Awoken next morning to the sound of car tyres grinding up a stony driveway, I couldn’t help but allow a small smile to come across my face as I thought about the amazing dream I had had last night. I had dreamt I kissed Lily. It was a ridiculous idea; to even think that a girl like her would be interested in someone like me was farfetched to say the least, but yet something about the incident had seemed so real.
Again I find myself startled by the sound of a car outside, peering through squinting eyes, I attempt to figure out where the noise is coming from. Even through my blared vision I could tell I was not in the guest room of the Jones’ house, instead I found myself starring at the powder pink walls of Lily’s room; was it not a dream? I lay in silent contemplation on top of the covers of her bed, while she lay still fast asleep underneath, had I really kissed Lily last night? Soon I found myself snapped back to reality by the sound of the car door being slammed shut and the horn being blown. Slowly I watched as Lily’s eyes began to slowly open, like a flower budding for the sun, they quickly opened when she realised that I was now sitting at the edge of her bed, frozen and not sure what to do.
“Josh…” She spoke softly as she began to kick the quilt away from around her, “Who is out there?” She asked. Not waiting on a reply she leapt out of bed towards the window, drawing back the curtain for closer inspection. Sure enough, as we had already guessed, it was a little worse for wear James returning from his night at prom and who knows what else. He must have stayed out all night.
Lily turned her face back towards me, as though looking for a solution to this now developing problem. James was now only inches from putting his key in the front door, he would almost certainly check to make sure that Lily was tucked up in bed; and if he done that he would see that I was there and who knows what would happen, I’d rather not think about it. Despite this situation I found myself caught up in those deep blue eyes of Lily’s, as she stared back at me with a look just like last night; a look of affection. We stood in silence as we studied each others faces, waiting for one of us to make the first move, but with James approaching I had to get out of there fast.
“I should go…” I found my lips speak without me thinking, the words trailing off at the end as I found myself mesmerised by this goddess which stood mere inches from my face.
“Yeah you should” She smiled back at me, as I gently leaned in kissing her softly of her warm cheek before making my way towards the door. Just as I reached it, however, I found my fingers being pulled back by her delicate hand , pulling me in close to her body. I found myself for the second time in two days in an incredible situation; I was kissing Lily Jones.
“Ok, now you can go.” She teased me as she softly pushed against my back edging me towards the door, giving me a tingling feeling as she done so, her touch was like a zap of electricity through my body causing every part of me to feel something indescribable. “And Josh, thank you for being there for me last night, I don’t know what I would have done without you”
“Probably walked the whole way home?” I joked, attempting to make light of the whole situation as I heard the front door slam shut, knowing James would be here any minute.
“Don’t worry Josh, I know we can’t tell him any of what happened between us last night, he’s your best friend after all and I understand that might be more than a little strange.” She told me, making perhaps the biggest understatement of the year. Stealing one last kiss from her lips, I quickly bolted down the corridor towards the guest room as I heard Lily close over her door. As I done the same I could hear the sound of James’ tired steps make their way down the corridor; made it just in time.
Now, as I lay there in the light of a new day, I found myself turning over the events of what seemed like a dream in my mind; could I really date lily? And perhaps more importantly, what would happen if Josh found out?
