Chapter Seven: Andrew

He touched my cheek. I closed my eyes and let my self dissolve into his touch. He was magnetic. I couldn't get enough of him.

"I want to be with you." I said, "But, we're moviing back to New York." I opened my eyes, to see his shut ones. I didn't want to hurt him. i had no choice. "I'm leaving in a few hours. I need to pack now but, I didn't want to tell-"

He kissed me! His lips were pressed against mine in an instant, cutting me off from what I was about to say. He tasted like coconut, and he smelled like... well, him. And his hair! As I wrapped my hands around his neck, I gently tugged on handfuls of his soft, chocolate brown hair. He snaked his arms around my waist and I just couldn't breathe. I wanted- no scratch that- needed him. But, I had to go. As I broke apart from the kiss, i saw the hurt and pain in his eyes, and I didn't know I was crying until he cupped my face in his hands and gently swiped the tears from my cheeks.

I turned away from him and left.

"Cecily? Hellooooo? Are you in there?" I heard someone ask. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I fought to recognize the voice. Oh. I was at lunch with Serena at a sushi place called Silver Rice.

I don't even know why I was thinking of Andrew. I mean sure, we were in love but, I was 15! It was the summer!

Anyway, as I focus my eyes, I see why I thought of Andrew. Because he's standing at the door, face sheet white, shock, hurt, and love in his eyes all at once. I can see why the guy is upset. But it wasn't my fault! He never gave me his number! And my mom wouldn't let me go down to see him, back in Georgia.

He starts to walk up to our table, so I tap Serena repeatedly on the knee. She notices Andrew, and realizes that we have to get out of here now. I can't deal with all of these past emotions reappearing. I need to leave.

We get up from our table, after paying for the sushi, and make a run for it, hoping it's not too late.

"Oh no you don't. There's no way you're leaving me a second time Belle." he said in that lazy Southern drawl that always made me go crazy. And yes, he calls me Belle, which is my middle name. And he's the only one allowed to do so.
