Chapter 15
Riker POV
I felt tons of butterflies in my tummy. It was a quick kiss, but it made me feel a million things at once.
"And I meant that too," Kelsey whispered.
I couldn't stop myself from smiling and blushing. It felt like my face was on fire.
"That was my first kiss," I whispered, looking down at my feet.
"Sorry, was it-"
"It was perfect," I said, meeting her eyes again.
Kelsey smiled.
"You're perfect," I whispered.
Kelsey hugged me tight.
"Let's go inside, ok?" Kelsey asked.
"Yeah, it's cold."
We went inside and walked back up to her room. We sat down beside each other on the floor.
"So... Are w-we... like a-am I..." I stuttered.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kelsey finished for me.
"Yeah?"
"If you want."
I smiled super big again and nodded.
"Then I guess we are," she said, taking my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"Cool," I said, leaning my head on her shoulder.
I couldn't stop smiling. I felt better than I ever have in my whole life.
"I'm getting hungry. We should have a midnight snack," Kelsey said.
"Ok."
We held hands as we walked downstairs.
"Are you hungry too?" Kelsey asked.
"Um... I don't know. My tummy feels... weird."
"Butterflies?"
I nodded.
"Yeah, me too. They'll probably go away soon."
Kelsey got some M&M's, and we sat down at the kitchen table.
"I can't believe tonight," I said, quietly.
"Why?"
"It's just perfect."
Kelsey laughed.
"You're just perfect," she said.
I blushed again.
We ate some M&M's, and then went back up to her room. My tummy still felt a little funny, and I was getting really tired.
I laid down on the floor.
"You ok, Riker?"
"Just sleepy."
"We can put on a movie and head to bed if you want."
"I'd like that a lot."
Kelsey got out a bunch of blankets from her closet and threw them to me. I made a giant bed on the floor. Kelsey opened her laptop and put on Netflix.
"What do you want to watch?" She asked.
"Whatever."
I curled up under the blankets, and Kelsey sat down next to me. She put on a movie, and laid down beside me.
"Goodnight, Riker."
"Goodnight," I said, smiling.
She found my hand under the covers and intertwined our fingers. I swear I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
