Chapter 21 ➵ I want to kiss you

Will's Pov:

Mike scoots himself closer to me. His crossed legs were practically on top of mine.

"Mike what are talking about?"

"I want to kiss you again." He gulps.

"Do you think that's okay?"

"Yeah..." he nods.

I glance down at his lips and I watch as both of us lean in towards eachother.

I feel him capture my lips in another kiss.

 This one felt more demanding... as if he'd been craving it.

"Will?" I focus my hearing on his voice, while he still continues to kiss me.

"... I think that I m-"

"Oh... my god." I hear a voice speak from beside us.

I pull away immediately from Mike and turn my head to see Eleven and Nancy.

Fuck.

I scoot back a few inches, as if it would help my case at all.

"I knewwww it! I freaking knew it!" Nancy shouts.

Mike and I cover our faces out if pure embarrassment.

This is not happening right now is it?

"What! You knew?" El sobs into both of her hands and stares daggers at Nancy.

"Will! I knew you would take him from me! You're such a terrible brother!" She storms down the stairs, stomping on each individual step.

Nancy rolls her eyes. "I feel bad for her, until she does that."

"Why were you guys even doing? Listening to us?" Mike hisses.

"No, I was helping El figure stuff out and we came out here to see you two making out."

"We weren't making out!" Mike defends.

"Uhhh, sure looked like it."

While Nancy and Mike were arguing, I was off in my own little world....

She's going to tell my mom.. she is going to tell everyone that I stole her boyfriend.

I felt like crawling up into a little ball and disappearing forever. 

I just need a break.

I abruptly stand up and run down the stairs.

I ignore Mike and Nancy's calls for me as I open the door and walk out.

I just need some time.. to think about everything that just happened within the last 10 minutes.

Mike doesn't know if he likes me, but he kissed me 3 times... he even asked to! What am I supposed to think?

I know that Mike wouldnt play with my feelings like that, and that he's probably just confused, but I know exactly how this will end.

Hes going to keep kissing me and treating me like his boyfriend, then figure out that he's just going through a phase, then Im going to get heart broken, again, and will have to deal with for another 3 years.

I don't want to be lead on...

I want to be with him. Not be his "side dude" until he figures out that he's straight like every other normal human being.

I bring up my pointer finger to my lips and touch them. They still feel swollen..

Mike is a good kisser... I think. I've never kissed another human.
