────────────────── THE ALMOST KISS
I WAS SITTING down on my surfboard in the ocean with john b. and kie. We waited for jj and pope to get here so we were just sitting and talking while floating on the water.
"so what's been going on in your life genevieve?" kiara smiled sweetly at me
"nothing really? i guess the kooks are being a pain in my butt is all." i shrugged
"just be careful." i smiled then nodded at her. if only she knew
"hey! save some waves for us!" a voice called out. all three of us looked and saw jj and pope running towards the water
"hey, where have you been?" kie yelled to them
We all started surfing and i forgot how much i missed spending time with my friends. It's been so different and they are now doing their little treasure hunt and i'm now sitting on the sidelines, but i'm happy to at least be with them once and a while.
LATER THAT NIGHT i sat in my living room eating ice cream while watching a stupid romantic movie with a sad ending. My dad ended up going out with friends to drink and play darts or something like that.
"no the train already left!" i yelled at the screen, as usual, "gosh people are so stupi-" a few knocks sounded through the house from my front door "i can never get one night to myself can i?" getting up felt like torture, why can't i just stay in one place?
As i opened the door rafe cameron was standing with his hands in his grey sweatpants pockets, with a loose hockey t-shirt on, and his hair wasn't gelled back, it was messy and i have to say it's really hot.
"h-hi." i mentally hit myself for stuttering
"hey." he chuckled "i was thinking about you and i couldn't sleep."
"oh?" my eyebrows were raised and if you looked close enough i think rafes cheeks were a little pink.
"could i-"
"yeah! sorry." i moved out of his way and let him into the house "it's a little messy." the door closed behind him
"i don't mind." i watched his movements as he walked towards the couch "sorry i came over," he said immediately looking back at me
"it's fine. i was just watching a movie." i made my way over towards him as we both sat on the couch
"what were you watching?" he questioned gazing at me
"just some stupid love movie." i glanced at my hands
"didn't take you for a rom-com type person." rafe put his arm on the back of the couch so it was resting behind me and i'm not gonna lie, i could feel his body heat hitting my back, but im not complaining.
"it happens in my free time i guess." i smiled at him
It went silent after that. With both rafe and i staring at one another, there was some kinda tension making us stay in this place. My eyes fell to the blonde boys lips then up to his eyes when i saw him do the same to me. He started to lean in. Listen, i'm freaking out right now. Rafe Cameron is leaning in to kiss me and i'm not pulling back any time soon. He was inches from my lips. I swear i saw his mind moving so fast as if he was still debating to close the space between us.
"i'm home!" my dads voice sprung through the house and rafe jumped away from me, off the couch making a huge space between us— back to stage one, i guess.
"rafe-" i started to get out but again my dad walked into the living room
"rafe, it's a surprise seeing you here!" i watched my father chuckle and shake race's hand
"yes sir, i'm sorry i came to see your daughter for something she left at my house with sarah the other day." the teenager smiled at my dad and i swear i felt my heart melt
"that's okay, you're always welcome here. i know how tough your dad can be sometimes."
"thank you." when those words came out of rafe's mouth they were genuine and soft as if rafe would need this opportunity just in case something did happen. "s-so i should be going now." he nodded walking past my dad and towards the door
"i'll walk you out." i stood up following him. when we reached the door rafe opened it and walked out but turned around looking at me
"good night vi. i'll talk to you tomorrow."
"night rafe. drive safe." i smiled at him as i watched him turn back around and walk to his truck.
