Being the Little Sister

47 - Blushing

I was aware of the closeness of his body. How close his face was to mine. My stomach was in a twist as the old warehouse and forest surrounding us became nothing more than a blur. Tingles erupted against my skin as his arm came around my back and held onto me. I gasped and didn't have a chance to react before his lips were on mine.

A tingling warmth fell over my whole body all the way down to my toes, making them curl. Pulling me closer up to his chest, without thinking my arms went around his neck as I pressed my lips against his.

In the bliss of the moment, I forgot about everything, and for a split second, I got so lost in the moment that I just sank into his arms.

Pulling away I breathed out a small laugh. My lips were tingling and I closed my eyes once again to just enjoy the moment of intimacy. I rested my head against his chest letting my hair fall, draping my face as he held onto me. Brushing my hair out of my face he put his hand on my cheek, guiding my face to meet his eyes.

I bit my lips and smiled almost sheepishly at Andrew as he looked at me like he did that day in the hospital right before we were about to kiss. He let out a breath and broke loose a boyish grin.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that" My blush deepened and I let my head fall back into his chest as I felt his chuckles rumble against me.

It was an echo that followed the thud of the car door closing. Andrew stood on the other side of my driveway and every time I looked over to him, that giddy feeling wouldn't leave. He walked over to me and grabbed my waist pulling me close. Alarmingly my eyes went over to the house, checking if anyone was snooping through the windows. When I couldn't find anyone I looked back at Andrew.

"You don't want them to find out?"

Shaking my head I let my head run through all the possibilities of what might happen when they found us like this "I wouldn't want to risk it"

His head fell back as he let out a laugh "That bad?"

Even if my head was stuck with the idea of what might happen I still managed to crack a smile from his smile and nod "That bad"

He just looked at me for a second and my eyes fell on his eyelashes that framed his blue eyes.

"Thanks for today, I had fun," I said breaking the silence as my mind went back to my brothers.

"Me too," Andrew said and kissed my forehead making tingles erupt up in my stomach. "Alright see you tomorrow love"

With that he got in his car, leaving me flustered from the nickname. Shooting me a smirk he took off out of the driveway and down the road. For a minute I just stood there, taken by the moment before I did a little jump and a twirl. Letting out a laugh I couldn't contain the happiness inside.

Okay, Lara. Calm down.

Composing me again I took a deep breath and walked into the house. I tried to be quiet to avoid any conversations that might take place. I couldn't get off the stupid smile from my mouth even how much I tried. I bit onto my inner cheek as I walked into the house. I heard loud screaming from the living room which just made matters worse considering the stairs to my room is connected to the living room.

There, on the couch, of course, all of my brothers were seated watching football together, screaming at the tv. I tried to be sneaky and just walk past but Noah turned around and saw me.

"What's wrong with your face," Noah asked, gaining everyone else attention towards me.

Wow, just great.
