-ASH-
I watch Emma as she's moving her head to the loud music. She's really pretty.
Lately, I have these strange feelings running through my head. I feel like kissing her. Like, ... really kissing her. Not just pecking her lips. And it's so strange because I haven't been kissed a lot. Obviously.
I only had one first kiss when I was about sixteen. But I don't feel like it counts, because the girl was like eleven and I only did that to see how I would feel. And I felt nothing exciting really.
But with Emma, it can be different. I guess. I think I'm ready to give another try with her.
I put some of her hair behind her ear with my fingers, making her stop moving. She looks at me surprised as I'm going lower to reach her height.
Her cheeks turn pink as I'm about to press my lips into hers for the first time. I can tell we both feel the electricity of the moment, but she pulls over quickly before I even kiss her properly.
"What?" I ask her confused. She's looking at the floor.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling very well." she says.
What the hell? Is she making fun of me? Doesn't she see me like that? But, she has shown me signs that she might like me.
Maybe I was all wrong. Did I just embarrass myself? I just hope I didn't ruin our friendship.
I try to ignore my confused thoughts for a moment and just concentrate on the music.
Mike was right. Their drummer sucks. He can't even keep up with the rest of the band. I'm not saying that I play better, but I could. But being on the orphanage's choir is not something to brag, so I'd better just keep it to myself.
Their music is cool though. It's completely different to what I've ever listened to but I like it. Even though, I expected Michael to be in a more hard rock band to be honest.
When the concert finally comes to an end, the people start to leave and I see Emma walking away. I make my steps further to keep up with her. I want to know why she didn't speak to me this whole time during the concert.
"Emma, where are you going? I thought that we were friends." I tell her and grab her hand and turn her around to face me.
"Yeah, me too Ashton. What was that before?" she asks and blushes a little bit.
"I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I thought you liked me." I say.
"I do. I think I like you. It was so sudden to me. Sorry." she says and gives me a smile that makes her look a lot cuter than usual.
Woah there Ash.
Suddenly, her phone starts ringing, and when she checks the caller ID her smile fades.
"I'm sorry Ashton, but I need some privacy." she says and starts walking away from me, to answer the phone.
"Sure," I shout at her.
Is there something I should be worried about, or should I just let it go?
I start walking circles as I have no idea what to do to kill my time. Suddenly, loud noises take my attention and make me want to go closer.
I finally find myself being behind the stage, that the concert took place.
"We suck Lucas. Can't you see it?" I can recognize Mike's voice. He's screaming.
I stand a few inches away from them, but the dark night hasn't let them see me yet.
"You don't have to shout Mike. Give him some time. He could make progress." the other guy says. I can remember him being on stage singing. I assume he's Lucas.
