SHE KISSED ME.

The information didn't sink in immediately, hell, I didn't even know if it was real. But the tingly sensation on my lips told me otherwise. I still felt the sensation of her soft lips linger on my own as I stood in front of her, completely amazed by what she did. It happened so quick that I could not process it let alone enjoy it. I was just teasing her when I told her that a kiss would make up for the concert, of course I wanted her to kiss me (I had been wanting this since the first day I saw her) but I didn't think she would take it literally. She knew that I liked joking around and flirting with her but I never thought that she would actually do it! If I knew she was going to kiss me, I wouldn't have let her go. I would've held on her waist and pulled her closer to me, I would've kissed her until I'd run out of breath and then I would kiss her again. And again.

But as soon as the moment came, it also went. Then she walked towards my car while I was still frozen on place, my heart beating faster than it should. I finally snapped out of my trance and turned back to my car. I entered the car silently, with Selena next to me as equally silent.

Act normal, as if you just didn't kiss the girl you're head over heels for.

"So, a little bit eager to feel my lips, weren't you?" I teased, as casually as I could, ignoring the fact that I wanted to kiss her again.

She rolled her eyes but I could see her cheeks turning pink. I hoped she didn't tell me she regretted it because I sure did not. "Shut up."

"You kissed me, though."

"Because...I wanted to- I don't know! Thank you for bringing me here? I've always wanted to come at Ed's show, you know. It was just very exciting and I just sort of- ugh- forget that it happened, okay," she replied, her cheeks now a darker shade of pink. She was so cute but I was not going to forget that—not when I wanted to do it again.

"Oh, so you usually thank guys by kissing them?" I pressed further, wanting to irritate her. I loved teasing her and it was so adorable when she would get frustrated with me.

"Shut up," she groaned, covering her face with her hands.

I fixed my eyes on the road as I drove, a smile still on my lips. "What time is it?"

"Almost ten," she murmured, staring out at the night sky.

"Cool, where do you wanna go?" I asked casually.

She chuckled. "Home, Justin. It's ten p.m., where would I want to go?"

"You know, there's a restaurant downtown which does not close until midnight or so. It's very cool, apparently. We can go there," I proposed.

"No," she objected, "My parents will probably be home soon and I just sent my mother a message saying that I'm at Jake's house and that I'll be back soon. What if she calls Jake and asks where I am?"

"Then call Jake and tell him to make up an excuse. C'mon, we're already out and there's rarely such a good weather in London. Plus I bet you're hungry or thirsty even after screaming your lungs out at the concert," I said, glancing at her to see that she was shyly smiling.
