I couldn't breathe. Not because the place was tight. Okay, well it was because of that, but also because I could literally feel Carl's body pressed against mine.

We had been there for just five minutes. Yes! I was counting!

I felt Carl move and he breathed out. His breath sent shivers through my body as it fanned my neck. As if that wasn't enough, his lips brushed against the crook of my neck, and my knees went weak.

"C-Carl", I stuttered and moved a little. "Don't do that", he whispered against my neck and I gasped, feeling my knees go weak again.

"S-sorry", I apologized when I felt his hand somewhere.

"Your....your hand is....", I trailed off and it remained quiet for a while. "That's.....not my hand", he replied and my eyes widened in realisation.

"This is dangerous", he whispered and I felt his forehead on mine. "Too dangerous", I agreed.

I couldn't feel my knees. Probably because we were so close that our noses brushed against each other.

Feeling a little pain on my ankle, I closed my eyes and tried to move up a bit and I paused in shock when I felt lips on mine.

I couldn't move and breathe, it must've been the same for him because he too made no attempt to move.

Then I did something stupid. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck, with a few bumps here and there and pressed my lips against his.

Carl, seeing it as a 'go - ahead', deepened the kiss. At first it was just me, floating on air as our lips moved in sync. Until his tongue tapped my lip, asking for entrance, and I opened my mouth.

Worse mistake!!

His tongue tapping mine and exploring every inch of my mouth was the last thing I felt, before my knees gave up and I fell into darkness.

***********•**********

I slowly opened my eyes to the bright light from the hotels curtains and yawned. I slowly stretched to my satisfaction and paused when the events of last night came back to me.

"Holy rabies!!!!!", I screamed and jumped up from the bed and winced in pain once I felt a pain in my ankle. I slowly sat down on the bed and  looked around, feeling freaked out and confused when Kate walked out from the bathroom with a towel.

"Morning", she smirked. "What....what happened?, I asked with wide eyes and her smirk grew.

"Exactly what I want to ask you. After like......ten minutes, Carl carried you out of the wardrobe. You passed out. And his face.....", she trailed off as she sat on the bed and faced me. "Was completely red. What happened in that little room girl. Tell me", she wiggled her brows and I pulled on my hair.

"We kissed", I blurted and she squealed. "It.....well......it kinda turned into a tongue kiss.", Her eyes lit up in excitement.

"Then I fainted.", I added and she threw a pillow at me.

"Why!!!????", She scolded, "I know!!!", I yelled back while I pulled on my hair.

Carl kissed me! Like....he really did!!!

"He friggin kissed me! And I fainted!!!! Why!!!!", I cried out in frustration and I paused.

"You", I hissed and glared at Kate. "It was because of your stupid dare!!", Her eyes widened a fraction and as she stood up to run, I pounced on her.

**********

"Are they feeling okay?", Mom asked as she looked between Carl and I. "Um....yes....they are", Kate replied with a nervous smile.

Carl and I ....... hadn't talked, or looked at each other.

I was too embarrassed to, and I guess....he just regretted it.

But...that was my first kiss...

"We'll be going back tomorrow. I was called back to work. And I have to catch a flight to Paris by noon.", Dad informed and we all nodded.

"But it's safe to say we all had a good time right?", Mom smiled and we nodded again. "We should do this again.", Dad added and he pecked mom's lips.

She giggled and looked  back at us. "Let's eat shall we?"

...............

That day went by, Carl and I didn't talk, same with the next morning, during the pack, and the flight.

We just stayed quiet.

***************

"Wake up Alex!!!!", Mom yelled and I screamed and fell off my bed. "Time for school", she said.

I yawned and nodded. I had to stay back at home for two days to heal my ankle.

I enjoyed the rest while it lasted.

Still....Carl and I didn't talk to each other. And it hurt. I badly wanted to talk to him.

But I didn't know if he felt the same.

I yawned again and slowly closed my eyes when I felt a pain on my head.

"Ow! Mom!", I yelled and watched as she swung the spatula around. "Get up. Now", she ordered with a blank expression and I sighed.

"Fine", I muttered.

After taking my bath, dressing up in a tee and skinny jeans, I tied my hair in a pony tail and put on powder and a lip gloss. Then scurried downstairs.

"Morning mom!", I greeted and she rolled her eyes. "Morning to you too"

I stabbed my pancakes with my fork and shoved it in my mouth. While chewing I looked around, noticing it was too quiet. Dad wasn't back from his trip to Paris though.

"Where's Carl?", Mom hummed a reply before looking at me. "Oh...he uh..he left early.", She said before she dropped her fork. "He's acting strange. You too", she added and I smiled.

"Really?, I didn't know", I replied and shoved my mouth with a pancake one last time before I quickly got up, kissed mom goodbye and ran out of the house.

************

I sighed in relief once I got to class. I arrived before Mr. Wood could enter the class and I thanked heaven for that.

I rested my head on the table and took a deep breath in. "Hello students", I heard Mr. Wood greet and I rose my head up to see a girl by his side.

Her red hair cascaded down to her shoulders, her lips were a jungle red, her eyes looked green from where I sat and her skin looked tanned. She wore Jeans and a green top that showed off her huge breasts.

"Meet April West, your new classmate", he introduced and she bowed.

She rose her head slowly and I watched as her eyes scanned the classroom, and landed on me.

Then she smirked.

Oh sugar honey ice tea.
