Distant Kisses

6

I felt like my world was being turned upside down. I wasn't sure how to make sense of anything and everything. I wasn't entirely sure how to react either. Nothing made any sense. Tension rose from the bottom of my stomach to the back of my throat, but in a good way. I had never felt this way before.

This was a whole 'nother type of 'new experience for me. Is now really the time? Shouldn't this moment be more... I don't know... Special? But honestly, who cares, right? Wait, me. I care. And yes. This moment in my life should be much more special than spending it with a delinquent. But me saying anything would just make things super awkward. To add on, I don't even know if I like Chii.

I don't even know what we are.

A soft gasp escaped my mouth as Chii began to lick the side of my neck. "N-no.. Chii... Wait," I could barley make out any words. Chii stopped and looked at me. I'm positive I caught him off guard. "What does this mean? What are we now?" Chii looked at me with a hint of annoyance. I couldn't hold the question off any longer. I had to know. I needed a straight answer to escape his soft lips.

However, this only made Chii hold me closer- if that was even physically possible. He put his forehead up against mine and whispered softly. "You're mine, and I'm yours." Stop speaking as if you own me, Chii. It just makes me like you even more. I felt my face turn red for the billionth time in the entire day. Why, of all people, was Chii the one who made me feel this way? Out of all the fish in the sea, my heart chose Chii.

Chii may not be my perfect dream prince that came from some far-off land in search of me, because of all the legends of my forsaken beauty. Though I must admit, I am quite stunning, if I do say so myself. Which, by the way, I do. But, my heart called out for Chii.

I loved Chii so much, I practically hated him. Why? Why why why why why? I could keep asking myself why all day, but get nowhere.

So, if I love Chii, why do I feel like now is not the right time to get... Intimate....

"Chii, maybe now is not a great time for this," I said under my breath. He leaned in and whispered into my ear. "Then when?" I caught no hints of annoyance being found in his voice. Just pure patience and respect. "I don't know." Chii still clung onto me, not letting me go from his strong grasp. "Tell me when your ready." Really, I could not love Chii more than I do right now, and this time, I actually mean it. "I will." Chii and still kept me in his captive arms. We stayed like this for a while.

Eventually, I started getting cramps form being in the same position for such a long time. I didn't want to be the one to break away though, as I feared it would just make things more awkward than they already are.

Chii's arms finally fell down to his sides and I flopped onto the spot on the bed next to him. I clung onto one of his arms, wrapping pretty much my whole body around it. He didn't mind though, because he didn't move me away or anything. Or maybe he just didn't move me because he feared that he would set an awkward mood. Either way, I still enjoyed every second I spent with this knuckle-headed scumbag.

The next day finally arrived and Chii woke me up for school. "Time to get smart, stupid." He said as I began to slowly open my eyes. Chii had already prepared breakfast and lunch. He was already in school uniform, and I found mine hanging behind the door. "You're the stupid one here," I said in my usually, grumpy morning voice.
