric had a different class right now. I knew Justin would have refrain himself to say something like this in his presence.

I did my best today to keep my mouth shut about what happened yesterday with Vic. I wanted to keep it that way for the moment for a few reasons. First, I wouldn't hear the end of it with Justin, he would be so shocked about the fact Vic was gay and I don't think he wanted people to know that. Secondly, I liked the fact that nobody knew it, it was just between us. Maybe it was childish of me, but sharing a secret with someone made me feel extremely excited.

"Calm down Kellin, you'll see the hot teammates and Vic," Justin said as I was walking fast. Even if it was kind of a joke to him, he wasn't completely wrong. I was eager to see Vic.

I didn't answer though or blush. I wasn't like Emmeric, my cheeks didn't flush easily. Vic seemed to be the only one to be able to color my cheeks, I loved that.

Five minutes later, I was opening the door of the changing room and didn't give a care in the world that half the guys here were naked. No, I didn't care because I was too impatient to see Vic. The wait was excruciating today. We just shared kisses, I was aware of that. There was nothing official between us. Still, I had to refrain myself three times today to go see him. During lunch, I thought I would lose it when I spotted him with his friends in the cafeteria. It was a miracle I stayed put, not prancing over him. I didn't want him to think I was clingy. The truth was, I was clingy. When I like someone, I can't stay away from this person. He didn't have to know that though.

"Emmeric please, tell me what Kellin have today," asked Justin, dropping his sports bag on the bench beside Emmeric.

Emmeric titled his head to the side, looking at me intensely and I swear he could read in me with his piercing blue eyes. I gulped in apprehension, as if 'I'm falling for Vic' was marked on my forehead. Eventually, he finished his examination and just shrugged. Well, I hoped he really meant the shrug. I knew how perceptive Emmeric was and I didn't want to hurt him by rubbing my feelings for Vic on his face. Another good reason why I kept my relationship with Vic secret. Yes, relationship, now that I took this giant step, I was ready to work on it and not be subtle anymore.
