"hey, uh yeah, i'm mike! i was gonna have you sit by me when you came in but Colby's a bitch and never lets me talk to the pretty girls." he says and smiles at me. i laugh at him, "but anyways yeah, your absolutely gorgeous. i think i should ask, do you have a boyfriend?"
my heart drops, "no, i uh, don't. i've actually never had a boyfriend before, which most people think i'm crazy for, but my father is kind of uh, strict you can say, and i've never been able to date, but i just turned 18 not too long ago so i'm trying to get myself out there." i explain.
"well, like i said, my name is mike and i'm available as well, and yeah. just putting that out there." i smile a him.
"noted."
jake opens the door and without a word pulls mike back inside. i hear scuffling and yelling inside before mike huffs and puffs and makes his way back out to the balcony. i smile at his struggle as he slams the door shut.
"sorry, about, that." he says out of breath.
i laugh loudly which makes him grin, "your laugh is so cute!" he exclaims.
i blush and look out on the city, "it's so beautiful here. i take it for granted." i whisper. he turns towards the city as well and covers my hand with his. i flinch a bit before i relax and let him intertwine his hand in mine. it felt a little awkward cause of the size difference in our hands, but it felt nice.
he turns towards me and i turn towards him.
he starts to lean in, but i pull away.
he jumps back and bit and let's go of my hand, "i-i'm sorry i shouldnt-"
"no, i, fuck, this is so embarrassing. i-uh, ive never had my first kiss yet." i squeak out.
his eyes widen, "oh, i-"
"i want to kiss you." i state. he relaxes a bit more, "i just don't know how?" i say. "fuck i sound so stupid i'm so sorry." i say and turn away from him.
he puts his hand on the shoulder and spins me around and pulls me into a kiss. he presses his lips gently to mine and it just came naturally to me. we both pull back out of breath and stare into each others eyes.
"woah." i whisper.
"woah." he whispers too.
i raise my hand up to his cheek and trace his jawline softly, he shivers just a bit. he slides his hand on the side of my face and pulls me into another kiss. this time he slips his tongue into my mouth which shocks me a bit and i became relaxed too quickly. i guess this is what the elder refer to as, "tonsils hockey."
we pull away again and both smile at eachother.
jake swings the door open again and mike and i pull away from eachother and luckily Jake didn't notice our proximity to eachother.
"hey cass, we're gonna go to the movies in like 20 minutes to see It Chapter 2, wanna come with us?" he asks. i smile, "yeah that sounds great." i say. he nods and shuts the door.
"that was close." mike says to me.
i grin, "your my first kiss mike, how does it feel to be the chosen one?" i ask.
he laughs and pretends to hold a mic, "it feel great miss Cassandra-"
"cortez." i fill in the blank.
"again, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. and not to sounds like a fucking 10 year old but will you sit next to me at the movies?" he says i'm a baby voice.
i grab the strings of his hoodie and pull on them. i grab the edges and pull him into another kiss, "i'd be honored too mr?"
"dead. mr. Mike Dead." he says.
i roll my eyes, "alright mr. dead".
