His soft lips were warm on mine and I couldn't help but wonder if this was a dream. The way our lips moved in sync, the way his hair felt when I wrapped my hands around his neck and grabbed it in my small hands. It was as if everything that I had been worrying about just melted away as soon as his lips crashed into mine. His tongue slipped into my mouth and before I could overthink anything my body reacted. I someone knew exactly what to do.

I pulled away after what seemed like an eternity of bliss and immediately glued my eyes to the ground. My whole body was trembling. A warm rose tinted blush crept onto my cheeks. I bit my lip, the feeling of my teeth raking over my lips calming my nerves. My heart rate accelerated and the once rosy coloring in my cheeks morphed into a deep red, once I noticed what I was wearing. I guess when I was packing I never really thought about who I would be seeing. Under my super short white crop top was a gray bralette and since the top hung off my shoulder it was very visible. To top it all off I was wearing my black fuzzy socks and red almost-underwear like fuzzy shorts. My arms wrapped around my exposed stomach in a feeble attempt to show less skin.

My body jolted slightly when two fingers found their way under my chin. The large hand attached to them gently lifted my head so my gaze met Scott's.

"Cali, I'm sorry. Did you not want me to do that? Did I scare you?" Scott asked sounding very concerned.

I shook my head. "I uh- I mean yeah it took me by surprise." I bit my lip and looked up at him, "but I've been wanting you to do that since the day we met."

Scott smirked, "Well good, because I'm gonna do it again."

He wrapped his arms around my waist, his touch sending shocks through my bare stomach. He pulled me into his chest and then smashed his lips onto mine. After a minute or so we pulled apart. Yet he kept me pressed against his chest. I buried my head in his shirt, "oh my God" I muttered.

I looked up at his dreamy eyes and melted. He looked down at me and kissed the top of my head.

"Was that... Your first kiss?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

Mentally face-palming, my eyes found the ground once again. It was embarrassing, what junior in high school hasn't had their first kiss yet? I couldn't bring myself to answer his question. Also how did he know it was my first kiss? I must be horrible at it. I mean he isn't horrible...

"Cali..." He tutted, pulling me out of my thoughts.

A breathy sigh escaped my lips and I met his, surprisingly non-judgemental, gaze. I bit my lip and nodded slowly. I felt so ashamed, and I'm sure he knew that.

A small chuckle escaped his lips, "Well I'm honored." He grinned goofily.

I giggled and scratched my itchy wrist.

Both of our heads snapped up to the sound of a cough. Stiles got up off his bed, "Sorry to interrupt your little love fest here, but I figured I would stop you before I hurled." His usual sarcastic tone dripping from his remark.
