It all started with a peck.

Yeah, a stupid fudging peck.

On the lips. Now, I'm like, 'Hey, I'm in trauma!'

Today's the day after the 'kiss'. I'm now on my bed, under the blanket, rotting. After rather 'kiss' yesterday, I dashed back home and crawled to where I was now. Which means I haven't taken any meals at all. Not to mention shower. I know you're pretty confused right now and want to know more juicy details. Well, let me enlighten you.

(-Flashback- Yesterday)

An hour after my 16th birthday party, I went outside to get some fresh air. I decided to go to the nearby playground to kill some time. As it came to view, I rejoiced as I saw an unoccupied swing. Hey, it's not everyday that you see an empty swing. I sat down and pushed my legs off the ground. Swinging back and forth and singing my favorite song, 'Say You Like Me' by We The Kings, I became oblivious of the surroundings.

"If you like me-" I sang,

"Then say you like me." Sang a very sexy voice behind me.

I yelped and jumped out of the swing. I turned around to see the most breathtaking sight. The most beautiful boy I've ever met was standing right before me. Monkey balls, save me from fainting. Good Lord.

Is it just me, or is there some sort of blinding light flashing behind him?

"Nope, no light. Just trees." Saint Michael the Arch-Angel laughed. Yeah, I named him that. Sue me.

Wait, did I just say my thoughts out loud?

"Yeah, you did." He laughed again.

I scowled.

I looked at him, shamelessly checking him out. Hopefully, there's a six-pack behind that blue fitted shirt. Mother of funky monkeys, what am I thinking? Anyway, on with the face. His black, shaggy hair framed his face perfectly. His clear blue eyes were so deep and mesmerizing I'd rather look at it than swim in Mauii Beach. All in all, he looked absolutely stunning, adorable, jaw-dropping. You name it.

"Done checking me out?" He asked with an yeah-that's-right-I'm-effin'-hot smirk.

"Yeah, whoooo, you're not bad yourself." I blurted. Oh great, thanks, Celine. I think I'll just go to the nearby lake and drown.

"I've been told." Haha. If I remember correctly, the nearest lake here would be an approximately ten-minute walk. But if I run, I'd save three.

I rolled my eyes. How conceited. Who am I kidding, all Greek God look-a-likes are all conceited. One way or another.

"So, what's your name?" He asked. Yeah, keep talking so I can finish devicing my plan. Wait, huh?

I wasn't really paying attention because I was still busy drooling at his good looks so I just settled for a, "Humperdink Gamahaya." Somebody shoot me now. Why am I acting like a flippin' love-sick puppy?

"Really? Well, I'm Aidan Reynolds." He held out his hand. Hot name for a hot person. Sweet Jesus.

"Ah, sorry. I'm Celine, Celine Avery." I shook his hand.

"Nice name."

"I'm aware." I replied as I gave him a smirk that came out as a smile. Traitor body. He, in return, gave me a megawatt smile that almost knocked me off. Somebody, help me.

I sat on the swing again, trying to divert my attention but he succesfully ruined that by sitting on the other one. Even from about a thirty-cm diameter, I could smell his shampoo. Weird, girls usually smell the cologne, right? Dang, my brain cells are really deteriorating in a fast and steady process. But still, I wondered how shampoo could smell a thousand times better on him than anybody else I've met.

We settled into a comfortable silence for awhile while gazing at the sky.

"So..." He began. "Do you like someone?"

DeliciousMcHottieWhoWillBeMyFutureHusbanSayWhat?

"Beg pardon?" I asked, looking at him as if he grew a second head. I did not see that coming.

"I said, do you like someone?"

How do I freaking answer that?

"Yeah, I do." Way to go. Then I remembered the school hottie. He could be a jerk and all, but I've seen his nice, kind and has a sweet side. Unfortunately, he's obsessed with my best friend, Isabel Laurence. Like she would fall for him. But although Alex (the hottie) is actually a nice person, I don't have any special feelings. Maybe a teeny crush.

"Well, have you told him your- I mean, are you going to tell him your feelings?"

"What?! NO FREAKING WAY." I said making an 'X' with the arms. "You just ask what comes into you're mind, don't you?"

He laughed. "If I were you, I'd just man up and kiss whoever it is."

"Why am I not surprised." I rolled my eyes.

Once again, we settled into a comfortable silence. This time, it didn't last very long.

"So Celine, what are we?" He asked with a hopeful look.

"Well, I think we've gone past being 'Acquaintances' so, friends. Yeah, friends."

He frowned. "Friends... With benefits?" He smirked at the last part.

I'm out! Leave it to him to make me go crazy.

"You're such a guy."

He laughed and as he did, I couldn't help feeling a fluttering beat in my chest, proud that I was the reason why he did. I smiled slightly to myself before looking up again. He looked a his watch and his grin faltered.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I gotta go." He said standing up looking extremely disapointed

I tried hiding the mini grimace I made earlier. I have to admit, it was nice having him around. I didn't want him to leave.

He gave me a genuine smile and leaned closer to me.

I put my hands on his chest instinctively to prevent our bodies from touching. I felt him smile at my action and proved it right when I looked at him. His intoxicating scent entered my nostrils and it made me want to smell him all over. He smelled like......oreos? Yum. My heart beat increased in a pulse I never knew was humanly possible when I felt his warm breath and aqua eyes intently looking into mine.

He bent his head down to my height and kissed me.

Bloody hell, it was a peck. But it's still a big deal for me.

"Happy Birthday." He whispered as he looked into my eyes. He then jogged off.

Ah, well, me? I was frozen on spot.
